We have a Sun E450 running Solaris 8 and Samba 2.2.8a as our domain controller. We have had no problems with Samba until earlier this week when we have started to get lots of these errors in log.smbd: [2003/08/08 16:29:14, 0] lib/debug.c:(348) Unable to open new log file /home/samba_pearl/var/log.smbd: Too many open file s This has been happening once a day, at the same time some users are not

Upgraded our Solaris 8 and 9 servers from 3.0.2a to 3.0.3. After upgrading any user that was in more than 16 Unix groups wasn't able to map any drives. I get this error in the log file: [2004/05/04 12:23:30, 0] auth/auth_util.c:get_user_groups(695) get_user_groups: failed to get the unix group list [2004/05/04 12:23:30, 0] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(260) check_sam_security:

Just setup a new domain controller running Samba-3.0.20b. Using smbpasswd file (no LDAP). How do I setup a group of users so they become domain administrators? I thought I just typed this: % net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmin I am in group unix ntadmin, but I'm it doesn't seem to work. Michael -- Michael Keightley

We have a Windows 2003 server that is a member of a Samba 2.2.8a domain. We can browse to this Samba server through "My Network Places" and map a drive to a share on this server. We also have a number of Samba 3.0.1 servers (running Solaris 8 and Red Hat 7.0). These are member servers of the Samba 2.2.8a domain. Using "My Network Places" on the Windows 2003 server, double

Just swapped our Solaris SAMBA PDC for a SuSE Linux machine. It's the domain controller as well as print server (via CUPS). It's running SuSE 9.3 with Samba-3.0.20b. The setup is identical to the old Solaris machine, had to re-add all machines to the domain. Has been working OK for 2 days then suddenly some people couldn't print and I can no longer add printers to any XP machine.

Have just upgraded from 3.0.13 to 3.0.20 on our Solaris domain controller. Machine is also print server running CUPS-1.1.23. We have a RICOH network printer that we print to via Samba (the printer seems to have a builtin Windows PC). smbspool is linked to /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb and the appropriate DeviceURI is in /etc/cups/printers.conf. This works fine with 3.0.13, but with 3.0.20 I get this

Tried to upgrade our Samba 2.2.8a domain controller (Solaris 8) to Samba 3.0.2a. Compiled using gcc 3.3.2, linked to libiconv-1.8, popt-1.7 and cups-1.1.20. I shut down the Samba 2.2.8a. Removed everything in var/locks. Did a "make install" to install 3.0.2a, then restarted Samba. My smb.conf is basically the same as 2.2.8a with "domain admin group" removed. When I stared

We're using Cups and Samba with Adobe Postscript Drivers to print from XP SP2 machines via our Solaris and Linux Domain Controllers. Everything has been working OK, but when I setup an a new printer (identical ppd file to another one), it doesn't download the drivers on XP when I add the printer. This is happening on two domain controllers in different offices. It gives the error when

Our domain controller is running Samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 8. We have XP laptops. We swap between a builtin network card, docking port and wireless card. All of these have separate IP addresses. If I say, boot up with the wireless card, then remove it and use the builtin network card, the IP address in wins.dat on the server doesn't change. It still has the IP address of the wireless card.

Upgraded the domain controllers in our 2 sites from 3.0.20 to 3.0.22. The one running Suse Linux is working fine, but the Solaris 8 domain controller doesn't list any XP machines in its browse list (the Firewall is off on the XP machines). Lists Unix machines, 2000 and 2003 machines. This was all working in 3.0.20. Has anything changed? Below the global part of our smb.conf:

I'm having some odd problems with USRMGR and Samba group accounts. USRMGR seems to work fine for user accounts, and it also correctly displays the list of group objects (these are all stored in LDAP btw). This can be seen in http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-main.gif Two of the groups can be managed while the other two cannot. For example, http://www.ehsco.com/misc/samba/umgr-admins.gif

After trying to get all the policy stuff nailed down I figured I'd save others the trouble, so I wrote up a primer and posted it on my site at http://www.ehsco.com/reading/20051031.html Hoepfully that will save others some trouble -- Eric A.

I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

Hi, I've been using TrippLite's PowerAlert software with my RM2200XL2U rack system and my APC BackUPS desktop systems. Unfortunately it doesn't work with openSUSE 10.2 (the software has problems with the serial port and UPS interfaces on openSUSE 10.2), so I've been looking at other options. I see that openSUSE 10.2 includes NUT, and it appears to work with my TrippLite UPS via

Hi there, I just saw samba added the "net rpc service" for Win32 service management since 3.0.20, and it's fantastic. I used to use samba-tng to do this job, but now I can use samba! However, I also found it has limited usage. I cannot pass parameters when I start a service, and I cannot create a new service, too. Is there any plan for samba to extend this feature? -- Best

I'm currently using the suse ldapsmb utility for all the script operations, but I want to do some custom script work for creating user and machine accounts. For example, I want to manipulate the default object classes and directory placement for new machines--putting them into ou=Devices instead of ou=Users, and giving them the parent objectClasses of account and ipHost [for NIS and DHCP

Hi list. I've decided to try and tackle this one piece at a time. Does anyone know why I would get the following error: [root@primary ~]# net groupmap list [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_setsamgrent(2458) ldapsam_setsamgrent: LDAP search failed: Size limit exceeded [2005/09/15 12:44:08, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_enum_group_mapping(2523) ldapsam_enum_group_mapping:

Hello, I am running Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9, and I am trying to get Samba to authenticate using LDAP. I am using the YaST system tool to configure the LDAP server, LDAP client, and SAMBA. The issue I am having is that after I configure the Samba server to use the LDAP backend it prompts me for a password creation for the root user. This root user will be added to the LDAP
