similar to: degraded performance under domain login load

Does anyone know how to stress test samba without getting a whole room of people to login to all the computers at once ? perhaps some kind person has coded up a nice app that can be run on the server ?? just curious..

Hi guys, I am at a loss with this feature of samba in that it is soo hit or miss if the client drivers will upload or not depending on samba version used. Can someone confirm that this feature does indeed work in the latest samba release? i have tried many setups be it ldap or tdbsam, made sure all more groupmappings are correct, folders and permissions are correct, etc, Yet when i go

I have done all I can think of to make Samba be a PDC, but I can't get my Windows XP-SP2 client to join the domain. I've already edited the Group Policy for the roaming profile thingumyjig. I am asked for the user/pass (I use root) to add the machine to the domain, and the error is: "The user name could not be found". Here's my smb.conf, and group information.

I've been experimenting with Samba a bit. I won't claim to know a whole lot about it, because I don't, and I'm even somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Linux/UNIX. But I've been working with the worked examples that the HOW TO docs describe on the website, configuring my smb.conf file as is stated. I'm running Samba 3.0.14a-2 on Fedora Core 4, and I'm running into a

I am trying to configure Samba 2.2x with Win2K. I need that samba shares a directory in the Linux server and the users Windows access that without authentication. I created the UNIX users (etc/passwd). dic00037$:*:504:65533:DIC00037:/dev/null:/bin/false dic00024$:*:505:65533:DIC00024:/dev/null:/bin/false dic00021$:*:506:65533:DIC00021:/dev/null:/bin/false I creates the Samba users.

When I check my smb.conf file using the testparm -s command I get these messages Unknown parameter encountered: "passdb backend"

Hello, I've got performance problems with copying small files over to a Samba share in a directory that has lots of small files (10000 to 20000 files). It takes too long time to copy new files (they drip in at a fast pace), and smbd eats a lot of CPU time. Is there any way to make Samba run faster in this situation?

Hi all, About a year ago, Torsten already asked for OCSP stapling (http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-April/100632.html). Unfortunately, there was no answer to his question. Now RFC 7633 ("TLS Feature Extension", https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7633, a.k.a. "Must Staple") has landed, revocation is getting serious! I personally would like to embed all my TLS

I have a bunch of W2K clients on my network and I want to be able to use GPOs, but REFUSE to go the M$ route ;-) Since GPOs are essentially registry entries, it might be somewhat easy to implement a simple program that could give admins that fine-grain control that is missing from NT4-style .pol files. What I would like to propose is a simple Win32 executable that could read from an

Hi all, I have two systems using Win98 and one using Win95. These three systems do not automatically execute their login scripts. I can map the network drives manually and tell them to reconnect at login, but I am wondering why they don't execute them. I can log in, browse to my netlogon share (if I make it browseable), and execute the script manually, and it works. Well, it mostly

Any body using kixtart with your samba server..? or anyone have any great scripting tools for logon scripts...

Hello, I have Samba 3 PDC and win2k sp4 client. I would like to install printer on a machine globally, for all users. To do this, I use: net use X: \\server\unattended /user:domain\unattended password rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /q /y /ga /in /n \\server\HP2000C First line is mounting share (Administrator is not logged to the domain), and the second line is to install printer.

Is it possible to use some kind of netlogon script to add a printer? net use \\server\printert ??

It would be nice to have some additional attributes in the samba.schema. I have several servers that all my users need to have mapped locations. It would be nice if I could add drive letters and paths in ldap, but there doesn't seem to be anything defined in the schema. This way when I run the script to create the user all of the standard mappings are created as well.

Has anyone looked into creating custom templates for Microsoft's System Policy editor ? I like the idea of managing workstations through the NTConfig.POL file, but the included templates are quite a bit outdated. Does anyone know if it would be worth-while to take the time and create an updated Template to add policies to manage newer features of Windows 2000/XP through the NTConfig.POL

running debian 3.1 "sarge" ppc and samba 3.08 I want to have my win98se computer users to have their shares automatically mapped. 1. I have read that I would use a netlogin directory and put scripts in there? 2. Does anyone know if samba has to be set up a special way ADS, wins, etc... to use the netlogin directory and it's scripts? "this server is the only smb server

Hi all, All clients are Win 7. How can I transmit rules defined in gpedit for users (for example forbid execution of regedit) to the Default User roaming profile? Is it done with a ntconfig.pol ? If yes, how can I make it ? Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Anyone think it''d be useful to make a WriteBoard type application that supported ruby, html, etc. and allowed programmers to collaborate on writing scripts or just code in general and track each others changes? Just a thought. - Jim
