Using SWAT I found that the smbd was not starting. I have tried the following: Trying to start smbd (as root) from the cli with: smbd start Seems to execute the command and gave no errors but still swat says that

Installing R on Knoppix Knoppix is a small LINUX distribution (http://www.knoppix.net/) runnable from a CD (without an installation) It can be also installed on a hard drive from a single CD. The idea was to reuse an old laptop with 6gb hard drive and 128mb memory. I had few days experience with Linux and few years experience with R. The latter was not required :-) The Knoppix installation

You have to replace the line like this: valid users = Alan, Baker, Clive I mean, replace the "@groupname" with the complete userlist of the

Hi people. I use centos on many my servers and they are running samba which comes with centos: samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9 From samba-3.0.10 to 3.0.23c many thnigs in code had change.

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.

Hi, I've just updated (using yum under fedora 5) to the latest version of samba and am now encountering a major problem with samba. Whenever I attempt to access shares (don't have printers or other such non disk shares) the access fails (after prompting for password, and performing some level of authentication, it notes if no password is entered that Anonymous login successful).

We built a new server running Samba 3.0.23c and configured it to replace our corporate PDC that was running Samba 3.0.7. The PDC uses tdbsam and has the "admin users" directive defined. All user accounts were copied to the new server. Using the output of "net groupmap list" from the old server we mapped the windows accounts and SIDs to their unix group counterparts on the

Hi, Two days ago, I tried to turned my samba server, which worked perfectly into a PDC but despite of all my efforts, skimming thru the docs, mailing lists, hanging on #samba, I've never been able to logon to the new domain from the WinXP clients. Authentication is OK, but then access to the share is denied. Here's part of the log: [2006/09/28 19:03:36, 2]

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' =>
