Hello. New to SAMBA.(2.2.8 on RH9) Mixed environment of 98 & (trying) XP. My "net use s: /home" command works wonderfully for XP and 98. But XP throws in an "extra" "more home-than-home" directory - namely \username\.win_profile on the Z drive. I've tried disconnecting it with: net use Z: /delete, but XP claims to have a process running on it (even after 10

Hello. I am trying to set up SAMBA 3.x on FC4. SAMBA will be PDC with no other server. I work at a K-12 school, so unless I want 20 episodes of "Family Guy" in a student's folder, I need to set quotas. I've been looking around for 2 days and I'm stumped. I found something called smbcquotas, but it seems to apply to a mixed NT server environment. I heard rumors of configure

Hello, I am usin Samba 3.0.2 on RHES 3.0 with w2k Clients. When i make the [homes] service available the clients can access the directory. But die directory will not be mapped on the Winows clients. When i comment it out the service in smb.conf, it is not available BUT in the log file i see "cannot connect to service "user". I think this is not good for performance. I have

I'm trying to grasp pg. 154 of the "Official SAMBA-3" book by Terpstra and Vernooij and I'm just missing a critical networking concept. I understand that SIDs are the numerical identification of a user for the Windows world. I understand that UIDs are the equivalent for the *nix world. But what the @$@! is a Relative IDentifier (RID)?!? On page 153 the command to map a

Hello, I have random errors that I can not analyze nor fix: when several users connect to the same Samba share, they get sometimes error messages "the local drive name is already in use. This connection has not been restored", although the connection is still usable afterwards. This sometimes breaks a file operation. Clients are running Windows 2000, and the server is a Solaris 8

My Samba Server had a wild time this weekend thanks to alleged power fluctuations. I'm using Samba 3.x on Fedora 4. My server sits on an APC UPS that remains in good health. When I arrived this Monday I found that my MicroTik Router was still up. My Win XP pro AV server was off and my Fedora/SAMBA box was also off. (all boxes have their own 15min UPS) The Win XP pro was brought up w/out

Hello everyone, I just setup an mp3 streaming server on an old laptop I had laying around using icecast and ezstream. The problem I am having is that when ezstream gets to a certain song in a playlist I get the error "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x080576e0 ***". I'm not sure if it is doing this because of the song number it is or if it is a

After trying to get WinXP (Pro) to try and find my domain so I can log on I've finally done it, but now when I try and join my WinXP client to the domain, windows asks me to enter the username and password of an account with permission to join the domain. Now which account would this be?? root doesn't work, neither do my other samba users. Do I have to create another user or something?

Hi all! How the heck do I log on to the samba domain? Every logon attempt is met with "The system cannot log you to to this domain because the system's computer accout in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect." A clients trust account was created using the authomatic adduser script and there are valid samba users . Connection using samba

Hi, I am trying to set up Samba as a PDC on our network and having some difficulty. I established a trusted machine account and added it to the domain. Samba will however not release the SIDs needed by our servers working off of it. I get the following message when trying to do a gpresult [microsoft resource kit] LookupAccountSid failed with 1789 I did a grep through samba 2.2.8b and

Hello, Samba 2.2.2 is Installed on Solaris ...which is acting as a PDC. I am able to add WinNT m/c to the samba PDC. How to add Win2K PC to Samba PDC? Please Reply..

Hi Samba Support, I'm in an all Windows environment with about 60 Win XP workstations and 10 Win 2K Pros, served by a Win 2K Server and have mails on Exchange 2000. But Mine!! and I mean Mine! stability is a problem! I read about the ability of Samba as a PDC. Please I need to implement this technology quickly to the situation and buttress my initial arguement that the right choice was an X

Hi everyone! I've already deployed samba-2.2.7a-2 and enabled openLDAP support. I now have a machine configured as a domain controller authenticating all windows users via openLDAP. openLDAP is also authenticating all of our linux users. I would like to install Exchange2000 on a windows2000 machine so our windows users can do calendaring (sendmail already handles all of our email needs).

Hi list, We are in the process of replacing our current Windows 2k file server with a Debian Linux one running Samba. I am running Samba 2.999+3.0.Alpha21 which is packaged for Debian in the Unstable tree. I believe I have configured everything correctly however when I login from a Windows client it is creating the users profile under there home directory rather than in the profile directory

Currently running samba 2.2.7 on rh8 I have not had any problems until recently, and I'm not sure exactly what would have caused this problem. I have no problem joining a w2k workstation to my domain, but whenever I attempt to log into the domain, i receive the following error on the workstation: The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its

Hello, Perhaps I'm going to ask a stupid question, but it represents a problem for me :'(. My intention is to build a PDC with samba in a lan filled up with Windows clients. I have set up the Samba server and I can "mount" a directory from samba in a letter on a windows machine, such as g: for example. This works fine, but... I can't log in, or validate users, against the

Is it possible to allow your Liunx box "see" your winbox, just like the winbox can "see" or browse the Linux box with Samba?

Hi all... looking for some assistance with my first Samba setup. The setup: On a small (five-computer, mixed Win2k and WinXP pro) LAN, I'd like a share on my FreeBSD server to be available for storage. No printing, no PDC, no individual user directories or password protection -- just a big ol' slice of storage for everyone to access equally. I've come close, (the share shows up

Has anyone had any luck adding machine accounts from w2k to a samba 3.0 pdc? I posted the issue last week, as I noticed others were encountering the same problem. The weird thing is I had it working on a box before. But this time I'm using pam_ldap to avoid local unix accounts, and it wont work. I copied the config over from the box that was working, made changes for the different config
