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 am attempting to setup a brand new samba3 domain. The WINS, DNS, DHCP and Samba are all be on MACHINNAME. I put the domain name and the WINS machine name as a hard coded entries in /var/lib/samba/wins.dat: "MACHINNAME" 0 192.168.12.4 66R "DOMAINNAME" 0 192.168.12.4 66R I still keep getting "Cannot find my workgroup DOMAINNAME on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET." in

<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...

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

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

Hello, i updated my samba to version 3.0.20 on a suse 9.2 system. I thought, some new net rpc commands need samba 3.0.13. But I get faults with the command: amd:~ # net rpc rights grant testuser10 SeMachineAccountPrivilege [2005/08/25 02:45:35, 0] param/loadparm.c:map_parameter(2536) Unknown parameter encountered: "enables privileges" [2005/08/25 02:45:35, 0]

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.

My FC 2 server with Samba 3.0.10 had been working fine before I removed the second NIC I had installed. Since that time I have been unable to convince Samba that it is the domain master browser; it continues to find an existing master browser at the IP address for the now non-existent NIC. I have searched to remove all references to the old IP address from configuration files, but have found

Hello.

I just renumbered my local network, from 192.168.1/24 to 192.168.23/24. My samba 3.0.10 server, which is configured to be the local and master domain browser, seems to be a bit confused: Jan 4 22:03:34 pyloric nmbd[2308]: [2005/01/04 22:03:34, 0] nmbd/nmbd_become_dmb.c:become_domain_master_browser_wins(327) Jan 4 22:03:34 pyloric nmbd[2308]: become_domain_master_browser_wins: Jan 4

Hi, Is there a locking problem with version 3.0.2a? We have been running this version over the past several weeks with no problems, but over the past few days have been experiencing horrendous apparently random problems with Outlook, Printing and Excel. Outlook fails with the error "folder being modified by another workstation" Excel gives "disk full" errors Printing stops

I changed the ip on my samba 3.0.4 server from using dhcpd allotted 192.168.0.165 to a static 192.168.0.5 Now my windows clients get a message: 'the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted' but it is contacting the domain because otherwise it would have given me an error saying it can't find it. I have done a gg: search to no avail please help i am goining on

I am having trouble with one of my samba PDC's. It does not recognize itself as the domain master browser even though it is set to be so. I can not add machines to this domain and I suspect this is why. Has anybody seen this or know what causes it? Notice this: DOMAIN_ALBANY(3) current master browser = ALBANY_PDC DOMAIN_NYC(2) current master browser = NYC_PDC

I am logged into a new test Linux server with my personal admin account. It is a member of a Linux group which has been mapped to Domain Admins. When I issue 'net rpc rights grant auserid SeMachineAccountPrivilege' and enter the password for my personal admin account, I am returned that it failed with NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_PRIVILEGE. 'auserid' is both a Linux account and has been

Hi all. I have a problem. I'm trying to let samba run as WINS server and as domain master.

Hello world, I have a very strange update problem: this night I upgraded from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 (debian unstable) and the system broke completely with very strange errors (I did not change anything to smb.conf) - win98 users can log in, copy and everything - xp users can log in, they see the shares but they cannot access the files (read error in xp). I have tested it with Xp-Prof SP1 und SP2

Hi Need to setup netbios alias on a server. When users connect to sunone they reach home and some other shares. suntwo is a archive share. I can't authenticate against the pdc on sunone and suntwo. Ask for user/passwd on each netbios alias. Connecting to sun10 works. If i switch to shared on security and guest ok this setup works. When connecting to the aliases i get:

Is there some way to configure a special account which is able to only join workstations to the domain? I believe the operation talks over IPC$ - such as the NETDOM.EXE command. Can one set admin users for IPC$ and thus join the domain without allowing that special account too much access to Samba. Maybe one extension of this would be allowing to join workstations to the domain plus read only
