Hello, Jeremy and Jerry, I met both of you at LinuxWorld in Boston, where I learned tons and tons of great stuff from your presentations. I'm writing on deadline for publication and would really, really, really like to show off Samba's ability to map NT ACLs to POSIX ACLs. But right now, I can't make them work. I've spent some time on the Samba list trying to make this work, but

OK so I've got samba-3.0.11 compiled with ACL support. I've running 2.4.25 with the ACL/ATTR patch applied. I can read and set ACLS's using the getfacl/setfacl programs. ldd /usr/sbin/smbd shows it's linked to libattr.so.1 and libacl.so.1. I can read ACL with the smbcacls program, but when I try to set them I get: ERROR: Unable to open credentials file! Also from the

I have no trouble joining the domain in our main office(samba PDC) or a branch office(samba BDC) but for some reason I can't join the domain at the branch office 2(also samba BDC) All three offices are running 3.0.11 and the 2 branch offices have identical configurations, aside from ip address'. The message I get from Windows XP is: The following error occured attempting to join the

I was currious about setting up load balancing for my company fileserver. This machine get's heavy usage and we would like to load balance the traffic over two 1 Gigabit NICS. How would this be best accomplished? Should we set up a firewall rules that will NAT for that machine or does samba have a built in mechinism? -- David Sonenberg Systems / Network Administrator Stroz Friedberg,

Very strange on my desktop(win2k) I don't get this problem but on other workstations both win2k and winxp I get this. After logging on to the Domain a windows labelled 'Sas Window: winlogon.exe - Application Error' pops up with the following message: The instruction at "0x00650076" referenced memory at "0x00650076" The memory could no be "read" I

I'm trying to get Samba up but I can't seem to get the LDAP connection working correctly. I can run a search from ldapsearch, but samba is complaining that it can't connect. Here's the error from log.smbd [2004/12/29 16:04:04, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_connect_system(850) failed to bind to server with dn= cn=Manager Error: Invalid credentials [2004/12/29 16:04:04, 1]

I'm trying to set it up so I can join the domain with a regular user that is part of the domain admin group. I have a user dsonenberg that is in the domain admin group(512), but I can't join the domain with that account. For the record I can login with that account and Administrator can join the domain. The PDC has an LDAP backend. Here's the log. 2005/02/08 10:26:25, 2]

Hello, I have a problem, I'm mounting a ntfs directory shared with w2k. I made "cd" to the mounted directory, I excute tar ... and the limit is 2Gb, and I receive the error: Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 512 Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_request: result -512, setting invalid Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_retry: caught signal Jul 20 10:04:30 mail

I'm trying to iron out all the problems on my PDC. It's setup with a LDAP backend that's replicated to an ldap slave/BDC. Here's the problem: # smbldap-groupshow 'domain admins' dn: cn=Domain Admins,ou=People,dc=strozllc,dc=com objectClass: posixGroup,sambaGroupMapping gidNumber: 512 cn: Domain Admins memberUid: Administrator,root,astanley description: Netbios Domain

Alright now that samba can talk to LDAP I have a blank slate. I know I need to setup group mappings, but I'm a little confused about this. Since it's an ldap backend do the groups need to have unix counterparts? Should I use the net groupmap command to add the mappings or should I use an LDIF file?

Hi all I'm using Samba version 3.0623 on my rhel3 with kernel 2.4.21 I mounted a windows partition with the command "smbmount". Now I have the problem, that I cannot copying files which are larger than 2GB. The cp command starts and everything works fine until the 2GB are reached. Then the bash gives me the error: "The maximum file size is exceeded" the

Good morning, Samba List, I'm setting ACLs from the security tab of the properties window of a folder via a Windows XP SP2 client. The Samba share in question is running on 3.0.11 with an ext3 file system and Fedora Core 3 underneath. All this works great -- I can set up ACLs beautifully from Windows and when I check them out with getfacl on the Linux side, the results make sense to me.

I'm trying to set up my LDAP in preparation to configure my Samba PDC. In the Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide it give instructions on howto setup slapd.conf (section 10.4.4.3) After modifying the file it instructs to run /sbin/splapindex -f /splapd.conf When I run this I get the following error: /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema: line 423: AttributeType not found:

I'm trying to set up a second domain(on a physically separated network) at my office but I'm running into a road block. I've got the PDC, and LDAP setup up but can't seem to connect. I suspect it's something with either nss_ldap or pam but I can't track it down. Since I've already posted this elsewhere, with no response, here's the links to the details(from

To start out, I'm running 3.0.11 domain member server (samba PDC/BDC) with winbind. I would like to be able to apply size limits to shares. I know this is usually done with unix quotas, but I don't want to limit the quotas by user or group just by the share. I saw the 'max disk size' directive, but it looks like this won't be enforced, it will just report it to the client.

When you re-open the properties of an existing file or directory with ACLs set on it from a Windows workstation, do you see the usernames and group names properly? Or do you see SIDs in the dialog box as I do? Just gathering data. If you are seeing usernames and group names properly I'd love to see your smb.conf file. In my case, the Samba server is an AD domain member. -- Thomas Boutell

Hi, I'm working on updates to the WWW FAQ (okay, it's a little much to use the singular in 2006, but it was the first!). Embedded multimedia has been a sore spot for a while. I've been recommending that people embed old-school MPEG, because it works in all players. But it's awful. Terrible bitrates. I'm on the verge of recommending SWF instead, even though it's a hideous
