I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:

OK, I just took my first non-root user live on my Samba 3.0.7 system. Printing is via cups, with drivers stored in the print$ share. This user is a local power user. She can add printers, or root can add them. Root can also print from them. If this user tries to print anything (a test page even) she gets a non-verbose error that looks like a permissions error. She can view the queues

Hi all, I have set up a printer in cups and I can see it with lpstat -a, and I can print to it. I put what I thought was the appropriate stuff in smb.conf, and yet no printer shows up to the NT client I'm testing with, or in smbclient -L output. Any ideas at all? Here is the relevant info: ### smb.conf excerpts ### [global] ... printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache

Hi, I'm a relatively new Samba user and this is my problem. I have gone through all of the DIAGNOSIS.txt and only get errors in Test 8 and 9. They repeatedly give me the same error i get when i try and access my samba server and that is "The account is not authorized to log in from this station" My computer is part of a domain if you need to know that. This is my smb.conf file

Hi, I am trying to validate a numeric value passed in from a form, which is saved in a MySQL db as decimal(9,2) Now problem is I need to ensure people don''t enter a form value like -. 003. In my validations, I have a validates_numericality_of check being done. Furthermore, in validate method, I have a check using an if statement such as : ((an_object[n].nil? or an_object[n] < 0) and

Grasping at straws here...is anyone using a Dell PowerConnect 2224 24-port unmanaged 10/100 switch in a deployment? I have two separate asterisk installations with bad one-way audio where the only common elements left are the Dell switches and Polycom IP-500 phones. Two different ITSPs - one location uses IAX2 to the outside world, the other SIP. Two different bandwidth providers, one SDSL 1.5

Hello everybody! I should have an error on the LDAP entries of my ldapSAM, but I've read several times chapters 11 & 12 of the Samba HOWTO Collection and I cannot fix it. Let's explain: I've got a StandAlone fileserver (not PDC) samba-3.0.4 with ldapSAM working on a RedHat Enterprise 3.0 (linux kernel 2.4.25). The directory server version shouldn't be important, but

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb. Just compiled 3.0.8 on the new server (which has the same hostname), copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/lib and copied th secrets.tdb to /usr/local/samba/private. Started Samba, did 'net getlocalsid' and it

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

Hi, I've just moved a second Samba domain to LDAP -- it works great! However, the first domain is now dead in the water. It refuses to autenticate, and from the logs it looks like it's not find the SambaDomainName entry in the LDAP tree. Here is a diagram of how my LDAP tree is set up. dc=mycompany,dc=com |___ ou=computers |___ ou=people |___ ou=groups |___ sambaDomain=domain1 |___

Hi all, i have ACLs working fine on my PDC, but they do not work on a member server. Here is a summary of my set-up: I am using LDAP backend, with nss_ldap on all of my member servers. Samba 3.0.12pre1 on the PDC and Samba 3.0.14a on the member server. I have winbindd running on my member server, and it is pointing at LDAP as its backend. ?wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g both work. I am using

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who

Hello, I am experiencing a strange behaviour that I think might be a bug. I was advised to consult the mailing list instead of trying to file a bug, so here it is. I have a user `kate` which is both a member of a `family` group and a `feddkate` group. There is a share called `FeddAndKate` which I what to be accessible to the `feddkate` group but not to a `family` group, and I've set up

Hi all, I have been working on this for days to no avail. I am unable to join any machine to my domain. I think the server's machine password got corrupted but don't know how to change it. From the PDC, I try: oink:/usr/local/src/samba-3.0.12/source # net join PDC Password: Could not connect to server CORPSRV The username or password was not correct. From a member server, I try:

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

When I used smbldap-populate way back when I set up my LDAP server, I got two sambaDomainName objects in my LDAP tree -- one for the domain name (CORP) and one for the PDC Netbios name (CORPSRV). My Windows XP systems complain that they can't find the PDC for the domain CORPSRV. I am wondering if I even need the second sambaDomainName in LDAP at all. Any ideas? Misty

I as sending this again in the hopes that someone will respond. Surely I am not the only one with this setup.

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as
