Hi All, Is anybody succeed to run a configuration on a two node clusters with Samba installed on each machine? I compiled two versions on different directories (/usr/local/samba1 and samba2). At this point, I can run 2 samba's on one node in case of failure but problems are on Active Directory authentication for the Fallback node. Any suggestion! I'm running AIX 5.2 with HACMP and

I have a server running Centos 4.2 with samba 3.0.14a running and using roaming profiles in a domain setup. There is a user with 125 tmp files in his Outlook Express Folder. They date back to June of this year with different sizes from 300K to 65 meg. Is this a sign of a problem with syncing? This same user has another problem. Let's call the user jdoe. When he goes to the server

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but figured this might be a good question to pose to the list before I go off re-inventing the wheel again... Has anyone, or does anyone know of, a way to directly mount or utilize and iso image file as a filesystem? I'd like to use samba to create a series of shares based on ISO images; assuming one can mount an ISO image file one could in theory serve windows

I have Samba 3.014a running. If I use the standard profiles definition: [profiles] path = /opt/samba/profiles writeable = yes browseable = no create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 then everything works fine. But changing just the path to path = /home/%U/profiles breaks it completely. I can curious why this doesn't work. The user that is logging in owns their

... as in they dont appear to be forcing anymore anymore ? =) I've tried on two seperate machines, slightly different configs but same statements in the stanza I was testing... Trying to force 750/640 and it appeared to work quite nicely in the past.. No other mode statements around, and according to docs, force does a bitwire OR on the mode, no AND or masking. Still, with 750/640 forced,

Hello Sir, Can u help me to provide useful information about the samba. I want to ask few question which are 1)what security does samba provides from sever side and client side. 2)What auditing features does samba provides and finally 3) Is it possible to detect brute forcing attacks (such as NAT) against a SAMBA server I will be very grateful if can give me information on these.

Hi, I'm a busy sysadmin locking and unlocking user accounts. I'd like to be able to do it from my linux -kerberos enabled samba workstation. I can easily use net commands to see if a user's account is locked in the ADS. How do I actually lock it from within samba. I've written a user management system at the school that does lots of things, I'd like it to be able to do

I am using Samba 3.0.20pre1 as a DC and I want to know if there is something similar to Deep Freeze www.faronics.com (except open source) for Linux. Deep Freeze automatically compares the software installation on a client machine to an image on a server. If the client machine differs, the client is automatically synced with the server. I want to achieve this with Samba and a linux tool if

Is there anyway we can stop this 'need Employee' or other kinds of spam that seems to infiltrate this mailing list? Joe

One question and a comment--- Is it possible to setup a G4 X Server into a duplicating server for my k12 LDAP Server? If not, what are the steps to creating a duplication server for my LDAP server using a PC. I am fairly new to LDAP, and as I play around with it more I am understanding the way it functions. But I am a bit confused about duplication server. As I understand it, a duplication

Hi all, has anyone had any experience with samba3 on a X86_64 system. Are there any significant performance benefits ? cheers Stephan

I have 2 250gig drives in my machine and one has 50 gig on it and the other with my profiles directory in it has 219 gig. Is there a way to "split" my profiles directory. These are ide drives and I will not be mirroring them. My entry in smb.conf reads: [profiles] path=/data/profiles browsable = Yes readonly = no create mask = 600 directory mask = 700 profile acls = yes

Hey all, We're having some trouble saving Excel documents on our Samba Fileserver. We are moving people over to our Samba box, and have moved most of our documents over. Now, we have people opening their Excel documents, but are unable to save them. When something is saved, we see this message: Your changes could not be saved to 'document.xls', but were saved to a temporary document

List, I am deploying a number of Samba servers across a WAN. To date I have manually uploaded printer drivers from an XP client to the Samba server. But it's slow, and I systematically upload the same drivers over and over again. I'm not quite sure of the recipe, but I'm sure there must be a way of replicating all the drivers, from a central point, out to the remote servers. Copying

Subject isn't exactly samba, but samba people usually know a lot about windows bat scripting. Here's my problem: Currently our domain login script is doing this (among other things): ifmember.exe "WINDOWS-DOMAIN\Projects" if errorlevel 1 ( net use p: \\server1\projects ) This works fine. The problem is I'm moving the projects storage to a different server called server 2

While trying to solve my printer problem, I have come up with another question that Google is not helping me with. What happens to a print job after Samba submits it to Cups? Is it 'finished' even though Cups is still printing it? Is that why my users aren't seeing their print jobs, because Cups has already snatched them and Samba assumes they are done? I would much rather if

Hello, I am using samba to acces a printer on my Linux server from Windows XP Home SP2 clients. It was working very well until yesterday evening. Since yesterday, I can print from the server (with cups) but I can't print from the Windows clients. And all the shared folders are still OK. There is only printing from Windows clients which doesn't work. We changed nothing on the server

Is it possible to make samba produce a log at level 10 for only a specified user(s), I am trying (still) to figure out why Samba processes climb to 100% CPU and the user loses connection with MS Word & Excel files being locked. Have been dealing with this issue for quite some time now, but had to put it on the back burner for a while because we had little time to deal with it. Apprently only
