Hi guys, I am a newbie so please bear with me here. The question is not really related to Samba but to Red Hat. I want to install some EMail Server program on my RH 9 so that I could use my Red Hat PC as email server. Do you guys know of any program that I can use? By the way I installed RH9 with all options, so I guess I would have something inside my PC that would serve this prrpose that I

I want to configure a server with Samba. I made some test with Mandriva 2006 but I'm not sure it's the best linux performance ! What do you think ? Did you make some test between different linux version ? Best Regards, Luc Sainte-Marie Network Administrator

Are there any gotcha's..... I am currently using winbindd and very successfully integrating my Samba boxes with the NT4 domain structure. The admin who is doing the migration (A corporate person not used to Linux at all) is already nervous about the migration since it involves Linux. Usernames are not supposed to change..but, the authentication domain is going to be a completely new

Hello, I'm using a Samba client to access a Samba Server. The "smbclient tool" is ok, both at the client as at the server. I'm having trouble with the "wbinfo" command (winbind service) at the client, as you can see below. Can anybody help me?

Folks, Not even a peep. Did I ask the wrong question or am I on the wrong list? I don't mind pointers to more information.... I own both the recent books on Samba 3 and they are very good, but I seem to be missing something. Anyways...

I had 3.05 running fine with an NT4 domain. I am using SERVER authentication with the machines and users. After the upgrade some of my users are no longer recognized ...or rather they are part of a trusted domain (NT4 -> NT4 trust)....and they do not get authenticated properly....so they can no longer map their home directory. Also, some people are loosing their mapping to their home

smb.conf (relavent section) [global] workgroup = WPTZ security = DOMAIN map to guest = Bad User password server = WPTZSRV1, WPTZ-BDC username map = /etc/samba/smbusers log level = 2 syslog = 3 time server = Yes printcap cache time = 750 printcap name = cups logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon

I have almost the same setup (NT4 domain, with W2K3 Terminal Server).... I am using Suse 9.2, Samba 3.0.21b, with winbindd on a generic x86 server. No special package configurations...just the rpms from samba for Suse. I do have the same problems. -- I have home directories mapped for users. When I log into the Term Server with RDP my home directory on my Samba box comes up just fine.. What

Hi. I am running 3.0.20. 1. I would like to have an include statement pointing to user configurations. For a user, say 'mike', the following works: include = /home/mike/smb.conf But this does not: include = /home/%u/smb.conf I am using a very simple config with 'security = user'. What am I doing wrong? I cannot get any log feedback from this ('testparm' says

I'm running FC3 with its bundled samba 3.0.11-fc3, and I'm trying to update to 3.0.14a. I've downloaded the rpms from samba.org, and (I think) I've backed up the original samba installation--/etc/samba--and I've stopped smb (I had to kill the smbd and nmbd processes; "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop" didn't work). I've also withdrawn (make uninstall) an

Hello, I am new to this list but I have been learning to use linux/bsd and samba for the past year. so far I have been able to learn enough on my own to be able to successfully set up a functional samba server on FreeBSD and Gentoo Linux boxes. I am trying to learn how to integrate them into an Active Directory windows 2003 server domain. So far I have verified that Kerberos and ldap and winbind

Experts, We've just migrated from samba 2.2.8a to samba 3.0.20b in a very large corporate environment. Everything was really fine in our lab, but we began experiment serious load problems on the productive servers the morning after the procedure took place. I'll try (briefly) to describe the characteristics of the scenario: Resources: Old Environment: Hardware:

I will be upgrading my Samba server from 2.2.8a to 3.0.10. I currently have security set to 'share' and plan on migrating to 'ads' for improved authentication. I have one snag, though... I have remote users who reside in and are managed by a Windows domain that is not in my control. There is no trust relationship at all. If I use 'ads' security, can I add a 'valid

I have run into what can only be described as a farce but one that is outside my control and which I need fixed. I am informed that my cell phone service provider, Bell Canada, will not allow any email messages from a user id 'root' to pass through their email to sms text gateway. Now, I send alerts out from cron and other system monitoring software and these all go out as root at

In "the 500 user office" section of the Samba Guide, John Terpstra lists some seriously disappointing numbers for Samba scalability. To quote, "As a general rule, there should be at least one Backup Domain Controller per 50 Windows network clients. The principle behind this recommendation is the fact that correct operation of MS Windows clients requires rapid network response
