I know this may sound a bit lazy, but I don't really wanna bother with writing many scripts from the Administration of my SMB-2.2.2 as an NT PDC Box... (like adding users, deleting users, adding shares and modifying passwords stuffs, knowing that I do the Unix-SMB password sync)... So does anyone have good scripts, or some reference pages?? I searched everywhere in vain for that... Thanks in

Hello, I use Samba 3 as a PDC. When a user logs in, a user-specific script is executed for him/her, as stated in smb.conf: logon script = %U.bat This is handy when it comes to do some minor tweaks, but can become pain when one have to do bigger changes. Is it possible to execute also a "machine script" (for installing software etc.), and "group script" (users belonging

Hi, On a Fedora box we installed Samba 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3 Accidently we've removed the samba password file. Now, we can't get access to Samba anymore. Is there a way to re-create it ? Or do we have to reinstall Samba ? BTW: We have no backup .... cheers, Andy

I've got an issue with a fresh (and I mean really fresh) 3.0.5 + ldap server where doesn't seem to recognize unix group membership. The server was 2.2.8a last night and things were working. The unix side works flawlessly, in other words if I log in as myself I can get where I need to, but under samba I get nothing. Here's some supporting info: my group membership information:

Hi Jerry/Samba Team I have Samba 3.0.10 installed on Solaris8 server and Samba-client-2.2.10 installed on Linux Red Hat2.1AS servers The Linux servers use Samba to mount filesystems from Solaris8 server.

Hi, we are rolling out a big Samba 2.2.8a installation. I used that version because I succeded in compiling it with Sun Directory Server 5.2 (ldap) libraries without any source modification. We are using "security=server", which is an Active Directory. During our test we get a lot of random "smbd/password.c:server_validate(1102) password server is not connected" (note the

Hello: I have set up a PDC using Samba 3.0.11 with openldap 2.2.23. I have set up a BDC as well (the smb.conf is same as those on PDC except the nebios name as "BDC" and the domain master is set as "no"). Then I try to shut down my PDC to check whether the client login through the BDC. I found that my client (on Window NT) are able to authenticated by BDC, but it keeps

I'm getting a "max file size exceeded" when copying from knoppix 3.3. to RH9 over a samba share when the file gets to be >2G in size. This is samba 3.0.2a on server, 3.0.2-Debian on client. I googled a bit, and the more recent one (2003) directed the user to get a build that was built on their Linux 2.4 system. I installed from an RPM I downloaded for RH9 (3.0.2a), I

Hi, Did this issue get resolved? Can someone tell me how it was resolved and what needs to be done? I am running into the same issue. Thanks, Prakash

I have tried everything that I know of. I have reviewed the services file and the swat file in xinetd.d a tun of times. It appears, via netstat that swat is listening on port 901. However when I attempt to access it via the Mozilla browser on my Fedora server (with 127.0.0.1:901 or localhost:901) nothing happens. It just sits there. However, if I access it via webmin (which has swat stored

Doesn't anyone here know how to authenticate hosts in the group 'Domain Controllers' such that you don't have to set 'ldap admin dn' to the ldap server's root dn? What's the big deal? Why is this such a secret? Everytime I ask about it I get dead silence. It doesn't seem to matter what list I am on either. Jim C. --

Hi, We are migrating from an NT domain to a 2003 AD and using the migration tools to nicely move the users across. However, we have just realized that a user created manually can see a samba 2.0.6 server no worries, but a user that has been migrated using the Migration Tools gets an access denied. Anybody come across this one before? It's probably some bodj work around from
