Hi! How do you guys solve windows security updates? Is there a way to force windows computers to be updated. Even more flexible is if one can update windows through login script.

Hiya, I have recently upgrade samba to 3.0.1pre1 from alpha3-19. The upgrade went well with no real problems, except ..... I have noticed today that the load on the LDAP server is extremely high. CPU usage on slapd is anywhere between 10%-80%. At one point to day everything came to a grinding halt. The only difference between I can think of is the samba upgrade. This is with an average load of

Hello there, I have a samba PDC 3.0.0 running ok, but I had turned on the option "Time Server" in smb.conf, to synchronize the workstations time with server. But the workstations synchronize 1 hour less than it is. I think that the workstations isn?t considering the daylight saving time. I?m using the command: net time \\server /set /yes Thank?s, []?s Tercio

One of my users complained that his Win2kSP2 complains that his password Is going to expire in 8 days. A while ago we changed from Win2k domain to a Samba 2.2.3a controlled domain. How do I disable the password expiration? I read the man pages and searched Google but couldn't find any hints about the issue. It almos seems like this expiration thing should not be happening at all...?

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book

So far, so good with 1.9.18p1 on HPUX 10.20 (kudos to the Samba team!). However, I've got a question.... I'd like to be able to restrict access to some of our services, and can certainly do so with the "hosts allow = " entry in smb.conf - it does exactly what I want. But... I plan on bringing Samba up on a few campus hosts, some of which have more extensive listings of PCs I

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ? Other solutions ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski perl -e '$_=q#: 13_2: 12/o{>: 8_4) (_4: 6/2^-2; 3;-2^\2: 5/7\_/\7: 12m m::#;

All, I currently have a problem where the default user profile is not being picked up - Windows simply ingores it and creates one based on local settings. I understand samba supports default user profiles, and one can be put into the profiles share like this: /export/profiles/Default User/ This directory contains a copy of a working profile from a proper user. The relevant smb.conf sections

Hiya, I want to stop students from writing .bat .exe .com .jar etc files to their w drives but allow staff to do so. I have the normal homes share in the smb.conf file. I decided to put the parameter include = /usr/local/samba/lib/%G_smb.conf I have a staff_smb.conf and a students_smb.conf file. In these files it has just the homes share in it. The only difference is in the students file it

Hi, A weird problem ... My PDC is running samba 3.0 cvs from a couple of weeks ago. the os level is set to 65 and that machine has been the master for my domain for ages, until last night. A win2k client machine stoll the domain and made itself the master for the domain, hence a few problems. I have cranked the os level to 80, however I'm pretty sure that is not supported/a bad idea/not to be

Hi, I've posted this question before, but i'm still scratching my head. I've got a samba 3 cvs server with an ldap backend. When I do a search for users in a group either by net group <group> /domain or in user manager it returns access denied When I look at the logs on the server samba is searching for (uid=<group>(objectclass=sambaAccount)). The samba schema does not

Hello there! I am really frustrated. I try to get samba printer share to work since like 4 days now. No luck yet. Here is my problem: Windows 2000 can connect to a shared printer, but when it comes to printing I fail. Is samba able to print with cups? (I installed the printer with cups and there it works great.) How can i find out which print command I need to use? I tried playing with lpr on

Hello, I have Samba 3 PDC and win2k sp4 client. I would like to install printer on a machine globally, for all users.

Hi, I've looked though the archives but i've only found stuff on smbfs. What is the deal with the 2GB limit. I have a NT box do a backup though windows backup to a samba share (samba 2.2.5 on SUSE 7.1 kernel 2.4.18). When it gets to 2GB it stops and won't go any further. Is this a problem with samba, windows or the kernel??. Cheers -------------- Kristyan Osborne - IT

Hi, You can use the command net rpc shutdown -S <machine name> to remotly shutdown a PC. Is it possible to, or could it possibly be a future upgrade to have a comma separated list of machines so that you can shutdown several machines at one time. Ie at the end of the day to shutdown PC's in a particular classroom? What are your thoughts?? Cheers ----------------- Kristyan

Hi, I have a samba 3.0 current CVS from 01/08 running with ldap as the backend. It been working fine for the past few week until late last week. I can join a machine to the domain and I get an entry in ldap one in ou=computers and one in ou=users (as normal). Everything looks fine until you try to login to the win2k box. When you hit enter after typing in username + passwd you get an error
