I have set up a logon script to run when users login. It works for me when I log in, but my user ID is mapped to a root group as well as administrative privileges. But it is not executing for regular users. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Boaz logon script = stdlogon.bat logon home = logon path = security = user preferred master = yes domain logons = yes

I'm setting up a Samba server using CentOS 4's (RedHat Enterprise Linux) standard version (v.3.0101411). I want to be able to force users to change their password upon first logging in and to have to change them after a certain period of time (per user, not system-wide). The problem is that the pdbedit commands don't seem to be registering at all in the database. If I enter the

With a recent upgrade to Centos 4.6 my system's Samba was also upgraded to 3.0.25b. But now I get a series of auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792) and auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758) errors every day. As I understand it winbind allows users to be logged in as Linux users when they log in as Windows users. But since I don't want them to have access to the

When I open the "Printers and Faxes" folder in Windows to view print queues my firewall gets a bunch of incoming packets from the server each from an ever increasing port number. (It is now up to 32840.) These are going to local ports 139 and 445. (The netbios ports.) Is this normal behavior? Should I be allowing these access to the system? Thanks in advance

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

Hello, I've been Googling and O'Reillying around this problem for the last week without success, so I'm either stupid or it's not possible. My money's still on stupid. Can someone confirm that I can't do what I want to do: - Have a SuSE 9.1 Linux box running Samba 3.0 exporting shares by SMB. - Have users log into Windows boxes running a NetWare client,

I'm a software developer at Novell. I have been tasked with porting OpenSSH to the NetWare 6.0 OS. I would like to include my NetWare specific changes,#ifdef'd of course, in the portable releases at some point. Whom should I contact with regard to this? And are there any guidlines I can look at online to minimize any disturbance this may cause to other platforms? Any assistance that

Greetings, I would be grateful if anybody can kindly give a pointer to port a Working netware 3.12 server using Centos >=5.x KVM howto? -- Regards, Rajagopal

Hi, I run rsync, with a Netware-directory mounted on a linux system (using ncpfs) as DESTINATION of the copy. This configuration works fine, but rsync incorrectly sets the archive bit (modify) for ALL the files included in the transfered directory (both modified and not modified). In consecuence, the incremental backups on my netware server don't work. Any help will be apreciated.

Hullo, all. I diligently consulted the suggested reading on the way in: > Welcome to the rsync@lists.samba.org mailing list! PLEASE READ THIS > IMPORTANT ETIQUETTE MESSAGE BEFORE POSTING: > http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html 'Twas a quick read, given that I'm the co-author. ;-> I recently received an odd inquiry from someone I didn't know at all,

Does this list supports the NetWare version (rsync.nlm)? if not does anyone know of a list that does? I'm having all sorts of issues with this ported version on my NetWare 6.5 server. Thanks Jon L.

Hi, I have actual installation Debian Sarge (testing) with Samba 3.0.2a. There is Windows XP SP1 on workstations. I use Novell client 4.83 SP2 or 4.9 SP1 for Novell Netware connections. I try to run Samba as PDC. Everything is fine without Novell client. After Novell Client installation, I could not logon to samba domain. Client gives me message "Domain controller could not be found for

I'd like to migrate a Netware 5.0 serve to Samba and LDAP. I'm wondering how I might export the usernames, passwords, and perhaps group memberships to the destination LDAP. If I can get the data into LDIF form, I'm okay from there. Does anyone know how the passwords in Netware 5.0 are encrypted? I hope to bring them over, but reseting the passwords is not out of the question (just

Hello, I have ported rsync 2.5.5 to Netware and would like to, at least, contribute the binary so that people can download it. It says on the website to use the bug tracking system to do this, but since that isn't working, I thought I would try this. Thanks for any help or direction. Lee

I have attached a diff file with the changes to existing OpenSSH source files to accomodate the NetWare platform. All changes are #ifdef wrapped using one in one of the following defines: HAVE_NETWARE - Building for NetWare USE_EDIR - Using eDirectory(TM) for authentication. NICI - Using Novell International Cryptography Infrastructure (NICI) I have successfully built the OpenSSH-3.5p1

I'm getting samba setup, and it seems to be working. I have PDC/BackupPDC issues to resolve, and want to change things so the NT PDC authenticates users instead of setting them up using smbpasswd. Right now, I can access the samba box from Win98 and WinNT workstation with "manually setup" smbpasswd's. I have been testing performance and am a little disappointed, I hoped samba

Can netware logins and password authenticate to samba shares? If so is it scalable? We have a about 50000 netware users. How do you set it up. Thanks Greg Turnbull

Dear Gurus, We're having bizarre problems/behaviour. Admittedly we have an unusual set-up: - users on linux desktops (RedHat/KDE) mounting files over SMB using samba-2.2.5-10 -client and -common rpms. - files are on a SAN, clustered behind 2 netware servers (6.5), wihch run the cifs.nlm (netware guy has gone home - can't tell you the version just now) Files are spontaneously

Dear listmembers, recently our sysadmin turned off the support for ipx-protocol. Since then I found no way to mount my home-directory on the net (novell) on my linux box. Using ipx, I had had the same servername etc) I found a lot of discussions about the way vice versa, but no FM I could R to manage around this issue (i.e. mounting a Netware volume on a linux box). Anybody out there having an

I have one last RH 7.3 system that I want to convert to CentOS 4, but I can''t find the ncpfs utilities that I used to use to mount Netware shares. Has support been removed from the 3.x and 4? Regards, Paul Berger
