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'm running samba version 3.0.2 on a Mac OS X Panther server and am experiencing problems when I have users log in and have their login drive mounted for them. The server is a PDC and when a user authenticates it maps the drive but the underlying folders are not accessible bye the user who is logged in. It says access denied. It seems to create a Virtual Share Point on the PDC,

I'm looking for help configuring Samba-3 to allow me to share out home directories from a UNIX host to Windows XP clients so that my Windows domain users can read and write to their home directories on the UNIX host. I've attempted to follow the examples in "Samba-3 by Example" to no success. I've also followed the tutorial: http://bob.rasey.net/archives/000137.html, which

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

<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...

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

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 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

Is it possible using scriptaculous/prototype to watch out for any happening Ajax activity, and do something like show/hide a spinner gif to indicate to the user that there is activity taking place in the backgound?

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.

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

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

Hi, Excuse in advance my poor english. After installing two new servers debian buster with samba 4.9.4 , one as AD ,the second as a fileserver, I was stuck when i tried to connect my users. On a Win10 client , i had the message "windows could not connect to user profile service". The only clue i had was in the event viewer, errors concerning svchost.exe_ProfSvc. After digging

Hi Need to setup netbios alias on a server. When users connect to sunone they reach home and some other shares. suntwo is a archive share. I can't authenticate against the pdc on sunone and suntwo. Ask for user/passwd on each netbios alias. Connecting to sun10 works. If i switch to shared on security and guest ok this setup works. When connecting to the aliases i get:

I''m using the autocomplete function, and need a way to grab a second value from the ajax request... an example would probably speak better: This is my HTML: <input name="CustomerName" id="CustomerName" type="text" /> <div id="CustomerList"></div> <input name="CustomerID" id="CustomerID"

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

I'm in the process of setting up a domain controller (moving from a workgroup configuration). I've installed the latest version of Samba (3.0.5), and have configured it to work as a PDC. However, when I try and connect to the domain, I get an 'Access Denied' message after entering my userid and password. Here's the snip from the client system log: [2004/07/06 12:01:15,

I am having difficulties figuring out which group has permissions on directories that I have within a directory. For example, at the command line, I use "ls -l" (without the quotes, of course) to get the following display: drwxrwx--- 3 MIS+psch MIS+Carb 4096 Sep 2 11:10 MyFolder Drwxr-xr-x 3 MIS+dzoo MIS+Carb 4096 May 21 2003 ThatFolder As you can see, MIS+Carb is all I can see, but
