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 read through some of the info on using dfs roots and I am needing some advice. Since a unc is still \\servername\ based it occurs to me that the only way to do this properly is to create a smb.conf file that publishes a netbios name like \\dfsroot -- Then, to create a failover system, I would take that config file and copy it around to multiple samba server. Then, have some kind of watch or

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

I am looking for documentation on creating the secrets file. man -k rsync on my system doesn't have any reference to how to create a secrets file. Also, rsync.samba.org didn't seem to have documentation either. Any pointers? -- -- David Bear College of Public Programs at Arizona State University

Hi everybody, I got a problem here with my Samba ADS member server. It functions as a file server and works for a long time. A few weeks ago our Active Directory domain controller failed due to power outage. We fixed it and now an employee reports that he could not use the samba file server any more. I restarted samba service and did the following testing: 1) getent passwd <thisUser>

Hi there, Is it just me or do many other rspec / rpsec_on_rails users spend more time than they would like feeding the framework ? Don''t get me wrong, I love rpsec, but I seem to spend about 2/3 hours per week hunting down rspec problems. For example, today `rake spec:models` is broken. When I migrate, load fixtures and run `spec -cfs` all is well. When I run `rake spec:models`,

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.

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

Hi, I'm building "cheap" print servers using old Pentium 133 (150, 200 or 233) with 32 (or 64) MB of RAM memory. Small HDs (2.1, 3.5, 4.2) GB and using Debian Sarge (3.1), with kernel 2.6, CUPS and Samba 3.0.10. The print part is ok, works fine and it is just information to the background. Now our IT team decided to put a CD and make the "cheap" print servers became

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

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

for some strange reason, our wins servers occasionally drop samba servers out of there name space. to deal with this, I cron'ed a restart of samba at midnight everynight. This was a quick solution, but a lousy one. I would rather have some way to have samba regularly send name registration requests to wins. Is there a way to do this? barring that, is there some interface I can query on samba
