similar to: What file gets corrupted in Samba when perms stop working correctly?

We have bumped into a most odd problem. Server: Debian Etch and their Samba 3.0.24-2 Client: WinXP SP2, MSI v3, all hot fixes The following settings are in place on the server: #!/bin/bash # # initGrps.sh # Map Windows Domain Groups to UNIX groups net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin rid=512 type=d net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Users"

Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's. I mount several shares with this sort of syntax: /bin/mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/userid/.smbcredentials,uid=userid,gid=userid,dmask=0777,fmask=0666 //ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/ However when I create new files/dirs on the Samba share from the Linux workstation, the perms are not 0666/0777

My original thread had the incorrect subject line. The original trouble / question remains open and unsolved. Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's.

Greetings- I am wondering if anyone from the Samba team would happen to have interest in creating official builds for Ubuntu? To add a twist, unfortunately I would not be fishing for 7.10 packages, but rather 7.04 as we ran into too many issues with 7.10 whereas 7.04 seems rock solid stable. Or, are there packages built of Samba releases for Ubuntu external to samba.org? Thanks, -- Michael

Dear all I have install samba + ldap and it is successfully joing the domain but problem is when i login in XP machine with Administrator account of samba i cannot change anything in XP even not system time so is it problem of privileges ?? $ cat ~/satish/url.txt http://www.linuxbug.org

Greetings- I have not found discussed / documented what to do with machine accounts when moving a Samba PDC to new hardware. I have seen that uid/gid numbers must match between the old/new system. I am thinking to use adduser to accomplish that, then make the numbers on the new server match, using a text editor. After that, can I simply enter the machine account entries by hand with a text

Typical Linux Distros add all sorts of Unix groups to users when it creates them, like cdrom, floppy, dialout, audio, etc... Logging in to the domain from Windows with an account that has such membership over on Linux... "ifmember.exe /list" shows all of those memberships. Why exactly? I would expect only the groups I did a "net groupmap" on would be considered by Samba.

<rant>Every time I set up a new test Samba server, the step to "net rpc rights grant..." ALWAYS fights me tooth and nail... ALWAYS with a different error message. I've even created little scripts to run so I am not typing commands incorrectly... but NNNOOOOOO, the script to grand rights to one stink'n account always has to complain!</rant> OK, this time it is...

Recent list messages got me thinking... Is there a way to support both local and roaming profile with one server / domain? As I understand it, the "magic" line that tells Samba not to do roaming profiles is the smb.conf line: logon path = Which the line must exist, and must be set to null. But that is in the global section. So is there a way to support both local and roaming...

One of the servers we admin has countless such errors in log.smbd: [2007/05/07 14:17:08, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(783) tdb(/var/cache/samba/printing/HPLJ3600.tdb): rec_read bad magic 0x443810ec at offset=28412 The only thread I saw regarding "rec_read" stated: <><><><><> If this really happens often to you, then you have some basic problems with your

I am testing out Debian Etch, and ran into an issue granting SeMachineAccountPrivilege to an account... which granting that permission had been troublesome in the past. The command I am issuing is: net rpc rights grant LDS-DEMO\\ldsinst SeMachineAccountPrivilege And I try running the command with an account that is a member of the "Domain Admins" group. The command returns: Failed to

I see that the w32time service as it is configured when a Win2K Pro client joins a Samba PDC Domain is not configured in such a way that the service is able to successfully sync time with Samba. I:\>w32tm -source -v W32Time: BEGIN:InitAdjIncr W32Time: Adj 100144 , Incr 100144 fAdjust 0 W32Time: END:Line 2503 W32Time: BEGIN:TsUpTheThread W32Time: END Line 1407 W32Time: TimeMMInit()

I am somewhat confused... I understand that the preferred method to mount a Samba share with a Linux client is to use "mount -t cifs" rather than "mount -t smbfs". I get the impression that smbfs is samba.org developed code where as cifs is from elsewhere. Thus the point of confusion. Why is samba.org not developing the preferred code in this case? A sub question to that

First off, on the Windows side I use "ifmember.exe /list" to check the group membership in affect for the currently logged in domain user, works like a charm. However, Linux side is another story, specifically the net command. We have, among others, the following mapping in place: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin Based on this documentation:

man smb.conf does not specifically say admin users supports @groupname syntax. Google turns up lots of examples of it being used, but everyone hanging their smb.conf's up to air does not mean they are 100% accurate either. Here, Samba 3.0.4 in PDC mode, I can not get it to accept the name of a group in /etc/group, user ID's only. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper

We use MS DOS 7 ala Win98 SE and the M$ client for DOS to logon to Samba 3.0.13 Debian Stable package from samba.org. Also one other unique thing, we have XCOPY32.EXE copied as XCOPY.EXE thus it is really XCOPY32.EXE we are executing, just as XCOPY.EXE. ;-) Example of failing line of code... echo f|xcopy u:\foo\bar.txt h:\file.txt where U: is the drive mapped to the server and H: is a local RAM

Subject pretty much askes it all. For those that run OS/2 eCS against Samba servers on a regular basis... looks like I might have to head back in that direction. I am trying to avoid NetBIOS which means the usual SrvIFS I would prefer to have go bye bye once and for all. I did get SrvIFS-IP from the "Beyond DHCP" RedBook yesterday, but is has memory corruption on the server daemon side

Greetings- We utilize the smbpasswd text file back end. One machine (VM machine) suddenly thinks its entry in the Samba PDC's smbpasswd file is no longer correct. Is there a way to fetch that number back out of a Windows 2000 workstation and "paste" it into the smbpasswd file to re-trust the workstation? Thanks! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Greetings- Perhaps slightly OT, but still involving the SMB/CIFS protocol: I am searching for an application which would allow a Linux client (Ubuntu) to send/receive WinPopup messages. The only one I have located thus far is LinPopup. However, it depends on the Samba (server) package. I do not want to deploy a bazillion Samba servers! TIA! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Is there a trick to append an additional directory level onto the defauly behavior of a [homes] share looking in /etc/passwd to find the users Linux home dir? It would offer a bit of protection if Windows clients ended up in say the WinHome directory within their Linux home directory when logging in from Windows so they are not tempted to tamper with their desktop settings files for Linux from
