similar to: Win2K cannot retrieve print driver, XP is okay

Hello all, I have been using the latest edition of "Using Samba" to set up a Samba server in our local school. Everything has been working great thus far. I've been asked to get printers going, so I thought I would share the printers using Samba, and have the clients 'connect' to the printers and get the drivers from the server. This works fine if I install, say, a

Dear Samba people, I am going to upgrade a Samba domain member server, which is a member of an AD domain. Its Windows user-ids and group-ids are stored on 2 Open-LDAP servers. I have look in the mailinglists and in the docs, but have not found any good examples of how to change the old syntax into the new(in 3.0.25). Is there a place where I can find some examples ? Our old idmap config lines

Gerry, all: HELP! On mandriva, I compiled samba from source and got it running, but I cannot connect from windows. (see my post from earlier "[Samba] Compiling and Configuring Samba for Mandrival") I think this relates to the group/SID changes discussed in the release notes. However, I'm not smart enough to figure it out. The tarball compiled and installed fine. It

I had to remove reference to some printer drivers via tdbtool on ntdrivers.tdb. 1. Do I need to restart smbd and nmbd to make these changes take effect? 2. If I restart smbd and nmbd will connected users get disconnected?

I have created a mapusers.bash script (listed below) for mapping Active Directory handles to unix logins. This script is currently working as documented. I would like some insight into how and when this script gets called. I assumed that upon establishing each samba connection, after the active directory handle gets authenticated with the domain controller it passes the domain\handle to this

Hi. I am running 3.0.20. 1. I would like to have an include statement pointing to user configurations. For a user, say 'mike', the following works: include = /home/mike/smb.conf But this does not: include = /home/%u/smb.conf I am using a very simple config with 'security = user'. What am I doing wrong? I cannot get any log feedback from this ('testparm' says

Ok do not know what is causing this problem and would appreciate some help in tracking down the cause. FreeBSD 4.7 System runs fine for maybe a week and then all networking stops - without warning. I do not know anyway of persuading it to resume networking without rebooting. Does anyone have some useful suggestions on how to diagnose the cause? David

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks, We are discussing removing the capability to chaining passdb backends. It's a decent idea but overly complicates things IMO and unless it has wide spread use, we'll probably axe it soon (voting is starting up on the samba-tecnnical ml now). To give you an example of what I mean, is anyone using something like: passdb backend =

I am Running a printserver using SLES9 SP3 with Samba 3.0.20b and cups 1.1.20 Since the update to Samba 3.0.20 every start of a client program tells me WARNING: The "printer admin" option is deprecated Ok, I understood I should use net rpc rights grant "<User or Group>" SePrintOperatorPrivilege -U .. But I haven't any adminuser to grant this rights. In my

I'm not sure if this is a samba problem or just a problem with the app. I'm unable to an application from a shared drive "\\ucd01\protel\". I've mapped the network drive "k:\protel\"and the apps ini file points to it but gives me an error message suggesting it can't see the drive. XP can however and I can browse it in explorer. A strange thing is that when I

Hello! I'm running samba 3.0.20 on Solaris as PDC. But I cannot add Windows Server 2003 clients to the domain. After authenticating as root, I get the following error message: "The parameter is incorrect." in Windows. The result is that the computer isn't added to the domain. :( Any ideas? Thanks. The samba log says: [2005/12/05 15:54:37, 2]

Hi there, I have a strange problem with my profiles. They aren't saved in /profiles/WinXP but in /profiles/%a instead.... I have a "sambaProfilePath: \\stperay\profiles\%a\dgenthia" in my ldap and it always ran with samba 3.0.20. I also have "logon path = \\stperay\profiles\%a\%U" in my smb.conf.... as in the old smb.conf. Is the %a feature broken ? Thanks ;-) Eric

Not for all users but for some. I'm using samba 3.0.20 running on Fedora Core 3. Security = ADS, winbind works and getent passwd returns local unix accounts plus the domain accounts as expected. It also returns a lot of entries like: 6811ff15281f4d19bdc:x:18004:10000:Anel Susana Esquivel:/export/private/6811ff15281f4d19bdc:"/sbin/nologin" I suspect these are accounts in a

Hi All, Yesterday, I've upgraded my Samba server from 3.021c to 3.023 through yum upgrade samba*. I'm running Fedora Core 4 Kernel 2.6.17-1.2142 on this server. After upgrade has been completed, I lost the attributes of ownership and groups. I noticed that the uids/gids have changed for all AD accounts. This means that users can't have total access for their files and no access

Hi people, I'm trying to join a linux SuSE 10.0+samba 3.0.20 box to an ADS-Win2003 domain. As I configured /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/samba/smb.conf, I try to join the ADS with: root # net ads join <domainname> -U Administrator%<Admin's passwd> the system replays: Using short domain name -- <DOMAIN NETBIOS NAME> then freezes, i.e. no prompt

Dear Samba team, I have installed the above release of samba and I am seeing the same problem as decribed in this old posting when I try to add permissions to printers: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-July/123177.html Interesting that this was last seen in 3.0.23. 3.0.24 behaves as expected. Thanks Alex

Hi there, I just saw samba added the "net rpc service" for Win32 service management since 3.0.20, and it's fantastic. I used to use samba-tng to do this job, but now I can use samba! However, I also found it has limited usage. I cannot pass parameters when I start a service, and I cannot create a new service, too. Is there any plan for samba to extend this feature? -- Best

I have aix with 3.0.21c samba with the following smb.conf: [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN realm = MYDOMAIN.COM server string = User management Server security = ADS password server = ad.mydomain.com idmap backend = rid:MYDOMAIN=100000-200000 allow trusted domains = No log level = 0 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
