Strange Samba permissions
I have a problem with some Samba permissions. Here is the share.
[bhs]
path = /school/bhs
read only = no
valid users = @teacher @admin @bhs
create mask = 660
force create mode = 2660
directory mask = 770
force directory mode = 3770
T: is mapped to a DFS share with permissions 3777, then the 'bhs' share
is a link in the DFS share.

passwords expiring
My passwords have expired again in my LDAP/Samba setup. I have been
reading in the Samba How-To and just want to make sure this is what I
need to do before I try it.
If I want to have my passwords expire in the year 2015, do I need to do
the following to all of my users?
pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time="2015-01-01" --time-format="%Y-%m-%d"

User list
I have a samba server setup with LDAP. Before I was using LDAP, I could
get a list of users and groups with my perl script by using the getgrent
and getpwent routines. I cannot use this anymore, because for some
reason, these routines do not see all of my users. They only see up to
a certain point. If I do a 'getent passwd' from the command line, it
only shows up to certain number of

Samba permissions
I am working on my permissions and something does not quite make sense
to me. Here is what I have set.
/DIR (Unix permissions are 3777)
Then in samba I have the following
[dir]
path = /DIR
read only = no
valid users @teach @student
create mask 3660
directory mask 3770
Then from a windows workstation, I create a new directory inside 'dir',
and call it 'teach'.

Strange permissions problems
I had this problem some last year and never got it figured out. Now it
is bugging me. It seems that sometimes when a student writes his/her
file to a directory, it will not keep the correct group. It puts
his/her main group as the group owner and that fouls things up. Here is
what I have.
Unix Permissions
/school 3777 admin.teacher
/school/bhs 3777 admin.teacher

samba-ldap
Well, I am still having problems with my samba server. For some reason,
I cannot add all of the users in. I am running a batch useradd program.
I can get about 450 or so added in, then it gives me an error that the
user does not exist when I go to add the last 60 or so.
My batch program actually reads in the users name and then does
something like:
/opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -a -u

Dovecot and Squirrelmail problem
I get the following error when I check my mail a lot. I can keep
refreshing until all errors are gone, then I am alright. This started
happening when I turned on the serverside sorting in squirrelmail. How
do I check to see which mails are causing this problem?

A samba BDC
I have finally managed to sneak my way through setting up a Samba-3 and
LDAP server. Everythng seems to be working fine. Don't really know
much about LDAP, but I needed it and am learning to use it.
Here is my question: I have two buildings (BLD1 and BLD2). The server
in BLD1 is my server that is up now. I want to put a server in BLD2
that will use the users from BLD1, but will be

One more samba
Ok, I seem to have everything back to normal, except for one thing that
seems strange to me. I have 3 samba servers going for my domain, all
using the LDAP database for usernames. I have my logon script that maps
drives according to the groups that the users are in. I put the
logonscript on each of the servers. I was assuming that whichever
server accepted the logon, that would be the

Passwords expiring
I have a Samba 3 server setup using LDAP for the backend. I keep
getting a message that the passwords will expire. This happened about a
month ago and I did not worry about it, because my XP machines kept
telling me this last year, but they never expired. I figured it was
something to do with XP and not my Samba server. This year though, with
my new server, they did expire and I had to

smbldap-useradd
I have my new servers up and going with Samba and LDAP on them. Now I
have to add my users. Here is my problem. I have written a perl script
that reads a file and adds users to different groups depending on what
grade they are in and it also generates a random password, that it
exports to a master list. The old script would add the user to unix and
then to samba, along with the password

samba permissions
There was another tech coordinator that asked the following on our list:
> Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to give students
read/write permissions to a certain drive letter without giving them the
ability to delete other (or thier own) files. Currently I have chmod
1770 permissions (read write, but only owner can delete) and one owner

DFS question
Was wondering if someone could tell me if this is correct. I want to
set up some DFS shares. I have 3 servers with SAMBA/LDAP on them. My
first is basically my PDC and the other two are my BDCs. I assume that
I will have to set all of this up on each server, so that no matter
which server catches the logon, the logon script will get run. Also, if
one of the servers was to go down for a

logon problems
I am really not sure if this is a samba problem or what, but is starting
to annoy me. Here is what is happening.
Server 1: Squid,squidguard,dansguardian,iptables (This is firewall/filter)
Server2: Samba (used for file storage and squid authentification)
Clients are Windows 98. A few XP's.
Everything has run fine for almost 2 years. The other day when trying

Samba bdc
I have two serves set up. One will be my PDC (master) and the other
will be my BDC (slave). I have openldap setup and replicating the data
between the two servers.
Everything seems to work fine from the Master, but I have one problem
with the slave. From the slave, I can do an ldapsearch and everthing is
fine. But when I do a 'pdbedit -L', I get the following:

Replacing a Samba server
I am setting up a new samba server that is going to replace my old one.
Here is the question that I have. Am I going to have to go around to each
computer on campus and have it rejoin the domain when I put the new server
in place?
If that is the case, can I set the SID on the new samba server to be the
same as the old samba server and will that do the trick so that I do have

Computers leaving samba domain
I am not sure if this is where I need to ask this or not, but I am lost to
where to start even.
I had 7 computers in one lab that would not login. It gave the standard
"computer account password bad or domain not found". I had another 9
computer in my other lab do the same thing. It seems that they have
suddenly started losing the domain. I can add them to a workgroup and

samba server version removal
Is there some way to remove that label from showing up on the shares on
the windows client? I tell my teachers to look for the F: drive or
whichever drive, but for some reason MS in their infinite wisdom puts the
drive letter at the end of the share so it does not show up unless the
windows is expanded so that it can be seen. (and even though I have told
them how to see the letter, most cannot

I have fought with these before. I finally got them down the way that I
wanted them, but I was wanting to set this up a bit different. I want to
make sure that there is no way to do this without actually having to
assign a bunch of different drive letters to shares.
I basically one one Drive letter assigned to the top of the directory.

Samba and LDAP install on FreeBSD
Here is my problem. I installed the OpenLdap 2.4.10 server and SASL
client. I then went to install the Samba 3.0.30 Port and it tells me that
it needs to install OpenLDAP client 2.3.42, but the 2.4.10 is in the same
place and I need to deinstall it. I deinstall 2.4.10 and samba will
install, but now openldap will not run because it has missing files. I
went to reinstall the 2.4.10 SASL client,
