Using Seamonkey as my email client, and IMAP to check mail. If I create a new IMAP folder, and then delete it, I get the error: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Target mailbox doesn't allow inferior mailboxes. Tried a google search, didn't really come up with anything. I have rw permissions on /home/awilliam/Mail/* and delete the files fine using rm

I added myself into OpenLDAP and deleted my user account from /etc/passwd. Now samba complains in the log file: Jan 25 10:17:56 roark smbd[2767]: build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username awilliam with uid 511 is not in unix passwd database! however, I'm resolving my awilliam with nss_ldap, so I can ssh and su -l awilliam fine. so shouldn't samba be able to get

Hello, whenever I try to copy a new file from windowsXP (2K also) to a samba share which is NFS mounted on the samba server, I get an error on the client: "impossible to copy file.txt: the process cannot access the file because an other process has locked a part of it" (my english translation of the french message I have !) It worked fine before (3weeks ago) and I think that problem

I had previously tried to migrate our PDC to a new machine by simply copying the config over and such. That failed miserably but luckily the various home servers (BDC's in samba speak I think) took up the slack. So after much debate, this weekend we moved the PDC back to the original machine. We never moved LDAP off of the original machine, as only samba functions moved. I now know I did

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

My Windows XP SP3 clients aren't loading their logged_in_username.bat from my netlogon share, and I can't figure out why. It looks like in the log file the Windows PCs are loading the script, its just not executing it on the windows PCs for some reason, but if I click start, run, and type in \\roark\netlogon\scripts\jholland.bat it runs fine. Running samba 3.0.31 and here's the

I am having a problem getting users that were added in smbldap-useradd to be able to login. After I add them they are visible, but you can see I get this error - pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for test10 I believe that this has something to do with nss_ldap. because doing a getent passwd, it doesn't display any smb info. Any debugging info or help would be amazing, I'm

Hi all, This is my first experience with network file sharing on Linux so I'm looking for debugging advice. Server and client are both running FC5. I've set up my home directory as a share on the server using system-config-samba, everything seems fine. On the client side, as root: # smbclient -L server.domain Password: Domain=[DOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1]

I was trying to work through a PDC problem that I was having with 3.0.23a noted in bug 3964. I didn't know how to apply the offered patch and my distro, FC4, has not offered an update yet to 3.0.23b so I thought that I would revert to a previous version that is not affected by this bug. I forced an install of 3.0.23 samba, common, and client and now rpm reports that I have two versions of

I made a post a few weeks ago regarding this but was unable to find a solution. This is the situation: + I'm attempting to upgrade from samba 3.0.23a (Fedora core package 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1) to the latest version compiled from Samba source. + When using the latest version (or 3.0.25b), Win clients can authenticate & access shares fine, but attempting to open any kind of MS Office doc (not

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

Hi everybody, after many weeks of searching/trying, I still can't manage to get vista to use/save roaming profiles with samba as PDC... It has apparently worked a few times in the beginning since the profiles directories are populated. Could it be related to a Vista update or SP1? Here's what I did so far: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

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.

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,

Dear Michael, I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 machine and win xp pro. Besides I performed all the steps below. >From my postings I learned that the prob might have something to do with a wrong mapping in smbusers file. It seems to me that the workstation account is mapped to user nobody. Up to now I was not able to solve the prob. Do you have any ideas
