similar to: The single WINS problem: question

Since we're on the subject of Samba over the WAN.... (BTW, I'm running three offices with a Samba 3.0.9 PDC and two Samba 3.0.9 BDCs over an FreeSwan based WAN and it works just fine. The WINS server is a must in my book though.) Last Thursday and Friday, one of the remove office's WAN lines went down. While the outages were significant, nothing major happened because of it. But,

Hi, i've just migrated from nt4 to samba 3.0.10-1.4E.9 with tdbsam, running on Centos 4.4 The net rpc vampire went fairly smoothly. Now that samba is running as the PDC (nt4 machine has been laid to rest) i am having trouble renaming computers in the domain. If i try this from the windows workstation (XP Professional) i get access denied. I use "root" or administrator which is

Hello fellows, Does anyone of you has found the hack to permit win xp home edition to join a domain controller. I found somewhere on the net a software that does this. But it cost 145 $ US, so like the upgrade... ( the only difference in that i will not give the money to Bill Gates) My problem is with the password modification. Every times someone does change his password, he has to go onto the

Hello list, i did a quite sucessfull net rpc vampire but one promblem remains. Everything is fine, but the user group memberships aren't restored. Only alle primary group member ships are restored. every user is in the primgrp (4126 Users). All Groups (2659) are restored including sids. but no membership is restored! I don't know why. here's my command: net rpc vampire -l -S nt4pdc

Hello, I got this problem: I want to mount a directory without providing a login/password [indicaf$]. I thought that "guest ok = yes" would be sufficient. But it not works. What option is the right one to open a share to everyone without a login box in windows ? Thanks. This is my smb.conf (samab v3.0.7): tccwebcom# more smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from

I have been testing with openldap_2.2.13-2 and have experience on 2 occasions lockups where the ldap server does not respond (slapcat will just hang). I have upgraded to openldap_2.2.13-4. Is there a recommended version of openldap for SambaPDC? Does anyone have a system in production using openldap_2.2.13-2 or openldap_2.2.13-4? I'm currently using samba3-20b any recommendations for a

Hello, I am running Suse Linux 9.3 an Samba 3.0.20pre. I want to set up a folder where the user can only store files and copy them to an other folder. The User should not be able to delete modify or open the stored messages. Any ideas how I can realize this? Thanks! Greez

hi, weird thing: i thought when commenting out "delete user script" and "ldap delete dn" nobody is able to delete users from the domain. what happens: users are deleted, to be more specific their samba attributes are deleted but not their posix values. i won't let our admins delete users from our domain becaus we have another management to add/delete users to/from a

I would like some clarification on Winbind's capabilities. I have winbind up and fully functional. I can use wbinfo -g, wbinfo -u, etc.. I would like to use winbind to correlate sids to uid on filesystems mounted with smbfs or cifs. In reading further I see lots of information about doing this on EXT3 (or Linux filesystems that support ACL). Perhaps, I had misunderstood the purpose of

hello all, im trying to figure out the precedence of security parameters in smb.conf. i know that settings in specific shares take precedence over settings in global; 'invalid users' takes precidence over all other security settings. but others im not so clear on, such as: does 'read only' take precedence over 'write list'? or do later entries simply overwrite earlier

Is there a way to change SAMBA Domain SID? My SAMBA PDC Server hard drive crashed. I have created a new install with new Samba PDC Server. I know my old Domain SID. Is there a way to change the New Domain SID to original SID? I have read losts of thread here. I have tried "net setlocalsid SID" command on the SAMBA PDC Server. But, that did not change the Domain SID. I have

We're running Samba 3.0.4.0 on AIX 5.2 and I am using the create mask value in the smb.conf to try and set the default permissions but I can't seem to get the values right. I want the default permissions to be rwxrwx--- Setting the mask to 770 gets me rwxrw---- I've tried several options but can't seem to get the execute value on the group. If someone can either let me know

Hello. In the Samba by Example book theres a section called "Effect of Setting File and Directory SUID/SGID Permissions Explained", that shows an example of the effect of SUID/SGID bits. The SGID bit when setted in directories makes the files inherit the group owner, but I couldn't make the SUID bit on directories work, making files inherit the owner. The

Hi all, If I have a linux server running samba for filesharing and I use NFS to make these shares available on another linux server that also runs samba to share the same shares will the locking still work properly? I can use this to get around an issue with multiple authentication domains and I suspect NFS is less chatty than SMB anyway so will mean a peformance win as well across the WAN. Can

I use winbind+AD for single sign-on to many Linux machines, and the Linux hosts automount home directories on one Linux file server. I am faced with a need to synchronize the *.tdb files on the file server with all the Linux machines for consistent UID-to-loginID mapping. Has this been tried by sharing the /var/lib/samba/ over nfs with the other servers? Are there any pitfalls? Has this been

I am using a .bat logon script (the same for all users) and it avoids that I have to configure each user manually. But now I have to run a command that requires administrator rights on two files, and the command I write in the .bat file doesn't work. Do you know how to run the logon script as the local machine Administrator? After all, the logon script is on the server and only me can

Hi All, I have a Samba PDC on my Suse 9.3 machine serving up to 25 clients with a OpenLdap backend.The samba user password also *sync's with the LDAP Password and the Local User password*. All Samba users also have a local user account which is used by IMAP Server Accounts & Cyrus Authentication on the same machine. (So, One Password to email and samba for all users, if the

Hi there, we need to implement the following scenario: - Samba server 3.0.22 (NOT acting as a domain controller; we don't use Windows networking domains) - users use Linux and Windoze - anonymous users accessing a certain share should be granted read-only access - successfully authenticated users should be given read-write access - authentication should be performed against an LDAP that
