Guys, I have a pc (already joinned the samba domain 'DOMAIN') that I want to keep off other domain users but user DOMAIN\mark and DOMAIN\thomas whilst letting both of them to logon freely to other computers.

Dear Group, I'm using samba 3.x as a PDC, and I'm using linux system quota v2 for samba. Here is my problem: if a user copies a big file to the desktop (bigger than the quota set for that user), when he logs off, the profile wont syncronize with the server with the message "disk full".

Hi all, I have been noticing for a certain time that the Win 2K with Service Pack 4 wasnt able to save its profile to a Samba PDC. Is this a known fact or I have a problem ?

When I try to establish a trust from SAMBA 3.0.11 to Windows 2003 I get the error: NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE. I have no problem the other way. I had no problem either, when I ran SAMBA 3.0.9, and the problem disappeared when I down-graded to 3.0.9. Here is what happens ('CALYPSO' is the Windows-server and 'KONTOR' is its domain-name): [root@linux /root]# net rpc trustdom

Dear, I have PDC Server running under Redhat 9 and use samba 2.2.7. It has running until now. That I know, users cannot access resources in the network if they don't join to Domain. And, only administrator with root user+password can make users joined to Domain. But, I have one problem. There is one user, bring the private notebook. He create ip address (same with his office-computer),

Dear Folks, This is a note for all those people out there who had to turn off their firewalls (iptables) to get Samba to work. First start the GUI interface to the firewall by typing [somedir]# redhat-config-securitylevel Click on "Customize". Click the check box for your network adapter (usually "eth0"). Click on the checkboxes for any services you want to allow (I

I found this from http://charon.minilab.bdeb.qc.ca/anonym/nt/2000/ads/TTGW2KGP_Vol1through4.pdf I would like to figure out how to do this gpedit.msc+AD+gpc+gpt magic for win2k/xp with linux+samba(2.2/3.0/tng)+openldap and is it possible at all? Thanks. Although GPOs provide significantly more policy features than NT 4.0 System Policy provides, GPOs are stored and processed differently than NT

I have a Samba PDC with LDAP as its back end. It works perfectly except for one major detail: Non-root users cannot join the Samba PDC. I change the domain on Windows XP clients like this: 1. Log in as administrator on an Windows XP client 2. Change domain with Control Panel -> System -> Computer name -> "Change..." and in the Domain field, I enter the name of the Samba Domain

Hello friends, I am running Samba 3.0 on RHEL4 server. Around 200 roaming profiles are also configured and they login to XP machines. Things are working for us except in network rollout scenarios.

Hi, all! There is a share on PDC (Samba 3.0.23): [Soft] comment = Software path = /st2/soft valid users = "@Domain Users" read only = No share modes = No I do: # cd /st2/soft # touch testfile # chown testuser:"Domain Users" testfile # chmod a+rwx testfile After logon on windows workstation (domain member) as testuser, I going to

I run the computers in a small shop and want to change my users from using the local accounts on their windows boxes to a central account managed through ldap (openldap). I now have samba working with ldap and using ldap for authenticating shares as windows users ask for those shares to be mounted to their workstations. What I want is for the initial ctl-alt-del login to authenticate through samba

Hi, I have server setup as BDC on a subnet different from the PDC. The BDC can auth fine against the PDC and they can browse each other just fine. The problem is on Unix side of the BDC. When I do a 'wbinfo -g' or 'getent group' each group fit the format 'DOMAIN\group_name' and the PDC does not. This is causing problems when synchronizing as the group perm is being set

I created a BDC for my network, running a slave LDAP server. Do I need specify the same workgroup as the PDC in the smb.conf? I was thinking I'd put it on a different workgroup just for organizational purposes. -- *Jason Baker */IT Coordinator/ *Glastender Inc.* 5400 North Michigan Road Saginaw, Michigan 48604 USA 800.748.0423 Phone: 989.752.4275 ext. 228 Fax: 989.752.4444

Dear, I have a Linux Samba server and a Windows XP SP2 client joined to the "g-company.net" domain.

Hi everyone; I have searched the internet up & down for an answer to this problem. I'm stumped. Here's what I've got: Samba 3.0.22 configured as a PDC using tdbsam as the passdb backend (switching to LDAP when I get everything working). testparm says everything is fine.
