similar to: Removing stale host/workgroups in browse lists

In the headquarter of my Institution we have some 300 windows PCs, distributed like this: domain1: 100 clients in a consolidated samba 3.0.5-2 domain (RH 9.0) domain2: 20 clients in an incipient samba 3.0.14a-2 domain (FC4) 80 clients to be joined to domain2 without domain: 150 clients beloging to some three workgroups We outsourced the deployment of a LDAP server and we are in the

Hi, This may be a dumb question (I'm new with this), but is it possible to use SAMBA in combination with LDAP in a Workgroup? All the manuals and examples I can find, are talking about Domains and PDCs. I have to set up a new Samba server and checkout LDAP but I'm not allowed to change the Workgroup settings... Now we use smbpasswd... Is LDAP worth the effort and time? Kind

I have problems to get browse lists from other workgroups across subnets. On win95 network neighbourhood I have a complete list form all computers in the same workgroup (including computers located on an other subnet) and a workgroup list. But if I try to look at the computers on an other workgroup I get an error message: workgroup not available. The subnet has an samba server (2.0.3) configured

Is this situation a gotcha? Or it may be that I'm looking at the problem wrongly . . We have NT servers as PDCs in many regional centres and our head office. Each local area is a domain. Each local area is also a workgroup, of the same name. Now we have been having problems when someone goes from a regional office with their portable and plugs into head office. Suddenly the WINS server

Hello, I have a few questions. I have network like this: (A)---------(MS)--------(SS)-------(B) | | inet (C) Ms and SS are linux servers with samba. others are workstations with WinMe. Can I make all subnets and all computers to see all computers on all subnets without using WINS? So A should see SS, B and C. Because between MS and SS is very long network

With a single server, settings "security = server" and "password server = pdc1 pdc2', I can successfully authenticate against two entirely different PDCs depending on which order I put the two machines in the 'password server' list. Is there someway of forcing clients from either domain to authenticate against the 'right' pdc, regardless of the order in the

Like many, I administer multiple LANs connected together using NT trust relationships. This was implemented about 4 years ago. I now have the occasion to consider performing this same task again, but this time, I would like to implement it solely through samba - no Microsoft PDCs anywhere. I have read documentation on samba.org regarding NT-style trust relationships and am now wondering, can I

I loaded the NT4 Domain Manager tools and tried to use UserMgr to add some users. The add users sections of the menu are grayed out and I cannot do the deed. I've tried a variety of things. The machine was a member of the domain, I was logged in a administrator, which seemed to map as root in Samba, but still all I could do is look, not touch. Any ideas what I did wrong this time?

Hi, Here is my scenario:- 1. I got 1 LDAP server with two domains (A & B) configured to it. 2. Both domain PDCs are fully trusted to one another. I did the "trustdom establish" both ways. 3. I have 1 XP client that has joined Dom A. The login bar can allow you to login to 2 domains. 4. I can managed to login to both domains. 5. I got all the sambaHomePath and home drive

I have a classic NT4 domain with the PDC also the wins server. With the recent ransomware problem, we're trying to remove SMB1 and below protocols. However when I do this, the browse list is gone. Hosts can access properly the shares, but they have to know exactly \\machine\share in order to to connect. The same thing from a linux client: smbclient -L {PDC} -m SMB2 Domain=[{MYDOMAIN}]

Hi, Is it true that Samba 2.2.x PDC does not support trust relationships to other Windoze NT PDCs? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hola folks, After a few years of slowly phasing in various Linux and BSD platforms, the company I work for is willing to take a hard look at replacing its existing Windows NT domain controllers with a Linux/Samba combination. We only have about sixty people in our main office, but most of my experience is with smaller deployments. I'm not looking for step-by-step instructions, that's

Hi people: I've been using Samba for a long time with some "basic" features like Samba working as a PDC, integrated with OpenLDAP, being a print server, among others, for a small number of "almost controlled" users (no more than 30 or 50 users). But now I'm interested to implement a Windows domain using Samba for a University with 6000-8000 users distributed through

Hi, I have a samba 2.2.1a (cvs-06.08.2001) running as PDC for my domain, and it is doing fine. But in the broadcast domain there are severeal other workgroups (no domains) with their own Domain Master Browsers. Additionaly there are always a lot of unconfigured computers not under my control, which build their own workgroups (e.g. mdkhome, workgroup...). My problem is now, how do I prevent all

Hi, I have the following situation: 192.168.64.0/24 is my local network. .1 is my PDC (samba 2.2.6) workgroup is vanheusden 192.168.97.0/24 is an intranet somewhere else to which I'm connected through a vpn. workgroup is enderman ip-forwarding is enabled on 192.168.64.1 (my default gateway and endpoint for the vpn) on 192.168.64.1 I've set hosts allow to 192.168. and 127. hosts allow =

I've run into this problem a few times now and still haven't figured out how to fix it without shutting down my entire network. We get a lot of guest and transient computers belonging to different workgroups. The gleefully add themselves to the SAMBA domain master and the SAMBA master browse never gets rid of them. Isn't there some sort of timeout or interface where these can be

hi, until now (about 1 year ago) i was working only with samba3+ldap PDC, but in near future my company enlarge his network with 6 new branchs spreaded all oever the country and i must build a scalable network with Samba-3 PDCs and BDCs, implement LDAP replication and multiple LDAP backends, all this over some VPNs(ipsec) . so, can tell me anyone how work the relationship beetwen a samba3-ldap

I have Samba running without a PDC and I have some questions about the advantages for implementing one with Samba vs. the problems and disadvantages. Perhaps some kind souls can help me determine whether I should do this or not. We have three offices connected by a Checkpoint VPN, plus people "on the road" using their SecureClient tool. We want everyone to be able to get to all the

(Samba version 1.9.18p4) I want to set up my environment thusly: - 2 workgroups, each composed of multiple subnets. - Each workgroup has a DMB and a WINS server (Samba only - no NT) - The two workgroups should collate browse lists so that clients on either workgroup can browse and connect to hosts on the opposite workgroup. I've read the documentation in BROWSING.txt and it does not appear
