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

I've set up Samba on Mac OS X to do pass through authentication to the nt domain in AD several times now. No big deal, it usually just works. Now, however, it doesn't appear to be working. Note the relevant part of the transaction below (loglevel 4). Steps to replicate: a) Add pre-Win2K account with AD Users and computers b) sudo smbpasswd -j EXAMPLE -r WINSERVER -U

I have a customer that is using 250 gig drives for his business data. I have been using rsync to keep mirror copies of his data on a second machine. In the last 3 months I have lost 2 of four drives, the last one being the system drive. I have been doing a manual switchover. Each time rsync runs, I copy my samba conf files, passwd, shadow and group files from etc. Has anyone setup a HA

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

Hello everyone, I have an obscure issue that I have been so far unable to find the answer to. I have successfully mounted a windows NTFS file share using samba via the following command: mount -t smbfs -o username=<USERNAME>,workgroup=<WORKGROUP> //winserver/winpath /mnt/win It mounts just fine but performing an ls -al command shows my user (or "root") as the owner of all

Gentlemen, Samba 4, which I view open server sessions? The sessions that I mean, are the sessions of all machines and users logged in AD. In Winserver, I see the sessions through the Computer Management console / Shared Folders / Sessions. When I try to view the sessions of the Samba server via a PC with RSAT installed, it shows few results. (3 to 6 results). Thank you!

I searched around but didn't find an answer to my question, hopefully someone here knows how to fix this problem. The issue is actually pretty simple, if I use "security = user" and add a user with smbpasswd then I can connect to the share from windows 2003 server. However, if I set "security = server" then define the same windows 2003 server as the password server then I

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, 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.

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?

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
