I am working my way through "Samba-3 by Example". I have created all the simple samba servers with ease as I have done them in the past with trial and error... this book makes it easy now. I'm stuck. While on page 118 it says to not go further without validating. Well, The server is there and when browsing the network I can see the Samba server. When I try to connect it wants

I have been working through the processes of getting my server up...( thanks to the help of John T. !!! I am now on page 167/168. It states... "Install the file shown in Example 5.4.1 in the directory /data/ ldap." The example states the following Example 5.4.1.

Hi, I have a question about getting linux workstation to authenticate users against a Samba PDC when they log in and mount all the necessary shares. Current setup: Linux server with Samba as the PCD Windows 2k and XP workstations are on the Samba domain and authenticate all users with the Samba PDC. Wants: Linux server with Samba as the PCD Windows 2k and XP workstations are on the Samba

Hi Folks: I am in the process of moving all of our users over to our new Samba File server which runs FC3. In order to properly secure the home folders, I need to chown them to the UID of the individual user, and chgrp them to the domain users group. I know the GID for the domain users, so no problem there. Is there a way to find a list of the UID for all the users. I know that I can do it

We have an existing samba server with many userids, using NTLM authentication (stored in OpenLDAP). We would like to add many other userids, which will authenticate against an existing MIT kerberos server. Each of our customers will have either an NTLM-based userid/password, or a kerberos-based userid/password, but never both. We would like both kinds of userids to work with the same samba

Hi there, Can somebody please explain to me why Samba 3 requires 'oplocks = no' on shares for programs like Quickbooks to operate properly with multiple users, where Samba 2 didn't? Without this option, Quickbooks will complain about file corruption when a second user tries to open a file. This option, however, makes the particular share that the option is present in _very_ slow

Hi everyone!! I'm having a bit of trouble join a Samba 3 PDC with LDAP authentication. First some tips on what system I'm using: - Debian Sarge - Samba 3.0.14a-Debian - OpenLDAP 2.2.24 : Protocol v.3 Well, Now I'll explain the problem and show you some log output. When ever I try to join the domain I get the following error: --begin--------------------- # net rpc join GICOMMNET

I have made some changes to try and get the PDC working and now I am down to one thing where I believe the problem lies. All such documents on the setup show that the addition of users to the PDC should be added to passwd as well as LDAP but for my system that is not the case. I am running the listed software: Fedora Core 4 OpenLDAP 2.2.23 Samba 3.0.14a This is what currently happens when I

Does the domain administrator SID always end with -1000? I.e., if the SID for the domain is: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666 does this mean that the domain administrator's SID would be: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666-1000 ? How can I get the SID number for any given user? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org WPKG - software deployment and upgrades with Samba

I was wondering, if it's possible to set up Samba as a sort of a domain controller for Linux workstations? I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

I have two offices in one city; employees work in both of them (once in office A, the next or an hour later in office B etc.). They would like to have the same profile (i.e., if they log off in office A, they would like to have their documents, Desktop, emails etc. in the profile in the office B when they arrive there an hour later). Is it possible with rsync to construct such a "two way

Hi, This is a little off-topic,but if someone has any info, it could help me a LOT!, I am building an asterisk pbx (1.0.9) on an IBM x306 SCSI machine,my problem is that the BIOS assigns the same IRQ to the SCSI controller, and the TDM400P, i have tried several options of making the bios change the IRQ, but it will always move them together, anyone with some info about my options ? Thanks,

According to the smb.conf man page, the "dos filemode" parameter will allow a user who is not the owner of a file to affect permissions changes on a file or folder provided he has write access to that object. This does not appear to be the case. Users with write access via user or group ACEs receive an "Access denied" error when attempting to make ACL changes via windows,

Everything seems to work fine from the Master, but I have one problem with the slave. From the slave, I can do an ldapsearch and everthing is fine.

Hello List, This is very much so Samba related but I'm sure there are several people here this would relate to. wpkg is a nice add on to Samba that allows you to mass install Windows software to Windows clients machines as they log onto a Samba server. Today's offerings. I have made a simple binary rpm that installs all of the needed files for both server and client. Thought this may

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k
