hi list, we recently saw the following weird behaviour on samba v3.0.13 with MacOSX panther and tiger as clients --setup-- [share1] path = /data valid users = @admins force user = administrator inherit permissions = yes force create mode = 770 force directory mode = 2770 [share2] path = /data/folder valid users = @noadmins force user = administrator inherit permissions = yes force create mode

hi list, i'm using samba v3.0.14a when working with "admin users =" "inherit owner" does not work for me anymore the owner is set to "root" any ideas? will "inherit owner" solve this problem? thx in advance -- Michael Gasch Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Department of Human Evolution Deutscher Platz 6 D-04103 Leipzig Germany

hi, weird thing: i thought when commenting out "delete user script" and "ldap delete dn" nobody is able to delete users from the domain. what happens: users are deleted, to be more specific their samba attributes are deleted but not their posix values. i won't let our admins delete users from our domain becaus we have another management to add/delete users to/from a

hi folks, i hope you can help me!!! i'm using samba v3.0.14a (sernet) on debian sarge. openldap v2 is my backend, smbldap-tools 0.8.4 (patched for our organization). when adding a user via usrmgr.exe to an existing domain group i get the following error: [in usrgmr] The following error occured changing the properies of the user xxx User does not belong to this group [in smbd.logs]

hi list, just for my knowledge -> we have a working PDC / BDC infrastructure for our domain DOMA, where PDC trusts another PDC from DOMB (all samba v3). when PDC from DOMA goes down, is the trust still valid or do we have to setup the trust on *both* DCs from DOMA (net rpc trustdom establish DOMB ... )? is that possible at all? thx&greez -- Michael Gasch Max Planck Institute for

hi, i read about samba4wins, which is really a great work from the team! do you know, if this will work with samba v3.0.14a? i ask because a german news service writes that it?s only possible with 3.0.21 (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/69132), but i can?t find this information in the notes on http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4WINS/samba4wins-1.0.0-16/ thx for helping me! -- Michael

hi, i was able to successfully run vfs_shadow on a samba share with win xp shadow copy client. but i think it?s currently not implemented that one could export [homes] with this vfs object, because AFAIK each @GMT-snap has to resist directly under the samba share. but [homes] is a virtual share representing different shares (depending on users). has anybody hints about using vfs_shadow with

hi, i have a question about winbind, idmap_rid and trusted domains. at sambaxp jerry said it's possible to have idmap_rid working with trusted domains. this is what we would like to have here. smbd -b doesn't show this compile option on 3.0.14a rpm (SuSE). may be this is normal, but how do i ensure that this option is in my binary w/ testing too much :) or how can i compile it

hi list, is it possible with samba v3 and ldap backend to embedd a normal group like "normalgroup" in the group "Domain Administrators" to give members of the group "normalgroup" full administrative rights on workstations? i tried with "net groupmap addmem sid-of-normalgroup sid-of-domain-admins" and "net groupmap addmem sid-of-domain-admins

(sorry for my English, it's not soooo good...) I'm playing fair well with Samba, but I've always installed it via apt-get, and now I want to install it from source, which allows me to create optimized and updated binaries. Plus, I want to optimize my smb.conf for my scenario. As a result, I've got several questions about some ./configure and smb.conf options that I don't

Hi folks, it's not really an issue for me but could you please comment this behaviour i described? may be i can then open a bug report. thx! -- Michael Gasch Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Department of Human Evolution (IT) Deutscher Platz 6 D-04103 Leipzig Germany Phone: 49 (0)341 - 3550 137

I'm tuning a samba 4.3 install on freebsd and I'm confused about aio settings. I've loaded the freebsd aio kernel module and tried various values or aio read size and aio write size, but it seems to make no difference in the speed. Using MS diskspd against a samba share from a fast zfs pool I get something like 25MB/s tops. That's well below the capacity of my Gb network and

hi, it?s me again :( i?m still not able to use idmap_rid in a trusted domain environment (samba v3.0.20b Sernet). well, to be clear: NSS is not working (id, getent passwd <user>, ...) so samba does not find the posix information for any user from a foreign domain it?s working in a single domain with ##################################### # WINBIND - Settings idmap backend =

hi, i see the same error message with samba 3.0.14a and OpenLDAP 2.2.23 (Debian Packages) with Master/Slave setup. i did not set up a referral to the master, so why does samba get a referral when attempting to write to a slave? is this an in-build samba feature? do i have to enable referrals to get this to work properly? any advise is appreciated! thx! micha Zwonarz Ivo wrote: > We use

hi john, i just want to point out some lacks in the current online documentation and the documentation of smb.conf distributed with the binaries/tarballs: missing explanations: - acl check permissions - acl map full control - winbindd nss info - rename user script also the documentation says in "map to guest": "The three settings are :" although there're four settings

Looked through the smb.conf.5 from 3.0.20pre2 for additional info on the aio settings but didn't seem to find them. I'm setting this up on AIX 5.2 and just wondered what where recommended starting values...and non-zero values activate the AIO code paths? Cheers, Bill

hi list, we have some trouble with openldap (back-bdb) and samba. i think it's more a problem with openldap and bdb (http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200510/msg00185.html) but i want to know something about your experiences with openldap in large enterprises. what are your settings for slapd and bdb? or is there a better backend for slapd than bdb? which software versions are
