I'm running Samba on a Mac OS X server, and the server is a member of a Windows domain (Windows 2003). Samba is setup for security=domain permissions. I have opened up a file share to the Windows machines named AppDeployment. I'm able to open \\xserve\AppDeployment on a Windows server, and am able to create directories and copy files in there. (Btw, when i attempt to "net

Hi, I would be very grateful if anyone could give me a bit of help with this. I am trying to run Samba 3.0.5, as distributed with Mac OS X server 10.3.8, on an Apple Xserve. Things were working beautifully until I had problems with an IP address change and had to reinstall everything. At present, the situation seems to be that the smb protocol is operating, since I can make an smb

Through my Server Admin, a graph of Samba "connected users" shows that the number of smbd server processes grows and grows without end -- processes never time out/log out and die. This was no problem under light usage, but when I moved a heavily used share to the server, the number of processes spun out of control. What made it all worse was that many of the supposedly dormant

I've attached an Apple XServe to our Windows domain, and have successfully setup all the Active Directory integration. I've been able to expose a file share to Windows via Samba from the XServe, but it's still requring a guest account login. For example, when i try and open <file://\\xserve\AppStorage> \\xserve\AppStorage from the Windows Explorer, it shows a username/pwd

Hello List, I have a bit of a strange problem with an OS 10.3.3 XServe (Samba 3.0.2) that I've inherited from a previous sysadmin ;). It's a bit hard to describe but I'll do my best and include applicable log files and the smb.conf. Ok, first of all this machine is bound to our Active Directory domain and authenticates users there (security = ads). It uses the Windows 2000 DC

I have a mac osx 10.2.3 as a server, anyone unfamiliar with it, it uses admin as main user. root is still on the system. Admin is admin of the password server which is required to login to samba. therefore root can't be the one to join. yet admin doesn't have rights to modify smbpasswd. I know the smb.conf config should work. I have added the users and machines using smbpasswd

Hi, I am running a Panther Server as a domain controller with a Mac Tiger Server (all latest patches) as the location of home folders and group shares. I have one group of users who keep losing connection to the server (both home and group folders). The can only reconnect to the server if they logoff the XP client and login again. I have loads of other XP users and Mac clients who do not have

Hi everyone, I am struggling to promote a samba 3.0.10 standalone server to a BDC, because it cannot contact the PDC which is on a different subnet connected via a VPN. Having lost several days I believe this may be because it Samba is broadcasting WINS domain discovery requests on its local subnet, which of course it not reaching the PDC as broadcasts are not sent across the VPN. The PDC is

I have a PDC which is a Sun280R with Solaris 8 running PCNetlink2.0 (effectively a WindowsNT4.0 server) I want to join a Apple G5 with MacOSX10.3.3 (Samba 3.0) as a domain member of the above PDC. It will not allow me to do this and has lots of "master browser - unknown" in the logs of the Apple. I have the IP address in the same range as the PDC and have the netmask set the same

--Apologies if you get two copies of this message - it was submitted for moderation and hasn''t appeared on the list in two days, so I''m resubmitting. Hi all, Just a quick question. Is it possible to utilise an Apple Xserve RAID as an array for use with ZFS with RAID-Z in Solaris? I''ve seen various mentions of ''zfs'' and ''xserve

Hi I''m using princexml pdf generation in one of our apps and bump into this very weird problem. On our ubuntu box and local machines (MacBook Pro) pdfs are generated flawlessly. On the production xserve (running the rails app in production mode on a mongrel cluster), a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, strange things start happening. The following sections give back nil values in

I've set up Samba on Mac OS X to do pass through authentication to the nt domain in AD several times now. No big deal, it usually just works. Now, however, it doesn't appear to be working. Note the relevant part of the transaction below (loglevel 4). Steps to replicate: a) Add pre-Win2K account with AD Users and computers b) sudo smbpasswd -j EXAMPLE -r WINSERVER -U

Hello! I'm trying to install Centos 6.4 64 bit on this Xserve: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/xserve/specs/xserve-intel-xeon-2.8-eight-core-specs.html I got a bootloader from: http://blog.christophersmart.com/2009/07/23/linux-on-an-apple-xserve-efi-only-machine/ as none of the official Centos releases (full, minimal, network 64 bit) boot on this machine. They all crash when loading

I am considering a G5/XServe for a conferencing system. I need to put a TDM card in the machine for timing. Is anyone out there using Asterisk on Mac with zaptel drivers? I am looking at using Linux for the OS. If so what is your experience? Have a great day! Geoff

I have samba running on an XServe under OS X 10.3.8. Recently moved some files over from a Compag server which were created and accessed by a 16-bit application originally written for Windows 3.1.1. The application sees all of the previously created file names truncated and doesn't recognize links to embedded image files. I have searched the documentation and can't find a specific

Hey all, We are currently using an Apple XServe G5 as a PDC for 150 Windows XP Pro machines. Everything worked well (sorta) under OS X 10.4 (Tiger) but when we upgraded to 10.5 (Leopard) it just fell apart. I reinstalled the OS several times and tried everything I could to get it to work properly (i.e. log in more than 20 machines at once). We have even opened a ticket with Apple to

Running into a strange bug using the mongrel upload progress plugin handler, sitting in front of a simple mongrel. The bug appears on an old Xserve (mac OS X 10.3.9 powerpc), but not on my macbook pro, or even a generic 686 linux box. http://pastie.textmate.org/98341 The gist of the pastie above shows that attempts through the browser and curl are actually hitting the filesController, as
