similar to: Automount Windows filesystems with dynamic mapping

I'm working on a client setup for thin-client machines in an AD with about 2000 users. One of the requirements is that the server (an LTSP box) not store each and every user's home directory. All of our users have a Home Folder setting in their AD object, and I'd like to use samba to mount that as "home." What works now: smbd, nmbd, winbindd. Compiled Samba 3.0 onto a

This is primarily an autofs issue, but I wanted to get the problem and the workaound into the Samba lists for reference. I use RHEL 5 and RHEL 6 these days, and take advantage of CIFS automounting with the built-in Samba pacakges. The problem still occurs with the more modern cifs-utils that's been separated out in more recent Samba 3.6.x and Samba 4 toolkits as well. I use a very simple

All, On our main file server, all our home directorys are automount points. So /home isn't a real filesystem area, it points to a bunch of different home areas based on the auto.direct table. Example: /home/user1 mounts from --> /export/home1/user1 /home/user2 mounts from --> /export/home2/user2 /home/user3 mounts from --> /export/home2/user3 /home/user4 mounts from -->

Alle, I'm following the instructions in section 19.3.3.2 of the docs @ http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-nfs-config-autofs-LDAP.html, but I cannot add the following entry in LDAP: dn: automountMapName=auto.home,dc=subaru,dc=nao,dc=ac,dc=jp objectClass: top objectClass: automountMap automountMapName: auto.home After looking at the schemas in /etc/openldap/schema,

Is there a way to configure the latest version of Samba to automount shares when a Linux client logs into a Samba PDC? I have searched high and low trying to find an answer to this and the only information I have found is using pam_mount (which I have yet to get working correctly) or NFS. When searching for an answer, I came across comments such as "NFS is the best way to mount shares in a

Hi all! As a long slackware user I'm a total noob in pam and I'm banging my head against a wall trying to set it up correctly to play nice with slackware's default pam configuration. One of the things I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to logon while the ad domain is available and have pam_mount automount the samba shares and to be able to do an offline logon and skip the

On my CentOS5 boxes the automounter fails after the last update to autofs.x86_64 1:5.0.1-0.rc2.177.el5 No update is seen on CentOS6 and things still work there. The home directory of users is setup using an auto.home map which is distributed using NIS: * fsutrecht02:/export/home/& /nobackup -noacl nasutrecht01:/nobackup/& /snapshot -ro fazant:/home_backup/ This maps a users

Howdy folks - I have an automount hierarchy "/data", with 30 or so mounts defined across various hosts on my network. A few of these mountpoints are temporarily off-line, but still appear under /data, due to the --ghost option. When I try to access the top level \\server\data from a Windows client, the directory listing in Explorer never returns because smbd is trying to stat

Something very scary just happened to me while I was creating a ksh script to rsync mulitple FS between two hosts. Here is the script, notice the 'i' at the end of rsync line, it got put there by mistake. You also see the contents of $FSLIST cat'd below the script. When I ran this, it started to delete files in root's home directory and place files from the fist FS,

Hi Marco, You will hit muliple problems, most can be solved. Im installing a new member here with samba 4.8.5 and building new samba 4.8.6 atm. ;-). Im (trying to ) fix this also again in this new setup. Below it a bit of what i know. > Client are in DHCP, so it is hard to use 'normal' NFSv3 mount, eg > security by IP. If they register ( or are registered) in the dns correctly

I am running Samba ver 3.0.37 on Solaris 10 (sparc) as a PDC with LDAP for the backend for both samba and unix accounts. Assume the samba SMBPDC is called "PDC." I have also set up a trust with an Windows domain- lets call it WINDOMAIN- (the PDC for the Windows domain is Win 2003 but is in mixed mode for backwards compat.) The SAMBA domain trusts the WINDOWS domain, not not vice

I am stumped here. I am a novice at using samba to do MS Active Directory stuff, but I have read everything I could find in the HOWTO collection and on the linux.samba cache of the list and am still stuck. A bit of background... I have set up a Windows 2003 server as a domain controller here and configured it to be the DNS for a ficticious domain for internal use only. The domain functional

I am running Samba ver 3.0.33 on Solaris 10 (sparc) as a PDC with LDAP for the backend for both samba and unix accounts. I have also set up a trust with an Windows domain- lets call it WINDOMAIN- (the PDC for the Windows domain is Win 2003 but is in mixed mode for backwards compat.)

Hi, Is there a way to connect to the Windows user home directory share from a Samba client automatically? At the moment I can manually connect to the share using "mount -t smb" using the usual hidden/protected credentials file. Obviously this needs editing every time my domain password changes (as enforced by policy). However, since getting the workstation to authenticate me from the

I've read everything I've found on tcpdump-smb, and still can't get it to work right. I downloaded the binary from samba.org, and executed the command like so: (The command belowis directly from the README.smb that comes with tcpdump-3.4a5.tar.gz) ./tcpdump -i eth0 port 139 host 192.168.0.1 tcpdump: parse error How do I use it to get the decoded smb output? BTW: I also

Hi! I am using mainly Samba 3.5 on CentOS, and I was very pleased with idmap_rid backend for SID-to-RID mappings. But on Solaris 10, I can only use 3.6 because OpenCSW ships only 3.6. Problem is, things are changed and are not working as expected... Here is my config on RHEL Samba 3.5: [global] workgroup = WINDOMAIN realm = WINDOMAIN.LOCAL server string = localserver

net use z: \\sambapdc\share1 <file:///\\sambapdc\share1> However I still get prompted for a user name and password. I don't seem to have a way to force the "net" command to connect anonymously. If I can force an anonymous connection from Windows, then I should be OK. (Again, this share does not contain information that needs much protection.) Thanks
