Hi all got a bit of and odd problem with ACL. Ive read up on a few bits in the samba howto and read some threads on here about it. Im not sure if this is a bug, something ive not done, doing wrong etc so anyone that could shed some light on it that would be great. Basically the windows box handles all user account processing and during creating a script for all this it will attempt to change the

Hi Ross! All our windows-clients works well with Samba 3.0.14a (WinXP and TS 2003 sp1). Perhaps the changes made for ADS SP1 somehow can affect ADS 2003 (without sp1) in the same way that ADS 2003 sp1 did for our Samba 3.0.9. But that is only a wild guess.

Hi the list (again) Got a pretty major issue now Did the samba link to AD on a couple of redhat es3 servers using samba 3.0.14a Everything seems ok Except when I do a getent passwd username Server 3 getent passwd ross ross:x:10006:10000:ross:/home/ACADEMIC/ross:/bin/false Server 2 getent passwd ross ross:x:10006:10000:ross:/home/ACADEMIC/ross:/bin/false Server 1 getent passwd ross

Hi all, Been having issues trying to get winbind working properly. Basically I need windows Domain controller features such as forcing bad password attempts and group policy etc and use samba as the FileStore. I can kinit nps, I can join the samba machine to the AD (shows up on the windows box too) But when I run wbinfo -u I get ; [root@dev1 bin]# ./wbinfo -u Error looking up domain users

Hi all. I have managed to join my samba server to an AD domain. I can now join using the net command and get various other bits of info. Wbinfo -u /g/t etc works nps Getent however doesn't. This is my question: By reading various emails over the last 2 weeks and various howtos etc In order to share users and passwords etc all I need to do is edit the nsswitch.conf To passwd: compat

Hi, I'm following chapter 3 (from the web-site), and I copied and pasted the smb.conf file. I corrected an error (I think) : passwd chat = *New*... : the "=" was missing and then "*New*..." was on the following line. Then I ran testparm -s, and I got an error : ERROR: the 'passwd program' () requires a '%u' parameter. I seem unable to solve this. Any

Hello Ross, I've got a similar problem since a week with my server. I'm running RH 8.0 on a Xeon 1.4Ghz with 2GB RAM, too. My CPU usage was pretty low (>90% idle) but the CPU load average was at 14. For now I'm waiting for the next time it happens to get some more information. Best regards, Reiner -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Ross McInnes (Systems)

Hi, We are having difficulty connecting to a samba server using windows XP pro. Plain text is enabled and we can search for the server on the network, but as soon as we map a drive to it, it asks for a username and password. We enter this and then it asks for a password relating to a guest account. Can anyone help me with why it defaults to the guest account? Regards Phil This message

Hi all, I try to use rsync with the option --acl but it doesn`t work. send_acl : sys_acl_get_file(haservices, SMB_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): Operation not supported Does my rsync-package don`t support acls or what is going wrong here? How can I ensure that my rsync version is compiled with acl support? info: rsync-2.6.2-8 (rpm from sles9) cheers Stefan

The patch below modifies the spec file for FC4 RPM builds as follows: 1.) Build binaries using the -lmcheck option; various samba commands and smbd process crash badly without; see, for example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=164353 2.) The Fedora project's samba RPMS install mount.cifs; it would help to have samba.org's RPMS do the same. It would be nice to

Hi all, has anyone had any experience with samba3 on a X86_64 system. Are there any significant performance benefits ? cheers Stephan

All our scripts etc no longer work since installing 3.0.9 when adding new users. We use a perl script to make sure there are no duplicate names/uid's etc and generate a random 8 char password. It then adds the user to /etc/passwd with that password and then invokes smbpasswd -a $username $password which no longer works with the 3.0.9 version of smbpasswd! Why has this mind bogglingly useful

Hi all... Im at the stage where: Kinit works Net ads join -U Administrator works (I can see the computer in AD) Net ads user works Wbinfo -u / -g / -t works Getent passwd/group works What I cannot seem to get working is when someone logs onto the domain, and then tries to map a drive to the samba server, its like the credentials arent getting passed onto samba, or rather samba is unable to look

Hi all Thanks for everyones help so far with trying to get these all working. I am now at the stage where I can logon to the domain and access a samba share with out having to enter in a username password (i.e samba is using AD to authenticate) My system is setup like so: Windows 2k3 PDC (so I get group policy features, bad password attempts, account expiry etc) Samba 3.0.14a on RH es3 linux

Hi all. Long time no write :) Have been looking at recycle bin options using the VFS options. Everything works fine, but I have one question/snag. We use a script that uses smbclient to send a message to a machine to warn them they are low on space. So the user thinks "oh dear" and deletes stuff. Problem is on the quota system its still counted as part of their user space... Is there

ACK, pushed.

Hi to all. I recently upgraded to shorewall ver 2.3 from 2.0 so I could explore the multiple ISP/dual default route setup feature of version 2.3, I also upgraded iptables from 1.2 to 1.3 (rpm-based install) but when I tried to start shorewall it terminates and I noticed it''s giving me this error iptables: No chain/target/match by that name ERROR: Command "/sbin/iptables -t mangle -A

I just got a new Debian Sarge server and followed the brainspl.at "Debian Lighttpd Rails Stack" tutorial. The only place I deviated was the version of Lighty. The page uses 1.4.7 and I spotted that 1.4.10 was available. I installed that and couldn''t get anywhere. Lighty died on first access from the test rails app, and even from a ultra basic static config. No log, no

Hi everyone. just thought i'd reword by previous message about ENCFS and Samba. I guess what I'm trying to find out is can Samba work with any encrypted file systems? Does anyone have any experience/advice on this? I want to be able to see the Linux encrypted file system from a windows computer when the EFS is mounted, but not be able to see it when it isn't mounted. Right now,
