Hello, I'm trying to setup a Samba with ACL support. Everything is working fine BUT I have a problem when I try to change permission on a share from a Windows XP/2000 environment. When I select a directory and goes on the "Security" tab and change the permissions (for exemple set write for user xyz), it changes the ACL for the directory but it doesn't change the subfolders

Hi there, With the new scrutinization by auditors on account policies and auditing, how can Samba be SOX compliant? Using 3.0.14a-sernet on Suse 9.1 - ldapsam Specifically, a couple of things seem to be lacking: 1) Logon/Logoff times are not being recorded The last logon time recorded in my ldap entries are pre-nt4 migration. 2) Do the Audit Policy values in user manager have any effect? Are

Sorry, if this has been dealt with before, but I couldn't find it. I tried installing openldap 2.2 + samba 3. Currently I only have one install of openldap 2.0 and samba 2.2 running. Now, it all looks quite good, but the smbldap-tools do not add the necessary structuralobjectClass entries, so using the tools fails. I was able to manually change the first populate - which could be exported

I would like to set special permissions (ACL) when pam autocreates my home dirs in samba. I think i should use a script for that. My question is: how can I make pam run a bash script after it creates the homedir? Thanks Cristian

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

Hi, my log is full with etries like this: Unable to load NLS charset utf-8 utf8 support is build into the kernel and selected as default nls page. testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf -v|grep charset : dos charset = CP850 unix charset = UTF8 display charset = UTF8 so whats wrong? regards julius

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

Hello, how can I change the user-passwords correctly in my OpenLDAP during Windows-password-change? My problem: The script does only change "userPassword", but not the field "shadowLastChange", so my unix-passwords expired. unix password sync = yes passwd program = /etc/samba/scripts/ldap_userPassword_change %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *Success*

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

Hi All, I'm trying to get samba to work with a CUPS printer setup. Unfortuantely I'm falling over at the first hurdle.

I've installed the following smb.conf file:- [global] load printers=yes printings=cups printcap name=cups passdb backend = tdsam [printers] comment = All Printers path

Hi. A question on a feature that interests me... Can I specify samba to handle the dot files in our linux samba server as hidden files in windows? It's quite ugly seeing all the hidden unix files .* visible on windows... -- Sensei <mailto:senseiwa@tin.it> <pgp:8998A2DB> <icqnum:241572242> <yahoo!:sensei_sen>

Hi, I'm trying to setup IMC (idealx management console) to give our windows admins some nice toy to play with, but I have problem to make it work. I can log in after I authentificate as Administrator, but, I can't modify any LDAP entries, as that fails with unsufficient privileges due to the IMC trying to bind to LDAP as logged in user (Administrator), instead of something like

Hi, we just upgraded to samba 3.14a from 3.12 I guess. Now does anyone have working profiles with XP? I looked around on the net, and there seems to be a problem, still or again... With the previous version installed it worked well. Jan Kellerhoff
