similar to: Inherit Owner Question Folder Rights

hello I've been reading the thread (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113286376900001&r=1&w=2) and I have the same limitation with WINS in a PDC/BDC. That's why I have the following (experimental) setup: PDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: master ldap BDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: slave ldap I configured some of my XP clients to use both WINS servers

Hi, How user can modify the owner of file if he?s not an Admin. thanks

Hello fellows, Does anyone of you has found the hack to permit win xp home edition to join a domain controller. I found somewhere on the net a software that does this. But it cost 145 $ US, so like the upgrade... ( the only difference in that i will not give the money to Bill Gates) My problem is with the password modification. Every times someone does change his password, he has to go onto the

Hi, i've just migrated from nt4 to samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 with tdbsam, running on Centos 4.4 The net rpc vampire went fairly smoothly. Now that samba is running as the PDC (nt4 machine has been laid to rest) i am having trouble renaming computers in the domain. If i try this from the windows workstation (XP Professional) i get access denied. I use "root" or administrator which is

Hello, I got this problem: I want to mount a directory without providing a login/password [indicaf$]. I thought that "guest ok = yes" would be sufficient. But it not works. What option is the right one to open a share to everyone without a login box in windows ? Thanks. This is my smb.conf (samab v3.0.7): tccwebcom# more smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from

I am using a .bat logon script (the same for all users) and it avoids that I have to configure each user manually. But now I have to run a command that requires administrator rights on two files, and the command I write in the .bat file doesn't work. Do you know how to run the logon script as the local machine Administrator? After all, the logon script is on the server and only me can

I would like some clarification on Winbind's capabilities. I have winbind up and fully functional. I can use wbinfo -g, wbinfo -u, etc.. I would like to use winbind to correlate sids to uid on filesystems mounted with smbfs or cifs. In reading further I see lots of information about doing this on EXT3 (or Linux filesystems that support ACL). Perhaps, I had misunderstood the purpose of

Since we're on the subject of Samba over the WAN.... (BTW, I'm running three offices with a Samba 3.0.9 PDC and two Samba 3.0.9 BDCs over an FreeSwan based WAN and it works just fine. The WINS server is a must in my book though.) Last Thursday and Friday, one of the remove office's WAN lines went down. While the outages were significant, nothing major happened because of it. But,

I have been testing with openldap_2.2.13-2 and have experience on 2 occasions lockups where the ldap server does not respond (slapcat will just hang). I have upgraded to openldap_2.2.13-4. Is there a recommended version of openldap for SambaPDC? Does anyone have a system in production using openldap_2.2.13-2 or openldap_2.2.13-4? I'm currently using samba3-20b any recommendations for a

hello all, im trying to figure out the precedence of security parameters in smb.conf. i know that settings in specific shares take precedence over settings in global; 'invalid users' takes precidence over all other security settings. but others im not so clear on, such as: does 'read only' take precedence over 'write list'? or do later entries simply overwrite earlier

Is there a way to change SAMBA Domain SID? My SAMBA PDC Server hard drive crashed. I have created a new install with new Samba PDC Server. I know my old Domain SID. Is there a way to change the New Domain SID to original SID? I have read losts of thread here. I have tried "net setlocalsid SID" command on the SAMBA PDC Server. But, that did not change the Domain SID. I have

We're running Samba 3.0.4.0 on AIX 5.2 and I am using the create mask value in the smb.conf to try and set the default permissions but I can't seem to get the values right. I want the default permissions to be rwxrwx--- Setting the mask to 770 gets me rwxrw---- I've tried several options but can't seem to get the execute value on the group. If someone can either let me know

Hello. In the Samba by Example book theres a section called "Effect of Setting File and Directory SUID/SGID Permissions Explained", that shows an example of the effect of SUID/SGID bits. The SGID bit when setted in directories makes the files inherit the group owner, but I couldn't make the SUID bit on directories work, making files inherit the owner. The

hi i've been sucessfully using samba 3.0.0 and win2k/xp clients in a domain if i try to add a win2k/xp workstation in a samba 3.0.1 controlled domain (with the same smb.conf as the 3.0.0 PDC), i always get "no mapping between account names and security ids was done" the same workstation can enter a 3.0.0 controlled domain with no problems ! machine accounts were also created so

Hi all, If I have a linux server running samba for filesharing and I use NFS to make these shares available on another linux server that also runs samba to share the same shares will the locking still work properly? I can use this to get around an issue with multiple authentication domains and I suspect NFS is less chatty than SMB anyway so will mean a peformance win as well across the WAN. Can

I use winbind+AD for single sign-on to many Linux machines, and the Linux hosts automount home directories on one Linux file server. I am faced with a need to synchronize the *.tdb files on the file server with all the Linux machines for consistent UID-to-loginID mapping. Has this been tried by sharing the /var/lib/samba/ over nfs with the other servers? Are there any pitfalls? Has this been

Hi there, we need to implement the following scenario: - Samba server 3.0.22 (NOT acting as a domain controller; we don't use Windows networking domains) - users use Linux and Windoze - anonymous users accessing a certain share should be granted read-only access - successfully authenticated users should be given read-write access - authentication should be performed against an LDAP that

Hi everybody, I'm having a problem with winbind creating 2 entries for some of my users that really wrecking my head ;-/ . My situation is as follows : I have a typical Samba (3.0.14a)/LDAP setup. I have a trusted domain (another Samba/LDAP setup) and use winbind to map the users from the foreign domain, with the UID to SID mappings stored in LDAP . This works very well. The relevant part
