Hello. New to SAMBA.(2.2.8 on RH9) Mixed environment of 98 & (trying) XP. My "net use s: /home" command works wonderfully for XP and 98. But XP throws in an "extra" "more home-than-home" directory - namely \username\.win_profile on the Z drive. I've tried disconnecting it with: net use Z: /delete, but XP claims to have a process running on it (even after 10

I'm trying to grasp pg. 154 of the "Official SAMBA-3" book by Terpstra and Vernooij and I'm just missing a critical networking concept. I understand that SIDs are the numerical identification of a user for the Windows world. I understand that UIDs are the equivalent for the *nix world. But what the @$@! is a Relative IDentifier (RID)?!? On page 153 the command to map a

Hello. I am trying to set up SAMBA 3.x on FC4. SAMBA will be PDC with no other server. I work at a K-12 school, so unless I want 20 episodes of "Family Guy" in a student's folder, I need to set quotas. I've been looking around for 2 days and I'm stumped. I found something called smbcquotas, but it seems to apply to a mixed NT server environment. I heard rumors of configure

Hi, We have a Windows 2003 R2 server (Enterprise, 64-bit, SP2) and for some reason, cannot print to our samba exported printers. I can add the printer to the system, all drivers are available, but any attempt to print results in either "Printing failed when starting document" (Firefox), "Test page failed to print." when doing a test page or just a greyed out print button

Hi, I'm working on bug https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6592 and something that has apparently changed in my setup is preventing me from testing the final stages of the fix. I have a machine running Samba server and joined to the domain, and am accessing that from the W2K3 domain server logged, logged into the latter as the domain administrator. But the problem is that in its access

I am having trouble getting samba-3.0.24-11 setup as a PDC with an ldap backend using FDS on a FC6 test box. I have installed the 1.0.4-1 version of the directory server accepting the defaults except for the server name with out any problems. I can query the directory server and it is populated with the proper objects. I am using the instructions in the Howto:Samba documentation on the FDS Wiki

This is on RHE4, I am getting an invalid DN error. Is there a good resource site for this type of configuration issue? There is a lot of info that comes up through google but I am having no luck finding anything relevant (or that seems relevant to me). Thank you in advance and sorry about the newbie question. smbd version 3.0.25b started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2007

Hi, Hoping you can help. I've updated my samba server (PDC) from 3.0.10 to 3.0.14a as part of updating from FC3 to FC4. I now find I cant see inside any of the shares, even though I can see the share names themselves and the directories are quite readable to Linux processes. So, e.g. I can see that I have a share "Users", but not the contents of it. With one exception all shares

Hello again, I ancounter another problem. When a user logs in with a Windows XP Prof. machine he can't delete the file/folder again. He can add a file/folder and can do everything with it but but not delete it again. Not even a view to the seetings is possible (all "right-click" things don't work). When the user uses a Windows 2000 machine he can do everything just fine (create,

Hi Chandler, Agreed - ranges aren't containers, just views of sequences. Still, that's all many algorithms want, and it's just as valid to ask whether a sequence is empty as it is to ask that of a container. No contest on points 2 or 3, but I'm confused about point 4. When are ranges not pairs of iterators? I mean in a way that would clash with the proposal for empty() to be

Howdi, I can't add a w2k workstation to samba3 domain with my username. If I add my username to "admin users" list, then I can add the box to domain (but overritten by euid). My goal is, that joining domain can be done without using "admin users" option. Groupmapping is done and works. When machine is in domain and log in, I get full admin rights on that box. Removing the

All, I installed the new version of samba on my Redhat 9.0 server. I have samba running on another Redhat 9.0 server and the version of samba on that box is 3.0.21c-1 and this server has successfully joined a W2K Domain. I am trying to migrate the data from the host that works to the new host. Here are the steps that I have taken to try and join to the domain. 1. rpm -i -vv

Hi, I have a problem printing on a RHEL3 server running samba-3.0.9-1.3E.1. The server is configured to authenticates users using a nearby Windows 2000 Active Directory server. Windows users are authenticated to shared drives just fine, but printing from Windows clients is proving impossible. Occasionally I can hit a configuration that allows me to add a printer on my PC using the Add Printer

Hi, I'm trying to get a Linux machine set up so that it will respond to NetWkstaGetInfo and/or NetWkstaUserEnum NetAPI requests from a Windows machine. I have samba configured and working to authenticate in the Windows domain with smb, nmb and winbind daemons running, and can browse shares on that machine from a Window PC, authenticating as either the domain administrator or a domain user.

Hi all, I've just setup a samba(PDC)+ldap-(no)winbind and it works OK for W98 client, but W2K client isn't able to join the domain. my checklist: 1. ldap works: example$ ldapsearch -LL -x -b 'ou=KAROWA' -s sub '(&(objectclass=*)(uid=lenec))' **ldap*> dn: uid=lenec,ou=People,ou=KAROWA **ldap*> uid: lenec **ldap*> objectClass: sambaSamAccount **ldap*>

I have an ubuntu 8.10 server that is authenticating against active directory (Win2k3) and acting as a fileserver. I used likewise open to setup the AD authentication. If a user creates a file in a directory that he doesn't own, he can modify the contents of the file, but not delete or rename it. The group permissions should allow the user to do this. If the user owns the directory,

Guten Tag Samba-List, after updating my Linux-Server from Debian Etch to Lenny, some of my workstations (W2kSP4) couln't log into the domain.

My /etc/smb.conf (see below the logfile) is unchanged since Debian Etch. Perhaps someone
