Hello everyone, I'm using Samba 3.0.30 as PDC in my home-LAN, the clients are all XP Pro SP2. Everything is working as it should, although I notice an annoying and quite random login delay of 1-5 seconds for all user-machine combinations. The log lines below (log-level 2) are for example what I got about an hour ago: [2009/03/20 18:43:45, 3] smbd/open.c:open_file(240) Tester opened file

Hi, I have roaming profile issue on my SAMBA PDC with an LDAP backend running on FreeBSD 6.3. It seems that randomly, user's profile get "corrupted" on windows XP. When that happens, the user log in as usual (%userprofile% variable is set and all the share are properly connected) but he gets a default desktop configuration (default wallpaper, english keyboard layout...while i'm

Hello, I have seemed to run into a snag and am wondering if any kind soul on here has any thoughts of what the problem may be, I have roaming profiles setup for a network of Windows XP Pro computers, using a domain controller. I am currently using Samba 3 on SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) with the 2.6.16.21-0.25-bigsmp kernel, the following folders in the users profiles are redirected for performance

Hi, everybody. I have installed samba recently and right now i try to make it a PDC for several XP clients. I had no problems making it PCD and configuring it overall (thanks to quite good docs). Then i created a single test user and had the following problem: this user has perfect first login, he can change settings, save them to server and XP even decides quite good, what to store on server,

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hi, I recently upgraded my pdc server(samba3.0.x+ldap) to debian lenny( samba 3.2.3). After the upgrade, the win2k join is no longer working and returns "Logon failure: the User Name unknown or bad password". The Xp join works properly. The same thing seems to be happen to other users; same problem and same logs:

I am at my wits end on this one. Ever since I upgraded to samba3x (present version 3.5.10-0.110.el5_8) in preparation for adding a Win 7 client, my WinXP client can no longer find their roaming profiles nor can they assign their home shares to a drive at login. Logins and authentication work just fine and I can see the home and profile shares from the Win XP client after login. My smb.conf

Hey fellas. I just installed samba and am having a problem. What I'm trying to achieve is hosting a file server for my lan. I don't want any login/password's to be used or any of that. The server box is running Debian linux and the clients are a mix of debian and winxp. On the server box I'm mounting the harddrives I want to share like this in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1

Hi, Yesterday I found big problems concerning my roaming profiles. They seem to work on some computers where they are always used, on some other the did not load properly (i.e. a default profile was loaded instead). After some debugging with userenv.log I found the very strange problem: case sensitivity for ntuser.dat!: [...] IsCentralProfileReachable: Testing <F:\testuser\ntuser.dat>

We had a new server put in on our local network and I am unable to mount it's file shares - mount -t smbfs works on the old server but it doesn't work on the new one because of the SMB signing problem. However, I cannot get mount -t cifs to work on either of them. Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? Thx vperry successful commands: 1) smbstatus calserver01 2)

I wrote such a generic subject line because I'm stuck and not quite sure where to go... It's a Samba 3.0.14a-3 server running on Debian stable. It uses LDAP authentication and is the primary Domain server on the network. Until around a month ago the server '''seemed''' to be fine, but now I have to massage it to life every morning just so the users can access it

Hello, in school We have CentOS6.5 server with Samba3.6.9 (default from CentOS3.6.9 repository). Clients are WinXP, Win7 and Win8.1, We use roaming profiles. Everything is working perfect, except that when user logs off from Win8.1 client, he is not able to log in for about 15 minutes to any Win8.1 client at school. After 15 minutes it is possible again. I do have pretty standard smb.conf, no

Hi, I'me trying to write a function that will shuffle a vector. At the moment I'm baically making a vector of randomized indices and then making a new vector from the original one using these random indices. However, is there an alternative (more elegant) method to do this? I tried help.search('shuffle') but it does'nt return anything relevant. Thanks,

First up, sorry for the lengthy post, but I've tried quite a lot. I've searched the mailing lists, Google, usenet, and IRC. This post is a last resort. Thanks for any help. Cheers, Richard I have verified my setup follows the samba doc: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html#redirfold Synopsis: --------- When a user logs off XP, most of the server profile

After having migrated my machines and user to Samba 4.3.11 on Ubuntu 16.04.1 (no domain upgrade, new provision, all accounts new defined) and old data copied over to the new machines, I have now a broader testbed and notice issues I didn't see prior to that. Having roaming profiles (defined in the user object in LDB)... Seemingly at random smbd keeps locks on NTUSER.DAT and ntuser.ini for a

i think that if a distribution with MS WOS XP and 7 look and feel based on Gnome and Ubuntu or debian is released a lot of people would migrate. People is comdortable with what they know, even Gnome is easy to use, they like Control panel, Documents and Settings and Start vuttons from MS WOS. If program Icons should be in desktops, an start button with a control panel, My documents and so one,
