Hy, I just install OpenLDAP 2.0 and Samba 3.0. (both from RPM). I used tools from idealx (found in src from Samba 3.0) to populate the ldap tree. My ldap is empty when i start, i just added index and samba.schema in slapd.conf. I used net rpc getsid to generate my domain SID and put in the smbldap_conf.pm with others options (dc, ou, dn etc.) I didn't get any error with this tool, it create

Hi, Does anyone know of a document that gives details on how to set up Bind 9 and DHCPD 3.x so that dns is updated when clients log on? I saw this is not in the howto collection (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727) so I was kind of hoping someone else has some notes. I would be greatfull for any tips and links. Tarjei

Hi, I'm about to migrate a lot of files from a windows server to a new, shiny samba-server. I just got a small problem : What is the best way to do this? I'e tried rsync, but it croaks on some files with names like "somethign :some.eml" the same does cp. What I'm wondering about, is has anyone else had these problems, and if so, how did you solve them? Do you have a

Hello, I try to install a PDC with Samba 3.0.23 and openldap 2.3.27.

Occasional problems arise where the .pst file just will not copy from the users profile on the server. Doesn't seem to be related to the file size. Has anyone had issues with outlook and Samba PDC - (win2k clients). Solutions that have worked have ranged from complete loss of the .pst file to restarting users profile from scratch. thanks Alex Genna

Hi, I experiemented a bit with the guest account parameter the other day, and I some questions: a) It seems to me that if you turn this parameter on, the user will be used when someone browses the domain without beeing a domain member, is this a true observation? (Don't answer this one, I checked the manual and it said yes). b) It also seems that the guestuser must have a sambaSid that

Hi I have installed samba 3.0.7-1 on debian sarge. I have configure it as standalone. I put a share as follows: [share] writeable = yes browseable = yes public = yes path = /home/samba The permission on /home/samba is as follows: chmod 777 /home/samba Now on my windows XP, the share is listed when i browse. I am also able to copy a file to the share. But i cannot open the file and it just

Hi, I've set up a domain where some of my users are using mandatory profiles to logon to the network. However, I got one problem that just doesn't go away. When my users log on, they do not get the correct keyboard setting - even if it is the same as configured for the mandatory user + all other users on the client machine. Instead the users get the us-keyboard settings. Also the users

Hi, I would like to make Sambaadmins aware of the simple and powerfull program dnsmasq. It makes setting up a caching dnsserver + dhcp-server that maps local machines to the local domain a breeze, something that is missing in the samba howto collection (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727). I've been running it for two months now, so I felt it was time to recomend

Hi, I''m just wondering if there are any speed or stability differences between running a system directly of a LVM partition versus a xvd partition? Basicly: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/LVM/root,xvda,w'', ] vs disk= [ ''phy:LVM/root,hda1,w'',] Any tips? I tried searching the archives but I didn''t find anything. Kind regards, Tarjei

Hi, I'm trying to build a PDC and BDC to elimenate Windows NT on a network and have load balancing and fault tolerence for users. I've compiled samba 2.2.4 on two servers, working with openldap 2.0.23 with a master and a slave. Replication on LDAP servers works fine. I've set up a domain controller and wanted to set the other server as BDC in case the PDC goes down. Each time i put

Hi, I'm running a samba server version 2.2.3a compiled from source. The server has been up running now since august. Now, I've suddenly been hit by a vierd bug. Several files that were opened by NT clients has been corupted. How? THE samba logs has been written into the files!! Obviusly this is a major problem. Has anyone suffered this problem ?

Hi, I seem to remember somewhere that Samba 3 can be configured so that you do not need real users for computers, that these users only exists in some tdb database. How is this possible? Can someone describe how to do this? Many thanks, Tarjei Huse

Hi, I'm trying to remove a printjob that is currently blocking the printque for one of my users. I've tried to access the printer from the user and delete it there, but this doesn't help. Cups does not show the job at all. I therefore tried to access the printspool via sambas net printq command. With net, I can find the job, and the jobid, but when I try to use net rap printq

Hi, I've finally gotten my LDAP password backend up and running, and finally figured out the SID 1000/1001 thing for Samba admin. However I'm unable to join the workstation to my domain. Using any random user in the WXP dialogue, I get the "Access is Denied" error. Fair enough. Using the user with sambasid and sambagroupsid s-*-1000/s-*-1001, I get the error "The Username

Hi all, it is possible that converting the NT4 PDC to Win200x Active Directory. And converting to OpenLDAP directory? Does such an converter exist? Thanks, Roland

Hello, we run samba 2.0.6 on Solaris2.6 and use it together with clearcase (version 3.2.1). Sometimes the checkout of files from a clearcase NT-client hangs and probably causes clearcase to destroy the viewstore. In the samba logfile of that client I found the following message: [2000/02/17 09:29:49, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2401) call_nt_transact_ioctl: Currently not
