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:

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

OK, I've downloaded and installed the driver (pxljr-1.1-1.i386.rpm), and the ppd file (HP-Color_LaserJet_3550-pxljr.ppd) in /etc/cups/ppd. Now I'm trying to set up the printer, connected to the network via a JetDirect printer server at location 192.168.0.200. Trouble is, I'm really not sure about all the settings in Printer Configuration - specifically, what should the Device URI be -

In short this is the problem. The XP Home machine called "misty" cannot see any other machines. It cannot see the Linux machines and it cannot see the XP Home machines or the XP Pro machine. In spite of this blindness it can map to all the XP machines and define so-called network places. But "misty" cannot map through the SAMBA protocal used by the Linux machines to make

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

Upgraded from RedHat 9 to CentOS 4.4 - disappointed to find there is still no printer support for HP Color Laserjet 3500 - any suggestions please? Thanks, Andy

I've upgraded successfully to 3.0.6 finally. As part of that upgrade, I configured the print$ share and installed the printer drivers into it. I've been using the Laserjet 4 Plus driver with great success. However, when I configured the printer to use this driver stored on the server, everything printed fine except for Excel documents! Excel gives the error in "print

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 |___

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:

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

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

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 a very good query related to printer sharing using samba. Following is the scenario... I had installed HP laserjet 9040Dn printer on redhat Enterprise linux 5. Shared it using samba. Used winbind protocol to integrate linux with windows AD 2003. Now i am able to see printer in Active directory as well as linux computer account in AD. But unable to set option lpadmin -p printer

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

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

I've also posted this message to the lprng list, but as I'm currently not sure where the problem lies, I'm posting it here too in the hope that someone has a clue..... I have recently installed a printer accounting system on my systems, and changed the print model for some of my users. In most cases, this has been fine, but users who are using HP Laserjet 4 printers are experiencing

I don't know which software to blame. Two of my Windows XP users get an extra page of output every time they print to our HP 8500 color laserjet. The driver is in print$ on the server. I do not believe that _all_ of the XP users are having the problem, which is strange. But it's wasting a lot of paper and they are complaining. If it's SAMBA do you guys have any ideas how I

Hello all Sorry for posting my query here, but did not have any success in getting feedback from linuxprinting.org/ openprinting.org forums. Planning to buy a new colour MFD or a Mono MFD & a Colour printer, for small buisiness office use. Could someone give feedback on HP Laserjet MFD M3027x and Laserjet 2840? Do all functions provided by the printers work on Linux? Any kinks? Do

Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba
