Hi, I am posting this on the list after 2 weeks of frustrating efforts to get my XP home machine to talk to the Samba server on my SuSE 9.2 Linux box. Described below is the crux of the problem. When I do an smbclient on the Linux box I can see the Windows machine listed. However, when I do a net view on the Windows XP Home machine I do not see the Samba box. Also, I get a System 1 error on

Hi, On a Fedora box we installed Samba 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3 Accidently we've removed the samba password file. Now, we can't get access to Samba anymore. Is there a way to re-create it ? Or do we have to reinstall Samba ? BTW: We have no backup .... cheers, Andy

Thank you to all who helped me with this problem. I am now convinced the problem is not just something wrong in the smb.conf file, but must be more of a port deny issue or something. Couple of questions: Do all XP computers (including XP home?) need the 'plain-password-hack' to talk to a Samba server? Remember XP Home is different than XP Pro, XP Home can not join a domain, more like

Hi Jerry/Samba Team I have Samba 3.0.10 installed on Solaris8 server and Samba-client-2.2.10 installed on Linux Red Hat2.1AS servers The Linux servers use Samba to mount filesystems from Solaris8 server. My question is how to find out on the Solaris8 server which Linux servers are using Samba to mount from. Because it is hideous to go to every Linux server and see which Solaris8 server they are

Hello: I have set up a PDC using Samba 3.0.11 with openldap 2.2.23. I have set up a BDC as well (the smb.conf is same as those on PDC except the nebios name as "BDC" and the domain master is set as "no"). Then I try to shut down my PDC to check whether the client login through the BDC. I found that my client (on Window NT) are able to authenticated by BDC, but it keeps

Hi, Did this issue get resolved? Can someone tell me how it was resolved and what needs to be done? I am running into the same issue. Thanks, Prakash

I have tried everything that I know of. I have reviewed the services file and the swat file in xinetd.d a tun of times. It appears, via netstat that swat is listening on port 901. However when I attempt to access it via the Mozilla browser on my Fedora server (with 127.0.0.1:901 or localhost:901) nothing happens. It just sits there. However, if I access it via webmin (which has swat stored

Doesn't anyone here know how to authenticate hosts in the group 'Domain Controllers' such that you don't have to set 'ldap admin dn' to the ldap server's root dn? What's the big deal? Why is this such a secret? Everytime I ask about it I get dead silence. It doesn't seem to matter what list I am on either. Jim C. --

Hi, I have setup samba 3.0.7 with LDAP and NetApps Filers as our file store.

Howdy All, I have a problem with a machine which I am trying to connect to an existing samba domain 1. The machine WAS connected to the domain as hrennie$ 2. Removed hrennie$ ( using smbpasswd -x hrennie$ ) from the system. 3. Changed the name of the machine to hrenniedt$ ( found that having a user with the same name as the machine is not a good look ) . 4. Tried to reconnect the hrenniedt$ to

I realize this may not/probably does not have anything to do with samba per se, but it didn't happen before I upgraded/rebuilt this particular server on 3.0.7. I'll ask anyway in case somebody has seen this... I have ONE user on ONE workstation that occasionally gets locked out of his workstation with the message about a corrupt/inaccessable profile, using a temp (sorry for not

hi, i was trying to set up a samba PDC for my small network with WindowsXP and Linux clients, and when i think everything is ready, XP clients complained about a missing DNS SRV record for something like _ldap_tcp.xxx.xxx, so i added that DNS record to my DNS.. and another error appeared: the query was successful and a SRV record was found, and it points to the Samba PDC, but it also says there

Hi, We are migrating from an NT domain to a 2003 AD and using the migration tools to nicely move the users across. However, we have just realized that a user created manually can see a samba 2.0.6 server no worries, but a user that has been migrated using the Migration Tools gets an access denied. Anybody come across this one before? It's probably some bodj work around from
