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

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, 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

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've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as

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

Hello, I have a question about machine accounts. I using Samba 3.0, OpenLDAP 2.1.30 and Berkeley 4.2.52 on backend on RedHat machines.

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

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. --

Hello, Specifications of the environment: Samba 3.0.13 running on Solaris 8. This is configured as a domain member of a NT4 style PDC. The smb.conf file is provided for details.

Hi, I have setup samba 3.0.7 with LDAP and NetApps Filers as our file store. We are going to lots of departmental shares, firstly we want only people from their own dept to have access to their department share, but users from other departments may need access to other dept shares, i would like to set up permissions on each dept share so a group is applied, then every user is added to the

Hi All, When trying to map my SAMBA share from WinXP, it prompted me for name and password but it failed when I used name@domain.com However, using "domain\name" worked. Any idea why my SAMBA server didn't accept this name style name@domain ? Assume: Realm (AD domain): domain.com Pre-windows2000: domain Username: name Samba server: 3.0.7 (soon will switch to latest) Am

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable roaming profiles, for a particular user, from the server side? I thought of trying to blank the server profile string in their account attributes, but of course that says 'use the default' which will be to do whatever smb.conf says. Will setting it to something nonsensical, like a space, make it think to not have one? I'd rather do

Hello, I am trying out Samba + Winbind + NSS + CIFS in a test environment, which currently consists of a PDC, a fileserver, and a client, all with samba 3.0.11 I got everything working more or less, but noticed that the uid's are different on the fileserver and on the client (resulting in erroneous file ownership on the cifs mount). This is also very obvious when doing a getent passwd. The
