Nathan, Thanks for the tips. Most of these settings were already in place, but the ones that were not already there I set up, with the exception of the 'force group' setting. I hesitate to try this simply because many of the subfolders under the shared volume are have their access controlled by group, and I didn't want to risk preventing others from accessing their files in the middle

Hi all, has anyone had any experience with samba3 on a X86_64 system. Are there any significant performance benefits ? cheers Stephan

Subject isn't exactly samba, but samba people usually know a lot about windows bat scripting. Here's my problem: Currently our domain login script is doing this (among other things): ifmember.exe "WINDOWS-DOMAIN\Projects" if errorlevel 1 ( net use p: \\server1\projects ) This works fine. The problem is I'm moving the projects storage to a different server called server 2

for some strange reason, our wins servers occasionally drop samba servers out of there name space. to deal with this, I cron'ed a restart of samba at midnight everynight. This was a quick solution, but a lousy one. I would rather have some way to have samba regularly send name registration requests to wins. Is there a way to do this? barring that, is there some interface I can query on samba

Is it possible to make samba produce a log at level 10 for only a specified user(s), I am trying (still) to figure out why Samba processes climb to 100% CPU and the user loses connection with MS Word & Excel files being locked. Have been dealing with this issue for quite some time now, but had to put it on the back burner for a while because we had little time to deal with it. Apprently only

I have Samba 3.014a running. If I use the standard profiles definition: [profiles] path = /opt/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 then everything works fine. But changing just the path to path = /home/%U/profiles breaks it completely. I can curious why this doesn't work. The user that is logging in owns their

... as in they dont appear to be forcing anymore anymore ? =) I've tried on two seperate machines, slightly different configs but same statements in the stanza I was testing... Trying to force 750/640 and it appeared to work quite nicely in the past.. No other mode statements around, and according to docs, force does a bitwire OR on the mode, no AND or masking. Still, with 750/640 forced,

Hello Sir, Can u help me to provide useful information about the samba. I want to ask few question which are 1)what security does samba provides from sever side and client side. 2)What auditing features does samba provides and finally 3) Is it possible to detect brute forcing attacks (such as NAT) against a SAMBA server I will be very grateful if can give me information on these.

Hi, I'm a busy sysadmin locking and unlocking user accounts. I'd like to be able to do it from my linux -kerberos enabled samba workstation. I can easily use net commands to see if a user's account is locked in the ADS. How do I actually lock it from within samba. I've written a user management system at the school that does lots of things, I'd like it to be able to do

I am using Samba 3.0.20pre1 as a DC and I want to know if there is something similar to Deep Freeze www.faronics.com (except open source) for Linux. Deep Freeze automatically compares the software installation on a client machine to an image on a server. If the client machine differs, the client is automatically synced with the server. I want to achieve this with Samba and a linux tool if

One question and a comment--- Is it possible to setup a G4 X Server into a duplicating server for my k12 LDAP Server? If not, what are the steps to creating a duplication server for my LDAP server using a PC. I am fairly new to LDAP, and as I play around with it more I am understanding the way it functions. But I am a bit confused about duplication server. As I understand it, a duplication

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but figured this might be a good question to pose to the list before I go off re-inventing the wheel again... Has anyone, or does anyone know of, a way to directly mount or utilize and iso image file as a filesystem? I'd like to use samba to create a series of shares based on ISO images; assuming one can mount an ISO image file one could in theory serve windows

Hey everybody; I've got a problem with a Windows 98 machine on my network. I use Samba as a storage server with a folder for every user. To create network drives I use a script that will be copied to the client and then executed whenever a machine logs on to the domain. So far everything works fine. The script is being executed on logon. However, the network drive can never be found

We are running with a little over 100GB of office data, and about 200GB misc other data shared to approximately 50 users using samba across two servers acting as PDC and BDC to Windows 2000 & XP Pro clients. Also using roaming profiles and ldap backend inclusive of nss_ldap and pam_ldap for the unix side - works well except for the more recent and horribly crippling MS Office bug. Tried

I have a customer that is using 250 gig drives for his business data. I have been using rsync to keep mirror copies of his data on a second machine. In the last 3 months I have lost 2 of four drives, the last one being the system drive. I have been doing a manual switchover. Each time rsync runs, I copy my samba conf files, passwd, shadow and group files from etc. Has anyone setup a HA

Does anyone know of a good Samba-LDAP howto for Debian (Sarge) systems? I probably don't need it for my home network, but I'd like to learn how to do it anyway. My previous attempts to get it working have failed. :(

Hi, Anyone knows how to fix It? smbldap-passwd testuser Changing password for testuser New password : XXXX Retype new password :XXXX Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd line 263, <STDIN> line 2. I cannot generate the proper hash! I tried without a "mangling type" parameter, but doesn?t cause any different efect. Thanks,

Folks, I'm trying to add a network interface card to my SUSE 9.3 box, and I'm not having much luck with a US Robotics version. What manufacturer do any of you use in your machines--either 10/100MB or GigE NIC?
