similar to: Problem uploading printer driver in Samba 3.0.14a

Firstly I apologise for the length of this query but I am hoping that if I document everything I did someone might respond / be able to help. My Configuration is Samba 3.0.2a as a PDC on Redhat 8. I cannot for the life of me get the "Domain Admins" functionality to work I am hoping that another set of eyes can shed some light on this problem as I have now spent 41 hrs googling /

Hi, I had a Samba PDC running on unstable hardware. I migrate everything on a new machine, I transferred all the configuration files (smb.conf, smbpasswd, .), transferred all the users and groups. Everything was working 100% until I had to join a new machine to Domain, WinXP Pro SP2 can't find de Domin Controler, but all the WinXP Pro SP2 that where already in the Domain before the migration

Hi I have samba 3.0.14a (debian/stable) and wonder where the problem is that running this command: # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=512 type=d gives: adding entry for group Domain Admins failed! but (note changed rid) # net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmins rid=1000 type=d works fine. Hm, winbind is not working, but I

Hi! Let's go back to this topic please! I have to replace the Windows NT 4.0 server with Samba but I still don't know how to do this. I need to allow to someone (some user group) the right to add files into the folder. They use this "feature" on current NT server ver often and to this in the following ways: 1. Rightclick on file you want to add, Copy, then go to server, for

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hi, i'm running a samba PDC on samba 3.0 and just had to reinstall the server because of a dead cpu causing corruption. luckily i had complete backups of the samba-files, so i copied them back to /etc/samba, /var/lib/samba and /var/cache samba. (tdb-files) i had one workstation (xp) removed from the domain and wanted to add it again, but then the station always gives me an error that i

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples

hi, i'm moving from nt4 to samba ( 3.0.7 on suse 9.2). I'm able to join the domain, and roaming profiles work. I used net groupmap to map unix to nt group, this way: System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-2839205766-3667556824-2828225164-514) -> nobody Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> ntguests Power Users (S-1-5-32-547)

Hi [Samba]s I have RedHat 8.0, and have installed a compiled CUPS 1.1.19pre4 and Samba 3.0 (latest this week from CVS). It all compiles and installs OK with CUPS support in Samba, but no printers show up (according to smbclient -L or from windoze) when "printing=cups" is used. It is OK if another form of printing is used, for example "printing=sysv". A reversion to Samba

Hello, Have wrestled this one for about a week, now, getting frustrated ;-) Running samba as PDC for my domain (cf. smb.conf further down) When logging in on my 2K Pro machine, I first get a "can't find roaming profile, attempting local profile"-error, but logon using my user's smb account accepts only the correct password and so the identification part works well. Next,

I'm running debian testing, so samba 3.05 atm. As of a few upgrades ago, which i think coincided with a library restructure or somewhat samba is no longer honouring read/write/admin lists on share definitions. Using the below share as an example, previously all users could access the share with read access, and those in the ntadmins group had write access. Since the upgrade users can only

Hi, I have configured Samba 3.0.14a as PDC and Printer Server on a LAN. Everything goes well: - Users can do logon to the Samba NT Domain - Users can print on the network "raw" printer I tried to load the driver via Add Remove Printer Wizard on the network printer, I can copy and install the driver, but when I tried to save the configuration pushing the botton Apply or OK I recived

I have been trying for 2 months to get my samba server to add machine accounts 'on the fly" I have added both of these to my smb.conf add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 102 -s /bin/false Neither of these seems to do anything. I have around 250 computers to add, so adding the machine

Hello folks, I have been able to successfully compile (MIT) kerberos (1.5.4) and samba (3.0.28a) on a Solaris 9 (Kernel version: SunOS 5.9 Generic 122300-31 Aug 2008) host. I was able to successfully join this host to a DEVDOMAIN This is the smb.conf file that I used: [global] # If there are no settings here, Samba uses the default values for all global settings security = ads

Typical Linux Distros add all sorts of Unix groups to users when it creates them, like cdrom, floppy, dialout, audio, etc... Logging in to the domain from Windows with an account that has such membership over on Linux... "ifmember.exe /list" shows all of those memberships. Why exactly? I would expect only the groups I did a "net groupmap" on would be considered by Samba.

This is part of a larger post that was maybe too complicated for me to get the right answer, so I'm breaking it down and will do it bit by bit. Server is Samba-3 PDC, clients are NT4 & XP. I can join the domain using root credentials (so the add machine script works), but not when using 'administrator'. unixuser 'administrator' has primary unixgroup 'ntadmins'.

1. Is it okay to use an NFS-mounted path in the [profiles] path statement? 2. How do I make sure that owner & permissions don't get set to root on certain profile files when the user profile is migrated to the PDC 'logon path' area? -------------------------------------------------------- I've set out to move our Windows PCs into a samba PDC domain, and my first profile

I have created a domain controller using samba 3.0.20. I following howto's from a couple of books and the samba.org site. I was able to use net rpc vampire to migrate the old nt4 domain user accounts, machine accounts, and trusts. However, now when I attempt to use add a new machine to the domain I receive and error. From windows I get: "The user name could not be found" When I

I wrote such a generic subject line because I'm stuck and not quite sure where to go... It's a Samba 3.0.14a-3 server running on Debian stable. It uses LDAP authentication and is the primary Domain server on the network. Until around a month ago the server '''seemed''' to be fine, but now I have to massage it to life every morning just so the users can access it

Hi folks, I have an issue that has me shaking my head. Once a workstation has made the initial connection to a host, things seem to work well for a day or so. However, if the resource hasn't been accessed in a while, and then a connection is retried, this following message is returned: "\\hostname is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact
