Gidday I am in the process of finishing a server migration (to a new server), and am having problems with samba on the new server. The old server was running samba 3.0.22-r3 on a Gentoo machine, and the new server is running Samba 3.0.25a on a Solaris 10 machine. I have copied the files across OK, I have copied the samba configuration OK, samba runs fine, connects to the ldap backend

I'm trying to decide on a linux distro to use for our enterprise Samba server. I like that there is a deb repo for Debian from samba.org, but I'm more comfortable with CentOS (Redhat). I just want to be sure I have a well supported Samba server and I need at least the 3.0.20 version so I can use the "inherit owner" property. I also want automatic updates for bugfixes and

Hi folks! Our smb with LDAP PDC now seems to be nearly completed. Just now we found out something very mysterious. We organized some directorys to be used by specific domain groups. If we put a user into a group the user is allowed to access the associated share. So far this works pretty nice. If we remove the user from the domain group the user seems to keep all his rights he got from his group

I am newbie for samba configuration at security level. I have read all the documents but could not resolve my problem. My problem is as below and would like your help to resolve it I have installed Samba - 3.0.0-14 on Redhat ES 3 and everthing is working fine.

I am looking at putting the medisoft application on a samba share. I was wondering if there is currently anyone using this configuration and if so then what are some of the problems that I might encounter. The app is currently being hosted on a Winxp pro machine and I need to move it to a server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Scott Swaim

Hi, Im trying to run samba as a non-root user and I was wondering if this is even possible, and if not what is preventing it from being ran as a normal user??

Hello list, I'm trying to setup Samba to use: ldapsam:editposix = yes but I'm having problems to add users via "smbpasswd -a". It seems smbpasswd tries to modify an existing entry (and falling of course) instead of adding a new entry. Is that a bug, a configuration problem, or intended behavior? Do I need to create a postixaccount entry prior to use "smbpasswd

I have a Samba server with Windows XP clients, and roaming profiles for every user. At this moment everyone can log onto any workstation, but it shouldn't be like that: there are some workstations where anyone can log into, but three of them should be restricted to some specific users. I thought about making local users for them, but we need all users to have roaming profiles, I can't

Heyho. My apologies if this mail arrives twice. The first time I sent it my email address didn't correspond to the one I signed onto the list with (one was an alias for the other). I'm not sure if the original will eventually make it through or not. I have a NT Domain which is run by my samba server (v3.0.22-r3 on Gentoo Linux). Everything works well, and the backend database is

Hi all, Thanks is advance for any help you can offer - I just inherited a Samba file server in my new position, and am familiar with Samba, but no genius in it. The problem is that we need to upgrade our Windows 2003 domain, and our Samba server - version 3.0.10-1.4E won't connect to a Windows 2003 active directory. So, we have to leave a Windows 2000 DC running to authenticate to it.

Hiya, I'm trying to set up a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I experienced problems joining machines to domains, the machine account was created, but Windows said user name cannot be found. I resolved this by adding ldap to /etc/nsswitch.conf, but this has the side effect of allowing ldap users to login to the server via SSH. Whilst I can understand the need for LDAP users to be accessible

Hello! I tried to run a samba3 server as pdc for windowsXP clients with ldap backend and kerberos authentication. I stuck with these two possibilities: 1. Samba is pdc, winxp is domain-member, users are autheticated against smbpasswords within ldapsam. If the kerberos password of the korresponding principal has the same password, the users get a ticket from the kdc after windows logon. But I

One computer will show the previous versions of files just fine, but every other computer I've installed the Microsoft Shadow Copy Client on will not show any previous versions. The Previous Versions tab is just blank. In the samba log, I get this: [2006/11/28 12:02:02, 0] modules/vfs_shadow_copy.c:shadow_copy_opendir(81) shadow_copy_opendir: SMB_VFS_NEXT_OPENDIR() failed for

hello I'm having the following problem: On a share I have a user with read-only access to word files. Another user has read-write access to these files. When the user with read-only access opens a word file and then the user with read-write access to these files opens the file, the read-write user has only read-only access. If the read-write user opens the word file first, then he has

Ok, I'm stumped. Last week domain logons worked. Now when I try to logon, I get a message, "You could not logon because the SJSA domain is not available. I've had this happen before when the trust account between the client and server was out of sync (restored a disk image that had a different trust account password) To fix this, it has been sufficient to quit the domain, reset

Hi, I was able to successfully configure my samba server 3.0.24 running on Debian Linux server as "Domain Member Server" to W2k3 server. Command "net rpc testjoin" indicates that the join is a success. As mentioned in the document http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html Under the section "Nested Group Support" I was trying to

Hello, We are using machines with Solaris and Windows XP. The XP machines are joined in a domain(windows 2003) and the Solaris machines are not joined to any domain. With Samba 2.2.8a running on Solaris 9 there are no problems to access them form Windows XP. We are authenticated by DC. On other machines we have Solaris 10 with Samba 3.0.21b and here we are NOT authenticated anymore by DC. So we

OK , but then the solution with symlinks is equivalent, just with the right options for rsync. Make the link. Sync + exclude. Remove the link.
