Hi all, We have Samba 3 up to and including 3.0.9 working fine using LDAP for the backend. XP and 9X logons work fine. On upgrading to newer versions (inc. 3.0.11, 3.0.14a and tried 3.0.20), in the same configuration, 9X logons stop working properly - they authenticate, but fail to get information such as groups and user's full name. XP still works fine. We use KIX for our logon

Hi chaps We're using the mbox_snarf plugin to snarf mail from /var/mail/%U to ~%U/Mail/inbox and using dotlocking on all accesses. This is on Solaris with NFS mounted home directories. We're getting a few (very few) of these for just a couple of users: Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy Which, having searched, I see some discussion of in the

Hi Well we are now using HP instead of Dell and have hit a major hurdle. We dont seem to be able to kix any of these boxes. I have been most recently trying on a dl585 and the issue appears to be that the kix kernel does not detect any nic. Its strange as the box can be installed using iso's and the nic appears as eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706 1000Base-T (A2) PCI-X 64-bit 100MHz

Hi all! Is there a way of logging date/time/workstation/username for every logon and logoff in a samba domain? I realized that it isn't possible to use log level auth for this purpose. I tried to use connections to netlogon service written on the logs. But I realized that those connections are closed before the user logs out. The main idea behind this is to have information enought to

Hello there I'm also trying to get Sun Directory Server 5.1 (from Solaris9) to work with Samba 3. I've loaded the DS5 schema file (from Samba 3.0.10) into Sun DS5, however when Windows attempts to authenticate against Samba, Samba seems to be sending an invalid request off to the Sun LDAP server: [27/Jan/2005:12:22:39 +1100] - Entry

Hi, I've been trying to find something on this in the docs but have failed so far - perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong place and if so please feel free to reply with a link. My issue is that files create on a samba share in windows are fine. The file is created and is accessible by everyone straight away. But, if I have a unix script create a file on the samba share at the server end

Hello all, I have the following problem: I wish to access the NFS shares through Windows. I want guideline on the following issues : 1.One of the solution to above problem involves sharing the same share(directory) using Samba server and NFS server.But won't this give rise to conflicts with respect to access permission bits of that particular directory being shared.

Hi Folks: I am in the process of moving all of our users over to our new Samba File server which runs FC3. In order to properly secure the home folders, I need to chown them to the UID of the individual user, and chgrp them to the domain users group. I know the GID for the domain users, so no problem there. Is there a way to find a list of the UID for all the users. I know that I can do it

So i have gone through the archives and see a lot of people asking if samba can use edirectory as a source for user passwords. No i'm down the same road myself =D my company is using edirectory 8.7.3 on Solaris and redhat enterprise linux 3. the samba server only needs to talk to the redhat edirectory server though. From the turtorials that i have read a lot pf people hook up edirectory

When I have fileserver with many users homedirs (but all users from AD through winbind), how can I autocreate /usr/home/blabla, when I have just create user blabla in AD? Samba required existed directory to connect to resource, preexec= starts only after succesful connection. I'd like to automate process - when I have just create user blabla, when it connect first time to their homedir at

I have SAMBA 2.0.7 running on about 20 Solaris 9 servers around the US. One location is experiencing interruptions for Windows XP clients who map to the SAMBA server. There are no known changes to Solaris or SAMBA to explain the change. The problem is very random. I have seen postings that discuss how XP uses ports 139 and 445. Is there a way to block port 445 in SAMBA 2.0.7? The

Hello All, I am sure that this has been asked probably a million times on this list, but for our particular setup, I need to see if there is a way to have Samba authenticate its users based upon the Linux accounts password file? The reason is that we have other applications all working together and most of them are also using the Linux password file which make the process of maintaining

hi, weird thing: i thought when commenting out "delete user script" and "ldap delete dn" nobody is able to delete users from the domain. what happens: users are deleted, to be more specific their samba attributes are deleted but not their posix values. i won't let our admins delete users from our domain becaus we have another management to add/delete users to/from a

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

Hi, I'd like to convert a number of userpassword ("posixAccount", crypt-ed) and create a ldif to update my Ldap server database. I've seen smbtools scripts in Samba sources but it seems there no tool to do that in there. What should I use to accomplish this ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski <mkur@poczta.gazeta.pl>

Hi, We are testing AD migration and have come across an issue with login script. The current (pre-ad) login scripts is located in /home/samba/netlogon and the login script is KIX32.exe. Post the migration, we copied the contents of the /home/samba/netlogon to /var/lib/samba/sysvol/lin.group/scripts. When the users (both standard users and domain admins) login, the login script (KIX32)

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic.
