similar to: security=share, write / read-only mix doesn't work on Samba3

Hi, I've been having a problem in Samba version 3, using "security = share". When you have a share that you want to be read-only to one group, and read-write to another. It ends up being read-write for both groups. This behavior seems inconsistent with Samba 2.2.x behavior. Have the configuration options changed, or is this a bug? This issue is listed on Samba's

Hello, I have a client with a windows utility that relies on "touch"ing (changing the mod time) on zero-length files in a folder for the purpose of judging when that folder was last accessed. This works fine for him on mapped windows servers, and from the local disk, but from a Samba (v3.0.22) volume, the mod time doesn't change unless there was an actual data change within the

Hi, I've recently installed ext3 on an 800MB RAID5 (software) array. I am running RedHat Linux 7.1 with the Linux kernel 2.4.12-ac3 on a 1GHz Pentium system with 128MB RAM. I am seeing a significant amount of write operation slowdown when running ext3 (and kjournald), as opposed to my old ext2. The problem seems to be associated with the times that kjournald is accessing the disk. At

Hi, We are having a problem between Linux 2.6.9-prep #12 SMP Mon Dec 6 12:08:34 CST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Samba version 3.0.9-1.fc3) and MAC OS X 10.3.5 Samba version 3.0.0rc2 Basically the issue is that the Mac reports the Linux share as being full, and won't allow files to be copied. We are able to work around it using this method: Create a folder on the Linux

Hi List - I have a friend that runs a Windows domain with Active Directory and is setting up some new laptops with Redhat. He wants to automate installs, etc. on these laptops as he would on a Windows machine. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this - and also if anyone knows of a good tutorial for joining a Linux machine to a Windows domain. I've heard that it is possible.

Hello, When Samba is configured to use smbpasswd as a backend, it uses an algorithm to construct SIDs from uid/gids. The SIDs are not stored anywhere. But when ldapsam is used as a backend, without changing anything else to the configuration, a SID *has to* be stored in the entry of each user. I don't need nor want that. - Is it possible to have a LDAP backend but still use the algorithm to

Hello, It seems that the smb.conf parameter "ldap user suffix" has no effect when searching for users. When searching for a user in the LDAP server samba uses the simple "ldap suffix" without prepending the "ldap user suffix". But it works for "ldap group suffix". The description of these two parameters are similar in the manual for smb.conf. Here are

Hallo @all, since 3.0.10 parameter "min password lenght" is deprecated. If removing the entry from smb.conf, the default of "min password lenght = 5" is used. smbpasswd uses this entry if creating or changing passwords. How can I set a min password lenght of 2 characters without the deprecated parameter when the passdb backend is smbpasswd? Think "min password
