similar to: LDAP and Samba -- a basic question

Hi: My english is very bad but I will try to explain that it We need. We work at Library of Ministry of Economy. We use one Linux Server with Samba 3.07 (mainly it has data files, CDS/ISIS databases and It application (from Unesco)). Right now, the administrator are Information System's people from Ministry.We need in some case not only to track what user are connected and what files they are

Hi, I'm setting up Samba on a RH ES linux machine. I have basic functionality working and can access a share from a Windows pc. I set up smb.conf manually. I'd like to use SWAT but when I try to run it I get the error: -- The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:901 -- I set up the xinetd configuration file exactly as I've seen online. Webmin works fine.

I moved an old smb system (version 2) over to a completely new system with version 3.0.7 running on FC2. I just copied the config files over and then ran swat and adjusted any problems that I found. Then save the swat config and started the smb server. Gosh be Good! It worked just fine. But... I stared noticing entries like these in the logs:

All, Smbpasswd -j DOMAIN is no longer the way to join a Windows domain instead one needs to use net join. However, net utility, although it's a part of Samba release, is not present on the system. Samba was installed using rpm packages. Here is what's on the system: samba-3.0.9-1.3E.1 samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.1 samba-swat-3.0.9-1.3E.1 Any thoughts? Thanks, Jarek

All, First off I would like to say the book "The Official Samba-3 HowTO and Reference Guide" is awesome I purchased it off Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Ok now on to my problem. I have samba installed and configured and joined the domain no problem. When I run wbinfo -u I can see my domain users, when I run wbinfo -g I can see all my domain groups, BUT if I run

Hi, I am using Samba 3.0.10 PDC with LDAP as password DB. Before we use smbpasswd as passwd DB and every time I need to add a machine account into /etc/passwd so that the mahcine can join the domain. My understanding for LDAP is, this step is not needed any more since we will put all machine account into "ou=Computers". But I am proved to be wrong. Is this the way Samba works? I

1. Does anyone know what may be happening here? When I try to map a drive from a PC, I get the following error: "The account is not authorized to log in from this station.". I can map the drive just fine from my PC. Does anyone know what may be going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2. Also, whenever I use SWAT, it takes a long time for the information to be

Hi, I have the following directory shared for the user "pcbadmin". He/she can mount and read/write without any difficulty: [pcbdata] comment = PCB Design Files path = /home/pcbadmin/pcbdata valid users = pcbadmin public = no writable = yes Question: How can I make the same directory only readable by the rest of the users ? TIA, Ben

I'm running FC3, kernel 2.6.9-1.667, with the KDE desktop. This came with Samba v 3.0.11-fc3 bundled. I've since installed v 3.0.14a. I'm also extremely new to Linux, so please bear with me. My questions are very basic. The FC3-bundled samba is in /etc/samba, and the "upgrade" went into /usr/local/samba. To get SWAT to work, I had to copy the smb.conf that's in

Dear List, while debugging the problem that users cant change file acls from windows clients, I found out that Samba (ver- sion 3.0.13 on debian sarge) tries to look up the SID (of the user who should be added to the acl) as a sambaGroupMapping in the LDAP. Does anybody can tell me: - why samba tries to match a SID of a user as a GroupMapping? This will never work as a user can never be a

Sun has changed the organization of their web site a lot over the years, and I just noticed that a URL included in the HOWTO is broken now. Perhaps there are others as well. In section 39.6.2 "Winbind on Solaris 9" (p. 503), Solaris 9 users are directed to download a patch from the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112960;rev=14 But the Sun

Hi, Say if there are DomainX and DomainY, both are not in trusted relationship. Can a Samba server join both DomainX and DomainY? I can't find any related information on Internet. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks! Yimin

Hello, I am configuring PCs on Windows W2K to access to a LINUX Server where Samba is mounted Is-it possible to do this ? Directory_1 : Browseable (then visible with the Network Favorits) -Sub_Directory_1a : NOT Browseable (unvisible) BUT Writable -Sub_Directory_2a : " " " If not, then just this ?

need clarification of the use of: ldap suffix ldap machine suffix ldap user suffix ldap idmap suffix smb.conf.5 indicates you should have a fully qualified suffix such as: ldap suffix = dc=blah,dc=com ldap machine suffix = ou=People,dc=blah,dc=com ldap user suffix = ou=People,dc=blah,dc=com ldap group suffix = ou=Groups,dc=blah,dc=com ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap,dc=blah,dc=dom

We are running scripts using smbclient to get some data of NetAPP filer and we run into the output below. After doing some digging, I found that there is a incompatibility between NetAPP Data ONTAP OS and samba. Is this still the case or there is a fix for it. We are running 3.0.10 Any ideas would be great George Client started (version 3.0.10). Connecting to 169.177.18.109 at port 445

This one doesn't make any sense to me. What's worse, it seems to occasionally work and sometimes not. I am attempting to log into a domain (DOMA let's say) and I only have an account on DOMB. When DOMA's Samba PDC attempts to create a UNIX account for me, this is what happens: [2005/01/04 15:47:15, 3] auth/auth_util.c:smb_create_user(53) smb_create_user: Running the command

John, The restrictanonymous setting was the primary culprit in Ash's issue. I think he's using basically the same setup as I am; no winbind/LDAP involved. I'm thinking there's some initial handshaking that requires an anonymous connection to PDC, and it's being blocked if the restrictanonymous setting is too high. I sent a note to Ash (& the list) asking for the

Hi all, I just replaced a client's SUSE 8.0/Samba 2.2 DC with a SUSE 9.2/Samba 3.0.9 DC. Drives were giving trouble, and since that box was a first attempt at a linux DC there was a lot of room for improvement. I copied the profiles and home directories over to the new machine, chowned them to the new users. I also did extracted the securid from the old DC and set it to the new one

Hi all, I used to run Samba 2.2.9 on Debian Woody. Yesterday I upgraded it (with all necessary packages) to 3.0.7. Since then, Samba on that server do not respond to netbios queries, only to direct access via IP. Also, when I try to resolv its name using nmblookup, I cannot find it. When I access to server via IP address everything works fine. Any idea ? TIA -- Eng. Dusan Djordjevic
