Hi list, I'm trying to set up an OpenLDAP server to provide the goodies for samba and postfix running on the same box - SUSE 9.2 Pro The trouble start fairly early, unfortunately. I'm following the idealx.org documentation, which suggest using samba.schema as well as inetorgperson.schema and nis.schema. (John Terpstra's book suggest this as well). There seems to be a conflict

Hello to the list, We have installed samba 3.0.12 on a solaris sparc server , mainly acting as a backup-server. Now the problem: Some user want to save whole disk-images on their shares which exceed the 2 GB limit. Now my question: Do i need to compile with option "-m64" , or is the underlaying FS responseable for a successful action Kind regards martin schreiber

Hi all, I just replaced a client's SUSE 8.0/Samba 2.2 DC with a SUSE 9.2/Samba 3.0.9 DC. Drives were giving trouble, and since that box was a first attempt at a linux DC there was a lot of room for improvement. I copied the profiles and home directories over to the new machine, chowned them to the new users. I also did extracted the securid from the old DC and set it to the new one

Hi guys, I have samba domain controller running at a client. It's a fairly simple and straightforward setup, uses smbpasswd for auth, nothing fancy. The client wants to be able to vpn in and access their files. I setup pptp, and use the built in WindowsXP client. After establishing the vpn connection, I can access the domain controller. I get asked for my username and pass - type in

Hi all, I just want to double check. include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf Does this the same as the ordinary /etc/dhcpd.conf or is it a different file? What should be the content be? Searching google for "/etc/SAMBA/dhcp.conf" only brings up multiple entries of the smb.conf line. Thanks -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com

Hi all, I setup a DC for a company who until now have been using standalone WindowsXP Pro desktops in a "workgroup." Initially I just added the users, standard setup. They all belong to the group "users." Then they asked for a limited group to have access to the financial folders. So I added a group "financial" and limited access to users in the financial group.

Hi guys, I am a newbie so please bear with me here. The question is not really related to Samba but to Red Hat. I want to install some EMail Server program on my RH 9 so that I could use my Red Hat PC as email server. Do you guys know of any program that I can use? By the way I installed RH9 with all options, so I guess I would have something inside my PC that would serve this prrpose that I

Hi, Could someone please point me towards good documentation for setting up samba3 as a DC and using ldap for authentication. The part I'm having trouble with is setting up ldap in the right way, and the ldap docs are a bit confusing. I'm also looking for good docs on upgrading a DC from samba2.x to samba3, while upgrading the whole OS (SuSE 8.0 to SUSE 9.2). I have extracted the

Hi, I have a linux box set up with Samba 3.0 and have configured my shared drives. What I am trying to do is store a MS SQL data base on my Samba share. I can see the drive from my SQL machine but when I try create the database there I get errors like inconsistent file names etc. Fist can this be done and if so how? Thanx Warren

Hi All, Does anyone run SQL and/or exchange on SAMBA server share? Are there any special considerations to take? would you be kind enough to share your experience doing it? Any special smb.conf configuration is required? is there any performance issue or functional limitations supporting it? I am just wondering since Microsoft encourages block level access over share/file level access.

Hi ! Siemens is migrating away from Windows fileservers to Netapp Filers. First I thought great thats cool get rid of some more MS boxes... But now I face troubles connecting to the shares on the filers. Our support states a cite from netapp as: "samba is not compliant with the specs" Could anyone suply me with ammunition to counter that or knows why the netapp does not allow to

We are having a problem getting a NetApp filer to re-join a samba domain after a move to a new network. The filer worked fine with samba before the move. Apologies in advance for the long missive. I've tried the following: - re-running the CIFS setup program on the filer - removing the problem filer's samba account, replacing it, and re-running the setup program on the filer

Hi, I'm debating purchasing a NetAppliance fileserver that does native CIFS. Below is a URL to a NetAppliance authored paper regarding performance. One of the sections compares NFS to CIFS and talks about Samba. Can anyone dispute any of this? Is there any reason besides price that I should stick with Samba? -Ed Ed Sanborn (978) 691-6496 Northchurch

Good ${time of the day} I have just been wondering if anyone would know if Samba is compatible with the CIFS implementation of the Network Appliance DataONTAP filers? http://www.netapp.com/products/filer/ontap.html I have so far unable to connect to any shared folder on the NetApp filer that require authentication. An attempt to access or list shared resources on the NetApp filer fails with the

We are running scripts using smbclient to get some data of NetAPP filer and we run into the output below. After doing some digging, I found that there is a incompatibility between NetAPP Data ONTAP OS and samba. Is this still the case or there is a fix for it. We are running 3.0.10 Any ideas would be great George Client started (version 3.0.10). Connecting to 169.177.18.109 at port 445

just a quick update: no issues with NFSv4.0 (load is slowly growing, currently ~7k mailboxes) instead, bad news from delegation front, we enabled it for a couple of days but we ran in ugly issues: processes went in "uninterruptible sleep" state, load average gets huge, reboot was the only escape :-( -brd Alessio Cecchi wrote: > Il 12/06/2015 13:02, brd ha scritto: > >Alessio

Hello I'm searching for documentation in using Samba 3 and Netapp filers especially if it is possible for Samba to be "seen" by netapp filers as a PDC ? Any infos/tricks welcome. Thanks -- Cordialement/Regards Frank Bonnet
