I am setting up a SuSe Linux Enterprise 8 server with samba ldap. SuSe comes with samba 2.*.* rpm. I need to reconfigure samba to add --with-ldapsam, so I need to remake the rpm, but i don't know where the samba.spec file is in SuSe. Also if any has been successfull setting up SAMBA LDAP, can you please send me information on how to accomplish this. Thank you

Hi all, hope everyone's evening is pleasant, We have Windows XP client authenticating to a samba server. When users try to save their work to their home folders they get a message saying "the directory is full, check to make sure that it is not right protected or corrupt". I check the permissions and check the smb.conf file and everything looks ok. As a matter of fact it work fine

Hi all, I've been fighting with joining my samba server (debian) to my active directory domain for 4 days now. The problem here is that users in my active directory domain on windows machines are not able to browse my samba shares without being prompted for authentication. I can: - Join the domain from samba server using net ads - View list of tickets when brownsing window shares with

Hello! I want to create BDC with smbpasswd backend, just because I run ldap master on the same machine as PDC and I don't think that using ldap backend will be far better for me. Only thing I don't understand: I read in howto: <quote> Machine Accounts Keep Expiring This problem will occur when the passdb (SAM) files are copied from a central server but the local Backup

Hi, My problem is that I'd like to have one GNU/Linux box with Samba installed serve multiple domains. I have 2 Domains separated from each other. Connected Samba box to both domains and joined them successfully. Running 2 smbd and 2 nmbd processes bound to the appropreate network interface, with different settings serving appropreate domans. Samba server is visible in both networks but

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

I have a file server with windows and I am creating a new Fedora Core 3 + Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3 file server... But i have many, many files that have chars like ?, ?, ? in their name... When I move the files to the Samba server, all that unicode chars are changed to ? I need a solution for that to move on, because my boss will not like to stop using that chars... Thanks for any help Cristian

Samba server: SUN/Solaris 8 Samba version 3.0.10 Domain: Active Directory with a W2K PDC My Samba server is a Domain Member Server, connected to the Active Directory Domain with the "net rpc join" unix command. All the MS-Windows SMB client from the Domain can connect an use, without any problem, the shares of the Samba server. When I use, on an MS-Windows client or the PDC, the

First, Thank you for your answers. I using the following code to try simply decode a flac file and write the decoded data raw PCM file. The resulting file is just noise and pops, so is the decoded data in a different format than PCM? struct flacData { FILE *inputFile; FILE *outputFile; char *filename; }; FLAC__StreamDecoderReadStatus flac_DecoderReadCallback(const FLAC__StreamDecoder

Hi folks, I'm the co-author of "Windows and Linux Integration," a recent Sybex/Wiley title. So I'm very much interested in what's coming next in the Samba world. And I've been watching the Samba 4 'technology releases" with interest. One nifty feature that I like a lot: the old options that specified many confusing types of server behavior have been replaced

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

I have a machine that has worked fine for years on CentOS5. kernel-PAE-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 is the last "works fine" kernel, but kernel-PAE-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 crashes at boot every time. I tried banging on the side of the monitor to no avail. All kidding aside, here are pictures of my monitor when booting 194 in case that is helpful.

Hi, I am running samba 3.0.14a on FreeBSD 6 box. I need this box to join to existing Windows 2003 domain to act as a file server to serve Windows XP clients. In the book "using samba" says to use "smbpasswd -j ..." to join the domain. But the -j option seems didn't existing. Anyone would be able to tell me what is the best way to make samba to join the domain? Thanks,

Hello, I'm looking into storing FLAC audio in Matroska and I have a few questions. 1. Can I use libflac to extract the compressed frames? Or will I need to write up a simple file parser? 2. What is required to decode the frames? From the docs I understand that you need the FRAME and you may need the METADATA_BLOCK. Thanks, Jory Stone jcsston@toughguy.net Matroska, the new,

Hi All, I'm running netbench against our samba based filer and having I believe a controller problem. When I configure the test to run multiple engines per client (about 5 in my case) and about 20 clients so all together I have 100 engines, the controller crashes. My clients are a mix of NT4, winxp and win2000 systems. If I run the controller on windows 2003, the controller simply

Hi everybody! I've been noticing some strange entries in samba/utmp. I have a lot of 00:00 timed sessions. But the worst problem is that i found some conflicting information. Since windows doesn't allow concurrent login sessions, I think utmp should not have generated the following entries. liana smb/2 192.168.0.207 Fri Sep 2 18:43 - 00:52 (06:08) rodrigobaso

Yes, I get more than 30MB/s performance. The benchmark I use (NetBench) is essentially CPU bound, such that a faster processor = faster performance. With a very fast hardware config (dual 3.2GHz processors), I've been able to hit around 100MB/s. Changing the RAM or other attributes does not buy me much, it seems that processor power is the bottleneck (at least in my case). When doing your

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
