To further the discussion (or lack thereof) of the browse list issues (systems not showing up in the browse list, even though their shares are accessable with //system/sharename) that 5 or 10 people on the list have been having over the past month or so... I was out to this client the other day, had the opportunity to try the few things that had been suggested, all to no avail. I then proceeded

I am trying to connect a windows xp client to a samba PDC. The user exists on the PDC and has an entry in the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. In my smb.conf file, I have the following: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false %u && /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -s /bin/false -M %u && /usr/bin/smbpasswd -m -a %u

I'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message:

Hi folks :-) I'm just installing a fresh new samba server, and trying to authenticate some win xp machines. The config is more or less like this : * Windows XP SP1 with all security upgrades * Samba 3.0.0final-1 running on debian testing I'm more or less following this howto : http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html#winxp I'm using this smb.conf file : --8<------- [global]

I've recently recompiled and reinstalled the latest Samba because the version I was running wouldn't talk to Windows XP. It still won't. Can anyone direct me to any docs, howtos, or other docs concerning WinXP problems? Thanks... God's Blessings, Gene To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

Hello, After a great deal of tweaking, I finally got the Samba server working, so that it would accept domain logins. However, the problem I now have regards roaming profiles, which refuse to function. After successfully authenticating the user, the following 2 messages appear: Message 1: ---------- Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on

I have seen a number of postings which seem similar to the problem I am having, but am yet to find a fix for my situation. Problem is as follows: - Samba 3.0.2 rpm installed on Red Hat Enterprise ES 3.0, configured as PDC with ldapsam backend - Windows XP Professional client joined to the Samba domain. The XP client successfully joins the domain and can browse and access shares (including the

My Ldap Admin password is correct in secrets.tdb and I can logon in Win 9x, but not in Win XP. The option "RequireSignOrSeal"= dword:00000000 is ok. The WinXP can found the Samba Domain, but not the user/password. When I logon in Network place the password is correct and I can view the user files. Any ideas why I cannot logon in Win XP ? Thank's.

Don't know if this issue is Windows XP specific, or whether it's Samba that's contributing to the problem. Running Samba 3.0.3 as a PDC on a network of 5 Windows XP Pro workstations. They have their "important" data stored in a file share on the server, permissions set for all of them to access no problem. They each also have a shared documents directory on their

Hi, i have a Samba PDC (no LDAP) and added add user script to my config. I can create the user with no problems, login is possible but the /home/samba/profile/user dir is not created. Any hints on that? script commands i added: add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m '%u' -g ntusers -G ntusers -s /bin/false delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r '%u' add group script =

I finally found the solution that many people faced about joining a samba 2.2.x domain with XP or 2000 I've recently upgraded a Win98SE to WinXP, and attempt to join this to the Samba Domain (of ver 2.2.2), which already have 2 Win2000 as member. However, although the XP accept the Domain Joining, it denied me to log into the domain after a reboot, so I tried to view the System Event in the

Hello, I have a Samba-PDC (Samba 3.0.23d) with a ldap-Backend. On serveral XP-Machines I can log in with my domain-account, everything is running fine. But one freh installed XP-Machine can't load my profile. I can't find anything in the Logs (loglevel 5) that seems to point to the problem of my PDC: Can anybody help me to fix this?

Hi, first of all: my name is uli... i'm from bavaria/germany and i'm working with linux quite a long time (maybe 10 years). Now my "problem": my samba is setup with ldap-backend. my configuration with mandatory profiles is working quite good. i created a Default User - Profile in my netlogon-share (migrated from a windows-xp client). ntuser.dat has been renamed to ntuser.man.

I've been having this problem for a long time now. It started when I first began to use Dovecot (0.9x) and seems to have been occurring more and more frequently as we've progressed through the betas and now into RC7. I have been kind of chaulking it up to a "user issue" since the problem only seems to occur for one user (who has one machine at his office, and one at his weekend

Hi, I suspect this is more of a WinXP issue, but since it drives me mad, I'll ask anyway. What I want: In Windows XP network neighborhood, select my samba server, select one of the shares, then have a dialog asking me for the respective Samba-username & -password to access the share. What I get: I get a dialog with the username "Guest", greyed out, asking me for a

PDC: Samba 2.2.8a on linux 2.4.20 + XFS + ACL, rather normal configuration. Client: Win XP Pro When user logon to Domain, I can see him (smbstatus, utmpx). But when he logoff, the record is still there. It disappears when I reboot the XP. According to M$ knowledge-base the problem is that samba doesn't handle the logoff correctly. Do you have any solution of this? -- Honza Houstek

Hi, This has probably been covered before but after 4 hours of searching I'm nearly at the point of throwing my XP machine out of the window!! I have set up Samba (v 2.2.5) on my Red Hat 7.1 box. From the Red Hat box I can see all the other computers on the network (other Linux machines, Win2k, Windows ME and my Windows XP box), and get access to the shared drives on them. The linux box can

G'day. I'm having a great time trying to get a whole heap of XP workstations (from what I understand, they've been hotfixed+windows updated+whatever else a few days ago) to authenticate against Samba running on a FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE box. Basically, I add user accounts, machine accounts (with both "pw" and "smbpasswd"), then I can get the XP machines to successfully

Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same
