Hi All, I'm trying to configure a Samba PDC, and for some reason I can not get any windows PC to join the domain, however they can see the shares. Strange thing is that under Webmin I can not see root as a smb user and when I try a smbpasswd -a root I can enter the password, but it still wont add a smb user. Samba version 3.5.4-0.70.el5_6.1 smb.conf below TIA Chris [global] ;Genreic

Dear samba admins, I have a samba/cups related problem. I am running SuSE 10.1 with cups 1.1.23 and samba 3.0.22. The problem is, that my windows printer status boxes don't reflect the samba printer queues. My test scenario: - I use "printing = SYSV" because I need to use "print command", too. - I installed a new printer named "test", called cupsaddsmb test. -

I've having trouble getting XP SP2's to join a domain. Whenever I try to join, at the point I'm asked for a user name and password with permission to join the domain, I enter root and root's password, then get the dreaded "Unknown user or bad password" error message. The clients are a mixed bunch with some 98's, 1 Win2K, a few XP SP1 (I know, I know!, but

hi, i've always been using mount -t smbfs and recently "upgraded" to mount.cifs because i have a very aggressive application which always killed the smb connection (getting timeouts, ...). my setup: * some passwordless public/guest shares * one admin share over a x-over link to be able to use the admin share i had to switch my server from "security = share" to

Hi All, Hopefully someone knows the answer to this? I have a RH 7.3 box running Samba 2.3a as a PDC for over 1 1/2 years now. Things are good for the most part, except some minor annoyances with the way windows (2k) is handling the roaming profiles. Maybe I need to alter the permissions for the users profile, any insight would be wonderful though. The profiles copied to the local box under

Hello, I just configured a computer on my local network to work as a PDC with Samba, although I'm not able to join the Domain from the windows computer I want to add.

We're running a network of Windows 2000 SP3 machines with Samba 2.2.7 as the PDC and roaming profile store. Certain users logging onto certain machines will see an error dialogue pop-up saying explorer.exe has generated errors and will exit. This keeps popping up and to only course of action is to ctrl-alt-del and logout. For most people, everything works fine. I've been able to

How do you enable local profile creation on machines connected to a samba PDC? I thought it would be automatic, but it doesn't seem to be. If there isn't a roving profile, windows complains it can't find your profile on the server, then instead of creating a local one, it throws up this message: "Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary

I have an [apps] share that was intended to be read-only (to keep viruses away) however some Windows programs require rw access to specific files. I don't want to open-up everything on the share to rw, only those specific files/directories that need 'w' access. Here's the dilemma: In order for users to be able to change a file, the file and directory it's in need to have rw
