similar to: 3.0.20a nmbd/wins problems - can't find domain

Hi, I am in the process of upgrading from v3.0.20a to v3.0.23 with our local passdb plugin. The plugin complies without any issues. Our User DataBase contains all our users accounts but not system accounts. With Samba v3.0.20a this wasn't a problem. Why th change between v3.0.20a and v3.0.23 ? Do you see any issues if I return a fake root account? Returning a fake root account s a hack I

Greetings, This is a interesting problem. One of our researchers uses MATLAB to generate jpg files as part of his vision research. When he copies these files from the file server, it is very slow. I tried 3.0.28a and I see the same problem as we have with 3.0.28. Here are some interesting stats. 1) MATLAB generated files: command: robocopy Y:\23_1 C:\23_1 /e dirs: 2 files: 262 bytes:

OK, I'm stumped. I have a Samba server (v3.0.20a) with security=DOMAIN and using winbind to authenticate non-local users against a W2K domain controller. This setup happily serves out home directories and about six other shares. I need to add a local UNIX account for a formerly Windows only user. When I try useradd I get: user <username> exists. This makes sense becasue of winbind.

Hi, I'm tryinig to debug SIP call from activex control based on MS RTC (A) to Asterisk (B).

Hi All, A question for those with Cisco 7940/60 SIP phones. I used to load POS3-06-03-00 Firmware to the cisco phones. A month or so ago, I ran some tests and found that latest 3.8.6 firmware worked well, and solved an issue or two on the phones. I've a number of users who work outside of the LAN. Our phones use DNS names to talk to A*k, so in theory, just enabling NAT makes the phone

Hi, We migrated from redhat 7.1 to redhat 3 ES and ran into one road block after the other. Most of them were solved except this last one. Users cannot change their passwords and then I read somewhere that samba 3.0 and MS KB828471 or 741 don't want to be friends. Then I upgraded my samba to be samba 3.0.7 (which i guess is the latest).... Then I un-installed the KBB patch being accused.

Okay, I've got a decently sized network (well, very large, multiple locations, and a small number of users... 10-15, but multiple servers). I've got Win2k, XP Home, XP Pro accessing these servers. The servers are running a version of Samba3.0b1 I pulled from CVS a few days before the offical announcement. I'm seeing some really odd behaviour with it all. I honeslty think i'm

Hi - I posted this to the NT list but have had no responses so far... not sure if it's more appropriate here anyway - hopefully someone can give me some direction with this problem... I've been trying to set up a server to act as a roaming profiles / file server for a bunch of NT 4.0 machines and some 98 machines, and am having two issues, one I'm reasonably sure is an NT

Hi, i have this samba 2.2.7a configured as a PDC. I have been trying hard to make samba pick up the roaming profiles but its not able to. It's says the permission is denied on the server for the client to access its profile. Please help!!!

Dear list, We are experiencing users unexpectedly accessing each others files. It happens when they try to access files that are called the same and which is located in an equal file structure under their login drive. Two other conditions need to be fulfilled: one of the users needs to have the file locked and both users needs to be logged into the same Citrix server(windows-2000). For instance

Hello, I'm new to this list. The NT folk here, are concerned about some timeout errors and stuff that appear in their event viewer. They are building a case to convince management that unless these "samba" errors are fixed, we should move to NT file shares. I think this is a bad idea. Can anyone help me out here. We are running samba 2.0.6 (1st msg) and 2.0.5a (2nd err msg)

Hi, Problem: When our network has any glitches causing a network time-out for more than a few minutes, our samba servers lose their connectivity with our WINS server even after the network is restored. This causes the WINS server to tombstone the name registration for the samba server(s), thereby causing clients to not connect through the browser. SMB connections are not affected so the

Hi, We are running samba 2.0.0 on solaris 2.6. We have security = domain and server = localNTbox. When nmbd starts up it registers itself with the localNTbox, which is a WINS server. After a period of time other WINS servers in our network synchronize and all machines on the network can access the samba server. After 24 days the WINS server tombstones the samba server entry - presumably

These are already open. I'm pretty sure that NT4/2003 PDC's make a DCE/RPC over TCP connection to pull down the <1b> entries from the wins server. I have done packet captures on test NT4 wins server to see how PDC's pull their domain lists, and I see the port 135 three way handshake, which then gets switched over to a tcp port 1028 which is the dce/rpc requests and responses.

I have nmbd set up to act as a WINS server. As far as I can tell from the docs, WINS should reply for queries that it can then lookup in the supplied lmhosts file. Unfortunately, it does not appear to do this; it only knows its own name when queried (and the domain name entry) but none of the entries that are in the lmhosts file. the debug output of nmbd doesn't reveal much (and doesnt even

Hi All, I'm setting up a central WINS server on campus here and would like to use a Samba machine to do this (we don't have enough 'stable' NT to do it with that, yet). I don't really want to run the whole of Samba on that particular machine (since there is no need [I don't need file/print serving] and to keep someone happy with regards security ;-). Can I just run

Hello! Is there any way to a) force nmbd write wins.dat b) load wins database from wins.dat without nmbd restart? Thank you!
