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

Hi all, I've got a share called [ACCOUNTING] with the following share definition: [ACCOUNTING] path = /data/samba/shares/Accounting valid users = @acct @"Domain Admins" browseable = yes public = no read only = no force group = acct Here is the permissions on the directory: oink:/data/samba/shares # ls -ld /data/samba/shares/Accounting drwxrwxr-x 9 root acct 4096 Nov 29 09:30

Hi all, I have been fishing through the archives and have not found a lot of posts about this that were not 'golden oldies.' Do you guys use anything other than brute force to deploy software and updates to your client PCs? I would be interested to know what you are using, whether you use it for initial OS install, software deployment/upgrades, or other things, and roughly how much

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

Hi all, One of my very last users to move from the Novell server to the Samba domain runs some applications using Rbase version 2! Yes, we are trying to get away from it but it is taking some time. Anyway he had local administrator on his machine and the applications worked fine. Now no matter if he has administrator or not, he gets NTVDM errors. If I try to play around with the memory

<rant>Every time I set up a new test Samba server, the step to "net rpc rights grant..." ALWAYS fights me tooth and nail... ALWAYS with a different error message. I've even created little scripts to run so I am not typing commands incorrectly... but NNNOOOOOO, the script to grand rights to one stink'n account always has to complain!</rant> OK, this time it is...

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

man smb.conf does not specifically say admin users supports @groupname syntax. Google turns up lots of examples of it being used, but everyone hanging their smb.conf's up to air does not mean they are 100% accurate either. Here, Samba 3.0.4 in PDC mode, I can not get it to accept the name of a group in /etc/group, user ID's only. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper

Is there a trick to append an additional directory level onto the defauly behavior of a [homes] share looking in /etc/passwd to find the users Linux home dir? It would offer a bit of protection if Windows clients ended up in say the WinHome directory within their Linux home directory when logging in from Windows so they are not tempted to tamper with their desktop settings files for Linux from

I have a share which a group write list. That group is mapped to a Linux group in /etc/group. That group in Linux has two users. The first user listed is suddenly unable to write, but the second one is. With the affected user logged in to Win2K, ifmember /list shows they are a member of the group, as does the working account. I am guessing one of those .tdb files or something got scrambled on the

Hello, i updated my samba to version 3.0.20 on a suse 9.2 system. I thought, some new net rpc commands need samba 3.0.13. But I get faults with the command: amd:~ # net rpc rights grant testuser10 SeMachineAccountPrivilege [2005/08/25 02:45:35, 0] param/loadparm.c:map_parameter(2536) Unknown parameter encountered: "enables privileges" [2005/08/25 02:45:35, 0]

I see that the w32time service as it is configured when a Win2K Pro client joins a Samba PDC Domain is not configured in such a way that the service is able to successfully sync time with Samba. I:\>w32tm -source -v W32Time: BEGIN:InitAdjIncr W32Time: Adj 100144 , Incr 100144 fAdjust 0 W32Time: END:Line 2503 W32Time: BEGIN:TsUpTheThread W32Time: END Line 1407 W32Time: TimeMMInit()

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

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, Is there a locking problem with version 3.0.2a? We have been running this version over the past several weeks with no problems, but over the past few days have been experiencing horrendous apparently random problems with Outlook, Printing and Excel. Outlook fails with the error "folder being modified by another workstation" Excel gives "disk full" errors Printing stops

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 |___

I am logged into a new test Linux server with my personal admin account. It is a member of a Linux group which has been mapped to Domain Admins. When I issue 'net rpc rights grant auserid SeMachineAccountPrivilege' and enter the password for my personal admin account, I am returned that it failed with NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_PRIVILEGE. 'auserid' is both a Linux account and has been

Hello world, I have a very strange update problem: this night I upgraded from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 (debian unstable) and the system broke completely with very strange errors (I did not change anything to smb.conf) - win98 users can log in, copy and everything - xp users can log in, they see the shares but they cannot access the files (read error in xp). I have tested it with Xp-Prof SP1 und SP2

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:
