similar to: Samba Upgrade...

I have just taken over a redhat system with Samba 3.0.0 configured with security = user, and domain logins enabled. I've included the smb.conf at the end of this message. I would like to upgrade to 3.0.10 for a numbers of reasons, one being security and one being that password changes don't work from workstation machines because of the Windows KB828741 patch. What I want to know, is if I

After reading through the documentation, I realized that as a part of the migration process from Samba-2.2.X to Samba-3.0.0 I needed to convert everyone in my smbadmin group (previously domain admin group = @smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group w/rid=512. So, I issued the following command: [root@localhost profile]# net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins"

Problem number one: ------------------- I'm running a few-hours-old CVS version of Samba 3.0 with LDAP as the authentication backend, and I'm having some problems trying to set up the LDAP accounts using "smbpasswd". I build the structure of the LDAP database by importing a couple of LDIF's, and then I import the following user account to create an administrative account

I have an [apps] share that was intended to be read-only (to keep viruses away) however some Windows programs require rw access to specific files. I don't want to open-up everything on the share to rw, only those specific files/directories that need 'w' access. Here's the dilemma: In order for users to be able to change a file, the file and directory it's in need to have rw

Hi, The group that is mapped to rid=512 cannot be used in "valid users", the users cannot map the share (error 5). Is this normal? Should I file a bug? Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu server role = classic primary domain controller smb.conf: valid users = +smbadmin command: net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=smbadmin rid=512 type=d As soon as I remove the group

Hi! I have a problem with roaming profiles which I don't understand. I can login and logout from XP with a samba PDC with ldapsam flawlessly, but for some reasons when the profile does not belong to the user itself windows tells me upon logout that it cannot copy back some files to the server. Weird, because the directory where the profile resides is readable and writable by the user,

I have experienced a couple of (minor) problems with Samba Thought I would report these and ask if they are known problems. 1. Problem with "!" in username map file 2. Samba tools e.g. smbstatus, testparm not accounting for "config file" parameter 1. There appears to be a problem with a minor part of username map file interpretation. When I put an exclamation mark

when trying to put a samba3 server into a domain (samba3 pdc) I always get the following error messages: [root@file samba]# net join -d 2 -U smbadmin RHEL -S server1.example.com [2004/09/30 23:36:35, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(79) added interface ip=192.168.0.150 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 smbadmin's password: [2004/09/30 23:36:37, 1] libads/ldap.c:ads_connect(251)

Hi! I'm experiencing strange performance problems after upgrading to samba 3.2.8 from 3.0.30. For all users except smbadmin (who has administrative rights), read performance is _very_ bad. Looking at the read-requests using filemon and wireshark, I found out that for those users, every read is handled transparently (unbuffered) over the net. (I.e. a 2 byte read-request of the application

I just downloaded and installed Samba 3.0.3 and it still doesn't fix the problem caused by the windows update discussed in KB828741. Still getting the message "You do not have permission to change your password" on some boxes, or "The system cannot change your password because the domain DOMAIN is not available" on others. Uninstalling the update still works, however this

Dear Herman, We had the same problems over here. The problem seems to be related to Windows Hotfix KB828741. Removing the hotfix through the control panel solved it for us.

OK, I had this working a few days ago, but have evidently changed something that I cannot locate. Someone hit me with their 2x4. Samba 3.0.22, Fedora Core 4, ldapsam (OpenLDAP 2.3.24). smbd will not start, with the "ERROR: failed to setup guest info" error (I have "guest account = guest", which is a valid user with correct info in LDAP): ldap_connect_system: Binding to ldap

Hi! I am experiencing problems adding a user (e.g. smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group on my samba-PDC using the ldapsam backend. When I add "Domain Admins" as a supplementary group, the Windows 2000 client doesn't treat smbadmin as an admin. However, using "Domain Admins" as the primary group (including setting sambaPrimaryGroupSID as

There have been several issues fixes since the 3.0.2 release of Samba. One of the most important issues is a problem with password changing after applying the patch described in the Microsoft KB828741 article to Windows clients. I want to run Samba 3.0.4 on RHEL3. The version provided by RedHat is samba-3.0.2-6.3E. I can't find any other RPMs or SRPMs for RHEL3. Any help you can provide

Hello all, I've noticed that removing a user from a group in /etc/group does not immediately prevent the user from accessing files / directories which the group still has access to. For example, say user 'cwseyst2' only has access to access to 'plc' if it is in group 'plc-staff'. # getfacl plc # file: plc # owner: smbadmin # group: smbadmin user::rwx group::rwx

Hi everyone, I am writing a small tool that will compare a file on my machine with the the same file on an rpm repository and then give me a diff. E.g. # rpm-file-diff /etc/samba/smb.conf will show a diff output so that I can see at a glance what changes I have made to my local smb.conf file. I already know about rpmdiff but that compares whole packages and not files. Anyway while fiddling
