Hi all, I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandrake 10.2 (LE2005) and have mounted the shares on an NT4 server to rsync the files over to the Samba box. The only thing is that Linux sees the dual Xeons in the server as four CPUs and the first core on CPU1 hits 100% while the files are copying over. Every so often, CPU1, core 2 takes over (at 100%) for a short period and then core 1 goes back to

Hi All, I have a problem with a growing network. I inherited the network at about 200 machines and it's now reached 300 at which point the cracks are starting to show. I have no budget to speak of but need to up the bandwitdh so I'm looking at sticking an extra Gigabit NIC into my PDC and splitting the network into two subnets. I have two kinds of data, static and dynamic. Static files

Hi all, I have a problem with adding point and print to a print server. The server details are as follows: 700MHz Celeron + 384MB RAM Mandriva LE2005 (Mandrake 10.2) Samba 3.0.13-2mdk CUPS 1.1.23 cups drivers 10.2-0.11 gimpprint-cups 2-1.1.23-11 foomatic 3.0.2-1 The server is bound to an NT4 based domain (to be replaced with Linux/Samba in the summer) and winbind works fine with wbinfo -u and

Ok folks, here goes: We have an old NT4 machine that we wish to replace as the PDC on our network. In it's place, we've got a dual xeon box with Mandrake LE2005 and Samba 3.0.13-2 and I'm currently trying to draw the accounts over with vampire. I'm using tdbsam as a backend. I've been through several readme's and howto's and have created all the UNIX accounts,

I'm running samba 3.0.13 on a debian box, sharing out NFS filesystems from a solaris box. I know, bad idea.. file locking, etc... non-issues at the moment. I've discovered that if I make a share from a local filesystem, the PC's mounting the share see their quota (hard limit, not soft which is another matter) as their capacity and their appropriate free space... this is good.

Hi all, I''ve just built Mandrake 10.1 on a Compaq Deskpro that I''ve built as a router/firewall and am redirecting port 80 outbound to force users through the Content Filter. I''ve run this setup on Mandrake 9.0 and 10.0 without any problems but this time the following happens. Squid is accessed through port 3128 and Dansguardian via 8080. If I set my browser on a

Hi All, I have samba 3.0.23 running on Ubuntu and have a problem with ID maps. When viewing file permissions on the PDC (Samba 3.0.20/Redhat EL4) Win XP resolves the SID/RID to NT user and group names. With the Ubuntu mamber server however, it shows only the SID. I checked that the user and group idmaps in Samba's Winbind setting were matching ranges and even deleted the contents of

Hi Guys Thanks a lot this has helped me greatly. The basics are now working i just have to migrate the rest of the user accounts and all will be well. :) Regards Andrew On 8/26/07, Julian Pilfold-Bagwell <jools@oss4all.plus.com> wrote: > Volker Lendecke wrote: > > On Sun, Aug 26, 2007 at 03:12:30PM +0200, Andrew Jeremy Gargan wrote: > > > > > >> write list

Hello, I just thought I would write this in case its useful to anyone. I've used dovecot for a while, as its so easy to set up, its fast and it and just "works". I recently wanted to be able to send via my server after pop3s authentication. I'm also running debian (testing) which utilises exim4 by default. I found no information about how to do it with this combination of

To anyone out there who's having problems joining their Samba/LDAP domain with XP here's a solution. The main symptom is that the XP join domain gui returns a "user cannot be found" error. The setup that I experienced this on was configured and managed using the smbldap-tools package. Usual disclaimer applies if it fails to work, you are responsible for backing up your

Hi, I'd like to deny multiple logins to a samba domain. I already searched the archive and found some threads about it. This one seems to be a good idea: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-April/119867.html Does anyone know where to find such scipt examples? Thanks, Marcus

Hello Is it possible to create a samba logoff script. I currently use netlogon for a logonscript. I also want a logoff scipt to allow me to back certain files up once a user logs off. Is this possible? If so how? -- REGARDS, Andy

Hello, Why does the configure scipt include -I/usr/local/include for CPPFLAGS and -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib for LDFLAGS in the Makefile? Is this nesscesary? I take them out for security concerns Thanks Doug

Hi, I'm using R2.8.1 in windows vista and the scan function to load in my data. That works all fine except that I get a message after the scan function finishes. It tells me how many items the function has read. For example "Read 202035 items". That would not be a problem but this is printed in the stderr stream which causes a problem in a different software I run the r scipt in. I

Hi all, I'm currently migrating from tdbsam to LDAP and want to restructure my setup at the same time. I can get the SIDs for the user and machine accounts using pdbedit -Lv | grep SID but I have 800 users so I don't want to reset their passwords. So far, I've dumped the contents of the tdbsam database into an smbpasswd backup file and am running john-the-ripper across it.

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. Yesterday, I tried to add a new machine to the network and received the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: The password of this user has expired Not a problem I thought, and then ran smbldap-usermod -e "2010-12-30 00:00:00" root to extend the password date. If I now try to connect a

Hi All, I have a tdbsam backend on Samba PDC and am trying to set a user up as a domain admin. I read that instead of the old admin users line in smb.conf you now use net groupmap to map unix groups to NT groups. I have a user called toni in unix group admins and have run: net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins running: net groupmap list gives: Domain

I am currently using Windows self extractor from the command line and it works great to convert zip files to windows exe's. The issue I'm having is if I try and cron this through a shell scipt it complains with the following + wine '/usr/share/wine-c/Program Files/WinZip Self-Extractor/WinZIPse.EXE' /y /le /overwrite

Hi All, I do have asterisk installed for a call center and I would like to know if it is possible to create a scipt and execute it from a PC connected to the Network without accessing the server. This script should restart asterisk and another service related to aheeva. The problem now is that each time I have to access using PUTY to the server to start and run services manually. Service
