Hi, (sorry for my english I'm a telecomunications student from spain) I'm building a PDC with samba from a ldapbackend which was created without samba attributes...it's a very big database...does someone know how can I add the samba attributes to all users..? and what attributes I have to add so that the pdc have the next characteristics: - backend openldap(replica-server,it's

Hello, I'd like to see if I can get some clarification on what is the preferred method of starting the Samba daemons (note that we are using Solaris, not Linux). This is something that I'm not able to find any explanation of in any of the Samba 3 documentation that I've looked at so far. In Samba 2 I would have the Samba daemons started up by the following in my /etc/inetd.conf:

Hello. I'm trying to implement a single-sign-on system with MIT-Kerberos and OpenLDAP. These two are currently working pretty well, but now I'm trying to add samba to this system. I've found a lot of tutorials about samba PDC with LDAP backend, but this is of course not quite what I want. My passwords are stored in the kerberos database and userdata is stored in LDAP. Is there a way to

I was told recently that Kerberos authentication won't work against a non-windows KDC. Is that accurate? So for instance, it is not possible for Samba running on say RHEL, to authenticate against a Linux server running MIT Kerberos? Additionally, many people said that setting this up was well-documented. Any suggestions of particularly good docs / how-to's?' And lastly, is

I am trying, after login that samba will go directly to thei users home directory. But it doesn't happen. Please help. Here is my setup: logon home = \\%N\%U [homes] comment = %U's Home Directory valid users = %S read only = Yes browseable = no ## path = %H create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 guest ok = no printable = no

My apologies, I'm terribly sorry to belabor these PDC issues to the point where everyone is undoubtedly tired of hearing about them, but I have become absolutely obsessed with trying to solve this PDC problem. Here is what is happening now. I'm trying to connect to the Samba server which is set up as the PDC (domain PLAB) from windows client "venus". Windows prompts me to

The subject's a little misleading really, but I was looking for some clarification of my thoughts... In Windows, one can use both share permissions and NTFS permissions to control access to files. I would normally use share permissions to control a connection (allow/deny), and use NTFS to control access. I would never use share permissions to control access whilst NTFS was capable of

Dear List, We have just bought: * Dual AMD CPU, 8TB NAS, 4GB RAM (DNUK.COM) - SUSE 9.3 * Two Dell 2850, 3GB RAM, Dual Xeon 3.2GHz, 300GB Raid 5 - Fedora Core 4 Now obviously we want to use the Storage ;-) How would you guys recommend we proceed? Samba PDC on one 2850, LDAP Directory on second, and somehow mount the storage for the shares? Or run the PDC on the NAS, and keep the LDAP

Hi everybody. I attended the Samba conference at the FOSDEM yesterday. Jeremy Allison was great, and explained very clearly the problems faced by implementing an Active Directory controller. The CIFS protocol is required in heterogenous environments. Jeremy made it pretty clear that even in pure Unix environments, CIFS is quite superior to NFSv4. Samba is thus a required component of pretty

Hi. Only indirectly related to zfs. I need to test diskusage/performance on zfs shared via nfs. I have installed nevada b64a. Historically uid/gid for user www has been 16/16 but when I try to add uid/gid www via smc with the value 16 I''m not allowed to do so. I''m coming from a FreeBSD backgroup. Here I alter uid using vipw and edit /etc/group afterwards. -- regards Claus

I modified a users name on my system. From ABCLast, to ALast (used as an example). I modified the username, then the group name of the user (to align with the new name), and then I moved the users home directory from /home/ABCLast, to /home/ALast. Then using vipw, edited the home directory to use /home/ALast. When I got finished editing the passwd file, I got the following message: You have

Hello, could somebody to comment PR bin/51148? It is suggestion how to pass a value of cache size to pwd_mkdb when we are doing vipw or such. It can give a greate speed-up when master.passwd is really big (and sometimes it is). Appropriate cache size can make process 10 to 100 or more times faster. I gave the results of measurements in that problem report. Thanks in advance! SY, Alex

I am able to share out file systems to the XP clients from my Samba server OK. I am also able to modify the permissions for the files in the share in Solaris

Hello, For some reason, I thought little about the "clear" command today.. Let's say a privileged user (root) logs on, edit a sensitive file (e.g, a file containing a password, running vipw, etc) .. then runs clear and logout. Then anyone can press the scroll-lock command, scroll back up and read the sensitive information.. Isn't "clear" ment to clear the

Hello I've installed Fedora Core 3 (Test 3, kernel 2.6.8x), with Samba 3.0.8 and OpenLDAP 2.2.13 .

Hello people! I have set up samba guided by "The Unoffical Samba HOWTO, by David Lechnyr". But for the last 3 hours i have been banging my head into the wall. So i ask for youre help!
