Howdy All, I have read with interest the problems that some people have with profiles and XP ( service pack 2 included ) in getting them to work. I, however, have not had any such trauma's ( thank goodness) and the smb.conf file listed below works a treat. The problem I have is people using profiles over several vpn connections ( just to slow ). So now I am in the situation of wanting to turn

I am running a Snap 4200 fileserver, which is a network appliance that uses Samba to share files on a windows network. I've been experiencing slow performance on the Snap. The issue started suddenly 5 to 6 weeks ago, so I don't think it's a performance-related problem. I SSHed into the unit and noticed some odd errors in the samba event logs. They look something like this:

Hi all ! This is a patch for Group mapping bug #1 reported here : http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-January/034057.html It activates users' primary group SID update when adding/modifying/deleting a group mapping. It patches utils/net_groupmap.c (net_groupmap_add, net_groupmap_modify, net_groupmap_delete) and can be applied to samba-3.0.2rc1. net_groupmap_add : Scan users

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples
