Hi guys, Unfortunately this is still happening I've tried restarting Samba. Users who should be denied access after 21:00 are being denied access at 19:00. Our time zone in South Africa is GMT+2. Perhaps I should set the timezone on the server to UTC/GMT ? Do you think this will help ? Should I then leave the time set to the current time in South Africa ? Or should I set the time to the

Hi guys, How are you ? My setup is as follows: Samba-3.0.0 PDC on a Slackware-9.0 box, with mixed N.T. and Windows 2000 clients. Everything has been running perfectly for months however now, it seems I've picked up a bit of a weird problem when changing a users password via smbpasswd. This problem only appears to affect users who log onto the Samba domain using a Windows 2000 PC. i.e If I

Hi guys, I've installed openldap-2.1.25 and Samba-3.0.2 and configured everything with no TLS on a Slackware-9.1 Linux box. To manage the LDAP backed I've used smbldap-tools-0.8.4. After populating the database with smbldap-populate I was able to first add users to /etc/passwd etc. and then to LDAP with smbldap-useradd -a and access the server via Windows PCs. Everything appeared to be

Hi guys/girls, How are you ? I've been struggling to get my users' passwords to expire. My configuration is samba-3.0 running with the standard smbpasswd back-end. Everything that I can find on the web says I should set the following to expire my users passwords after 28 days.: pdbedit -v -P 'minimum password age' -C 300 pdbedit -v -P 'maximum password age' -C 2419200

More information on my problem below. It seems that users that were only meant to kicked off at 21:00 were kicked off at 19:00. I've checked the time and timezone on the Linux server and all seems correct. I think I've messed up something somewhere to do with Samba and time and Logon Hours restrictions. Please point me in the right direction. Many thanks David Wilson From: "David

Hi guys, I use "veto files = /.mp3/.mpg/" etc. on the [homes] share to prevent users from storing media files on a Samba server in the home directories. My client now wishes to make this restriction apply to users who are members of only certain groups. E.g. This restriction must apply to users who are members of the "Students" group and not apply to users in the

Hi all, How are things going ? Is there a way for me to individually identify each BRI channel on the Sirrix quad BRI board. The reason I ask is because our client uses the "Asterisk Flash Operator Panel" to monitor its external lines and transfer calls from the lines to the various SIP phones. The "Flash Operator Panel" requires that we set a static value for each line or

Hi guys, How's things going ? Got a bit of a weird one here that I've been unable to solve. I have a Panasonic PBX linked to a Sirrix Quad BRI card that is running in TE (ptp) mode in a Asterisk box - this then links through Internet to another Asterisk box via IAX2. When a user on the Panasonic PBX system dials the extension of my Sirrix Asterisk box, Asterisk answers and says

Hi guys, I have a weird thing happening sometimes with users calling from a GrandStream phone through Asterisk onto a PSTN. Sometimes after a user hangs up a call on a GrandStream phone the phone starts ringing after a couple seconds. When the call is answered there is no one there. Anyone had this before ?

Hi guys, Another quick question: I'm running Samba-3.0.9 with an LDAP backend. User logon restrictions, in terms of allowed logon hours are set by using NT's "User Manager.exe" which connects to the Samba controlled domain. The restrictions appear to work OK except when there are multiple rules for the logon hours. .e.g Logon restrictions work pefectly if the logon time is:

Hi guys, How are you ? We have a share named [userprofile] on our Samba-3.0.9 server where each users' profile is stored. Fairly often a user which is not the user that owns the profile i.e and admin, needs to copy files into other users' profile folders. The problem which then arises is that the user who owns the profile is unable to access the new files, due to the UNIX permissions

Hi guys and girls, I'm running Samba-3.0.4 as a PDC for about 40 workstations. It's been running perfectly for about 6 months. Suddenly in the last week two PCs have required that they be 'rejoined' to the domain. This seems to be happening every couple days or so. I've looked through the logs but can't find any clues about missing computer accounts etc. Any ideas why ?

Hi guys, How are you keeping ? I use 'smbmount' and a custom script to mount remote shares from Windows desktops and back them up to a Linux server. Everything works great except that I get "Resource deadlock avoided" when trying to copy 'Outlook.pst'. This of course is due to users' having their Outlook open when my backup script runs. Is anyone aware of a way to
