Last week I was building a new box for a user and am converting this same user to a domain profile at the same time. I have found that the user's romaining profile is not being created on the samba server. The user

Morning, I have three machines, two xp and one win2k, that join the samba pdc fine. I have tried to join others to this same samba pdc using the same accounts for authentication without success.

Morning, This weekend I attempted an upgrade of my primary samba server from 3.0.24 to 3.3.3. When testing this primary server after the upgrade I had a few issues, so rolled back the upgrade until I can find solutions. This server also has the OpenLDAP server local to and co-located with samba. The two things that initially didn't seem right are that each time I logged into a windows XP box

Hi! I have the following problem: winbindd getgrnam/getpwnam/lookupname calls do not return for a long time (> 30 seconds) which is obviously quite annoying to the users. This usually happens at the "first" login, i.e. subsequent connections are not delayed until a (probably cache) timeout. I've failed to determine who is responsible for the caching yet. I'll provide

Hi I have the following question: Joining Win200x as ADS/DOMAIN, I see no problems for windows users to get authenticated even if they don't have local accounts. However, with the same samba (3.06) joining NT4 SP6 domain I see that only users that also have entry in /etc/passwd are been authenticated. I followed winbindd traces and saw that there is no problem communicating with

Dear Sirs, How does samba handle "read only" attribute ? I can map archive and hidden files using smb.conf, but there's nothing on mapping read-only files. files/folders are created 770 (user and group writeable), but Windows shows those files as read-only. Cheers, Ilia Chipitsine
