similar to: Can Samba Be a Backup Domain Controller to an NT4 PDC?

Hello people, and thanks for this list :) I have a problem with samba, but first let me tell you the overall thing. I want to migrate my win2k print server to a Samba3 one ;) My willing is to make this print server available for our domain users. Thus, I decided to use these global settings security = server server = myPDCServer My problem is that I can't make it work, all I get is an

I want to access files that are shared by

Hi, I already send the list an email about users not able to manage their print job (pausing, resuming and cancelling). Below is typical error I get in my logs : [2005/10/27 12:24:31, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_job_delete(339) Unable to cancel job 27827 - client-error-not-authorized I quote Jerry from a previous mail exchange : "The current print security checks for removing jobs

Hi all, I just saw that my users don't have the right to manage their own printing job (pausing, deleting...) . I saw that a "CREATOR OWNER" token seems to do this job, but i'm not sure how I can implement it with my Samba box. Because "CREATOR OWNER" doesn't seem to be a regular NT4 group. Has somebody any advice with it ? Cheers :) -- Joris De Pooter

I've been reading the SAMBA documentation at: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/upgrades.html#id2600749 But I just need some confirmation since this is our primary server, and I'm not fully confident about what I read. SITUATION: We currently have a Samba server running as our Primary Domain Controller which is authenticating against a local LDAP database. The

A client has an existing NT4 domain with several NT4 servers. Two of the NT4 Servers function as a PDC and a BDC. We are installing Samba-3 on SuSE 9.0 Pro as a PDC with an LDAP backend, and decommissioning the NT4 PDC at the same time. So far, so good. We can also rebuild the old PDC hardware as a Samba-3 on SuSE 9.0 Pro BDC. Unfortunately however, the NT4 BDC cannot be removed from the network

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin

Hi all, I had been trying to use "map to guest = bad password" to map users from other domains to guest to allow only guest access. But when I try to access the samba server from another domain, I get an error saying that it is not authorized from that machine. I am attaching the smb.conf. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. [global] idmap uid = 70000-200000 idmap

I would like to know the options I need in my smb.conf to have for setting up a Samba 3.x Backup Domain Controller when using LDAP. What I am confused about is reference made in the smb.conf man page to "idmap". From the man page and Samba how-to documentation, I understand this "idmap" reference to only be used for member servers and backup domain controllers that

Hi Im looking to config a BDC with ldap. It seems the connection with ldap primary server works, but Im confused with the shared folders. I understood when you creates a BDC needs to put the same global information: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = DOMAIN-PDC security = user enable privileges = yes interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 10.0.1.0/24 10.0.0.0/24 server string =

I recently suffered the misfortune of a corrupted winbindd_idmap.tdb file on my Samba PDC. Since we run several other Samba servers (file, print, proxy, etc.) as well as around 50 Win32 clients, the recovery and clean up was a pain. I'm glad we do not have 1000 clients... To this point I was not running a BDC. I realize now that this was probably a bad thing. However, in addition to adding a

Hi, Can someone help me get "net rpc vampire" in one of its forms working. The objective is to migrate from an NT4 PDC to a SAMBA 3.0 PDC using LDAP as a back end. I am trying to migrate the user and machine accounts across in a lab environment, separate from the main network (I have replicated the PDC to do this). I have samba-3.0.20b built from the samba team source RPM on Fedora

Hello Samba, I have a question and I can not find it on the web. I have a share and that works fine but there as files in it I want to hide. (same share as the webserver) I want to hide the *.php files. My question is"How do I do that?" Subdirs is already hidden but the files in the root/dir of the share not. The conf file is included. Kind regards, Martijn Zuiderwijk --

Hello to everyone in the list, i have a IPCop firewall with vpn service running and just one roadwarrior (xp sp2 pc), everything is fine, but when the remote pc tries to connect (or just view) to the samba file server shares there is no accessible. The other clients of the lan are all visibles. Is there any way to view and share the samba file server through the ipcop vpn or i need to setup a

Hi, I run a Fedora 2 box with Samba 3.0.10 as a domain member. The PDC is a Win server with AD. Running winbind, all domain users and groups are visible on the Samba box. To grant a special group of domain users access to parts of a samba share, I would like to - add a *local* group on the samba box (*not* in AD!) and - add some *domain* users to this new group. Unfortunately the trick of

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is there any good reason to run Winbind on an Samba LDAP PDC? I've never used winbind before and I'm wondering if there is a reason I should consider learning. I suppose one would be better server debugging.

Hi I have just configured a test machine to use winbind and samba so that I users can authenticate against my Win2003 SP1 AD controller. Everything seems to work great but I cannot seem to access any SAMBA shares that are created on the Linux machine. I constantly get asked for my username and password. I am trying to connect to the SAMBA share from a Windows XP client. I am assuming that the

Hi, (this will be a long post) currently we got a working setup of one PDC in our HQ and five BDC in our branch offices, all backed by LDAP. PDC is LDAP master and all branch offices are configured as syncrepl. This setup was more a playfield for me, which 'suddenly' went into production by business needs, you know the deal... The setup does a fine job, but there is no failover of any

I currently have a setup of 1 NT 4.0 PDC server and to SUSE boxes sharing via a samba share. I seem to have to make 5 different usename/password databases. 1 for NT, 2 for each SuSe box (One Linux and one Samba). Is there a way to have 1 or maybe two databases to update? I've read about LDAP on other connections but I'm a little confused as to what is the best approach. Oh
