hi folks, i hope you can help me!!! i'm using samba v3.0.14a (sernet) on debian sarge. openldap v2 is my backend, smbldap-tools 0.8.4 (patched for our organization). when adding a user via usrmgr.exe to an existing domain group i get the following error: [in usrgmr] The following error occured changing the properies of the user xxx User does not belong to this group [in smbd.logs]

hi, weird thing: i thought when commenting out "delete user script" and "ldap delete dn" nobody is able to delete users from the domain. what happens: users are deleted, to be more specific their samba attributes are deleted but not their posix values. i won't let our admins delete users from our domain becaus we have another management to add/delete users to/from a

hi list, just for my knowledge -> we have a working PDC / BDC infrastructure for our domain DOMA, where PDC trusts another PDC from DOMB (all samba v3). when PDC from DOMA goes down, is the trust still valid or do we have to setup the trust on *both* DCs from DOMA (net rpc trustdom establish DOMB ... )? is that possible at all? thx&greez -- Michael Gasch Max Planck Institute for

hi list, is it possible with samba v3 and ldap backend to embedd a normal group like "normalgroup" in the group "Domain Administrators" to give members of the group "normalgroup" full administrative rights on workstations? i tried with "net groupmap addmem sid-of-normalgroup sid-of-domain-admins" and "net groupmap addmem sid-of-domain-admins

hi, i have a question about winbind, idmap_rid and trusted domains. at sambaxp jerry said it's possible to have idmap_rid working with trusted domains. this is what we would like to have here. smbd -b doesn't show this compile option on 3.0.14a rpm (SuSE). may be this is normal, but how do i ensure that this option is in my binary w/ testing too much :) or how can i compile it

hi, i read about samba4wins, which is really a great work from the team! do you know, if this will work with samba v3.0.14a? i ask because a german news service writes that it?s only possible with 3.0.21 (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/69132), but i can?t find this information in the notes on http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4WINS/samba4wins-1.0.0-16/ thx for helping me! -- Michael

hi, i just have some questions about specific (uncommon) compile options and aio-settings in smb.conf: Asynchronous IO Support ======================= "Experimental support for async IO has been added to smbd for certain platforms. To enable this new feature, Samba must be compiled to include the --with-aio-support configure option. In addition, the "aio read size" and

hi list, we recently saw the following weird behaviour on samba v3.0.13 with MacOSX panther and tiger as clients --setup-- [share1] path = /data valid users = @admins force user = administrator inherit permissions = yes force create mode = 770 force directory mode = 2770 [share2] path = /data/folder valid users = @noadmins force user = administrator inherit permissions = yes force create mode

hi@all i'm using netatalk and samba as fileserver for different clients (OS9,X,WinNT/2K/XP) to create shares, that are visible and accessible for all clients (via afp/smb) i created a folder and made it public in all daemons (atalk, samba) to get a better file handling i'm using the samba feature: vfs object = netatalk but there are still some problems files that are created via afp

hi i've been sucessfully using samba 3.0.0 and win2k/xp clients in a domain if i try to add a win2k/xp workstation in a samba 3.0.1 controlled domain (with the same smb.conf as the 3.0.0 PDC), i always get "no mapping between account names and security ids was done" the same workstation can enter a 3.0.0 controlled domain with no problems ! machine accounts were also created so

hi, it?s me again :( i?m still not able to use idmap_rid in a trusted domain environment (samba v3.0.20b Sernet). well, to be clear: NSS is not working (id, getent passwd <user>, ...) so samba does not find the posix information for any user from a foreign domain it?s working in a single domain with ##################################### # WINBIND - Settings idmap backend =

hi, i was able to successfully run vfs_shadow on a samba share with win xp shadow copy client. but i think it?s currently not implemented that one could export [homes] with this vfs object, because AFAIK each @GMT-snap has to resist directly under the samba share. but [homes] is a virtual share representing different shares (depending on users). has anybody hints about using vfs_shadow with

hi@all just for my understanding: in a samba 3.0 domain (samba 3.0 as pdc with ldap), i thought each machine, joining the domain, gets the SID $DOMAINSID-RID - whether in LDAP or the machine itself but when i check the SID of a machine account (for example locally on a windows xp client), it shows up a different SID (checked with psgetsid), but it can join/connect/browse the domain like a

hi, i see the same error message with samba 3.0.14a and OpenLDAP 2.2.23 (Debian Packages) with Master/Slave setup. i did not set up a referral to the master, so why does samba get a referral when attempting to write to a slave? is this an in-build samba feature? do i have to enable referrals to get this to work properly? any advise is appreciated! thx! micha Zwonarz Ivo wrote: > We use

hi list, we have some trouble with openldap (back-bdb) and samba. i think it's more a problem with openldap and bdb (http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200510/msg00185.html) but i want to know something about your experiences with openldap in large enterprises. what are your settings for slapd and bdb? or is there a better backend for slapd than bdb? which software versions are

hi after successfully migrating users and groups from NT to Samba v3 i'm looking for a way to transfer some 1TB data from our old NT PDC to the newer one - Samba just copying the data doesn't work, because we have to ensure data consictency (and we can't switch the NT PDC off on a weekend to copy it, because it would take too long [some old MAC shares included and the PDC just

hi as the subject already tells you: is it better (and "cleaner") to build samba v3 always as RPM and install it or - in case of an update of samba - simply overwrite the existing version with "configure && make && make install" ? normally there aren't too many changes in the paths of the install-scripts, so that all (old) samba files are correctly
