similar to: To anyone successfully using NT ACLs with Samba

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

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

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

good day... well just need some good input on how to backup a samba server, and to preserve the posix-acl's.. got 1 pdc and 1 bdc running, but it seems that there isn't a good way to make a backup with acl.. nfs4 doesn't have anny good support for acl's (yet) so i tried to mount a samba share with mount -t smbfs.. no acl's there ?? so please is there a protocol/service that i

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.

Hello everybody, Is it possible to use ACL with Samba 2.0.7 ? Thanks

Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected

I'm looking for info on using posix acls in samba. I'd like them to look and feel like nt acls. I'd like to use the windows client to set the acls on the samba server. I've got the official samba 3 howto book, but can't seem to figure things out from there. specifically, in the past I've used a force group entry in combined with create modes to keep shared files access to

Hello I'm having some strange problems with samba 3.0.23d (PDC) on my FC6 if i start samba, everything works fine, but after an hour orso(some times 2 hours if there is not mutch traffic) machines and user accounts start expiring. i don't know why, but it is ?! after i do a restart, samba comes up and works again. i checked the mysql server (coz' i use pdb-sql as backend) but the

Hi, i kinda learning to setup the samba4 all thing good so far (with the nice help of the wiki's, howto's and logics) except for the dns update part. some how i can't get the dns update to work i use bind 9.7.2 in fc14. pinging the machine gives an error of not knowing the machine in the dns.. bind9 does not show anny sign of an update, nor logs the the name of the machine ?!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

hi i'm trying to start testing samba4 i used: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/LDAP_Backend/Samba_4_alpha_9_with_Fedora_DS as a start... so far so good, but i get stuck with th provision.. ------------ setup/provision \ --host-name=dev --root=root \ --domain=JORDAN --realm=JORDAN.NET \ --server-role="domain controller" \ --ldap-backend-type=fedora-ds \

just noticed the following problem.. after running samba 302rc1(as pdc) for a few day's. old SMBD pid's are left in the procces tree.. eating memory and cpu time, causing linux to overload and not function annymore. after stopping samba, the smbd pid's will stay. stopping samba the 2nd time will do the trick, they finaly disapear... so you have to stop samba twice.. ?? don't

Hi we're busy discovering samba4 at the moment. we've installed fedora-ds as ldap backend. all install's configs and provisioning went well.. (no strange errors orso) after fireing it all up we tried to add a user and this is what we got back: ----------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "./newuser", line 69, in <module>

Hello everybody! Obviously Samba as a PDC and Fileserver for w2k clients is not as easy as I first thought. Soon after setup and integration in a network a problem with the shares and MS Word appeared. Any time a file is opened with M$ Word directly from a share and edited it can't be saved. The M$ user gets the msg that the file is write-protected and on the samba side the file

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

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

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,
