Turns out it was a very simple fix - the perms on my dfsroot directories were a tad too tight. Setting debug level to 5 and wading through the logs showed me the answer.

Greetings list, I've looked high and low, and cannot find an instance of this particular situation, and thought I might try leveraging the power of the collective hive mind of the user community to solve this problem. My setup is likely not at all common. I've created a bunch of netbios aliases on a single linux box. Each alias has the same name as a particular windows group, like hr

Hi, I was testing Samba 3.0.1 as a logon server on a Solaris 9 Sparc box. I compiled Samba using gcc 3.3 with the following options: configure --prefix=/local/samba-3.0.1 --enable-static --with-nis --with-quotas --with-syslog --with-msdfs --with-utmp I set utmp = yes in the smb.conf file The samba server does create login entries but minus the hostname entries. The following

All, The basic info is that I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on a Solaris 8 machine with NIS. The hostname is altair and is a NIS slave. As a standard practice every employee get's a NIS account and altair is their samba home. NIS is set to compatibility mode in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Samba security is set to server. It appears that for users to map to their samba share, we need to have an

Hallo, I want to use several DFS-Shares from a M$-Server trough my Samba-Server (3.0.20b-3.21-1370-SUSE on an OpenSchoolServer).

Hi, I'm am trying to configure our samba server to use dfs. It authenticates against active directory but it gets the uid mappings from nis via the local nsswitch. I think I have configured dfs ok as smbclient[1] seems to work ok with my minimal config[2]. However I can't access it from Windows XP[3], I get "network path was not found" when using "net use" from a

Apologies if this question is answered somewhere obvious. I just spent a couple of hours surfing around trying to find an answer. I'd like to provide windows clients with access to files via samba and have samba (or other) do file versioning. In the case that a user happens to delete a file or we want to return to an earlier version, that should be possible. Is there a standard solution for

Dear Sir I?m terribly confused about one problem in our environment. We have one NIS+SAMBA environment, running in E450 with Solaris 7. Apparently, after one system patch application, the password change is not working. Please look this: 1) In the server, with root account: # passwd user_test New password: Re-enter new password: NIS passwd/attributes changed on server passwd (SYSTEM): Password

Hi all, First, I'm no longer on the list, so please CC me if you reply to the group. I've hunted around, but I cannot find anything about this. The --with-msdfs compile flag is not present in ./configure --help. Is dfs built now by default? OR - is it no longer supported?

I am currently having problems accesing our samba msdfs shares from Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 and WinXP SP1 seem unaffected. I have attached the smb.conf and the exports files that define the shares. Running ethereal on the different clients seems to point to the fact that XP SP2 no longer seems to be using the netbios-ssn (139) port. for GET_DFS_REFERRAL instead its using microsoft-ds

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a user who is running a Samba server to store data files for his ArcView 3.3 application. Client operating system is Windows XP professional. With Samba2 (2.2.8a) this was working quite fine, it usually took less than a few seconds to load and render one of the GIS presentations with ArcView. We then did an upgrade to Samba3 (3.0.20b)

Hi Samba community, Last year we upgraded from version 3.0.10 to 3.0.20b and at the same time switch from NT-domain controller membership to AD membership. After this upgrade we began to experience that drives sometimes were not mapped. We saw this both on our Citrix servers and on our XP PCs. A couple of weeks back we then moved to 3.0.21b in the hope that this misbehaviour would
