When issuing a net rpc group list I see two entries for the same group name: sudo net rpc group list Password: Domain Faculty Domain Guests Domain Admins Domain Admins Domain Users So I have 3 questions. 1) could this be the cause of my failure to be able to join machines to the samba domain? 2) how do I remove one of these groups 3) how to I check membership in the 'Domain Admins'

I have created a domain controller using samba 3.0.20. I following howto's from a couple of books and the samba.org site. I was able to use net rpc vampire to migrate the old nt4 domain user accounts, machine accounts, and trusts. However, now when I attempt to use add a new machine to the domain I receive and error. From windows I get: "The user name could not be found" When I

I have configured a domain controller in samba 3.0.xxx. I followed the how-to at samba.org and I think I may have missed a step because now when I attempt to add a machine to the domain, I get an error. I am using tdbsam as the user/group store. I ran the net group map to make windows groups to unix groups. I have verified that my administrator users are in group wheel. I do not use the map

We put together a samba 3.0.x server to replace an nt domain controller 3 weeks ago when our nt servers were being hit by and unpatched/unpatchable vulnerability in nt. we went through numerous howto's and other documents. The net rpc vampire seem to grab everything fine. However, now when we attempt to add a machine to the domain we get a failure. looking through the log files we see

Hi, I'm trying to create a map of DFS links to actual server/share's. I know that you can get this information by logging on to the DFS root server, but I'm trying to use the libsmbclient API to get this information. I have created a fairly simple DFS structure on 2003 servers with everything on the same domain. //MyDomain/DFSRoot /Link1 -> //Fileserv-1/FileShare1 /Link2

Hi, i tried to running Samba 3.0.9 with MSDFS under Linux 2.6.9. The normal sharing of Directories to the Target-Server (also Samba with same version and Linux) run's without problems. Only the dfs-share to the same Samba-Server is not usable. The Share-Name self is visible but without cointain. I have compiled the new source with the "--with-msdfs" switch and have also check the

Hallo, I'm using samba 3.0.20b-3.11-SUSE on a SLES-based system. My system has two NICs in this configuration eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:24:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.16.0.2 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Maske:255.255.0.0 eth1 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:1B:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.18.160.11 Bcast:172.18.255.255 Maske:255.255.224.0 eth0 points to

Hi: I've got a samba/DFS server configured that works fine under it's original name, but I'm getting booted out of that DNS domain, into a subdomain. All my (WinXP) clients have drives mapped to names like \\server.domain.com\dfsroot. If I browse to the path, \\server.domain.com\dfsroot, everything works. I can access the shares pointed to via the dfs links But, now the network is

Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible. My config is: --- [global] debuglevel = 10 netbios name = SAMBAII workgroup = XAMBA security = user domain logons = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes

Is there a trick to being able to access shares via \\domain\dfsroot\.. rather than \\computer\dfsroot\... ? Only the latter works for me - samba 3.0.22

We restored to 3.0.23d after update to 3.0.25a because of strange dfs behavior. the detailed situation: on msdfs root server 'samba' ls -lR dfsroot/: drwxr-xr-x appl1 dfsroot/appl1 lrwxrwxrwx share1 -> msdfs:server1\share1 [dfs] comment = "SaMBa DFS root" path = /path.../dfsroot # next line does not work prior 3.0.25 !!! # hide unreadable = Yes

Hi, I'm trying to set up msdfs on FreeBSD 4.10 with samba 3.08. The clients I use are WinXp (sp1) and the desktop browser on RedHat ES3. Problems described beneath are identical for both clients. I tried to follow the howto as precisely as possible to not into problems, however, I did... In /export/dfsroot I made a link msdfs:strsvr01\part0 . I made sure everything is in lower case.

Hi guys, I haven't seen any replies to this, but im seeing the exact same thing with Fedora 7 samba (with all the currently available patches). using winbind into a an ADS realm. My samba is 3.0.25b. Clients are XP, 2003 r2 SE and EE 32bit, 2003 r2 SE 64 bit. All work ok for a while, then suddenly start doing the same as below. I.e., when mapped it looks fine, then some time in the future

Hello list I try to setup a DFS root like documented in the Samba HOWTO Collection Chapter 18. (using Samba 3.0.14a btw.) I setup everything as specified there, but when I try to access one of the linked shares from a windows machine, I get a message telling me the location is unavailable. Looking at the logs reveals: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- [2005/04/20

Is the issue below addressed in 3.0.25b? (no freebsd port available yet so I'm still at 3.0.25a) I can't see anything specifically about this in the release notes. I just want to add that I've also seen this behaviour on a windows xp x64 client. It's a pretty serious problem.. so I'm also thinking I may have to revert to an earlier version if it doesn't look like a

Hallo, I want to use several DFS-Shares from a M$-Server trough my Samba-Server (3.0.20b-3.21-1370-SUSE on an OpenSchoolServer). I've created symlinks in /export/dfsroot like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2007-05-04 08:06 agbhome -> msdfs:172.18.160.10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-03-28 09:36 home -> msdfs:172.18.160.10\ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2007-02-04 11:44 lehrer ->

Hi list DFS Links in a separate share seems to work, but in the [homes] section does not. Is this a known problem? Samba is 3.0.26a. /etc/smb.conf excerpts: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- [global] ... host msdfs = yes ... [homes] ... msdfs root = yes ... [dfstest] path = /data/dfsroot msdfs root = yes ---------------------------- 8<
