Most of my users (unfortunately me included) need to use a bloated, badly designed piece of sh^Hoftware that only works with administrator's rights (I won't say names but it's from a big german company strongly pushing for software patents). How can I assign those users Administrator's rights without phisically going to each machine? I cold put them in the 'Domain

Hi, configured samba to handle the deletded files in the recycle directory. My problem : for some users the deleted files go into the specified directory for other the files are just deleted and no put in the recycle directory. Does someone already had this problem ?

Hi, i upgraded from Debian sarge to etch, so from samba 3.0.14a-3 to 3.0.24 When someone creates/modify a file the user attribut is set to r (instead of rwx) so the next time a user opens the file is's on read only. What can i do so that the file keeps the attribut rwx for the owner ? Another question : the file has the rigthts : -r--rwx--- but although the user is member of the group

Hi, i have samba 3.0.10 installed with LDAP. I noticed few days ago that my adminsitrator account has expired. I think it's because of the sambaPwdMustChange field of LDAP. I changed the passwd now i have the value 1108741705 in it. What does it mean (when will i be prompted again to change my passwd) and do i have to put in this field so that the password will never expire ? Thanks for

Hi list, I'm using Samba wit a LDAP server. Everything works fine, but I'd like to know how I can declare a user or a group user as an administrator of the workstation he/she is logged in.

I have a simple script that sets the time on a Windows client at startup. The one-line script: net time \\myhost /set /yes Works perfectly well when I double-click it from Windows Explorer, so I don't think the problem lies there. The relevant lines in my smb.conf file: [global] time server = yes logon script = smbtimeset.BAT [netlogon] comment = shared scripts path =

I am trying to build a firewall and from my reading of the list archives and other places, I''m worried about unintended interactions between iptables and iproute2. Here is my situation I have an internal network on eth0 and two separate dmzs on eth1 and eth2 respectively (a wireless network and a kiosk). On the outbound side, I have a cablemodem provider and a dsl provider. What I

Hi Sambatistas, a few days ago there was a discussion, how to force jobs runas administrator at netlogon. If you use a default.bat at netlogon this is executed as the logon user , therefor you are running in rights problems if you wanna execute job which need admin right like regedit /s . I found myself in this problem too, pushing the user to use the logon screensaver as default, i created a reg

Perhaps I'm trying to do something that is not allowed, but I have found no such restriction in the documentation. To limit the contact of my Linux boxes with the "products of Bill & Co.", I have mounted a Windows share on my Linux server. When I try to export that same share from the Linux server (as a plain old NFS volume), it mounts without error, but the mountpoint

Hi! I have MS domain, based on MS Windows 2000 Server. I successfully joined my samba box (Linux 2.5.53, Samba 2.2.4) to domain via smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r DC -Uuser%pwd. So when I try to open Samba box via network neighbornhood I got pop-up window with inputs of username and password, I tape valid values and got this popup again. In samba log I see this: [2003/02/12 09:27:58, 0]

Hey all, Let me first start by saying everything is working as expected so far! This is about my login script being shared from the netlogon directory. My XP client sees and executes the 99% of the script. The last little bit is permissions-related. In my logon.vbs script I am attempting to set the registry key to disable offline folder syncs. A "Domain User" cannot uncheck this

Hi. I have a samba server designed to PDC on my network. The roaming profiles is enabled and work fine. But some apps used from the samba server share, apparently need to the user in the station have admin privileges. Im enabling in the station (XP or Win7) the admin privileges to the station asigned user (DOMAIN\user) but in that case, the roaming profile is not a complete solution, because

It would be nice if rsync has the abiltiy to sync a directory full of files with another directory full of files - but only to update the local directory once the sync had finished. Example: Say you run a mirror of the fedora rawhide rpm repository, and you run an rsync with the master during the time someone is downloading the rpms. You want to make sure that if someone runs an update from you,
