Hello, I have spent the afternoon learning how to configure my routers to allow directed-broadcast with an access list, so that I can allow two different domains on different subnets to trust each other. Now I can do a broadcast ping from either subnet to the other, and I can also do smbclient -L <remote_pdc> and get the shares, from one side. From the other side I cannot. Let me

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb. Just compiled 3.0.8 on the new server (which has the same hostname), copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/lib and copied th secrets.tdb to /usr/local/samba/private. Started Samba, did 'net getlocalsid' and it

Hello, Can someone tell me how to resolve the "winbindd: Exceeding 200 client connections, no idle connection found" error in my log.winbind? I see tons of them on a regular basis. samba-3.0.28,1 squid-2.6.18 FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #1: Thu Mar 15 01:46:50 CDT 2007 Kind regards, Elvar

When I used smbldap-populate way back when I set up my LDAP server, I got two sambaDomainName objects in my LDAP tree -- one for the domain name (CORP) and one for the PDC Netbios name (CORPSRV). My Windows XP systems complain that they can't find the PDC for the domain CORPSRV. I am wondering if I even need the second sambaDomainName in LDAP at all. Any ideas? Misty

Is this setup possible? I am converting an old server to look on LDAP for its UNIX account info. I am able to auth in every way with a LDAP-only user (login, telnet, ssh, su). However, after adding the user with smbpasswd -a, the password doesn't work: [root@furnsrv log]# smbpasswd -a testuser New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Added user testuser. [root@furnsrv log]# smbclient

I as sending this again in the hopes that someone will respond. Surely I am not the only one with this setup.

OK, I just took my first non-root user live on my Samba 3.0.7 system. Printing is via cups, with drivers stored in the print$ share. This user is a local power user. She can add printers, or root can add them. Root can also print from them. If this user tries to print anything (a test page even) she gets a non-verbose error that looks like a permissions error. She can view the queues

Hello Samba people, My goal is to upgrade our Samba 2.2.9 PDC to 3.0.6. 2.2.9 was installed from an RPM, but 3.0.6 is compiled from source. No special options except --with-prefix and other location-specific ones. We are using the typical smbpasswd back-end. So I have compiled and installed 3.0.6. I have tweaked the smb.conf to reflect what I believe are the new values for 3.x. The

Hi all, I have two different domains. At one point I had them trusting eaach other but then I ruined it. Now I am trying to get them back. They both have LDAP backend. I need them bot to trust each other and be trusted by each other. Here are the steps I am following: 1. On each domain, create a computer account called the other domain: CORP: smbldap-useradd -ai FURN$ CORP:

Hi, I'm a tad confused about something. I've got a production instance of Samba running. I am trying to get a test version running on the same box, with the same SID. Without the test server running, I used "net setlocalSID <oldsid>" (the net binary is the one for the new server). Then when I issued 'net getlocalsid' it returned it. I thought I was fine.

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

Hi all, I have gotten the 'profiles' command to work for NT and Win2K profiles very well. In Windows XP, I am able to change the 'owner' but not the 'group' SID. It gives no errors but it just doesn't change them. A snippet of the profile in question is below: furnsrv:/data/samba/profiles/jon # profiles NTUSER.DAT |grep S-1-5 Owner SID: S-1-5-32-544 Group

Hi all, I have two systems using Win98 and one using Win95. These three systems do not automatically execute their login scripts. I can map the network drives manually and tell them to reconnect at login, but I am wondering why they don't execute them. I can log in, browse to my netlogon share (if I make it browseable), and execute the script manually, and it works. Well, it mostly

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:

Hi all, I've got a share called [ACCOUNTING] with the following share definition: [ACCOUNTING] path = /data/samba/shares/Accounting valid users = @acct @"Domain Admins" browseable = yes public = no read only = no force group = acct Here is the permissions on the directory: oink:/data/samba/shares # ls -ld /data/samba/shares/Accounting drwxrwxr-x 9 root acct 4096 Nov 29 09:30

Hi, I have just taken over the administration of our Samba Fileserver. Unfortantly, my colleage has not done his homework and sadly forgot keep the Samba version up-to-date. So, the first step for me would be to update from our current version 3.0.23c (SuSe rpms) to the most recent. Now I worry about some changes that could cause problems with my current configuration file. As I can not shutdown

Hi all, i have ACLs working fine on my PDC, but they do not work on a member server. Here is a summary of my set-up: I am using LDAP backend, with nss_ldap on all of my member servers. Samba 3.0.12pre1 on the PDC and Samba 3.0.14a on the member server. I have winbindd running on my member server, and it is pointing at LDAP as its backend. ?wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g both work. I am using

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who
