All, First off I would like to say the book "The Official Samba-3 HowTO and Reference Guide" is awesome I purchased it off Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Ok now on to my problem. I have samba installed and configured and joined the domain no problem. When I run wbinfo -u I can see my domain users, when I run wbinfo -g I can see all my domain groups, BUT if I run

Hi, I have the following directory shared for the user "pcbadmin". He/she can mount and read/write without any difficulty: [pcbdata] comment = PCB Design Files path = /home/pcbadmin/pcbdata valid users = pcbadmin public = no writable = yes Question: How can I make the same directory only readable by the rest of the users ? TIA, Ben

Hi: My english is very bad but I will try to explain that it We need. We work at Library of Ministry of Economy. We use one Linux Server with Samba 3.07 (mainly it has data files, CDS/ISIS databases and It application (from Unesco)). Right now, the administrator are Information System's people from Ministry.We need in some case not only to track what user are connected and what files they are

Dear List, while debugging the problem that users cant change file acls from windows clients, I found out that Samba (ver- sion 3.0.13 on debian sarge) tries to look up the SID (of the user who should be added to the acl) as a sambaGroupMapping in the LDAP. Does anybody can tell me: - why samba tries to match a SID of a user as a GroupMapping? This will never work as a user can never be a

Hi, I am using Samba 3.0.10 PDC with LDAP as password DB. Before we use smbpasswd as passwd DB and every time I need to add a machine account into /etc/passwd so that the mahcine can join the domain. My understanding for LDAP is, this step is not needed any more since we will put all machine account into "ou=Computers". But I am proved to be wrong. Is this the way Samba works? I

Sun has changed the organization of their web site a lot over the years, and I just noticed that a URL included in the HOWTO is broken now. Perhaps there are others as well. In section 39.6.2 "Winbind on Solaris 9" (p. 503), Solaris 9 users are directed to download a patch from the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112960;rev=14 But the Sun

Hi, Say if there are DomainX and DomainY, both are not in trusted relationship. Can a Samba server join both DomainX and DomainY? I can't find any related information on Internet. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks! Yimin

We are running scripts using smbclient to get some data of NetAPP filer and we run into the output below. After doing some digging, I found that there is a incompatibility between NetAPP Data ONTAP OS and samba. Is this still the case or there is a fix for it. We are running 3.0.10 Any ideas would be great George Client started (version 3.0.10). Connecting to 169.177.18.109 at port 445

Hi all, I just replaced a client's SUSE 8.0/Samba 2.2 DC with a SUSE 9.2/Samba 3.0.9 DC. Drives were giving trouble, and since that box was a first attempt at a linux DC there was a lot of room for improvement. I copied the profiles and home directories over to the new machine, chowned them to the new users. I also did extracted the securid from the old DC and set it to the new one

John, The restrictanonymous setting was the primary culprit in Ash's issue. I think he's using basically the same setup as I am; no winbind/LDAP involved. I'm thinking there's some initial handshaking that requires an anonymous connection to PDC, and it's being blocked if the restrictanonymous setting is too high. I sent a note to Ash (& the list) asking for the

Hi all, I hoping someone out there might be able to tell my how to configure and Samba box to be a PDC and BDC for a windows network? I'd like to use the LDAP backend, but and too new to the Unix world to understand how this is accomplished. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Charlie

Hi! Please, can i use Samba like BDC in my network? thanks, Avellar

I moved an old smb system (version 2) over to a completely new system with version 3.0.7 running on FC2. I just copied the config files over and then ran swat and adjusted any problems that I found. Then save the swat config and started the smb server. Gosh be Good! It worked just fine. But... I stared noticing entries like these in the logs:

Hello! I've got users that access linux file server from Win stations using Samba and winbind authentication but also have AIX based workstations accessing the same server using nis authentication. They have the same username registered in NIS domain and in Windows domain. Is it possible to map winbind users (usually using uid & gid > 10000) to nis users, so user john

Hello, i'm new in the list so hi everybody! I think that this question could be asked many times, is possible make Samba act as ADS server? Maybe with the Samba-TNG fork or with some CVS version?

Mates, I'm trying to learn a little more. I have 3.0.7 running on Mandrake 7.2. I could see all the shares, but couldn't access the files "sendfile failed". I set use sendfile = No and all is well. I have a separate system Suse 9.0 pro with use sendfile = yes and I have no problems. What is the difference??? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN * BERTIN, PLLC 510 Ochiltree

Hi Folks, Got Samba 3.0.7,1 running on FreeBSD--yippee! One thing that I noticed is that when a Windows user clicks on his folder named something like 'username', there are a bunch of files there that he might 'accidently' delete: .cshrc .login .login_conf .mail_aliases .mailrc .profile .rhosts .shrc Is there some way to automatically log on the user to folder just below

I am not able to view shares on the Samba server, although I can 'see' the server with the 'net view' command. Entering 'net view sambaserver' results in network path not found. Interestingly, when I boot the same server into Windows XP (it's dual boot), I can view the server and it's shares from the Windows XP home client that cannot view the shares on the
