similar to: Getting Samba to only use filesystem permission checks

Hi, i'm experiencing a strange behavior in the way samba shows file and folders permissions under windows explorer. When i open the folder or file properties under windows (xp sp2 btw), it shows in the Security panel all the entries, both classical posix ones and posix acl ones; but if i select each one of them to see file permissions, it will show only the permission of users indicated

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 have a samba 3.0.14 server attached to a 2003 ADS server. (verified with: wbinfo -u/-g, getent passwd/group, net ads testjoin) And i can attach to the Samba server using an XP workstation's MMC, but when i attempt to change ACL's (share perms or security tab) i get a warning window popup stating, "Changes cannot be saved. Access is denied" I am logged into the AD/DC as

I'm preparing some boxes for production and have configured samba with winbind for ADS domain authentication but I've noticed that winbind will not start when the network is not connected. I think the proper operation should be to start but (of course) not function and log the inability to connect to the pdc. Instead I get this: PANIC: Could not fetch our SID - did we join? ... lots

I am attempting to save files from MS Word into a directory located on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine running Samba. For some reason, the files are always saved with permission 766 rather than 666, which is what I want them saved as. This is the pertinent part of the smb.conf. file. # Samba config file created using SWAT # Date: 2005/08/21 11:05:15 # Global parameters [global] lanman auth = no log file

Hi all. Im having a bit of a problem. I have about 20 Samba servers all over the country on 256/512 WAN links. We just upgraded our primary NT4 domain to mixed-mode Active Directory on Windows 2003. In addition to that we have a native-mode Active Directory domain on Windows 2003. We were planning on merging a couple of NT4 domains into 1 native mode Active Directory domain, but plans have

I have created a mapusers.bash script (listed below) for mapping Active Directory handles to unix logins. This script is currently working as documented. I would like some insight into how and when this script gets called. I assumed that upon establishing each samba connection, after the active directory handle gets authenticated with the domain controller it passes the domain\handle to this

Hi, does the output of the two commands really mean that the server FILESERVER is not in the domain?: # net getlocalsid SID for domain FILESERVER is: S-1-5-21-4161338278-3756552359-245403906 # net getlocalsid <domainname> SID for domain <domainname> is: S-1-5-21-2018781741-1218349122-1862352094 Is there another method to check if a server is in a domain? Can I use 'net rpc

Hello, since two days ago i've noticed that the winbind process take too much memory and it continue growing constantly. I have to restart it every day when it grows to 1.5GB. I'm using the last stable release from samba (3.0.20b-24) with ldap backend. Is there any one who can help me to discover what is wrong with winbind? i always have above 3 winbind processes running and netstat

Hi! Today I installed samba 3.0.21 on debian sarge. I see this error in syslog: Jan 4 18:07:27 2T-Samba smbd[8352]: [2006/01/04 18:07:27, 1] libads/ldap.c:ads_connect(292) Jan 4 18:07:27 2T-Samba smbd[8352]: Failed to get ldap server info why? I upgrade my pdc from samba 3.0.20b to 3.0.21 and in the previous version I didn't see this error. Can you help me? Thanks, Fabio

Hi! I wonder if there is som easy way to determine the permissions for a specific user on a share? Parsing smbcacls is the only solutions I can come up with right now but its not pretty! Thanks Henrik

Hello, I want to know at which time the tdb-File of a printer located at /var/lib/samba/printing will be updated? I have my printerdrivers! After this I looked at the directory and the files untouched. I have done some changes with the windows panels, but there are no changes of the timestamps? How does it work? regards Franz

These are already open. I'm pretty sure that NT4/2003 PDC's make a DCE/RPC over TCP connection to pull down the <1b> entries from the wins server. I have done packet captures on test NT4 wins server to see how PDC's pull their domain lists, and I see the port 135 three way handshake, which then gets switched over to a tcp port 1028 which is the dce/rpc requests and responses.

Hello list, I want to migrate from samba 3.0.14a to 3.0.2* . Now my question ; is it possible to keep the winbindd_idmap.tdb with new installation, because keeping that relations is a __MUST__ , otherwise i would have to run some unix scripts over the user directories to fix uids and gids of them. Thanks in advance for your hints. kind regards martin schreiber

Hi I have NT4 clients that have problem accessing my share: [ccview1_view02] (Because it's more then 8 character long) I would like to add an alias in this entry.

I know I could do like this: [ccview1_view01] comment = Views on ccase cluster guest ok = no path = /export/ccview1_view01 directory mask = 0775 create mask = 0775 writeable =

Hello! I'm running samba 3.0.20 on Solaris as PDC. But I cannot add Windows Server 2003 clients to the domain. After authenticating as root, I get the following error message: "The parameter is incorrect." in Windows. The result is that the computer isn't added to the domain. :( Any ideas? Thanks. The samba log says: [2005/12/05 15:54:37, 2]

Hi list ! Is it possible to run winbind on the pdc to get posix uids /gids ? I?ve successsfully ran winbind on an domain member server und was able to do wbinfo -u an got all the users in a domain but if I try the same setup working on the pdc directly all I get is "Error looking up domain users". I googled for two days now but I?m not getting the crucial clue. I?m using Samba 3.0.14
