I'm trying to learn how to integrate Linux workstations and servers into a Windows 2000 Active Directory network. I've read and followed the Samba HOWTO, especially the parts about Winbind, and I got my Linux workstation authenticating using pam_krb5 and pam_winbind. klist would show I got a TGT after logging in. Domain users could login and pam_mkhomedir would properly setup a new home

Hi all, I need to protect a certain type of files, example dll, cpp, files within my share. I need to protect this set of files from being deleted, renamed or modified. Other files will have a normal permissions. can this be possible with samba options? thanks in advance for any help. warren

I'm new to Kerberos. I don't understand how Samba uses the system keytab (/etc/krb5.keytab) when "use kerberos keytab = true". Does Samba use service specific tickets? What tickets does Samba add? Do I need a cron job to keep them fresh or does Winbind take care of it? Sorry if these are elementary questions, but the Samba HOWTO didn't help me understand Samba's

Hi all, I've finally almost gotten my desired Samba+AD integration working: I've joined a domain, AD users can login, kerberos works (keytab integration, caching, etc.), etc. However, this is only true as long as I hack my /etc/hosts and /etc/samba/lmhosts files to trick Samba into always using my networks Windows 2000 Active Directory Server. The second a Samba command finds and

Hi, There is a way to allow usernames with dots like firstname.lastname. On Red hat 7.3 it was possible, but after Fedora 1 it was blocked. How this could be changed? Thanks, -- Cleber P. de Souza

Hi all, At my new job I'm able to use Linux, but I need it to integrate it as tightly as possible with the organizations ActiveDirectory network. So of course I've been working with samba, winbind, and pam_krb5 a lot over the past few days. One problem I'm running into is that running "net ads keytab create" fails with the error: "ads_connect: Operations error"

You could do what we do - just replace the local machine policies each time you rev the policy set. They're stored in c:\windows\system32\grouppolicy. Using gpscript.exe (Google for it, don't have a specific site) you can dump the contents of either registry.pol file to text. You can also recombine textfiles back into a .pol file, and subsequently rev the gpt.ini file so your new .pol

Hi. I have a Centos 4.2 installed but the Raid 1 configuration wasn't set during the installation process. How could I build the Raid 1 after the system has been installed? Thanks. -- Cleber P. de Souza

I'm using Debian Sid, and it seems like Iceweasel (aka Firefox) has been crashing a lot lately with "Bus Error" printed to stdout when it dies. I use mono/.net and python, so my C/C++ debugging skills are very lacking. I was able to capture the following using gdb on Iceweasel: Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

We have been looking for a way to notify our users when they are running low on disk quota, without sending them mail. WinPopup actually seemed like the best way, so my partner began looking at feeding quota output into smbclient -M when quota was getting tight. The only problem is that smbclient -M frequently fails to find the client's host name. The -I parameter will often fix it, but I am

I have Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I just realized that the users can reset their passwords to anything, a single character a space. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Hello We have successfully set up Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4 and we are now trying to connect remote clients to connect to it. The problems we are having are as follows: a) If we set connect with telnet, we get the login prompt. If we use any valid login name & password combination (including root), we get the response "Login incorrect" and then the login prompt comes back. How

Hi list. Maybe this could be off-topic but here I think many have used OpenLDAP to unify yours authentication needs, allowing an unique username and password for all the corporate applications. My doubt is, which rules do you use to split all the user levels so that one user could be allowed to access app A but isn't allowed to access app B (think this about many apps)? Have you been using

Hi there, I try to move our W2K Domain to samba. I managed to dump a list of the old users with its SID's and created them on the samba domain which has the same sid like the old W2k domain. Then the users should be able to use their old roaming profile without changing the profiles sid. This works if the computer which acesses the domain has already the profile on its disk. If the

Hi there, finally all seems to be working. Samba 3 as PDC with LDAP Backend. Even ACLs are possible with the command line tool setfacl. These ACLs work fine in Samba and are displayed correctly in the Windows filemanager in the security-tab. But one thing remains unsolved: why can't I set those ACLs directly from my Windows client machine? If I try to modify the ACL I always get a message

Hi, I have a AIX 5.3 machine with Samba 3.0.24c joined into one Windows 2003 ADS server OK. I can request basic information, user lookup, domain lookup(wbinfo, id, net groupmap). When I want to acces the share \\node05\brom from one Windows station I receive a popup window password. In the log of the samba for that machine I found: [2007/04/27 10:48:27, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(319)

Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)
