similar to: Samba equiv for OS/2 NET ADMIN or NT's RCMD / PSEXEC?

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

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

I found the solution, or at least a work around, for my posting: "Can not grant SeMachineAccountPrivilege on Debian Etch" I ended up: 1) ssh to Debian Etch as root 2) smbpasswd -a root 3) issue the "net rpc rights grant ..." command SUCCESS!!! So, that raises the question that what MUST be executed as user root verses a member of ntgroup="Domain Admins"? I suspect

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

psexec util (from sysinternals) is a tool which allows to execute commands on a remote Windows machine. A command like that: psexec.exe \\192.168.1.147 -u Administrator -p password C:\test.bat would run C:\test.bat as administrator on a Windows workstation with IP address 192.168.1.147. Quite cool, you don't have to install anything additional (like SSH server) on Windows, and you can

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

Hello ! If anybody want`s to implement the psexec unix port or samba equivalent, maybe taking a look at xCmd from Zoltan Csizmadia at http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/network/remoteinvocation/article.php/c5433/ may help a LOT and is a very good example. (This one seems to work similar like psexec - but it is available with sourcecode!) I don`t know if the author is still reachable via this

Windows admins can make their work easier with a tool like psexec. It allows to execute commands remotely, without the need to install anything on the target machine. All that is needed is username/password of course. Unfortunately, psexec command only runs on Windows. The usage is as follows (we start notepad interactively with -i to show that something happens): psexec \\192.168.1.2 -i -u

Hello! I don`t know if there is a port of psexec for unix yet (haven`t followed the list for some time) - but since it has been discussed on this list several times and i didn`t find any news about the current state of the "psexec unix port"- i`d like to tell that i found a psexec equivalent by chance - WITH SOURCECODE INCLUDED ! :) take a look at

Hi, I've got a simple PHP script which is using psexec from sysinternals to execute commands on a remote machine (which uses SMB under the hood). If I run it from DOS it works fine. If I run the same script via apache it hangs. Fired up Wireshark and had a look at what was going on. In the working version the treeconnect calls go to the IPC$ and then the ADMIN$ accounts on the remote machine.

<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...

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

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()

We use MS DOS 7 ala Win98 SE and the M$ client for DOS to logon to Samba 3.0.13 Debian Stable package from samba.org. Also one other unique thing, we have XCOPY32.EXE copied as XCOPY.EXE thus it is really XCOPY32.EXE we are executing, just as XCOPY.EXE. ;-) Example of failing line of code... echo f|xcopy u:\foo\bar.txt h:\file.txt where U: is the drive mapped to the server and H: is a local RAM

Subject pretty much askes it all. For those that run OS/2 eCS against Samba servers on a regular basis... looks like I might have to head back in that direction. I am trying to avoid NetBIOS which means the usual SrvIFS I would prefer to have go bye bye once and for all. I did get SrvIFS-IP from the "Beyond DHCP" RedBook yesterday, but is has memory corruption on the server daemon side

I was wondering if there is a pstools / psexec (tools by Sysinternals) equivalent, which could be run on Linux machine to execute a process on a remote Windows machine?

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

I happened to check if there are current Debian .deb packages for 3.0.20a at samba.org, only 3.0.14a in the directory. Will this be updated, or has there been a change in operations behind the scenes?

Typical Linux Distros add all sorts of Unix groups to users when it creates them, like cdrom, floppy, dialout, audio, etc... Logging in to the domain from Windows with an account that has such membership over on Linux... "ifmember.exe /list" shows all of those memberships. Why exactly? I would expect only the groups I did a "net groupmap" on would be considered by Samba.
