hello I've been reading the thread (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113286376900001&r=1&w=2) and I have the same limitation with WINS in a PDC/BDC. That's why I have the following (experimental) setup: PDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: master ldap BDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: slave ldap I configured some of my XP clients to use both WINS servers

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, 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

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.

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

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

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

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 All, I installed samba 3.0.22 and join it to Win2003 AD domain. Users from my domain can access the samba shares successfully. My problem is that users from trusted domains can not access to my samba shares Wbinfo -m - show all the trusted domains Wbinfo -u - show all the users include the trusted domains users. Any Idea? My smb.conf global parameters: # Global parameters

hi i've been sucessfully using samba 3.0.0 and win2k/xp clients in a domain if i try to add a win2k/xp workstation in a samba 3.0.1 controlled domain (with the same smb.conf as the 3.0.0 PDC), i always get "no mapping between account names and security ids was done" the same workstation can enter a 3.0.0 controlled domain with no problems ! machine accounts were also created so

Can anyone recommend any solutions for plucking files out of my samba shares that haven't been used in a while. I would like someway to move them off to some archive solution. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with gadgets on Windows Live Spaces http://discoverspaces.live.com?source=hmtag1&loc=us

Hi everybody, I'm having a problem with winbind creating 2 entries for some of my users that really wrecking my head ;-/ . My situation is as follows : I have a typical Samba (3.0.14a)/LDAP setup. I have a trusted domain (another Samba/LDAP setup) and use winbind to map the users from the foreign domain, with the UID to SID mappings stored in LDAP . This works very well. The relevant part

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

Hi, I've got a SuSE 9.0 running Samba 3.0.1 and Netatalk 1.6.3 Samba is a member server of a win2k domain, I'm using winbind to authnticate my users. Well, with the Windows users, everything is ok. But not with the Mac users I'd like to setup Netatalk to authenticate my Macs against the win2k domain as with Windows. Is this possible? I've sarched the web all around and

Can samba be used with security = server to authenticate a user in a domain other than what the samba server is in? i.e. The samba server is set to workgroup NA and I have a user called EU\joe that is trying to access a share but it seems it is checking the password against NA\joe. I have a username map of joe EU\joe

Hello I have samba 3.0.13 running in ADS mode. For some specific reason I want to disable winbindd authentication while I want winbindd keep running. If I understood right - option "auth methods" would help to do that. But I am not sure if this will not break existing services : auth methods = guest sam All users that authenticate are created locally in /etc/passwd file. Can anybody

Hi, How user can modify the owner of file if he?s not an Admin. thanks

I found that after moving my samba server to different hardware (and diferent Linux installation), domain logons cannot find their Windows profiles and created new ones. This is caused by the different RID of the users. It seems these are calculated as 2*UID + 1000. And my UID's on new server do not match those on the old one. How to force SAMBA to provide different RIDs for the users? I do
