similar to: Inclusion of libnss_wins in vendor distros?

It appears that you cannot include groups from trusted domains in the 'valid users =' directive on a share. Here is the scenario as I experienced it (names have been changed to protect the innocent): Configuration: - Samba 3.0.21b as a member server in a real NT4 domain (security = domain) called 'NTDOMAIN' - NTDOMAIN has a two-way trust with Windows 2003 Active Directory

I presently have a Samba server (3.0.21b) set up as a member server in an NT4 domain (with a real Windows NT4 PDC). We are migrating to an Active Directory domain (with a real Windows 2003 domain controller). We have set up a two-way trust between the old NT4 domain "CLUNKY" and the new ADS domain "SLEEK" (aka sleek.local). The Samba server is a member of the CLUNKY domain

Here's the situation. We've got an old NT4 domain (not a Samba domain in NT 4 mode) which we'll call CRUSTY. There is of course an NT4 PDC and several NT4 BDCs. We have some Linux/Samba file servers (Samba 3.0.1) that are member servers (security = domain) of the NT4 domain. We also have several NT4 BDCs and about 200 workstations of varying vintage (2000, XP) in several

Hello, all-- I've a question regarding using WINS for resolving names while on the unix box. As I understand it, you're supposed to add something to the /etc/nsswitch.conf file, but it's not clear to me whether it's supposed to be 'wins', 'winbind', or 'winbindd' as in the following example: hosts: files wins nisplus nis dns hosts: files winbind

You can see by the subject I've got an ugly problem. Even though I don't have a Samba server anywhere near the network in question, nobody understands browsing as well as the folks on the Samba team. :-) Here's the situation: I've got two workgroups, FLINTSTONE and RUBBLE which are on physically separate networks. FLINTSTONE has a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain

Migrating Users Profiles When Changing Domain Affiliation: A Primer I. Introduction NOTE: This applies to Windows NT-based systems with locally-stored user profiles. Windows 9x and Me do not manage user profiles in the same way. Quite often we find the need to change a workstation's affiliation, either from a workgroup (that is, the workstation is not in a domain environment) to a domain,

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

Could someone explain the use of libnss_wins within Samba 3? Currently utilizing libnss_ldap. -- Raymond

It appears that nsswitch/libnss_wins.so doesn't get built when the configure option --without-winbind is specified. Is this not useful when not using winbind? I thought it would allow a wins lookup for hosts on a Samba PDC regardless of whether or not winbind was being used. Thanks. Chris

I'm using Debian Sid, and it seems like Iceweasel (aka Firefox) has been crashing a lot lately with "Bus Error" printed to stdout when it dies. I use mono/.net and python, so my C/C++ debugging skills are very lacking. I was able to capture the following using gdb on Iceweasel: Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

A few tips when submitting to this or any mailing list. I may be preaching to the choir, but some of you can't carry a tune. 1) Make your subject short and descriptive. Avoid the words "help" or "Samba" in the subject. The readers of this list already know that a) you need help, and b) you are writing about samba (of course, you may need to distinguish between Samba PDC

Hello, I would like to share few things I have learned over time in my attempt to integrate all my Linux clients to an existing corporate Windows 2000 Active Directory (AD). I am a Linux admin for a small division in a large company and do not posses any special rights as far as AD goes. I ONLY have privileges on my division part of the tree in AD. Goals: - Integrate all Linux client to

Chapter 5 of Samba 3 By Example ( http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html ) states thusly: ----- Configuration of MS Outlook to Relocate PST File Microsoft Outlook can store a Personal Storage file, generally known as a PST file. It is the nature of email storage that this file grows, at times quite rapidly. So that users' email is available to them at every workstation

Mr. Gowda, Please review the following prior posts: "HOW TO: Migrating users' locally-stored profiles from one domain or workgroup to a new domain" http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-December/115326.html http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-December/115413.html Note that I have only performed this migration where the users had locally-stored profiles.

I just started at a new company and they do not have a server at all I want to put a samba server in place but I need to make sure that in the future I could add a windows server if we buy software that requires it. Does anybody know if this is possible to do? I ideally I would like it to import the users and their information to the AD on the windows server but is not required. Thanks

Hello. I've got a Samba server and I'd like it to be master browser and everything else except domain controller (the customers wants a workgroup, not a domain). Lately a Windows 2003 server was added to the net and then I guess it was removed.

Any recommendations for a Linux distro to put Shorewall on top of? My main concern is to be able to use a Windows NT PPTP VPN server behind the firewall. If I remember right, there were some issues with passing GRE traffic through some versions of the Linux kernel. Are they solved now or do I still have to do some cryptic kernel patches? Experiences with that? Thanks! Tim
