similar to: pseudo domain login (fast user switch)

Greetings ... This is a stupid question which have been wanting to ask for awhile, and hope somebody can help me. Profiles, if I understand it correctly come in two forms, local and roaming? Now local in on the computer the user uses and roaming is one that is download from the server when the user logs in. Now, where my problem is, when I have some users who have huge documents folder,

Hello everyone, I could really use some help trying to diagnose a tricky issue within the domain I have set up. I am using samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 and openldap-2.3.27-8.el5_2.4 on a server running Centos 5.1. I have everything working properly within the domain, users can log in, netlogon scripts are run, their profile is loaded, etc. I have been extremely happy with this software and can't

Hello! I wonder if it is possible to send a logoff rpc signal? If it is not possible as today would it be possible if we could trace the rpc logoff signal sent p? MS own products? Any suggestions are welcome! Regards Henrik

Hi guys, Does anyone know of some decent Samba log analysis software that will report things like user logon/logoff times, computer names etc. ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, At first my context now: -Slackware 10.2 ( no PAM ), Samba 3.0.23a, OpenLdap 2.3.24, smbldap-tools 0.9.2. and before: -Slackware 10.0, Samba 3.0.10, Openldap 2.2.x, smbldap-tools 0.8x After adjustments in the LDAP configuration and smb.conf, my Samba is running. Workstations are ( almost completely ) W2K. I have already included, deleted and changed new users. I had

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as

I have multiple Windows 7 machines connecting to a Debian/Jessie server (4.1.17-Debian). They don't use active directory - never bothered converting (why look for trouble when the existing setup is working?) but do use roaming profiles. It takes them about 45 seconds to logon or off, which is acceptable. I also have one XP/64 machine that takes a lot longer. Logons are fast but logging

Hi Folks, I have searched the archives and the web for this issue, but I haven't found an answer. I need to be able to log or audit the network access of our network users. This information needs to be used in conjuction with a time and attendance punch clock. I have seen much discussion of using preexec and postexec for obtaining a network access log. However, my testing has shown this as

I'm hoping someone may have run across this issue before. I have a client running a relatively recent version of Samba (the exact version number escapes me at the moment). Windows XP client machines running against samba as a PDC with roaming profiles active. They can log off just fine, and their profile gets successfully written to the server... likewise when they log back on to the

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE with Samba 3.0.20 configured as a PDC serving a small-ish network (10 XP hosts). My problem concerns roaming profiles - some XP clients take ages to logon and logoff. On doing some Googling I identified the 'profile acls' parameter as being a likely fix. However, I seem to have got myself into one of two scenarios: a) With 'profile acls'

Hello. I am in the process of setting up a home network where 2 of the users will be kids. Because of this, I have decided that it would be nice to have a login time restriction for thier XP workstations, as well as an automatic logoff time. This can be done with any Windows domain controller, and I've had halfway luck with Samba. What I've done so far... I've gotten Samba to use PAM

Samba 4.0.4 installed, provisioned by classicupgrade, running on Debian Squeeze: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The issue is, that changes to the roaming profile is not transferred after log ins/outs between Win2K and XP machine. In example: I log into the W2k machine with my testuser and create a "testdir1" and "testdir2" on

I'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message:

Hi all.. I'm using Samba 3.0.2a on Mandrake 10, serving +/- 50 win98 clients. I'm using this options: logon path = \\%N\%U\profile logon home = \\%N\%U\profile but the roaming profile seems do not working... at least the way that I want. (maybe this is the right behavior). What I want: -> When an user logins on MACHINE1 the profile that is saved in Linux begin download to

Hello Is it possible to create a samba logoff script. I currently use netlogon for a logonscript. I also want a logoff scipt to allow me to back certain files up once a user logs off. Is this possible? If so how? -- REGARDS, Andy

Hi! Looking for a bit of help! I have been using Linux for a while as a hobby, and can get around it pretty quickly. I have created a Gentoo Samba server and set it as PDC with roaming profiles (there are several other services running on the server as well). I can login with my XP machines and the profile is downloaded to the machine but it is VERY VERY VERY slow. After a login is

OK, I've finally got my Samba-LDAP PDC operational. Everything seems to work fine but it takes an age to save settings when logging off. What can I do (i.e. what would one normally do) to speed things up? I do have a huge volume of files under ~/profile/My Documents Will this affect the logoff time? Jim C.

using samba v3 windows xp sp2 clients. i have profiles working to some extent, that is when i create a new user on the server, when that user logs in, the profile gets downloaded from the server from the /etc/netlogon/default user directory. any customizations that the user makes work just fine and get saved to the profiles share under profiles/username when the user tries to go to a different

I was just wondering how many people out there are using FreeBSD as a pdc. I see a few guides on the net mostly followed by a load of posts of problems people encounter. Is it like most things that once you have done it once you can soon set up a machine at the drop of hat as you encounter and remedy any problems. I have a few customers at the moment one of who requires a pdc with roaming
