OK before i start, this was something i was just testing while everyone was in training this afternoon. I have never had to deal with subnets before as we only have a few users, but decided to do a little bit of messing around to gain some experience. Basically we have one server (mandriva 2006) running samba, it has two 4 port ethernet cards in it but only utilitising one port from each card.

Just to get these things out of the way CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) # yum list installed | grep openssl openssl.i686 0.9.7a-43.14 installed openssl-devel.i586 0.9.7a-43.14 installed # yum list installed | grep samba samba.i386 3.0.10-1.4E.11 installed samba-client.i386

Hi there, I use FC5. I discovered, for an exemple, if you have a user group with 3 members (Alan, Baker, Clive), before 3.0.23c this line at smb.conf worked fine: valid users = @user But with 3.0.23c update it doesn't work anymore. You have to replace the line like this: valid users = Alan, Baker, Clive I mean, replace the "@groupname" with the complete userlist of the

Hello, i use Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) with Samba Version 3.0.10-1.4E. Samba are running as PDC.

Hi, I use winbindd and to use it I write my Active Directory Domain Controller in the "password server" directive in smb.conf. Since I have not one but two servers (for failover situations), can I write another password server?

I feel I should know the answer to this, but I wanted to verify. I have a bunch of Windows PC's running Win 2K Pro, on three subnetworks. Two of the subnets are served by Unix (FreeBSD) boxes running NATD, but all are joined to a domain being run on a Win 2K Pro server in another building on the campus. So far I haven't joined the two Unix boxes to the domain. I'd like to

I'm working for a higher education institution, and we have Novell Netware for our file sharing services. We are looking at what migration paths are available. I know samba works, we use it on a number of Solaris and Linux boxes and have it authenticate against our Windows ADS. Manually editing samba confiiguration files for up to a hundred users is OK. The challenge is how do you manage a

We had to power down all servers today for electrical maintenance in the building and for some reason I began having access problems related to the valid users lists when power was restored. The dialog from the 'Samba-3.0.23 broke my network' thread seemed as if it might be related even though I had not performed any software upgrade so I tried adding the group mappings as discussed in

Hi to all, I know that a few posts treat this subject, but I can't found the good answer to my problem. I actually have a Samba domain based on a smbpasswd backend. I must migrate to an AD 2003 and all is working correctly if I don't select the SID history migration. If I select this 'SID history migration' option, I received a message 'Could not verify Auditing

Well, I'm having some problems migrating users. I work on an university, and all teachers / students / users only have a Webmail accout. What I want to do is migrate those users to a LDAP server, and make Windows XP authenticate on a Samba Domain Controller. So far, I've managed to make the PDC and LDAP base, but... how can I migrate users from a passwd/shadow account to a samba

Hi All, We have an NT4 machine which is our PDC. I'm looking to replace this with one of our linux servers. I joined the linux server to the domain ok. Then I vampired all the accounts across which worked ok. I then switched off NT PDC, made samba the master and start samba service. Problem is we are loosing all our settings. After a quick hunt around I noticed a new profiles

Hello! I'm looking for a solution, how the data of a Samba server can be shared between 2 Samba Servers (2.x and 3.0) during migration process. The new environment will be done from scratch, new Hardware, etc. Old Samba server/environment: Samba 2.x Authentication via W2k Server (security = DOMAIN) Server has more than 100 netbios aliases No POSIX-ACL's Users and Groups are stored

Hi there, I have a problem getting my Samba installation redundant. I installed a PDC and a BDC working with 2 LDAP servers. The problem is, when users are logged in and the BDC fails, the PDC does not take over the running sessions and vice versa. The clients have a hanging explorer and so on. When the failing server gets back online again, everything works, no lags anymore. Is it possible

Hi all, I have a Samba 3.0.20b installation on a Redhat 9 system running as PDC for a Windows Domain. I now would like to move the PDC funktionality to an existing Debian Sarge system running Samba 3.0.23c and then decommision the Redhat system. I did search for information on how to do this but all the information that I could find seems to deal with Samba 2.x PDCs since the MACHINE.SID file is

Hello, I have set up a Samba-Server (samba-3.0.23a-0.1.34.x86_64.rpm and after that samba-3.0.23c-0.1.36.x86_64.rpm) as PDC and tdbsam-passdb backend. I can add XP-Computers and Users to the Domain, but the Domain-Users has problems with Access-Rights on the Win-XP-Systems. The Reason is (i think so) that samba has not generated the typical Groups: Result from 'net groupmap list' =>

Hello, I changed all of the NT user account names to lowercase, however I am unable to change the group accounts to lowercase. The Samba server is running on Suse 10.0. Will the uppercase group names cause any problems during or after the migration to Samba? Thanks in advance. James

We have samba 2.2.12 running on Solaris 9. Our PDC and BDC are windows 2000 servers running AD. Our windows admin is ready to promote a new windows 2003 R2 server to a DC. When she started DCPromo she received a warning message about older versions of windows and non-windows systems including SAMBA might not be able to communicate. Our configuration with SAMBA is not restrictive. Below is a
