Here is the problem, I have convifgured samba to act as a PDC, I have set an add user scipt serveral different ways and I have added my machine account as a trust...in windows the name of the computer is ids1 so the the name of the computer in smbpasswd is ids1$.

I have a disk on a samba 3 server that works great with all the windows machines connected to it. However my backup server tries to connect and constantly gets Input/Output errors, cp and rsync have given errors like can not stat file etc. I am using mount -t smbfs to mount the share. I would be glad to give any more information that would help. Thanks -- Respectfully yours, Jason Self

Hello everybody, I have been trying to set up a PDC in samba. As I continue to make what I think are advancements I am still nowhere near having things running. My problem is as follows: I have been in the past using Samba as a simple file server on our Workgroup and decided that I would convert this server over to being a PDC. After configuring and reconfiguring the smb.conf I managed to

Just wondering something: the last time I've read anything on wine64 stated that it compiled, but couldn't run anything (complex at least). Just wondering as of feb 25, how is wine64 coming along? Have a 64-bit system, and due to a bug in 32-bit wine WoW crashes constantly due to using more than 4gb of memory, and I figured the 64-bit version won't have an issue with this... -- Tired

Hello all, Sorry for my long post but is a very urgent situation (is required to configure 3 PDC in less then 4 hours) and i have not enough time to read and experiment so i am posting here my problem. Please read entire message (is a little bit long). I have already one PDC using samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2 (on RHEL4) which is working fine with windows 9x and xp clients, excepting one thing. All

All, I have a site with around 200 concurrent users, with a user count of over a thousand... I'm currently using just one PDC using the smbpasswd backend. I currently do not want to go into an LDAP backend... but would tdbsam be a better alternative? One of the issues I have is, pretty randomly, I have some machines that cannot find the domain controller (dell wireless card utility tells you

OS = RHEL 5 samba version 3.0.33-3.29 openldap 2.3 is it possible to have linux users stored in an ldap directory and still use the passdb backend = smbpasswd. I have an existing smbpasswd password db and an existing set of linux users I have migrated the linux users to LDAP and authenticating successfully until I have time to get all samba credentials migrated to ldap i still need use the

ive got several hundred user accounts in NIS that i need to get into the smbpasswd file. since samba doesn't actually use NIS, but can only be in sync with it, what is the best way to get all these passwords into smbpaswd? I'd hate to have to have all users re-enter their passwords... anyone done this before? thanks in advance, alex ---

Hi everyone, I just finished installing FreeBSD 6 RELEASE on my Toshiba Tecra A4 laptop and the installation was fine, however, when I rebooted the machine, I don't get the boot loader screen as if the machine can not see my drive! I tried the reinstalling and ensured that I set the slice to be bootable but that didn't change anything. Not sure if this is a common issue with FreeBSD 6 on

Hi Ivan, Not sure if you have found a solution or not since your post was back in February, but I thought I'd reply as this is the only thread I could find anywhere that mentions a problem that I was having on a recent installation of Arch Linux. A few minutes after boot all of my CIFS/Samba mounts would go offline and I'd get an error "The host is down." But I could unmount

If you've 'rediscovered the web' with Firefox (http://getfirefox.com), you might find this tip handy. Suppose you want to search the (local) R documentation for information about the lme function. Wouldn't it be nice to just type into the browser address bar: r lme and have the search performed? Here's how (on Windows): Click on this link:

Hello all, I'm implementing Zimbra 4.5.6 and Samba PDC and a slave LDAP (with Samba too). Thanks for the great tutorial from Greg and friends. I put all the files shared in the slave LDAP (with Samba). So, client authenticated to the master LDAP Samba PDC, and then access the files in the slave server. All is running OK. There is only one obstacle: I cannot change Samba ACL using windows

Hello, I wanted to improve a bit Samba security, and add same new functions so I worked around its code. Changes that I've done are described below. If anyone is interested, and wants my patch for testing please send me a message. I'm not joining it here as it has 20kB gzipped. Patch is against clean Samba-1.9.18p8. ======================================== Changes to the Samba

Has anyone expirienced problems with the aic79xx controller and xen 2.0.3 (liinux-2.6.10)? I have got FC3 running and compiled xen-2.0.3 from the sources. The compile ssems to work fine but after rebooting the xen0 domain the server stops during boot at the aic79xx message - no harddisks are recognized. I''ve searched through the mailinglist up and down, asked google but

One of the sticking points when using SaMBa is that two sets of passwords need to be maintained, one for SMB and the other for the host OS, usually a UNIX variant. A partial solution exists on some systems in the form of SMB-PAM modules. They let the UNIX like system validate passwords against the SMB password database. The problem is that, allegedly, you have to be on a WinXX box to change your

I have client running windows 2000 which is part of a domain with a samba (2.2.3a) server running as PDC. Authentication works fine. On the _same_ client I have added a partition that boots into Win XP, it has the same machine name. However I cannot get it to join the domain. I can use the administrator account to look at objects on the pdc, but when I try to create a user account I get a

Hi, Is it possible to get SAMBA to trust an NT Domain's machine account's but still authenticate the user from the local domain, i.e. the users account is on the SAMBA Domain but the machine he is loggin in from is on the NT Domain. Basically the SAMBA domain my trust the NT domain for resources. All I've found so far in the lists and faqs; is one way trusts where the NT domain
