Can anyone share any insight as to why Vista RC2 can't delete directories on a Samba 3.0.10 share? No problem delete directories using a windows XP client. Thank you. Greg -- Greg J. Zartman, P.E.

Additional Info... I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what I am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course, it also mentions the name of the PDC. If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done. However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC. With a Samba BDC, should I leave the

Hi all, I'm not yet a "100 % Samba Guru" and I'd very much appreciate feedback of some guru's out there regarding the following: Our team started trials with Samba 2.2.5 on Red Hat AS using OpenLDAP technologies and a LDAP backend keeping Samba's "SAM data". Ideally we want to kick out as much of Microsoft's server infrastructure as possible - means

Is it possible to use the Windows security on a Samba share which resides on a Unix server which is a MEMBER of a W2K domain ?? I am unable to make the unix server a PDC due to restrictions in the company. I have 27 users with different accesses to the same directories/files and I am trying to avoid a monster smb.conf file. I am running 2.2.5 on an HPUX 11 w/o winbind (users have unix access,

I'm using a Linux workstation in an NT domain environment. I ran into a problem today where my NT password had expired and I could no longer use any services (e.g., Outlook). I found the domain controller host and attempted to use smbpasswd -r <host> to change the password, however it simply returned NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_EXPIRED (duh!). After trying for a couple hours to change the

I work for IBM and our developers have used jCIFS 0.8.2 in our product. We are now going through legal approval and have some questions. If people submit code changes to your product, do you find out if the submitter has the right to distribute the code? If so, do they need to sign any kind of statement? I couldn't find version 0.8.2 on your web site. The legal question is

Hi, I have been trying to connect to Samba over the Internet as I have static IP that is publicly available for connection. I can use this IP to connect to our Intranet web site but Samba doesn't work correctly when trying to connect to it from outside. Our internal network addresses work fine. Even a VPN connection, which gets our internal address scheme works. But, when trying to use

I'm working to setup Samba as a domain member to a Windows Server active directory, and I keep hitting road blocks. There's some real terminology hurdles in the wiki. In a nutshell, my problem is this: I setup a Windows 2012 Essentials ADS domain and I ended up with zartman.local for my "domain" in Windows. So, I've got a dns zone in windows server that is domain.local

I'm playing around with Domain Membership to a WIndows 2012 AD Server. It appears I'm able to join the AD domain, but the domain member doesn't seem to authenticate anything against the DC once joined. Here is my smb.conf netbios name = Member workgroup = ZARTMAN security = ADS realm = ZARTMAN.LOCAL dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab kerberos method = secrets and

Is there a package to do the opposite of Samba? I.e.

Hello list, I was just wondering if anyone is using anti-virus software on their Samba server. I have protection on my clients, but I want to run software on the server too. I've looked at McAfee's Virus Scan, but as far as I can tell, it only uses "on-demand" scanning, meaning I have to trigger it from the command line, or run a cron job. I would like to have

I'm workign to setup Samba4 and my current centos server deployment uses TinyDNS/DNSCache for the DNS. Understanding that it is best to use Sambas internal DNS for AD, I'm wondering how others are doing DNS? I really don't want to use BIND. Should my DHCP server send ddns updates to Samba's internal DNS for client leases? Thanks, -- Greg J. Zartman Board Member Koozali

When you first provision an AD DC, is there a way to control where samba-tool puts all of the AD data files? -- Greg J. Zartman Board Member Koozali Foundation, Inc. 2755 19th Street SE Salem, Oregon 97302 Cell: 541-5218449 SME Server user and community member since 2000

Does anyone know what Red Hat/Centos is going with Samba 4? I've looked at their packages in COS 6.5 and 7 and it doesn't make sense. They seems to be doing some kind of watered down or modified version of Samba 4 with some of the tools disabled. Are they still holding off from full AD implementation in their packages because of the MIT Kerberos issues identified in previous

I'm working with the Centos 7 packages for Samba 4.2.10 and I note that the stock packages don't include the ldb tools (eg, ldbmodify, ldbsearch, etc). I did find a stand along centos package that contains these tools from here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LDB However, the stand along tools don't seem to be aware of the Active Directory schema. For example, if I try to use

I'm working on building some perl code to query a Samba AD and list various things. I'm wondering if there is something like samba-tool for query user from the AD other than just the username? I see that I can use and LDAP perl module to query the LDAP side of the AD, but wanted to see if Samba has a utility for doing this. Thanks! -- Greg J. Zartman Board Member Koozali Foundation,

I'm wanting to change group members by writing to the Active Directory using perl Net::LDAP. I noticed that AD groups have the LDAP objects "member" to list the user who is a member of this group. The user object then has the LDAP object "memberOf" to record the groups the user is a member of. I'm wondering if their is a mechanism in Samba AD that sets on of these if

What is the best way to store file system quotas for users in the Active Directory? I'm not seeing any standard attributes for this, so it looks like the best way is to extend the schema.
