I have installed lots of samba 3 servers as PDCs for little networks serving 10 users or so. I have always set up the user "root" as the domain administrator, by setting its group SID to <domainSID>-512 with pdbedit. My "root" user has usually a user SID of <domainSID>-1000 since it is the first user I add to Samba. I have never set up a username map

Hi all, I am currently following the example in chapter 2 of the Samba-3 by example book. Everything worked fine unil I start mapping Windows Domain Groups to UNIX groups. When I issue the command 'net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=root' I get the following error: groupdb/mapping.c:init_group_mapping(134) Failed to open group mapping database

Hi list, I got a strange problem here, i got 33 machines, all with Windows 2000. The thing is that "some of them connect" others don't, all with the exact same configuration. Same thing happen with users, some connect some don't. I have been looking around for a solution and found nothing. Please HELP!!! -- C?roly E. Arenas

Using Samba on Kubuntu Breezy, and Win98 on a virtual PC (VMPlayer). Everything works fine, except: When the firewall (iptables via GuardDog) is activated, I don't get any access from Win98 to my Linux shares - neither by ping nor by "connecting network-drive" - even if I allow everything that can be allowed within GuardDog (although this should have the same effects like

Hi, I have a samba server which functioned correctly. Only, since 2 weeks, the users have complained about slowness networks and the server is to 100% CPU on the initial process smbd. My version is 3.0.7 and I have a Windows 2000 WINS server for netbios resolution. The samba server use nscd and ldap for password module.

I have tried to read the documentation, but I was not able to find a clear solution to my problem. I run Samba 3.0.14a on a Debian system with Posix ACLs. I have a share on a file system that uses Posix ACLs, and I have two directories in that share. Both directories have default ACLs set, so that every new file (or directory) created under each directory (by Windows XP/2000 clients)

Hi, this is my first post to the list. I have googled a lot, and still cannot find a proper solution. I hope someone here will be able to shed some light on my doubts. I have set up a firewall using kernel 2.6.15 (Debian) that does NAT for 100 clients, and uses two different ISPs, using the howto found at http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html. I have *not*

Hello samba, I have an issue with OpenVPN 2.0 and Samba 3.0.14a. My setup consists in a routed VPN (thus server and clients are on different subnets) between a linux OpenVPN 2.0 server and some Windows 2000 VPN clients. Samba is the PDC and is a WINS server. The VPN clients work, broswing works, and I see the clients registering on the server's WINS in

I have Samba PDC and use tdbsam backend. I use the version 3.0.11, but recently I have exchanged it for the version 3.0.23c. Now I have a number of problem. Here is one of then. I wish to move one user "gad" from Domain Users (RID 513) to Domain Guests (RID 514). Now Primary group of user "gad" is "Domain Users": pdbedit -Lv gad -d0 Unix username: gad NT

I am looking for some way to grant or deny internet access (that is, changing iptables rules) based on Samba domain logon. When a user logs on, I would like to run a script that modifies firewall rules based on the group that the user belongs to (this determines if he has internet access or not) and based on the workstation's IP address (so I know which IP address to grant internet access

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Anyone interested in having the Windows remote task scheduler implemented in Samba 3 at some point ? I think it would be pretty easy work based on the registry stuff that's been done lately. If you think this would be a useful feature for scheduling services on a Samba host, let me know. Disclaimer: I've never used this feature on Windows

The motherboard in our Samba server fried. I have re-installed our operating system (SUSE 10) and was wondering what is the best way to restore our Samba server? Can it be as simple as copying the smb.config and smbpasswd files back into the /etc/samba directory? That's what I am hoping. If I just copy the smb.config and the smbpasswd files back to the samba directory will the machine trusts,

I've got a particularly inelegant setup to manage whereby we have one server attached to a fibre SATA enclosure, and another one on standby that has to be manually plugged in should the first go down. I'm trying to work out what the best way to synchronize the samba setup is, presumably mainly user accounts, across the two is so I don't have to do everything twice. Thanks in

Hi all! I have a problem setting ACLs on a remote file on a Windows XP Pro SP2 box.

I'd like to set up my samba 2.2.8a server to serve printer drivers to clients when needed. I have set up the print$ share, in which I still have no drivers. Tried adding drivers from a win2000 workstation by using "server properties" command, I can't add anything since all buttons are greyed out. The user I am using is in the printer admin group in smb.conf. I

Hi everybody. I'm having a weird behavior with my smb+ldap installation. My server is configured as the PDC for my network. All my users are attached to the domain and are working fine. Also, I'm trying to configure other web applications in order to use LDAP, the idea is that the users use the same credentials to log into the SMB domain and to log into another applications
