similar to: Obtaining log level 10 for just specified user(s) (MS Word & Excel File Locking issue - still)

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 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

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

Since applying the two patches you emailed me (one for cpu load, one for MS Excel issues): All is working fine now except MS Word; don't know if it's entirely related or a separate issue all together, but figured I'd post the details and see if you can think of anything; here's the behaior: Word (apparently) creates a "~384somerandomnamefile.tmp" when a user saves, the

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

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

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

We are running with a little over 100GB of office data, and about 200GB misc other data shared to approximately 50 users using samba across two servers acting as PDC and BDC to Windows 2000 & XP Pro clients. Also using roaming profiles and ldap backend inclusive of nss_ldap and pam_ldap for the unix side - works well except for the more recent and horribly crippling MS Office bug. Tried

Hi there, I'm having exactly the same problem. If using samba-3.0.13 without ACL's, everything goes perfect. ACL's on causes the file to get marked read only. Applied the Patch for MS Excel... No results. Any ideas? If you need any info, please ask. Best Regards, Bruno Guerreiro -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Vidican [mailto:nvidican@wmptl.com] Sent: ter?a-feira, 12 de

Now (after applying patch from Jeremy), most of the problems with Excel and user's files being locked have quit. However, we're still getting some files locked out when a given smbd process hangs, it appears as though the process itself is tied up in some sort of loop or something and becomes un-responsive; the client tries to auto-reconnect and does so spawning a new 'duplicate'

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Heads up everyone: Due to the win98 explorer bug (https://bugzilla.samba.org/bug/2501), we will be release 3.0.13 on Thursday morning, March 24 (GMT-6).

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

For several months now, we've been having smbd processes which 'lock' and escalate to 99% CPU utilization effectively locking the end-user out entirely and hanging their client machines. Almost exclusively happening while the user is saving either MS Word or Excel file, and even more specifically only narrowed to a couple of users. We've tried various patches offered by

Does anyone know of a good Samba-LDAP howto for Debian (Sarge) systems? I probably don't need it for my home network, but I'd like to learn how to do it anyway. My previous attempts to get it working have failed. :(

Hi, Anyone knows how to fix It? smbldap-passwd testuser Changing password for testuser New password : XXXX Retype new password :XXXX Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd line 263, <STDIN> line 2. I cannot generate the proper hash! I tried without a "mangling type" parameter, but doesn?t cause any different efect. Thanks,

Nathan, Thanks for the tips. Most of these settings were already in place, but the ones that were not already there I set up, with the exception of the 'force group' setting. I hesitate to try this simply because many of the subfolders under the shared volume are have their access controlled by group, and I didn't want to risk preventing others from accessing their files in the middle
