Howdy All, My samba server has decided to throw a hissy fit and its quite distressing ( not hair tearing out yet but will be soon ). Samba Version 3.02 To give domain users admin rights to their local machine I have in the past simply made domain users part of the local admin group. Perhaps not the most elegant solution , but it works. I today installed two more machines ( XP sp2 )onto the

Howdy All, I need to change the machine names on about 10 machines ( winxp ) on a samba 3.05/redhat9 network ( NO LDAP ) Am I correct in the order I have listed below to accomplish this 1. remove the machines from the domain ( change to a workgroup ) 2. remove the machines from the smbpasswd file ( I can use webmin for this ) 3. stop samba 4. remove the machines from /etc/passwd 5. add new

Howdy People, I have a small problem with my redhat9-samba3.05 setup. I have various shares which have access to them by valid user = @unixgroup Some of the users in any particular group can get access whilst others cant. The curious thing is that this setup worked happily for some months and then, suddenly, it doesn't. I am now forced to list the users indivdually . I am open to ideas .

Howdy All, I have a problem with a machine which I am trying to connect to an existing samba domain 1. The machine WAS connected to the domain as hrennie$ 2. Removed hrennie$ ( using smbpasswd -x hrennie$ ) from the system. 3. Changed the name of the machine to hrenniedt$ ( found that having a user with the same name as the machine is not a good look ) . 4. Tried to reconnect the hrenniedt$ to

Howdy All, I have read with interest the problems that some people have with profiles and XP ( service pack 2 included ) in getting them to work. I, however, have not had any such trauma's ( thank goodness) and the smb.conf file listed below works a treat. The problem I have is people using profiles over several vpn connections ( just to slow ). So now I am in the situation of wanting to turn

Howdy People, I have a problem with roaming profiles in samba 3.0.5 on redhat9 ( installed from the rpm with rpm -Uv samba.3.0.5.rpm I am not using LDAP ( dont know how and as I am a Netware person on a very steep learning curve with Samba, didn't want to complicate the installation after seeing every second posting on this list as a ldap problem). The smb.conf file is listed below. The

Howdy All, I am the adminstrator in a school which has netware 4.11 ( five servers in the nds tree )as its main student platform. This has been working very well over the past 6 years or so. The school has the ability to obtain a microsoft solution at no cost ( except for the new hardware required, which is the reason for this email in the first place ).

Hi, I have a system running FC2 with SAMBA-3.0.10-1.fc2 installed on it. I tried de-installing it, but it failed as follows: [root@cobra /]# rpm -e samba error: Failed dependencies: samba is needed by (installed) system-config-samba-1.2.22-0.fc2.1 samba = 0:3.0.10 is needed by (installed) samba-swat-3.0.10-1.fc2 Can anyone suggest how I could go about de-installing the kit?

Additional Info... I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what I am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course, it also mentions the name of the PDC. If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done. However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC. With a Samba BDC, should I leave the

In my continued attempt to get winbindd working on a simple domain, I decided to go through the documentation in more detail, searching for some possibly hidden clues.

Hello all, I am new to this list and to samba. I used samba in a previous life, but someone else installed and maintained it. I am have a small issue that I do not know if it is resolvable. Here it is: I have installed samba on the server named "kirk", our master domain controller for nt is named "picard". They are on the same subnet. My clients are on a different

Can anyone point me to a doc or a script that shows how to generate netlogon script on the fly and supports users having multiple groups? I tried the Perl script referenced at <http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/AdvancedNetworkManagement.html> but I believe it only supports the user being a member of one group. -- Andrew Gaffney

I am trying to find a good how-to on setting up samba to use Windows 2003 for authentication, if anyone knows of a good link let me know. I am using RedHat ES 3 and our Windows is running in native mode with NT style authentication allowed. I cant use ADS and Kerberos because the current version of Kerberos on my RH server is 1.2.7 and from what I have read I need 1.3+ in order for it to work

Hi, everyone, Just wondering if someone had come up with a good way to do fuzzy searches if you use MySQL as your database (we tried switching to PostgreSQL, but that ended up adding even more problems). Ferret sounds great, but reading through the discussion it looks like we need to solve the problem of write conflicts. I just wrote a post in ruby-talk about using KirbyBase maybe to solve
