List, both on RHAS3 update3, update 4, Samba source code 3.0.9 thru 11 gives SIGSEGVs on make check. Installing the buggers and trying to run them gives the same. *THOUGH*. The Red Hat beta 3.0.9 srpm at fr2.rpmfind.net comples and runs "like a little sun" ("net als een zonnetje", in Dutch). Anyone compiled Samba 3.0.11 on Red Hat RHAS3/RHEL3? Not "how", just

Means "acclaim" in both Norwegian languages (there are new official rules out today for writing both of the 2 Indo-European Norwegian languages). What made me write this acclaim is the number of postings I've seen about Samba's instability - i.e. run-away processes, profiles going wrong, ACL problems and more. My (high school) site with around 80 w2k workstations, of which

Hi ! I use samba (3.0.7) with ldap backend. I have installed above system some time ago. During our migration from netware to samba i had to disable period password change and do not remeber what i have "clicked" :-/ What parameters should be "on" to enable this functionality ? greetz boka

Is possible to store the Group Policy Container (GPC) on a OpenLDAP? Is possible to store the Group Policy Template (GPT) on a Samba share? The idea is to manage windows desktop policies using the new Win200x GPOs without using an Active Directory. Any other hints?

Hi all got a bit of and odd problem with ACL. Ive read up on a few bits in the samba howto and read some threads on here about it. Im not sure if this is a bug, something ive not done, doing wrong etc so anyone that could shed some light on it that would be great. Basically the windows box handles all user account processing and during creating a script for all this it will attempt to change the

People, I came to Samba 3 or 4 weeks ago and now have a successful ldapsam 3.0.11 PDC installation for 1150+ users (around 80 Win 2000 and XP workstations) running together with a DHCP server as an "afterthought" service on a RHAS3 NAS server. I adopted/adapted my already existent Openldap (2.2.17) DSE at that site) and wrote to this list about my experiences. For example I

Over the weekend I upgraded my IRIX servers to 3.0.13 and have found many strange issues regarding the creation of new folders. When I attempt to add a new folder through the Windows side I get an immediate error dialog box stating "You may not be able to access file created in the folder X:\New Folder." When I select to continue the folder is created, looking on the IRIX side the

Johan B, please let it through+ The headers are needed. I live in the Netherlands, where the police contacts for this sort of thing are grey and unknown to me. The Metropolitan Police (London only) in England is 100% on the ball, but they're under resourced and I don't live in their "manor" (London slang for area). I'd like to push it out to as powerful an organization

hello I am using samba 3.0.11 as a PDC. Is it able to create a 'All Users' profile in the samba server so when my clients login the NT machine, it will retrieve the 'All users' profile from the samba instead of using the local 'All users' profile? Currently, i am only able to create the 'Default Users' on netlogon share for the users. Carmen

Most of my users (unfortunately me included) need to use a bloated, badly designed piece of sh^Hoftware that only works with administrator's rights (I won't say names but it's from a big german company strongly pushing for software patents). How can I assign those users Administrator's rights without phisically going to each machine? I cold put them in the 'Domain

List, documenters; I'd like to exchange notes about the official Samba 3 LDAP doco. I'd like to do this off list, since doing it on list would simply confuse and confound users wit perfectly working systems. Background: Me, Samba relative newbie, though I can get *everything* Samba-orientated to work simply by using umpteen years Unix experience. Many years as Openldap admin. With

Dear List, I found some new LDAP attributes in the latest samba.schema, that where definitely not there when setting up our environ- ment. Unfortunately I cant find any description of these attributes, especially sambaSIDList. Does anybody has an definite description of that attribute, how it is used and how it should be administered, as the latest smbldap-tools do not use it... Thanks,

Hi all, I've managed to install an ubuntu server as PDC, everything is working fine. However, i've got a few questions regarding profile ( M$ XP ) and unix accounts. 1. Roaming profile : I believed that when logging off a computer, user's profile was moved back to the server. But i can still find one. Is there anything to do for the profile not to be stored on pc ? 2. An account

Hello, I'm new to the list and pretty much a newbie to linux and samba. I'm quick learner though. I have been losing my samba share upon ocasion recently, below is a portion of the syslog from the time period that I think is when the share goes down. A reboot of the server or a restart of the smbd fixes the problem (....until it happens again) I don't know what SIGUP is or why

Ok, I'm going kinda nuts... I have a samba 3 + openldap domain, which works great for authentication, etc. I am trying to use the NTConfig.POL to enforce policies on a mix of 98/win2k and XP boxes. This is a K12 environment, so I need very restrictive policies for students, less so for teachers and staff. What seems to be happening, at least with the XP clients is that it gets the

Is the RedHat RPM spec file included with the samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz source files compatible with RedHat EL 3? In other words, are the locations for the various support directories (/var/lib/samba, /var/cache/samba, etc.) the same between the RedHat EL 3 version of samba (currently stuck at 3.0.9, I think) and the official samba.org <http://samba.org> versions? I would like to upgrade my

Can anyone suggest any apps/scripts for bulk generating passwords from real names (e.g. jsmith from John Smith) that would check for duplicated in an existing smbpasswd or passwd file and append a number to the username (e.g. jsmith1, jsmith2).

Hi, I'm following JHT's example doc off the web. I just applied a patch for the confiure.pl script for the smbldap-tools that John gave me. It now makes the sambaUnixIdPooldn object default to: cn=sambaDomainName=DOMAIN whereas the output of the configure.pl script given in Chapter 9 of the book is shown as: sambaDomainName=DOMAIN I now have the first version of the sambaUnixIdPooldn
