Hi, I have just upgraded a server from Samba 2 to Samba 3 and some of the Windows clients are taking a long time to authenticate shares (1 or 2 minutes). Eventually the username/password box appears and then when you enter a correct password, all is fine - it is just the initial authentication. This is a simple UNIX password Samba server (with NIS) and I have set it to not use encrypted

Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to make Windows NT and Samba 3 work togheter. I found an old question with the same problem I have. Samba 3 is not authenticating WinNT machines. My smb.conf is: [global] workgroup = DESQ-TESTE server string = Teste (Samba %v) interfaces = 143.106.19.25/255.255.255.192, 127. bind interfaces only = Yes encrypt passwords = No password server =

Hello, we migrate from Samba 2.2 to Samba 3.020b. We have the problem now, that some clients can not connect to the Samba Server. In the log there are messages like that: [2006/02/23 08:49:20, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(704) setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources.

from samba 3.0.9 to 3.0.13 I can not access my shares from a NT4 box as usual before upgrading. I can access samba shares from linux via mount //server/testuser /mnt -o username=testuser,password=testpass as before. Even the newest version (3.0.14a) from samba.org doesnt't help. What has happened to samba ??? Any hints ?? Thanks for your thoughts, G?tz.

Greetings all, I'm working on attempting to get SAMBA to work with a product line called CryptoCard. I *should* be able to get it to work one of two ways, either through the use of CryptoCard's provided PAM module, or through RADIUS authentication. Currently, I cannot seem to get PAM authentication to work at all. This is what is in the 'samba' file for PAM: auth

Hi! I'm looking for a way to disable a directory shared. I think that I can set null valid users parameter but I would know if a boolean parameter exists. Thanks, Fabio -- Dott.

Hi, I've a problem with "logon script" parameter: client doesn't run this script and i've no error in samba logs. I'm using samba 3.0.24 (etch) with windows XP SP2 client side. workstation was joined in domain and user login (using roaming profiles) is executed without errors. I used unix2dos tool to transform the script in dos way and if I run the script in widows with

hi! I'm studing samba as PDC (with ldap backend) and I would know: - gid and uid are useful in samba? in other words: if pdc admin knows users' uids, he can recovery some wrong situations ? Example: if a user was cancelled and then readded, if his uid changes implies some troubles with shared files? NT mantains, after deletion, association between shared file and uid user and so if

Hi again, as I am finally back working on the problem, I add the smb.conf in the hope somebody can see what I am doing wrong. Samba Version is 3.0.14a from Debian Sarge. Attached is my smb.conf - there may be some unnecessary things in it meanwhile due to too much trying, but anyways. Meanwhile there are some more clients that have problems with password authentication. One thing I noticed is

Hi! I''m studying load balancing and fault tolerance using multiple WAN interfaces. I follow the howto in http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/nano.txt but the problem is that faults detected are limited only in link between lan gateway and modem/router adsl, and none about adsl signal. Someone can tell me another howto about fault tolerance using a different method? (that solve my problem) I know

We are a primarily Linux company with a NIS backend, but we keep a couple "bridge boxes" for Windows users (on a Windows PDC) to connect to their unix accounts and access data. Under Samba 2.2, this was fairly easy with "encrypt passwords = no" turned on. But I can't figure out how to make it work with Samba 3. Does Samba 3 not support a unix passwd backend, or am I

Hi! I'm installing Debian Sarge with Samba 3.0.14a-3, OpenLDAP 2.2.23-8, smbldap-tools 0.8.7-4 ( I tried with 0.9.x version also) It isn't the first time I install a system like this but this time I encountered a problem never seen: during user insert I have an error because of smbldap-tools do not find indicated group (but group exists!). So: SambaTesting:~/install#

I'm running version 2.0 beta. During the initial installation, I configured Samba to authenticate with an NT server. It worked as expected. Now, I want to reconfigure Samba with security = user. I've set encryption = no (and insured that the NT client is sending plain text passwords), and I've removed the references in the smb.conf file to PASSWORD SERVER =. As I expected, the NT

Hi, I've setup my Mandrake 10.0 box to use winbind authentication. However, I noticed that root with local files password login fails at first try after reboot. Also there's no way I can authenticate using root when screen is locked. My nsswitch.conf looks like passwd files nis nisplus winbind Won't this first they local files then winbind? Regards, Norman

I know that tcng is old but I have a question about it. Was there ever a way to inject real traffic into the simulation, something like the output of tcpreplay? Thanks, Larry

Hi to all, I'm looking for a tutorial/howto to manage disk quota share. I found some documents about filesystem quotas using quotatool but none about quota on samba shares. In smb.conf man I found "get quota command" and " set quota command" but I didn't understand if I can use them to set share quota and I didn't find documents about it. Anyone knows a

Remote downlevel document can't be cancelled by pluto (access denied), but can
