Just setup a new domain controller running Samba-3.0.20b. Using smbpasswd file (no LDAP). How do I setup a group of users so they become domain administrators? I thought I just typed this: % net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=ntadmin I am in group unix ntadmin, but I'm it doesn't seem to work. Michael -- Michael Keightley

I have the latest version of Samba on Fedora Core 4. I need help adding users to the admin group so windows is not so crippled :-\ I have used the net groupmap add command to map them to unix group of admin....which is mapped to "Domain Admins" for windows. The users are members of the unix admin group but they have no admin access when logging into the domain. I also tried editing

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

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 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. If i save a 160 KB Excel file (Excel 2000 and XP) on a Windows 2000 Client, then samba hangs. With a XP Client running all normally. i make several tunning options (socket options, write raw,...) but no change. any idea? thx chris

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

Please can you help with this? I work at a charity and need help to find a solution urgently or Samba / Linux, might be superseded my 'MS' - Oh my GOD!!!!

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, i use the vfs-object "recycle" on the [homes] share and defined recycle:repository = /backup/recycle/%G/%U/.recycle. What happens, when using the same repository path for another share, e.g. [data]. Could this lead to data loss in the waste bin? I could of course branch into "/backup/recycle/%G/%U/.recycle/homes" and "/backup/recycle/%G/%U/.recycle/data" but i

Hi all, I cannot find a good description of how to use the windows administrative shares. Since I'd like to mount them from a Linux box, using samba, to perform backup of the user client, I'd like to know how can I access them. In particular, in a computer where I've got a single user, without password, what are the share credentials? And how can I set permissions for such share?

Hi All, We use an automatic home share of the form below. [homes] comment = User Home Dirs path = /home/%U valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 browseable = yes guest ok = no Is it possible to do group shares a similar way? We want to have an automatic group share for any secondary groups with a

Now that I have my Samba PDC up and running, I will soon be building a NAS for network file storage, backups and running virtual machines and tests. I need to make some shares on this machine that network users can access for file storage. I can either design it to be a Samba Domain Member and set up shares that would be authenticated via the PDC or I could simply mount the shares to the PDC

Hi list, Small bug here succesfully setup a samba file server as a domain controller . Thing is I can't see the clients in network neighborhood - only the file server. This seems to also be causing problems for central admin programs, which is a real concern. Can any one shed light on this? Thanks, -- Ismail

I am trying to produce 2 kinds of shares: [homes] the typical home directory share. And an all users (even guest) writable share. On the home directory share, I am able to create files through my windows XP, but I unable to create new directories. The all available share I can't even browse. Help please. Shlomi PS: I attached my smb.conf

Hello, I do volunteer work for a local non-profit business. I've built several computers for them, set up their network, etc... A few years ago I set up a Samba PDC server for them with Windows XP clients. The current setup works fine. The Windows clients store their profiles and documents on the server in the corresponding home directory and locally (on the client) so that if the server is
