similar to: help needed: connecting with similar windows-unix usernames?

I have a couple of Samba boxes, one of which is dedicated to WINS. The other I dole out anti-virus stuff to 3,500 odd PCs from. This second one will disappear from the WINS server from time to time which is a bit of a pain. I use nmblookup -R -U <wins_ip> <2nd_box_ip> to test for it. All clients are configured as "P" nodes so WINS is a bit essential. To bring it back I

Hi, Just noticed this problem, which I have not been able to find a solution at the normal locations: We use samba to mount Solaris file systems on PC with Microsoft Active Directory as the domain control. We have a few users who have been given usernames with mixed case WStudent in windows (God knows why the PC guys did this, but it is to late to change it) and now these users can not

Is there any way to get samba to work with usernames that look like email addresses? Perhaps a way to escape the "@" ? I ask because I'm setting up a samba server with LDAP backend whose sole purpose is to share [homes] directories for end-users from multiple companies using virtual desktops at a hosting provider. I need to have unique logins across these companies and would

Hello, scp(1) doesn't allow copying files to a remote host with a username containing utf-8 characters. It just returns "invalid user name". While traditionally usernames were restricted to printable us-ascii, nowadays there's little problem in allowing them. In fact, it is allowed by ssh, and even scp when copying _from_ such username. The limitation seems to lie on the if

Thanks Sir, just inquisitive, because in a similar PDC configured on NT, I can have groupnames similar to usernames. Also because this is done through a script from web I was getting problems... however now I know it shouldnt be done so I will have to validate that, but a similar validation or some error string displayed from the command itself would be usefull.. regards On Wednesday 25 May 2005

Hi, Can anyone help me with an annoying problem regarding capital letters in usernames. I have three users whose usernames begin with a capital, and I'd really like to fix this so that all usernames are lower case, for consistency and to avoid confusion if they use other services provided by the linux box. (I'm using tbdsam backend, with Samba 3.0.22 as PDC.) I've tried using

Hello all, I'm putting into production a samba server on rh6.1 with samba-2.0.5a-12 (installed via rpm). The goal is to have windows 9x and nt 4.0 (sp5 and sp6) access individual user directories on that server. The unix password file matches username values as stored on our NT domain. some of the globals: security = server password server = OURPDCNetBIOSNAME under share functions:

I have installed the sipTAPI from http://sourceforge.net/projects/siptapi/ when I use user names like joash.herbrink in Asterisk, it is not working when I change the sip username to my internal extension, like 1006, it works fine. Anybody any idea as to why this is? met vriendelijke groet, Joash Herbrink Technical Consultant "Control the flow" De Kahuna groep

Hi, Asking for recommendation. On the linux, users can be created.... aaa AAA aAa all are different users on linux... but on Windows this is not valid... now in case there is a case that there are two users called Chin and chin... will there be a problem with Samba PDC... if both are added to samba users... at present the only problem is I see is that users are unable to create there profiles

Hi I'm glad to see that pxelinux now has support for password authentication ;) Is it possible to extend that feature to use a username/password combination? Something like the menu.c32 loading a file that has uid/pw mappings and using them.. People (well, admins) tend to keep quiet about their own passwords better than a common password, so the feature would help here ;) (having a

Hi I was wondering if anyone came across an issue with Vista with SP1 and usernames that have @ in their usernames (example username@domain.com). The login to samba network stopped working once i have installed SP1. The message I get is: The local Session Manager service failed to logon The data area passed to a system call is too small >From the server side i don't really seen any

Hi, we are using usernames on our systems that contain a point '.', like "r.john". We found it necessary to patch the source to make the "scp" command work with those usernames.

Hello, Some hosting companies insist on having usernames of the form user#account(@example.com). The ssh client is quite happy with such usernames, but scp fails with 'invalid user name'. Looking at the source code, scp rejects ' " ` # and ' ', whereas ssh apparently enforces no such restriction. My question is twofold: Firstly, why do ssh and scp behave differently?

[ using FreeBSD 8.2, but I don't think the problem is specific to their port ] For fail2ban purposes I'd like to log failed SSH authentication attempts of correct (i.e., existing) usernames.
