I have Samba version 3.0.2a-3mdk with an LDAP backend. Works great but I can't seem to get user manager for domains to work with it. I'm thinking that perhaps it might be a samba bug that has probably since been corrected. Can anyone validate this idea?

Doesn't anyone here know how to authenticate hosts in the group 'Domain Controllers' such that you don't have to set 'ldap admin dn' to the ldap server's root dn? What's the big deal? Why is this such a secret? Everytime I ask about it I get dead silence. It doesn't seem to matter what list I am on either. Jim C. --

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Huh!? This is man page is really not very helpful. Does the command run before or after the disconnect? What exactly is the shell environment? Why does it run as root if there is a separate setting just for this, i.e. "root postexec"? I ran with "echo $USER > /tmp/err.txt" as the command and it spat out "root".

Guys, I need a clue here. The command I am using is: cupsaddsmb -H kaliklak -U Administrator -h kaliklak -v Lex_Z53 and despite the fact that the password used is correct the result is: [root@kaliklak root]# cupsaddsmb -H kaliklak -U root -h kaliklak -v Lex_Z53 Password for root required to access kaliklak via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient //kaliklak/print\$ -N -U'root%XXXXXXXXXX'

Samba supports links now, right? I was recently experimenting with a setup for cross-platform access to a user's FireFox bookmarks. Unfortunately, FireFox overwrites the link to the bookmarks file on exit. How is this possible if Samba is interpreting the link correctly? Shouldn't the file that the bookmarks link points to be overwritten instead? Both the link and the file are on
