similar to: Smbpasswd -a USERNAME PASSWORD -- no longer works in samba 3.0.9!!!

Hi the list (again) Got a pretty major issue now Did the samba link to AD on a couple of redhat es3 servers using samba 3.0.14a Everything seems ok Except when I do a getent passwd username Server 3 getent passwd ross ross:x:10006:10000:ross:/home/ACADEMIC/ross:/bin/false Server 2 getent passwd ross ross:x:10006:10000:ross:/home/ACADEMIC/ross:/bin/false Server 1 getent passwd ross

Hi all got a bit of and odd problem with ACL. Ive read up on a few bits in the samba howto and read some threads on here about it. Im not sure if this is a bug, something ive not done, doing wrong etc so anyone that could shed some light on it that would be great. Basically the windows box handles all user account processing and during creating a script for all this it will attempt to change the

Hello Ross, I've got a similar problem since a week with my server. I'm running RH 8.0 on a Xeon 1.4Ghz with 2GB RAM, too. My CPU usage was pretty low (>90% idle) but the CPU load average was at 14. For now I'm waiting for the next time it happens to get some more information. Best regards, Reiner -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Ross McInnes (Systems)

Hi, is there any samba error message? Please make sure that you use the parameter "valid users = REALM<winbind seperator>username".

Hi all, Been having issues trying to get winbind working properly. Basically I need windows Domain controller features such as forcing bad password attempts and group policy etc and use samba as the FileStore. I can kinit nps, I can join the samba machine to the AD (shows up on the windows box too) But when I run wbinfo -u I get ; [root@dev1 bin]# ./wbinfo -u Error looking up domain users

Hi all. I have managed to join my samba server to an AD domain. I can now join using the net command and get various other bits of info. Wbinfo -u /g/t etc works nps Getent however doesn't. This is my question: By reading various emails over the last 2 weeks and various howtos etc In order to share users and passwords etc all I need to do is edit the nsswitch.conf To passwd: compat

Hi, I'm following chapter 3 (from the web-site), and I copied and pasted the smb.conf file. I corrected an error (I think) : passwd chat = *New*... : the "=" was missing and then "*New*..." was on the following line. Then I ran testparm -s, and I got an error : ERROR: the 'passwd program' () requires a '%u' parameter. I seem unable to solve this. Any

Hi, We are having difficulty connecting to a samba server using windows XP pro. Plain text is enabled and we can search for the server on the network, but as soon as we map a drive to it, it asks for a username and password. We enter this and then it asks for a password relating to a guest account. Can anyone help me with why it defaults to the guest account? Regards Phil This message

Hi Ross! All our windows-clients works well with Samba 3.0.14a (WinXP and TS 2003 sp1). Perhaps the changes made for ADS SP1 somehow can affect ADS 2003 (without sp1) in the same way that ADS 2003 sp1 did for our Samba 3.0.9. But that is only a wild guess.

Hi all: I've been developing and testing on a tdm400p card and it's been going well. As you probably know, the tdm400p needs an ide power supply, but the dell poweredge 2600 that this card is destined for eventually has all the power supplied on the backplane with no ide cables. The thing is, on the motherboard in the server, there is an ide ribbon connector, and beside that, something

Hi I am new to the llvm world and I am wondering if there is anyone out there who will be attending the conference this week and would not mind taking a minute or two to talk to me about the two topics above. I am interested in who is providing what kind of support for which flavors of Android and I am also interested in the same question for windows. If you want respond directly to mcinnes at

I've been banging my head into a wall over this one... Yesterday, we had a big fire down the block, so the city chopped the power to our whole block for a few hours, and the Asterisk box didn't shut down properly, just died when the UPS ran out. So I power it back up when I got in, and everything seemed to check out OK, except that when I dialed in to the system, or tried to connect

Hi there. Recently upgraded from 2.2.9 to 3.05 everything is working great except for one small snag. I noticed it when working on the unattended Win2k installation, when it was copying a more than 8 Character Folder. Normally and certainly on 2.2.9 it would truncate the file name say from DellDrivers to DellDr~1 and would still work. However, it was truncating the file name to D1DRER~B (or

Hi, Samba-3 with LDAP backend is capable in this. I'm using it and it works. All you have to do, is to use LDAP and set proper account policies: $ pdbedit -P "bad lockout attempt" -C 5 (after 5 wrong password, user account will be locked out - samba sets password hashes to ***NOPASSWORD*** and user is unable to logon). $ pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 9 # password

For the last year or so i have been having problems in general with samba (various versions) on the same box. Dell 2500 Xeon 1.8 with 2gb of ram running Redhat 8. What will happen from time to time (although its now happened 3 times in the last 5 days, hence this email) is people will be slow to log in, if at all. Several things appear to happen. The main one is that a smbd process which

Dear Colleagues: Through your help an R related installation issue was resolved, but I now have the following usage issue. On any "get.var.ncdf" usage I am seeing: Error: in routine alloca() there is a stack overflow: thread 0, max 535822282KB, used 0KB, request 24B The same error is posted on a file as small as 50MB and as large as 500GB, with ulimit set to unlimited.

The patch below modifies the spec file for FC4 RPM builds as follows: 1.) Build binaries using the -lmcheck option; various samba commands and smbd process crash badly without; see, for example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164353 2.) The Fedora project's samba RPMS install mount.cifs; it would help to have samba.org's RPMS do the same. It would be nice to

Hi all... Im at the stage where: Kinit works Net ads join -U Administrator works (I can see the computer in AD) Net ads user works Wbinfo -u / -g / -t works Getent passwd/group works What I cannot seem to get working is when someone logs onto the domain, and then tries to map a drive to the samba server, its like the credentials arent getting passed onto samba, or rather samba is unable to look

Appologies if this has been asked before, i have searched the archives and while there are some almost related issues, none really answer my question/problem. Recently (about 4 months ago) we purchased a new Dell 2600 (2.0Ghz Xeon 2GB Ram), Machine (single cpu) and migrated the data and system from rh 6.2 to 8 on this new server. By migrate i mean Installed rh8 fresh and moved the user data
