Hi! Since the upgrade from 3.23d to 3.24 I can't log into a XP machine (Domain controller not found or machine account not valid ...) Samba shows: eb 6 09:48:03 rk01 smbd[14115]: [2007/02/06 09:48:03, 0] rpc_server/srv_dce_funnel.c:ncalrpc_open_funnel_socket(68) Feb 6 09:48:03 rk01 smbd[14115]: ncalrpc_open_funnel_socket: could not access /PIPE/lsass Feb 6 09:48:03 rk01 smbd[14115]:

I have made some changes to try and get the PDC working and now I am down to one thing where I believe the problem lies. All such documents on the setup show that the addition of users to the PDC should be added to passwd as well as LDAP but for my system that is not the case. I am running the listed software: Fedora Core 4 OpenLDAP 2.2.23 Samba 3.0.14a This is what currently happens when I

I was wondering, if it's possible to set up Samba as a sort of a domain controller for Linux workstations? I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org

Does the domain administrator SID always end with -1000? I.e., if the SID for the domain is: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666 does this mean that the domain administrator's SID would be: S-1-2-33-4444444444-555555555-6666666666-1000 ? How can I get the SID number for any given user? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org WPKG - software deployment and upgrades with Samba

I have two offices in one city; employees work in both of them (once in office A, the next or an hour later in office B etc.). They would like to have the same profile (i.e., if they log off in office A, they would like to have their documents, Desktop, emails etc. in the profile in the office B when they arrive there an hour later). Is it possible with rsync to construct such a "two way

According to the smb.conf man page, the "dos filemode" parameter will allow a user who is not the owner of a file to affect permissions changes on a file or folder provided he has write access to that object. This does not appear to be the case. Users with write access via user or group ACEs receive an "Access denied" error when attempting to make ACL changes via windows,

I use wine from time to time, but I don't know how to deal with "ugly font problem".

I'm just exploring the Profile Editor, described on http://www.pcc-services.com/custom_poledit.html - and policies saved to NTConfig.pol file and copied to the netlogon share work great for Windows XP machines. However, with Windows 2000, they don't work at all. Winh XP machines - policies are applied. I see in Samba logs that the NTConfig.pol is copied from the server to the w2k

I have two serves set up. One will be my PDC (master) and the other will be my BDC (slave). I have openldap setup and replicating the data between the two servers. Everything seems to work fine from the Master, but I have one problem with the slave. From the slave, I can do an ldapsearch and everthing is fine. But when I do a 'pdbedit -L', I get the following: Unknown parameter

Hello all, Here's a good conversation starter. How do people deploy new software (office,adobe,java,etc...) on their client machines with AD? Dom

Hello, I run a Windows domain based on Samba 3 and I am searching for a way to distribute/deploy software to clients. I.e., a user logging on to a client, software should be automatically installed or upgraded. Is there any common solution? I heard of MSI packages, but I don't know if it is necessary to create MSI packages of all installations... Thanks Florian

Hi all, Just a quick question about login scripts for a large number of users who change rooms a lot. I have several rooms each with a printer, and nearly a thousand users divided into two main groups - pupils and teachers who change rooms on a routine basis. Is it possible to set up multiple login scripts that would be executed in sequence i.e. run by user is %u, and machine is %m is it

I am looking for some solution, working with Samba preferably, which would allow multiple users to work on one document. This means that if a user makes a change to the document, a previous version of that document is saved somewhere else. For example, user A opens a document (rw - read/write, ro - read-only document): rw \\server\share\document.txt User makes some changes, and saves it to
