Hello Samba users, I'm trying to configure my samba server as a PDC for some Win2k machines. I'm running Red Hat 8.0 and samba-3.0.0rc4. Everything seems to be ok, when using workgroup configuration, all the shares works fine. But I cant get the Win2k clients to log in the Domain. It says I have a unknown user or an incorrect password. But at least it prompted me for a user/password, so I

Hello all. A couple of days back I posted a question about how I could get a Win2K client to mount a share from my linux Samba server. I was getting the familiar "account is not authorized to log in from this station" error on the Win2K box, despite a set-up that supposedly allowed guest logins *and* implemented the registry hack for clear-text passwords on the Win2k box. While I

All, Just received our first win2k/sp1 machine here. We currently have two solaris 2.6 samba installations running. One is on our print server and is version 1.19.something. The other is on our file server and is version 2.0.0. The win2k machine seems quite happy to print from the 1.19 version and there seem to be problems there. However, when I try to connect to the file server machine I get

At a new account where they run Samba 3.0.14a on a Debian server I'm seeing log files being created for both the hostname and the IP address. The log files, however, are not identical. But the timestamps are close. None of my installations have this quirk. If the hostname is resolvable the log is made using it, if not resolvable then the log is made with the IP address but not both. Any

hi, i've a problem with samba 3.0.2. there is one windows ME client which used to work with out any problems. now, as soon as the user connects (sharelevel: user, or share - i've tried both) on smbd is forked which causes 90 to 100% cpu load. when i stop samba (smbd/nmbd) this proces does not die i can only get rid of it whit a kill -9. with this no data can be transfered from or to

Hello all, I've setup samba Version 2.2.0a on Slackware 8.0 # uname -a Linux slackware 2.4.5 #6 Fri Jun 22 01:38:20 PDT 2001 i686 unknown I start samba as root from a console as: /usr/sbin/smbd -D -d10 -l /var/adm/smblogs/log -s /etc/samba/smb.conf /usr/sbin/nmbd -D -d1 -s /etc/samba/smb.conf In smb.conf I have: [files] comment = mystuff valid users = nigels path = /usr1 read

Hi, I played around with samba 2.2.5 and cups and tried to get it working. Well everything is fine, but the driver upload to the client WILL NOT WORK. I used the current stable downloads, latest patch for printing, prebuilds from Lars Mueller .... I put together everything. If one has a working samba//cups please tar it and place it on our ftp-server. I don't know what's wrong here

Hi all I have got a samba-3.0.13 (hot off the press) PDC running here that also works as a print server printig via cups-1.1.23. As a backend I use openldap-2.2.11 What I get in my log files is what you see below. It seems this only happens when the user prints a *.pdf file. The message shows up once in a while, definetly not for every print job that gets submitted. Printing of those *.pdf

Hi all, I'm currently working on getting the whole samba with ldap working. I'm having an error trying to join a computer to the domain, when windows goes to change to the new domain I get the dialogue box to enter the user/pass to join I do that and it returns: the following error occurred.... the username could not be found. taking a look at the smbd.log file it shows: [2005/06/16

I have been trying to setup a Samba 2.2.6 server on FreeBSD 4.7. I want to use my NT4 domain for authentication of users. It looks like everything is setup properly as far as winbind is concerned, see below for results using wbinfo. I am still prompted for a password when trying to connect to the samba share. I cannot list the shares using "smbclient -L servername -Udomain+username"

Hi All, I have recently configured my linux box as a pdc on my network and everything seems fine. I can mount shares, enable profile roaming etc... The problem occurs when I want to change my smb password from a windows clients. It gives says my domain cannot be found and that it cannot change the password. What surprises me is that after clicking cancel, it still logs on to the domain it

Hi, all: To recap: I can successfully get my WinXP box to join the domain (WHITEROCK), but after rebooting, when I try to log on: "The system cannot log you on now because the domain WHITEROCK is not available." I get this even when using the user 'root' - and this user was the one to successfully join the domain WHITEROCK!! To rule out any stale junk, my WinXP is a

Hi, We recently upgraded from 3.0.2a to 3.0.7 and are having problems with using shares. Our Win2K-clients must use the dns-name of the samba-server to use the shares eg. \\smbserv.domain.com\share instead of \\smbserv\share Otherwise the user is asked for username and password, but is refused access, regardless of whether the password is right or wrong. However, if a wrong password is given

I'm out of ideas here. I'm trying to set up a computer network using samba on Linux as the primary server and a WinXP machine as the client. I'm just beginning with XP, but I've been using Linux and Samba (for Win95/98) for many years now. So, I've set up samba machine "griffon" to support domains... ; Domain Stuff domain master = yes domain logons = yes logon

Hi all, This is my first try on Samba as a PDC. I have managed to setup Samba as a PDC for my home network. The Win98 pc connects and validates no probs, but not the Win XP pc. The acc on the linux system has been created and is fine as well as the samba passwd's. The XP pc is 'changed' onto the domain with no errors, with the user name that will be used by the user to log on the

A couple of days ago I set up my printer on my FreeBSD server and set it up so I could print from my FreeBSD client. This all works very well, printing from botht the server and the FBSD client. However, I also have samba set up for file serving with an XP box. I have been trying for quite some time now to set samba up to enable me to print from the XP client. My situation at the moment is that

Dear all, I have 2 domains: JUPITER.COM (Samba 3.0.23c - Centos5) and WIN.COM (Windows 2000 Adv Srv). I join a windows XP SP1 (MOON), first to Windows domain and then to Samba's. The problem is when I join the XP to Samba's and then try to logon to WIN.COM, the XP is instead logon to Samba, thus the username is not found. The DNS is not a problem, I set the DNS of the XP to

Hello all, I have some problems to make work a configuration like Samba and OpenLDAP as domain controller. My operative system is OpenSuSE 11.3.

Dear my samba friends & Craig (who has been helping me with this issue so far), please help me with this one :) I have a fedora core 1, samba 3.0.5, and openldap 2.1.*, and smbldap-tools 0.8.4.1 When I try to join the domain [AGUILAS] from my XP (winxp), it is quiting half way through the process. However, I don't completely understand why. I used samba log level 3 to diagonose the

Hi, guys, I'm trying to create a PDC using Samba with an LDAP backend. According to all the guides I read, this should be fairly easy really, but I've done nothing else for the last week and it still doesn't work the way the manual says it should! As far as I can see, everything is set up and working correctly right up to the point when I try and join a machine to the domain.
