Hi all, I'm trying to get a Samba server (which is a member of a Samba controlled domain) to store WinXP Pro user's profiles. The XP user is authenticating against a 2003 Active Directory server, which then tells it to store it's profile on my Samba server. The 'profiles' share exists and is writeable and under some circumstances we can get profiles to be stored there,

Hi all, Can you use Samba to store an XP Pro profile? I'm running Samba 3.0.2a (compiled from source) on Solaris 9. Compiled it against OpenLDAP 2.1.30 and MIT Kerberos 1.3.3 (both compiled from source from fresh downloads today). Am now trying to get Windows XP Pro to store profiles on to this box. The smbd and nmbd seem to run fine. Every time XP Pro goes to create a user's

Hi All, We appear to have a CUPS problem that is breaking our (LPRng) based printing. We now have loads of errors of the form:_ [2007/03/08 12:21:36, 0, pid=23877] printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused filling up the log.smbd file We using printing=lprng in smb.conf, and there isn't (nor has there ever been) any

Hi all, We're still suffering here with odd performance issues on our Samba 3.0.24 install here on our big chunky Solaris 9 box. The user perceived issue is slow performance (whilst browsing in Windows Explorer, or opening files from within applications etc.etc.) The obvious symptom on the server is a collection of smbd's at the top of the 'top' listing. 4 or 5 or so taking

Hi all, I'm running 3.0.6 on IRIX 6.5 (compiled from sources) Runs fine for almost all purposes. But I thought I'd have a look at the extra Samba-3 printing facilites today, and they've thrown up some real issues. 1st point. I still haven't managed to get to the bottom of this one, but I can't always add a printer drive to a Samba-served printer. I've been

Hi all, I'm using Samba 3.0.6 (on IRIX 6.5). This is just a 'let you know what I've discovered' message really. I've just installed upgrade a laptop here to SP2 of Windows XP. It then started failing to make network connections. After much fiddling about, I tracked it down to DFS shares. This PC can now connect to the DFS root OKay, but doesn't recognise the entries

Sorry if this is an FAQ...I have seen reports of this problem on several mailing lists, but never a solution. I have used Samba on Solaris for years, currently 2.2.1 on Solaris 9. Trying to upgrade to 3.0.6, with no luck on 2 different Solaris 9 systems. It compiles and installs OK, but clients can't connect. Not only Win2k and XP PC's, but smbclient -L on the same machine

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped. (mostly) Connecting to shares still works. Navigating the tree till works. Changing (DOS) attributes still works. But actually opening files and reading the contents doesn't work. The client just times out (Win 3.11, and

Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

I have samba 3.0.4 set up as a PDC and have a problem with using "force user" with thie following share: [shared] path = /usr/local/samba/shared write list = usera, userb, userc force user = usera guest ok = true If I try to write a file from an XP system as usera I get an "Access is denied" failure. If I take out the "force user" line there is no

Hi all, Having just upgraded our IRIX 6.5 servers from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8a, we're now having trouble with the DFS shares that it serves to our site. Browsing (from 'Start|Run' \\servername) shows the folders we've set up. Double clicking on these allows us to go into them and see the DFS pointers. Double clicking on these produces:- \\net\user\homes refers to a location that is

Hi there, And thank you for your info. Most useful. The problem is that the time is WRONG on one of your machines.

I have an application than makes use of the "lpq command" and uses the %U parameter in the command string. The application returns a personalized queue list based on the value of %U. This technique worked well in older versions of Samba (circa RedHat 8), but I have run into some trouble with Samba 3. The issue appears to be twofold. 1) The lpq command is now run from the

Hi all, I had the following line in my smb.conf with which to log access to the home share when users logged in: preexec = /bin/echo \"%u logged in to %m at %T\" >> /var/log/samba/logons.log Since updating to LDAP however, it's stopped working and I suspect that smbldap cant handle the % substitutions for user, machine and time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If

Hi all, We've recently upgraded our main production Samba server (Solaris 9) to 3.0.24 (compiled from source) We're now getting a spate of problesm which look like:- [2007/03/19 12:02:11, 3, pid=436] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X_spnego(691) NativeOS=[Windows 2002 Service Pack 2 2600] NativeLanMan=[Windows 2002 5.1] PrimaryDomain=[] [2007/03/19 12:02:11, 3, pid=436]

Fellow Samba Folks, I am trying to setup Samba version 2.2.8a. I would like to authenticate the users with their NIS password and not use a smbpasswd file on the Samba Server. I also want to use the encrypt password feature. The clients will be using XP or Win2K os. Is this possible or do I have to find a Windows Domain Server. Thanks Rob Kennedy EDS UNIX MC/R&D 586 986-8175

Hi Samba people I saw this as a problem in the archives about a month ago but no solution ? I'm running samba 2.2.10 on Solaris 8. We have a script to replace /usr/bin/passwd which changes the NIS passwd and then uses smbpasswd to change the user's smb password to the same thing. Some users are getting : NIS password changed for diane on cauchy machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password
