I have a situation where some 2000 machines are unable to join the samba domain. We have about 50 machines of which two thirds are 2000 boxes. All of the 9x boxes log to the samba domain with no trouble. Of the 2000 machines we have two groups - some IBM's and some Dell's with the Dell's being a couple of months older. All of the IBM's joined the domain without problems. None of

Can anyone point me to a doc or a script that shows how to generate netlogon script on the fly and supports users having multiple groups? I tried the Perl script referenced at <http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/AdvancedNetworkManagement.html> but I believe it only supports the user being a member of one group. -- Andrew Gaffney

Last night at home, and on a second system today at work, I tried putting in the sample preexec statement contained in the smb.conf man page to check it's effect on the domain logons. Just like the preexec for the perl script it kills domain logons. As that script is right in the smb.conf man page I'd certainly expect that to work. As one final shot at this I'll post my smb.conf for

I am trying to mount a Windows share on my Linux machine at boot time. I tried using the same syntax in /etc/fstab that is in /etc/mtab, but this did not work. Here is the mtab entry: //DELL-4400/linux /root/mnt/DELL-4400/linux smbfs 0 0 Barry

I have just upgraded a RedHat 6.2 box from Samba 2.0.10 to Samba 2.2.5 in one of our elementary school buildings because we now have some w2k boxes that must log to the domain. I'm now getting an error on initializing the locking modules when I run smbstatus. I did the upgrade remotely so I don't know yet whether workstations work properly with the upgrade.

Please make windows go away. I am enjoying(even the frustrations)learning linux for the first time. So many packages and features, it's crazy. I like crazy but have a request for you guys. Is it possible to provide me with some documentation as to how to configure my server to be a PDC compared to Windows 2000 Advanced Server? I am having a hard time understanding samba because of how easy it

I have a perl script that I'd like to use to create windows 9x login scripts at login time but I cannot get the process to work right. I have RedHat 7.3 (actually the k12ltsp v2.1.0 which is a modified RH7.3) set up as a domain controller which is working well. Manually created login scripts run fine on the workstations at login. I'm using a netlogon script I found at

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, We are discussing removing the capability to chaining passdb backends. It's a decent idea but overly complicates things IMO and unless it has wide spread use, we'll probably axe it soon (voting is starting up on the samba-tecnnical ml now). To give you an example of what I mean, is anyone using something like: passdb backend =

Sorry but I've posted an incomplete message before that: I've got a big problem with my PDC (Mandrake 8.2 with samba 2.2.5): when I try to join the domain from a W2KPRO (sp3) workstation the procedure goes on well until it require to create a local account for a Domain user ... the system let me browse all the user account on the domain controller but when I try to add it reports this

I'm attempting to configure Samba with CUPS as a centralized print server. I've done this in the past - my current production server is running Samba 3.2.14. On my current production server, I have several users set up as either "admin users" or "print admin" users so that they can manage the drivers, etc., on the Samba server. In setting up my new server, I'm

I hope this isn't too confusing, but I'm confused so... We have four boxes on our network (at least that I'm primarily concerned with). A Samba v2.2.5 PDC (linuxts1), one windows 98 workstation (kmorris), and two Samba workstations (jvan v2.2.3a & mrambo v.2.2.2). We're having browse problems on the network. The server is set up to be a domain & local master, the wins

Samba PDC system drive crashed. running 3.01. rebuilt system drive - kept the hostname the same, restored contents of /etc/samba, plus /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/password PDC isn't recognizing machines for SOME machines. Users appear fine. I know that I should have gotten the domain sid previously by doing "getlocalsid" and then restored it by doing "smbpasswd -W

Have a site where the network users are connecting to most shares through group usage. Unfortunately, access to Samba is sporadic. Sometimes they connect okay, sometimes they can't connect at all. Looking at their system config, I notice that the SID's for the groups look..... odd. The users group ends in 3005.... but each user's PrimaryGroupSID is a group with a SID that ends in

Experienced a server crash on a site that's using Samba 3.01 for a PDC, using tdb database. I have all of the information to recover Samba properly, including unix accounts, etc. However, can someone point me to a resource regarding recovery of linux user accounts and passwords? Thanks....

Samba 2.2.7-3.7.2 on Redhat 7.3 Have a samba server setup that has been running for over a year now..... fairly simple configuration - it is functioning as a stand=alone server with smbpasswd backend. Everything has been working properly until recently - now randomly some directories do not display their contents. There are files in the directory, I've checked the ownership/rights on the

Hi. In a case like this, I can get strip headings that have the name "c" and the value for c. d <- data.frame(a=1:5,b=6:10,c=11:15) > xyplot(a ~ b | paste("c", c), data=d) > For more complicated examples, instead of using paste repeatedly I would like to use a function. It seems like what I really want is a macro, though. I'm not quite familiar enough

I have subscribed to this list for about a month now. I am just a MarkDown user; new to it. Using it within *Ema Personal Wiki & Epistle* for Android. I am not trying to implement this cool little light language into an app I am developing; maybe someday. I signed up because I thought I might get some MarkDown use tips. *I have learned nothing from this list.* I have witnessed a lot of

question on pdbedit - when using it for a migration - existing data is stored in tdbsam. pbdedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsam It wants to take existing machine accounts and put them into an ou=Computers.

Hello! Was hoping to get some suggestion and ideas for a samba server I will be implementing here in the next couple of weeks. I have gone through the websites documentation, but I was hoping some of the veterans of samba could maybe lend some ideas, advice and recommendations. I will try to be as detailed as possible. The samba server would server roughly 50-60 people. We have 3, maybe 4
