Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same

Question about changing file permissions in Windows XP when running samba as a PDC. If you hit Properties and go to the security tab, instead of listing the proper group/user names it lists the full SID. Is there a way to get Windows XP to map these to the proper user/group names? I am using LDAP as a backend with Samba. Thanks. -- James

hi, I am quite new on using Samba and sorry maybe ask a silly question here. I set up simple Samba server on Fedora3 using the samba rpm package comes with fedora3( version 3.0.10-1.fc3).

Everything goes fine so far, except that for some windows user, some times, on browsing some directories, it takes extremely long time to display the

Hello all.... I need help and I'm just about at my wits end. First let me state that I can not give logfiles in email since the Samba servers are on the secure side of my world and contain sensitive information. If by my stating my problem, I am hoping that someone will point me in certain directions that I have not tried. We have two samba servers on our site. Both are running Samba 3.0.0.

Hi all, I wanted to give an update on this as I know this MS Hotfix is critical and must be applied to protect against the (latest) Microsoft worm. I think I've found the problem in the code, and am currently testing a fix for this (not in the release to others to test stage yet). As soon as I'm reasonably confident I'll put a patch out there for others to test, and we'll

Hey guys, I configured Samba do be the domain controller for my network and to share folders. the folder sharing works great. The problem is that the domain function does not work at all. I cannot join the domain from any workstation. It just says that the controller cannot be contacted.

Hi all, I'm trying to use DFS. Using smbclient 3.4.7 (distributed with Lucid) and windows servers with both 2008sp2 and 2003sp2. Smbclient successfully lookups up our DCC's. If the first in the DNS reply is a 2003 server it works but if I get a 2008 it doesn't. The main differences is that I get a "not_defined_in_RFC4178 at please_ignore" principal in the SMB Negotiate

Hi there - I have read through the posts here that seem related to this problem and tried all the suggested solutions.

Hello I have a problem with client in W2K SP2 (not with SP1 or NT4). I use a samba server (solaris 2.7/samba 2.2.2) and a PDC (NT4SP6). When a user open a session, the home directory of the user is not connected. But, after, if I connect a network drive, it is correct. So, I think that is not a problem of password (EnablePlainTextPassword = 1 on W2K and security=user on samba server). Can

No matter who I log in as, I always get the message, Password expires in 10 days. Checking the /etc/shadow file shows that it is set to 99999 which means it shouldn't expire.

Not that this matters, here is the log.jweber file
