I've to migrate a NT4 PDC to an samba PDC (running samba 3.0.0beta2 on a debian/GNU/linux box). Samba is already setup and working as a BDC. When I try to perform: net rpc vampire -S PDC all existing userSIDs are put into samba's 'passwd.tdb'. The problem is now, how to get a working userSID <-> UID mapping: The existing userSID have RID parts in the range of

Hi all, We have an old 3.0.7 samba running as PDC. As we have problems with XP64 clients accessing the domain, I compiled a 3.0.23c and copied the smb.conf. Some of the client work well with the new Samba, but most of them do not. Was there any relevant change in the smb.conf part between the two versions? Thanks Bgs

Hi, I try to install my linux as PDC. I followed the samba project documentation and some other doc. My samba is 3.0.0 alpha2.4 My smb.conf is with the user securrity, domain logons etc... Just like it should be I added the computername with the "$" sign Added the computername in smbpasswd but when i try to connect with my win2000 workstation i get "unknown user name or bad

Dear Listmembers, I am using a SPARC ULTRA 60 / running SuSE sparc linux 7.3 as server for our M$-Network. I recently installed samba-2.2.8a from SuSE (compiled src-rpm), since then I am facing problems when attaching to the server for certain users given specific conditions. When saying reconnect at login, the reconnect at login fails, whereas the connect during normal operation (by using

Hello we're using samba based on the debian-package, which we translated including the configure-option "--with-quotas" The user-interaction with quotas is OK, in his (the users) view the partition-size is limited to his quota-hard-limit. This works both with XFS and EXT3. Windows (XP SP1 and SP2) administration of quota is not possible. Using 3.0.5 I can do a

I have a Sparc Ultra-2 running Solaris 2.7 and Samba version 2.0.5 Most of the time everything works fine, Win95 & WinNT users connect to Samba shares and work. Occasionally, users report not being able to view the Samba server in which case I have them map a drive manually or do a "find computer". There are times when this does not work. I take a look at the logs

Dear samba-users We are experiencing some rather long logon times using SAMBA 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze + Windows 7 and while trying to find out why we raised the loglevel to 5 resulting in a rather large logfile. But this did give us a hint as to why we experience so long logon times. It seems that samba is going through the whole user-database with all usernames and machine-accounts. Eventually

Hi all I am sure that there is some mention of this error in the docs somewhere but I could not find it. So, sorry for repeating it here. I have installed samba 2.0.3 on solaris 2.5.1 I carried out all the tests described in the documentation. They were all successful. Bu from an NT server I can't do this net use z: \\server_name\\tmp System error 86 has occurred The specified network

I have upgrade the pdc server from debian sarge to etch. After this operation we can't login to the domain (client windows 2000 & XP) smbclient works fine and from a windows local account I can browser the samba directories too (puttin username and password before..) I use tdbsam of course and pdbedit -L let me see all the accounts, it seems to work fine I tried to remove a pc from

Ive just discovered that my previous email is wrong - the password sync does in fact work under Solaris fine. What is happening however is that when I create a new account, and call smbpasswd $user as root, it only updates the SMB password and not the Unix password as well. I though I could change my call to /bin/passwd in my new user creation scrip with /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a, but as

Hi all, I've just set up password encryption using 1.9.18p4. I compiled with NO ALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD option because compilation didn't work (I'm using HP-UX 10.20). Everything seems to be working correctly instead of a 'normal' user trying to change his (samba-) password using smbpasswd (root can change any password). The messages I receive are as follows: Old SMB password:

help!....im really confused, ... i created the user "Stealth" on my Linux redhat 7.3 machine and when i configure my smb.conf file, for path = /home/Stealth, the machine would show up in "Computers Near Me" on my other windoez 2000 machine, but would not accept any passwords to the [share], when i run smbpasswd -a Stealth i get this......... getsmbfilepwent: malformed

Hello again, I'm trying to move all my users from an old Samba server to a new Samba AD server. When I try to do a 'classicupgrade' the process crashes after a while without giving me a clear indication of what is going wrong. When I try to export the users using pdbedit -e smbpasswd , some of the accounts simply fail. If I look at the output I see something like: Processing

Hi All, I've the following in the logs and am wondering why they are there. I also keep getting emails from SAMBA log-deamon (or something like that).

Debian Lenny Samba 3.2.3 LOOX N560 with Windows Mobile 5 Hello, ?my PDA LOOX N560 could connect via WLAN to SAMBA under Etch. Meanwhile I upgraded to Debian Lenny and now may PDA cannot connect anymore to the server. Error 1223 or 1222. Connecting to XP-Clients via WLAN is okay. Connecting to Samba Wireshark tells me: malformed packet: No. ? ? Time ? ? ? ?Source ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Ok folks, Here is the deal. I have posted to the news groups several times and gotten not a single thing. I have been trying since march to get 2.2.8a working on sol2.5.1 with winbind to do the authentication but it has failed miserably. Winbindd starts but fails to create the /tmp/.winbindd/pipe file and bombs like a daisycutter. But if I run winbindd like this " truss -aefo /tmp/file

Prior to upgrading from RH7.0 to RH7.3 our Samba filserver worked perfectly. Now we are having locking problems. Initially Iused the same samba binaries built on RH70, I tried rebuilding Samba and reinstalling but it had no effect. If user bon opens an M$-Office file they frequently get a 'file is already in use by bob'. Sure enough smbstatus -L shows the file locked by bob, but bob

Hi Folks, I got a little problem with authentication. I set up samba 3.0.0 and squid 2.5stable4, using winbind to authenticate users via group with the nt4 domain pdc. Anyway... sometimes the authorization/authentication doesn't work. In the first test I had no problems surfing the net via proxy, and some minutes later I get an access denied message with the same user... so this is this a
