Guys, I have a pc (already joinned the samba domain 'DOMAIN') that I want to keep off other domain users but user DOMAIN\mark and DOMAIN\thomas whilst letting both of them to logon freely to other computers. I tried sambaUsersWorkstations but it only works with uid (Users not Computers) and it dictated which computer such a user may logon to. What I want is the opposite: which users may

Hi list! I need your expertise. How do I do to rid of the banner "SAMBA 3.0.14a on debian on sarge (pdcsrv)" I can see that when I use the M$ server tools and I've tried to rewrite the string but when I click "ok" the string still the same, what I mean is that no matter what I write there it doesn't change. I use JXplorer to navigate throw my ldap

Thank's for you Guys, Wolfgang and Ian, I think I will try to read about Winbind and implement it in my PDC. But, what do you think about my theory. Is it right ? "Users cannot access resources in the network if they don't join to Domain. And, only administrator with root user+password can make users joined to Domain" Thanks SA

Dear Group, I'm using samba 3.x as a PDC, and I'm using linux system quota v2 for samba. Here is my problem: if a user copies a big file to the desktop (bigger than the quota set for that user), when he logs off, the profile wont syncronize with the server with the message "disk full". Is there a way to let the WinXp client to understand how much space is available also for

Hi all, I have been noticing for a certain time that the Win 2K with Service Pack 4 wasnt able to save its profile to a Samba PDC. Is this a known fact or I have a problem ? I am using 3.0.11 on Fedora Core 3. regards -- You cannot prevent the birds of sorrow from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from building nests in your hair.

When I try to establish a trust from SAMBA 3.0.11 to Windows 2003 I get the error: NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE. I have no problem the other way. I had no problem either, when I ran SAMBA 3.0.9, and the problem disappeared when I down-graded to 3.0.9. Here is what happens ('CALYPSO' is the Windows-server and 'KONTOR' is its domain-name): [root@linux /root]# net rpc trustdom

Dear Folks, This is a note for all those people out there who had to turn off their firewalls (iptables) to get Samba to work. First start the GUI interface to the firewall by typing [somedir]# redhat-config-securitylevel Click on "Customize". Click the check box for your network adapter (usually "eth0"). Click on the checkboxes for any services you want to allow (I

I found this from http://charon.minilab.bdeb.qc.ca/anonym/nt/2000/ads/TTGW2KGP_Vol1through4.pdf I would like to figure out how to do this gpedit.msc+AD+gpc+gpt magic for win2k/xp with linux+samba(2.2/3.0/tng)+openldap and is it possible at all? Thanks. Although GPOs provide significantly more policy features than NT 4.0 System Policy provides, GPOs are stored and processed differently than NT

Hi, im using net rpc vampire to migrate users/ groups from nt4 to samba3 with ldap backend. But the umlauts (????) in the displayname are malformend. Unix charset in smb.conf is set to ISO8859-1. Any hint how to correct this? Regards S.Drees

I have a Samba PDC with LDAP as its back end. It works perfectly except for one major detail: Non-root users cannot join the Samba PDC. I change the domain on Windows XP clients like this: 1. Log in as administrator on an Windows XP client 2. Change domain with Control Panel -> System -> Computer name -> "Change..." and in the Domain field, I enter the name of the Samba Domain

Hello friends, I am running Samba 3.0 on RHEL4 server. Around 200 roaming profiles are also configured and they login to XP machines. Things are working for us except in network rollout scenarios. We dont know how to roll out patches or some global changes to all the profiles. We have to visit each and every profile (loggin each of them) to do even the small changes. Today we have to map a

Hi, all! There is a share on PDC (Samba 3.0.23): [Soft] comment = Software path = /st2/soft valid users = "@Domain Users" read only = No share modes = No I do: # cd /st2/soft # touch testfile # chown testuser:"Domain Users" testfile # chmod a+rwx testfile After logon on windows workstation (domain member) as testuser, I going to

I run the computers in a small shop and want to change my users from using the local accounts on their windows boxes to a central account managed through ldap (openldap). I now have samba working with ldap and using ldap for authenticating shares as windows users ask for those shares to be mounted to their workstations. What I want is for the initial ctl-alt-del login to authenticate through samba

Hi, I have server setup as BDC on a subnet different from the PDC. The BDC can auth fine against the PDC and they can browse each other just fine. The problem is on Unix side of the BDC. When I do a 'wbinfo -g' or 'getent group' each group fit the format 'DOMAIN\group_name' and the PDC does not. This is causing problems when synchronizing as the group perm is being set

I created a BDC for my network, running a slave LDAP server. Do I need specify the same workgroup as the PDC in the smb.conf? I was thinking I'd put it on a different workgroup just for organizational purposes. -- *Jason Baker */IT Coordinator/ *Glastender Inc.* 5400 North Michigan Road Saginaw, Michigan 48604 USA 800.748.0423 Phone: 989.752.4275 ext. 228 Fax: 989.752.4444

Dear, I have a Linux Samba server and a Windows XP SP2 client joined to the "g-company.net" domain. I want to access a Linux share resource in /var/share without password from WXP desktop FROM ANY USER. This is my scenario: - I don't create any Linux local user because I want total access from any user - I use security = share - My smbusers file is: root = administrator admin

We have this working. however Some developers edit files using "windows editors" and when they then copy them to the Windows Drive Letter which is mapped to a Unix machine, the resultant file is full of ^M characters..... build breaks..... and so on Until now we have been telling users to run "dos2unix" beforehand, but somebody told me that "Samba" can

Hi everyone; I have searched the internet up & down for an answer to this problem. I'm stumped. Here's what I've got: Samba 3.0.22 configured as a PDC using tdbsam as the passdb backend (switching to LDAP when I get everything working). testparm says everything is fine. I've added the root user and a normal user to the database (using smbpasswd). I even went so
