similar to: RESOLVED? Shares Problem

Folks, I'm running SUSE Pro 9.3 with Samba 3.0.13, and I have LAN with 2 subnets. The problem (or the symptom; I may actually have two problems) is that I can't get into some of the shares from my Win2k box (one subnet) or from my XP laptop (other subnet). The directory structure is /data /data/accounts /data/finsvcs and the shares are accounts and

Hi! All: How can i get domain members of a domain group? I tried getent group, but only get the gid infomation. There isn't member infomation at the last field as local group is. Thanks for your help.

Folks, I'm trying to achieve control over who logs into a share according to the group to which that person belongs, but with no luck. I'm running SUSE Pro 9.3 and Samba 3.0.13, with a Win2k machine on one subnet and an XP laptop on another subnet. In all cases, the user, instead of getting into his share transparently, gets invited to log in, and then the login is rejected.

I'm at my wit's end on this, and I hope someone can help. I'm running SUSE Pro 9.3 with Samba 3.0.13, and I can't get connected to my shares properly. Valid users (e.g., for [accounts]) is set to %G, and I've confirmed that the users are members of the owning groups for the shares and that they are in the passwd and smbpasswd files with the same passwords as on the Win2k

Folks, I'm having a problem connecting to some shares, and not to others. I'm running SUSE 9.3 and Samba 3.0.22pre1 with a Win2k PC on one subnet and an XP laptop on a separate subnet. The problem is that with three shares out of eight, I get a "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" error message; I get appropriate accesses to the remaining five. Googling the

Folks, I'm running a Samba server (SUSE 9.3 and Samba 3.0.22pre1) on a 2-subnet LAN, with a Win2k PC on one subnet and an XP laptop on the other. When I boot up the server and then the two windows devices at the start of a day, everything comes up just fine, the server appears in Network Neighborhood and in Explorer, and I have access to my shares normally. However, my problem is this:

I'm running SUSE 9.3 with Samba 3.0.21a, but I can't connect to some shares, even though I can connect to others just fine. I get into my home share, netlogon share, printer shares, etc, but three shares all get me the same answer in response to <smbclient -L //server/share>: I get back an NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error. All users are correctly in passdb, passwd, etc. I have

Folks, I'm having trouble connecting to my Samba server. The immediate symptom is that I cannot see my Samba server in my Windows Network Neighborhood, and so I cannot connect to it to check my share connections. I'm running SUSE 9.3 on the server, which is running Samba (3.0.22) , a dhcp server (which seems to be running correctly--everyone gets an address when they ask for one),

OK, I've got this one working, but only by enumerating the valid users in the "files" share--%S wouldn't work in the valid users field (e.g., "smbclient //<servername>/files" would simply give an NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED error). This would be OK for a small LAN, but for small enterprises or LANs with 75-100 users, as some on this list have mentioned, that

Folks, I'm trying to add a network interface card to my SUSE 9.3 box, and I'm not having much luck with a US Robotics version. What manufacturer do any of you use in your machines--either 10/100MB or GigE NIC?

And my last post on the matter. This is why I won't do business with USR again anytime soon. They couldn't even be bothered to tell me this on my first query to them.

Folks, I have two problems that may be related, and I'm hoping that with the mailing list back on the air, some of you can offer some help on resolving them/it. I'm running SUSE 9.3 and Samba 3.0.21a (which is managing a LAN with an XP laptop and a Win2k PC). Samba has joined the domain and is the PDC, winbindd is running, wins support = yes. The first problem is that, while I can

Folks, I realize this is off topic, and if anyone can suggest a better source for the question, I'd be glad to go there. Novell SUSE's support is unresponsive, however. My problem is this: I'm running 9.3 Pro on an Intel server board that has two NIC chips built in (a 10/100 and a GigE). I've since added a Netgear GigE NIC. However, every time I reboot, the NICs assigned to

Dumb question time; I can't find the answer in the Samba-3 or HOWTO docs: how do you add users to the passdb.tdb (tdbsam's db)? Is pdbedit the only way? I ask because the Chapt 3 Samba-3 example has passdb = tdbsam in the samba config file, but the instructions for adding users are to use useradd and smbpasswd, which leave passdb.tdb empty (except for root--I have no idea how that

I'm currently running SUSE Pro 9.3 with samba-3.0.13-1.1-SUSE, and I'm trying to upgrade to 3.0.20b. When I try to rpm -Uvh samba-3.0.20b and samba-client-3.0.20b, I get the failed dependency "samba = 3.0.13 is needed by (installed) samba-vscan-0.3.5-37.2." How do I resolve this dependency? I'd prefer not to force it in, as that often generates more problems than it

List, I'm having trouble accessing shares, and I'm getting conflicting indications on whether I've successfully joined the domain with my PC and Samba server (which may bear on the share problem). I really could use some help; I've not been able to recognize anything in the docs or via Google that helps. I'm running SUSE 9.3 and Samba 3.0.21a, and I'm trying to

Hi, ntsysv doesn't list the samba daemons (smbd, nmbd), and while I could use chkconfig, it appears, to add the daemons, I'd rather do this via the rcx.d links so I can understand what's going on.

Actually, my problem turns out to be even more basic and foolish than that. I assumed that since the relevant Kill files were present in the ls listing, then the Start files would be, too. Nope. I had to make those soft links; when I did, everything worked properly. Eric Hines -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Paul Gienger <pgienger@ae-solutions.com> <snip> Date: Sun, 27
