Hi there ! This is my first post and I really would like to have this stuff working ... if not, I should go to Win2k3 server .... please help me to avoid it !!!! I've been trying to integrate Mac OS X (10.3) clients to my Samba server through the Active Directory Plugin with no success. This PDC is currently working for 90 PC's with XP SP2. My server is well configured from the DNS (or

I think I found some of my cutover problems. I found a couple Win98 machines which had the same name for user and machine names. While it never seemed to be an issue in the Netware realm, under Samba, it appears to have undesirable results. Although the machines have been renamed, there still seem to be strange problems. Any ideas on where to fix/change/clean whatever to remove the machine

I have both an AD domain and an existing NIS setup, and would like to merge the accounts. It would seem from reading the help files that installing Services for Unix on my domain controllers and using the AD-integrated NIS server would work well. I wouldn't need to use winbind, and I would have not only consistent but predictable ID mapping, ie I can ensure that INTERNAL\jhatfield maps to UID

Hi, i have the Samba Server 3.0.20b running Debian 3.1 Sarge and clients with Mac Os X 10.4.3, after update to 10.4.3 version while the clients copy via Finder to Samba volume, after copy the files hide in directory.

Hi, I got samba 2.0.30b running on a Sparc machine with Solaris 10. I installed Kerberos 1.4.2 Openldap stable version 20051018 To compile Samba 2.0.30b with ADS Looks like Kerberos works kinit Administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM <mailto:Administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM> ==> works klist ==> shows ticket I added the server to the domain net join -U Administrator Joined

In reading the documentation I havn't found anything that covers the use of winbindd when authenticating against one domain (lets call it 'A') while also allowing users from a domain trusted by A (lets call it 'B'). My linux box is a member server in domain A which is a new domain we are working on transitioning to. We are not renaming because 2k server doesn't have that

Hi, I have been trying to join a Samba Domain member server to the AD and use LDAP for IDMAP storage. I have run into many strange issues and I was hoping someone can please take time to clarify things for me. I have read quite a bit (I own both the Samba books by Terpstra) and done a lot of Google searching. I think part of my problem is the unusual setup I have, as all the examples in the

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE with Samba 3.0.20 configured as a PDC serving a small-ish network (10 XP hosts). My problem concerns roaming profiles - some XP clients take ages to logon and logoff. On doing some Googling I identified the 'profile acls' parameter as being a likely fix. However, I seem to have got myself into one of two scenarios: a) With 'profile acls'

Hi all, Has anyone else had trouble (or not) with symlinks created in root preexec scripts and roaming profile directories? I'm trying to add a "shared links" director (symlink) to everyone's favorites, and I get error loading profiles where a symlink loop is forming (ends up with something like "cannot copy

I've been at this for hours now and am still not getting it to work. I've been through the lists trying to find an answer and so far as I can tell, everything is configured OK. Obviously it's not, but I'm stuck. I recently installed Squeeze on my home server, overwriting a Lenny installation. I've been able to add my NT (Windows XP/Pro) domain accounts back in and pdbedit

Hello everyone. Well, I have a couple of questions regarding roaming profiles. I have been assigned the task of setting up a Samba PDC on our network. Lately, I have been doing a lot of research and reading to find out the best way I setup my system. I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask here, in hopes of getting some feedback. First, some details: The server will be Red Hat 8.0 with

Greetings, I have a Suse 9.3 server running 3.0.9 as a PDC, using OpenLDAP as the passdb and idmap backend. I also have a 3.0.9 server set up as an OpenLDAP slave, but it only serves files. I decided that I'd like to set this other server up to service logins as well. When I add the "domain logons = yes" in this server's smb.conf file, I get some rather strange behavior.

Hi, I have a samba server running on Linux (RedHat 9.0), with the security set to user and 3 valid user IDs. The clients are 3 PCs running on Windows XP (HomeEdition) and connected through a router. From the PCs running Windows I can see the localhost (Sambas Server), but for some reason one PC can only connect to the share directory on the Samba Server. The questions are as follows. 1. Should

Hi list, I intend to run an old pentium 133 as a linux-based fileserver on my home network (I have to use windows for my main machine and laptop!) Im having great diffiuculty synching the data, email, etc on my laptop and desktop, so I thought I might configure samba to act as a DC and use roaming profiles to make sure that my data is always synched. My question is this: is it worth the effort?

Hi, I am running an old CentOS 4 server with samba 3.4.9 and am trying to move to a new server running Centos 6 and the latest stock samba 3.5.10-125. Upon trying to switch over to the new server, I noticed that accessing shares and copying files worked perfectly fine, however upon login off, the roaming profile fails with error message: Your roaming profile was not completely synchronized.
