Here's the situation: We have users who are members of groups and those groups are sometimes members of a 2nd level of groups. If a folder has permissions assigned to a 2nd level group, then the user can not access the share. Doing a "getent group | grep user | grep 2nd_level_group" also returns nothing. Samba seems to not be recognizing that a user is a member of a group under

I have only ever needto to run one samba/linux system. I now need 2 more added to the network. I need some direction on how to keep the 3 servers replicated with the unix passwords and the samba passwords. I will have one main systems with 2 Backup/storage systems on the same network Thanks for any information Scott Swaim

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

hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

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. But I want that all the member can read the files and put the file on shared folder but can not delete it. I want to protect it from

Ok, here's my setup: I've had a samba file server going for about a year now. It's Samba v2.05a on a RH6.0 sys. Currently we have a printer server running on a Winblows NT box. This NT box has the following printers: HP5si, (4) HP4000, and a few HP4s. All of those printers have Jet Direct ports on them. What I want to do is, move all the printers over to the Samba box and KILL the NT

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 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

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

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, 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

Well, maybe it's not the "best" or the "most elegant" solution - I've never tried to tweak this -, but it works: - Insert the following lines on your PDC's smb.conf: winbind enum groups = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind trusted domains only = yes winbind use default domain = yes template homedir = /home/%U

Problem ------------ SMBD processes spawn out of control until the Samba stops responding. Restarting the service does not clear the processes. Only a reboot of the server will bring it back to a usable state. This server is home to our postgres databases, Access front ends, and Production Files (excel, word...). It is a samba domain member server. We have multiple Samba file servers

hi, i was able to successfully run vfs_shadow on a samba share with win xp shadow copy client. but i think it?s currently not implemented that one could export [homes] with this vfs object, because AFAIK each @GMT-snap has to resist directly under the samba share. but [homes] is a virtual share representing different shares (depending on users). has anybody hints about using vfs_shadow with

Heyho. I'm trying to add registry entries to my workstations remotely from my server. I can currently do this remotely from any other workstation, using the standard Windows regedt32, but I'd like to do it form the server. .. The server is Samba 3.0.22-r3 on a Gentoo server. I've been digging around for a while now, and have managed to find docs for samba-tng which seem to
