Hello fellow list members, does anyone knows of a good HOWTO (or a book) for setting up Samba as a PDC? I have been dealing around with the Samba HOWTO collection, but to be honest, this is a hard job. There are some errors in it and descriptions are not this good. I even don't know what all the tools are for. I'm really experienced in Linux server stuff, but this one drives me mad.

Hey all... I am trying to connect to a Epson FX-85 24-pin printer on my file/print/samba server. I am running SuSE 9.1/Samba 3.0.2a with CUPS as the print spool. When I try to connect to the printer from W2K land, I get this error: "Permission denied" I am at a loss as to where to look (sorry I dont have my smb.conf file posted. I am away from home for a couple of days). ALl else

Dear SMB-Gurus, I have a problem using a network-printer on a samba server with from a windows2000-computer. The printer is a raw-queue on cups. From any other computers I can use the printer nearly without problems except the printing queue in windows is not accessible (Permission denied...). Whenever I try to send a e.g. word-document to te printer, word exits emidiately without giving an

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]

Hi list, After reading a lot in the mailing list and the official Samba 3 howto, i am still unable to give domain admin rights to a user, so that he gets admin rights on all workstations in the domain. Here is what i have: - Samba 3.08 PDC, config: [global] workgroup = ANT netbios name = ANTSRV netbios aliases = RUN KITS HOMES LIB PRINTERS server string = ANT Samba

In the samba domain I admin, one of the computers runs the Peachtree accounting software. Today, McAfee antivirus was installed on that box (not my doing) and now Peachtree keeps giving "Locking table limit reached" errors. Is this an error from samba, Windows, or Peachtree? Is there a limit to the number of file locks samba can grant at one time? -- Andrew Gaffney Network

Samba 3.0.5 Debian Package Kernel 2.6.7 custom compile on Debian Testing Configure Samba per my KLUG presentation on Samba PDC to Win2K Clients: ftp://ftp.lueckdatasystems.com/pub/presentations/klugsamba3pdc-bookreview.pdf In the error condition, a user account is assigned to the domadmin and ntadmin Linux groups. In smb.conf -> admin users = @domadmin On the workstation there are mappings

Greetings- I have not found discussed / documented what to do with machine accounts when moving a Samba PDC to new hardware. I have seen that uid/gid numbers must match between the old/new system. I am thinking to use adduser to accomplish that, then make the numbers on the new server match, using a text editor. After that, can I simply enter the machine account entries by hand with a text

Greetings- I am wondering if anyone from the Samba team would happen to have interest in creating official builds for Ubuntu? To add a twist, unfortunately I would not be fishing for 7.10 packages, but rather 7.04 as we ran into too many issues with 7.10 whereas 7.04 seems rock solid stable. Or, are there packages built of Samba releases for Ubuntu external to samba.org? Thanks, -- Michael

I have a Debian server running samba 2.2.3. We are running Peachtree 2002 (version 9) and we have issues with the data being on the server. First, during the install, Peachtree says that our server doesn't handle long file names. Obviously it does, but we have to install it by acting like the data is on the local machine and then changing the .ini file to point the data directory to the

Dear all I have install samba + ldap and it is successfully joing the domain but problem is when i login in XP machine with Administrator account of samba i cannot change anything in XP even not system time so is it problem of privileges ?? $ cat ~/satish/url.txt http://www.linuxbug.org

We have bumped into a most odd problem. Server: Debian Etch and their Samba 3.0.24-2 Client: WinXP SP2, MSI v3, all hot fixes The following settings are in place on the server: #!/bin/bash # # initGrps.sh # Map Windows Domain Groups to UNIX groups net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin rid=512 type=d net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users"

Long day yesterday for us here, first production implementation of Samba has to be rolled out and the client's old network reinstalled... cause: this "access deneied" issue which seems to be randomly affecting Samba implementations and from what I can see folks say Samba 3.0.2 was the last good build. If that describes you, please test this as I have come up with a way to turn the

<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...

Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's. I mount several shares with this sort of syntax: /bin/mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/userid/.smbcredentials,uid=userid,gid=userid,dmask=0777,fmask=0666 //ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/ However when I create new files/dirs on the Samba share from the Linux workstation, the perms are not 0666/0777

I am somewhat confused... I understand that the preferred method to mount a Samba share with a Linux client is to use "mount -t cifs" rather than "mount -t smbfs". I get the impression that smbfs is samba.org developed code where as cifs is from elsewhere. Thus the point of confusion. Why is samba.org not developing the preferred code in this case? A sub question to that

One of the servers we admin has countless such errors in log.smbd: [2007/05/07 14:17:08, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(783) tdb(/var/cache/samba/printing/HPLJ3600.tdb): rec_read bad magic 0x443810ec at offset=28412 The only thread I saw regarding "rec_read" stated: <><><><><> If this really happens often to you, then you have some basic problems with your

Recent list messages got me thinking... Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain? As I understand it, the "magic" line that tells Samba not to do roaming profiles is the smb.conf line: logon path = Which the line must exist, and must be set to null. But that is in the global section. So is there a way to support both local and roaming...

I am testing out Debian Etch, and ran into an issue granting SeMachineAccountPrivilege to an account... which granting that permission had been troublesome in the past. The command I am issuing is: net rpc rights grant LDS-DEMO\\ldsinst SeMachineAccountPrivilege And I try running the command with an account that is a member of the "Domain Admins" group. The command returns: Failed to

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
