Hi everybody! I'm a samba rookie, and I'm trying to make my own roaming profiles. The situation is simple, a single debian samba server and a single windows xp client, with the signorseal value set to 0. I have my unix users with their home directories in /home/username, and I'd like them to have a windows login. Right now I don't care about mixing unix and windows

Hi. I've built an afs cell, a kerberos kdc, an openldap server, all kerberized. Now all linux clients can login on the cell using k5 authentication, finding informations about their home dirs with ldap. Their home reside on the afs cell, which allows r/w access since it releases a token from the k5 ticket. All macosx clients can login as well... but what about windows? ^___^;;;

Hi. A question on a feature that interests me... Can I specify samba to handle the dot files in our linux samba server as hidden files in windows? It's quite ugly seeing all the hidden unix files .* visible on windows... -- Sensei <mailto:senseiwa@tin.it> <pgp:8998A2DB> <icqnum:241572242> <yahoo!:sensei_sen>

Hi. I'm new to samba, so I don't know many things. I have a big infrastructure based on kerberos, ldap and afs. All our linux clients log nicely on the cell, no problem. The problem is as everywhere... windows. I'm trying to make windows log on the cell, using samba (I will try tomorrow to set up a domain). The questions about samba will come later on, so expect me to bother you :)

Hi. I'm trying to find a solution for our windows clients. I will explain my situation. We have kerberos 5 (mit) kdc, openafs without kaserver (authentication using kerberos), openldap, everything on debian stable servers. What do our unix/linux clients do? They authenticate over kerberos (pam), gain tickets and consequently gain the afs token (krb5afs or openafs_session), call ldap and

Hi. In few weeks I'm planning to set up a windows network over our departmental net. I need some advices, suggestions about what you would do. We're in front of a large network. I'm expecting having 50+ + computers logging in the windows domain, many different users. Servers will be just unix (linux mainly, and aix/bsd for experiments only) The underlying structure is really

Dear all, I am trying to move a project from Linux to OSX, with bad results at my first attempt. First, I am using LLVM 3.2, the latest version, compiled from sources (configured with just the install prefix, vanilla for other options). By the way, I found it annoying to reinstall LLVM, I expected a complete and working LLVM environment with Apple's move to CLANG, but maybe I didn't

Problem number one: ------------------- I'm running a few-hours-old CVS version of Samba 3.0 with LDAP as the authentication backend, and I'm having some problems trying to set up the LDAP accounts using "smbpasswd". I build the structure of the LDAP database by importing a couple of LDIF's, and then I import the following user account to create an administrative account

Hi. As I said... I will bother you. :) I'm wondering if it's possible to make samba as a primary domain controller without having samba passwords, but instead using my two KDCs (MIT K5). Is it possible? What should I use in my smb.conf? The wonderful and less painful thing is samba authenticating via pam... but I don't know how... the documentation is quite misty. -- Sensei

After reading through the documentation, I realized that as a part of the migration process from Samba-2.2.X to Samba-3.0.0 I needed to convert everyone in my smbadmin group (previously domain admin group = @smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group w/rid=512. So, I issued the following command: [root@localhost profile]# net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins"

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

Hi, The group that is mapped to rid=512 cannot be used in "valid users", the users cannot map the share (error 5). Is this normal? Should I file a bug? Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu server role = classic primary domain controller smb.conf: valid users = +smbadmin command: net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=smbadmin rid=512 type=d As soon as I remove the group

I have experienced a couple of (minor) problems with Samba Thought I would report these and ask if they are known problems. 1. Problem with "!" in username map file 2. Samba tools e.g. smbstatus, testparm not accounting for "config file" parameter 1. There appears to be a problem with a minor part of username map file interpretation. When I put an exclamation mark

Dear all, I've found a bug report for R when installing it on an AIX5.1 system. There's a followup (number 4) that comments a segmentation fault on R when quitting "q()". I'm using a newer version of R but on the same operating system and I obtain the same error. There was a way to solve this problem? Best regards and thanks, --

when trying to put a samba3 server into a domain (samba3 pdc) I always get the following error messages: [root@file samba]# net join -d 2 -U smbadmin RHEL -S server1.example.com [2004/09/30 23:36:35, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(79) added interface ip=192.168.0.150 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 smbadmin's password: [2004/09/30 23:36:37, 1] libads/ldap.c:ads_connect(251)

Hi! I'm experiencing strange performance problems after upgrading to samba 3.2.8 from 3.0.30. For all users except smbadmin (who has administrative rights), read performance is _very_ bad. Looking at the read-requests using filemon and wireshark, I found out that for those users, every read is handled transparently (unbuffered) over the net. (I.e. a 2 byte read-request of the application

Sorry if this is a dup. I sent right before I subscribed to the list, so I'm not sure if it made it. I have just taken over a redhat system with Samba 3.0.0 configured with security = user, and domain logins enabled. I've included the smb.conf at the end of this message. I would like to upgrade to 3.0.10 for a numbers of reasons, one being security and one being that password changes

OK, I had this working a few days ago, but have evidently changed something that I cannot locate. Someone hit me with their 2x4. Samba 3.0.22, Fedora Core 4, ldapsam (OpenLDAP 2.3.24). smbd will not start, with the "ERROR: failed to setup guest info" error (I have "guest account = guest", which is a valid user with correct info in LDAP): ldap_connect_system: Binding to ldap

Hello have configured samba to authenticate with an LDAP backend everything works fine including testing the configuration files until I start the net sam provision.

Hello all, I've noticed that removing a user from a group in /etc/group does not immediately prevent the user from accessing files / directories which the group still has access to. For example, say user 'cwseyst2' only has access to access to 'plc' if it is in group 'plc-staff'. # getfacl plc # file: plc # owner: smbadmin # group: smbadmin user::rwx group::rwx
