Can anyone suggest any apps/scripts for bulk generating passwords from real names (e.g. jsmith from John Smith) that would check for duplicated in an existing smbpasswd or passwd file and append a number to the username (e.g. jsmith1, jsmith2).

Hi All, I'm trying to get samba to work with a CUPS printer setup. Unfortuantely I'm falling over at the first hurdle. I've installed samba 3.0.12 from sources and I've a redhat 9.0 box running CUPS 1.1.71. I've installed the following smb.conf file:- [global] load printers=yes printings=cups printcap name=cups passdb backend = tdsam [printers] comment = All Printers path

I use samba 3.0.9 as a pdc with ldapsam. In the ldap entries, for every user there is a logon script sambaLogonScript. I only use two different scripts for 1000 users and 100 computers. The scripts lehrer.bat and schueler.bat reside in the netlogon share and provide more shares with the net use command. >From the user's perspective, this often works well. sometimes, however, the script is

Hello, I have just performed a yum update on my Fedora 5 machine, which I think included a samba update, and I cannot connect from WinXP to the shares defined on Fedora. When I select the samba server from WIndowsXP, a dialog box prompts for the userid and password. When userid and password are entered the dialog box just redisplays and I am not logged on, no matter how many time I try. I

I have the following situation: Windows XP (SP2) clients connected to a Samba 3 PDC (3.0.7-2.FC2) on the domain "MNET". Also a separate Windows 2003 AD domain "SCH" (using Native Mode). I want to allow users in the AD domain "SCH" to logon to that domain from the XP clients by using their existing credentials and simply choosing the SCH domain in the XP logon

I have just installed Fedora Core 5 with the Samba server. However only the nmbd daemon is running. I thought both smbd and nmbd should be running. On trying to start smbd with: >/sbin/service smb start the result is "starting smbd [FAILED]" Stopping smbd of course has no effect, and starting or restarting nmbd works just fine. I'm stumped! I turned SELinux and the firewall off.

Hi, i try to set up a samba print server with cups, but when i use the cupsaddprinter command, all copy start & stop with no problem, and when the rppcclient command is launch to add the printer driver, it fails and show me this error: # cupsaddsmb -v -U root -a [...many lines...] result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME I try to find somthing on the net and other ML & i find this to

Greetings, I have tried a few days on an off to get samba to work, but need some help.

I have a server roark (fedora core 5 with samba 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1) with a home directory awilliam. I'm trying to mount it on my linux workstation (fedora core 5, samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1). On my workstation I do: mount -t cifs "//roark/awilliam" /mnt/roark-awilliam/ -o username=awilliam,password=xxxxxx and when I cd to /mnt/roark-awilliam, ls works, but if I cat a file I get the

I have a linux box, Samba 3.0.23a, that is joined to a W2K3 domain. I cannot connect to the "MP3s" share (all legal!) on this system - I can connect to home directories and printers. When I try to connect to MP3s as any user on the domain, I get an Access is denied message, or it prompts me for the username and password again. I am using Winbind (if that matters), so none of these

On a client running FC5 with all packages updated from yum (running samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 and the 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 linux kernel), I cannot access multiple samba shares that have share-level security using cifs. 0. To reproduce, use a server that serves two shares with share-level security. Make sure the shares have different passwords. 1. Using the standard mount command and specifying cifs

Hi, I''ve been trying out the wondershaper script, but on several of the examples I keep getting the error message:- RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument On the following line:- tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 50 u32 match ip src \ 0.0.0.0/0 police rate 512kbit burst 10k drop flowid :1 Based on other posts to this mail list, I gather it is an issue with kernel

I have a Samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 configured on a Fedora 5 server. It's joined to an Active Directory 2003 domain controller using Winbind, etc. I'm able to connect from various workstations using active directory user accounts/credentials just fine to shares on this server, permissions work, and all is well. I'm guessing this is set up correctly. However, from another Fedora 5 server,

Okay my smb.conf file is correct. Firewall is configured correctly to allow Samba on local network. smbd and nmbd are running. Her computer still cannot connect to my printer share. I read my Samba version wrong its actually 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1, here is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME realm = SHAUN server string = Samba Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = No log file =

Yohoo! I'm using rsnapshot-1.3.0-1.el5.rf (from DAG) and rsync-2.6.9-1.el5.rf (from CentOS5) together. Rsnapshot now starts every task with the "--relative" switch. Without this switch it will backup all subsequent folders (like /proc and so on) which isn't desired. So I can't omit the "--relative". But there was a bug for rsync prior to 2.6.9 that it won't

Hi, I have a quite "simple" setup for a particular customer that loves redundancy and failover. PDC + BDC with LDAP Passwords on two 389-ds in multimaster node + several samba member servers Actually pointing singularly on both the systems everything works great. As soon as I modify my passdb backend line from the single form to the form containing both backends that is from passdb

Morning, I have three machines, two xp and one win2k, that join the samba pdc fine. I have tried to join others to this same samba pdc using the same accounts for authentication without success. The xp machine first says the user does not exist, I click ok and go back to the screen for the domain account authorized to join the domain and press ok (or next) again and this time the xp box says the

I had the same problem after upgrading to 3.0.23a. I have one samba PDC running a basic setup back to the smbpasswd file, and one that runs OpenLDAP. The former did exactly as yours, and I ended up rolling back to version 3.0.23. On the latter, the smb process refused to run, reporting that it could not contact the database. I ended up having to remove all the database files and reinstall

I'm following along with John T's examples book and I'm still befuddled on getting Samba working. The server is Fedora Core 5, Samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1 PDC is W2K SP4 with AD I basically copied/pasted the example smb.conf and nsswitch.conf to get a basic working config. The lines "template primary group" gave problems so I removed that one line. I run testparm -s and get:
