Hi, I have to move our old samba file server to a new machine. The old samba server was a RedHat8 with samba 2.2.5. The new one is SLES9 with samba 3.0.2b-3.4 SuSE Is there a way to re-use the old smbpasswd file? In the log-files I can see that the authentication fails when I try to access a shared folder. A windows client keeps on asking the login and password. Is it possible to re-use

List, I'm having trouble accessing shares, and I'm getting conflicting indications on whether I've successfully joined the domain with my PC and Samba server (which may bear on the share problem). I really could use some help; I've not been able to recognize anything in the docs or via Google that helps. I'm running SUSE 9.3 and Samba 3.0.21a, and I'm trying to

Hello, Is it possible to store samba passwords in ldap without configuring samba as a PDC? All the documents/references I've come across are related to using LDAP as a samba PDC backend, not as just a db file replacement. Thanks, David Filion

Hi to all! I've been using samba for about six months: I've set up a file server, replacing a small windows 2000 server. I'm using samba 3.0.21c on a linux slackware 10.2.

With a single server, settings "security = server" and "password server = pdc1 pdc2', I can successfully authenticate against two entirely different PDCs depending on which order I put the two machines in the 'password server' list. Is there someway of forcing clients from either domain to authenticate against the 'right' pdc, regardless of the order in the

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work.

I've got a moderate network with several subnets, a number of domains and workgroups. I have a central WINS server, each domain has its own PDC. My problem is transient users. We have occasional users who plug a laptop into the network. Once they leave, they hang around in Network Neighborhood forever. Then I have users who curiously click on their icon in NN and their machine just

Now to keep the administrative work as low as possible I have this one master server. Via this server we/our customer

Hola folks, After a few years of slowly phasing in various Linux and BSD platforms, the company I work for is willing to take a hard look at replacing its existing Windows NT domain controllers with a Linux/Samba combination. We only have about sixty people in our main office, but most of my experience is with smaller deployments. I'm not looking for step-by-step instructions, that's
