Hi, I'm using samba for a while and now, on my linux computer, I need to install OpenOffice. OpenOffice is working fine with local account but failed to install with samba user. I've detected that for exemple if my domain is "TEST" and my user is "BOB", Samba create a home folder /home/bob. And when I try to install OpenOffie for this user, the installer try to

All, First off I would like to say the book "The Official Samba-3 HowTO and Reference Guide" is awesome I purchased it off Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Ok now on to my problem. I have samba installed and configured and joined the domain no problem. When I run wbinfo -u I can see my domain users, when I run wbinfo -g I can see all my domain groups, BUT if I run

Hi, I have the following directory shared for the user "pcbadmin". He/she can mount and read/write without any difficulty: [pcbdata] comment = PCB Design Files path = /home/pcbadmin/pcbdata valid users = pcbadmin public = no writable = yes Question: How can I make the same directory only readable by the rest of the users ? TIA, Ben

Dear List, while debugging the problem that users cant change file acls from windows clients, I found out that Samba (ver- sion 3.0.13 on debian sarge) tries to look up the SID (of the user who should be added to the acl) as a sambaGroupMapping in the LDAP. Does anybody can tell me: - why samba tries to match a SID of a user as a GroupMapping? This will never work as a user can never be a

Hi: My english is very bad but I will try to explain that it We need. We work at Library of Ministry of Economy.

Sun has changed the organization of their web site a lot over the years, and I just noticed that a URL included in the HOWTO is broken now. Perhaps there are others as well. In section 39.6.2 "Winbind on Solaris 9" (p. 503), Solaris 9 users are directed to download a patch from the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/findPatch.pl?patchId=112960;rev=14 But the Sun

Hi, I am using Samba 3.0.10 PDC with LDAP as password DB. Before we use smbpasswd as passwd DB and every time I need to add a machine account into /etc/passwd so that the mahcine can join the domain. My understanding for LDAP is, this step is not needed any more since we will put all machine account into "ou=Computers". But I am proved to be wrong. Is this the way Samba works? I

Hi, Say if there are DomainX and DomainY, both are not in trusted relationship. Can a Samba server join both DomainX and DomainY? I can't find any related information on Internet. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks! Yimin

We are running scripts using smbclient to get some data of NetAPP filer and we run into the output below. After doing some digging, I found that there is a incompatibility between NetAPP Data ONTAP OS and samba. Is this still the case or there is a fix for it. We are running 3.0.10 Any ideas would be great George Client started (version 3.0.10). Connecting to 169.177.18.109 at port 445

This one doesn't make any sense to me. What's worse, it seems to occasionally work and sometimes not. I am attempting to log into a domain (DOMA let's say) and I only have an account on DOMB. When DOMA's Samba PDC attempts to create a UNIX account for me, this is what happens: [2005/01/04 15:47:15, 3] auth/auth_util.c:smb_create_user(53) smb_create_user: Running the command

John, The restrictanonymous setting was the primary culprit in Ash's issue. I think he's using basically the same setup as I am; no winbind/LDAP involved. I'm thinking there's some initial handshaking that requires an anonymous connection to PDC, and it's being blocked if the restrictanonymous setting is too high. I sent a note to Ash (& the list) asking for the

Hi all, I just replaced a client's SUSE 8.0/Samba 2.2 DC with a SUSE 9.2/Samba 3.0.9 DC. Drives were giving trouble, and since that box was a first attempt at a linux DC there was a lot of room for improvement. I copied the profiles and home directories over to the new machine, chowned them to the new users. I also did extracted the securid from the old DC and set it to the new one

I have been trying to get SSO to work correctly with the following packages, and I appear I am missing something and I was wondering if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction? I am currently using the "auth_ntlm_winbind_module" for apache to try and authenticate and was hoping to get SSO to work. I have gone through all the steps on SEVERAL sites trying to figure out how

Hi all, I have a running Samba4 Server. I am able to authenticate Windows and Linux Clients very. (1) I want to use samba4 as SSO.

Hi, I?ve been reading up on SSO-based logins for the last couple of weeks. I?ve found a lot of information about it, but nothing that matches my situation. Here?s the gist of my situation... - I have a Samba 3 PDC in our corporate office as well as three remote offices. - Each remote office is in a different physical building and connected to the Corporate office either via Point-to-Point T-1

Hello, Please forgive me if this has been discussed, I did not find any references when I searched. I'm trying to replace a W2K server with a samba member server in a single ADS domain. It seems that the Fedora rpms do not support idmap_rid so I am trying to compile from the Fedora SRPM. After following the docs for building and configuring idmap_rid I get no ADS users from `getent
