I am running a Debian Linux system with Samba 3.0.23d and the 2.6.8-3-386 kernel. I found a howto for adding a debian samba server to an ADS domain on debian-administrator.org but when I get to the point of actually running the 'net ads join' I get the following errors: 'resolve_name:unknown name switch type dns' And 'ads_connect:No such file or directory' Does anyone

Greets again, samba-users, been offlist for quite a while now, Samba worked OK for me ... I am currently researching a problem on a server that hasn't been updated for years as it seems. Suse 9.1, Samba-rpm samba3-3.0.4-5 ... The problem is that files (that have been stored by Windows-clients via Samba) backed up by Amanda can't be restored correctly, as it seems this especially hits

I'v got working Samba ADS servers, but "net ads info" shows most of them are associated with Win2K3 domain controllers that are in different sites than the ones the Samba servers are in (we have a large WAN with DCs in every site). I'm not configuring "password server" as I want Samba to be more fault tolerant than pointing it at one DC - when there are many to choose

Hello Is here anyone who is able to help me with Samba's problem. I've installed Samba 3.0.23d(rpm)on Centos 4.4, configured it with proper group mapping: [stef@Moon ~]# net groupmap list Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-1751608308-2869459461-2533853667-512) -> root When I try to run usrmgr from XP(root account) I am able to see users and groups names, but when I click on it I recive

I am running samba 3.0.23d on Gentoo. I have a particularly problematic server that is a domain member of our AD domain. After joining the domain, shares are available and user credentials work just fine. Then, suddenly for no apparent reason, it stops working. And, then again, just as quickly as the problem starts, it goes away. I have looked at this thing as many ways as I can possibly

I have been having a great deal of trouble compiling Samba on Solaris 10 with ADS support. Kerberos compiles fine. Samba does not configure with the standard Solaris LDAP libraries and fails in the following way.: checking for ldap_initialize... no configure: error: Active Directory support requires ldap_initialize And is caused by: configure:35160: checking for ldap_initialize

Hello, OS: FreeBSD 6.1 Samba: 3.0.23c What kind of exit code do the "delete user script" need, to prevent Samba from deleting a user in tdbsam database? I'm testing Windows "User Manager for Domain" (usrmgr.exe) and I'm trying to convince Samba to NOT delete special users like "administrator" etc. Whenever I delete such a user within User Manager for

When Samba joins to AD, net creates 'Computer' object in target AD. Object 'Computer' has attributes operatingSystem and operatingSystemVersion, which automatically setup in properly value, when native Windows join to AD. I offer a patch to utils/net_ads.c to do similar way - set up operatingSystem to "Samba" and operatingSystemVersion to Samba version, when Samba

Hello, i try to migrate user/groups from NT4 PDC to Samba3 with LDAP backend. There is already an NIS-Server with Samba runing, so there exists two userlists. I migrated the user/ groups from windows via net rpc vampire and added/changed the UID?s from the NIS-Server but didn?t change the SID. A teammate told me, there could be some access problems, if i don?t change the SID. So i tried to change

I think the message title says it all. I was attempting to do 'make test' against 3.0.23d and include the smbtorture4 tests from 4.0.0tp3 (as I read somewhere to be a good idea). Is there any reason that the test should not work? Does it have something to do with the 'unknown parameter'? Make test works fine without smbtorture4. Platform is Solaris 9 on sun4u. Samba 4 was

Hi all, I will migrate a windows fileserver to a Suse System with XFS-filesystem and Samba. I will copy the files with the robocopy tool from Microsoft.

I have a samba 3.0.23a server that is a member of a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain. I can use the Services MMC to see the services specified in the svcctl list option in smb.conf but trying to stop/start any services gives me an "Access Denied". I have tried this as a normal user as well as the domain Administrator account. I'm sure it's something I'm missing, but I

Hi guys, I have one FreeBSD server which will run Samba, and one windows client. I want the server to have two shares; each protected with their own password. So once i have connected the windows client to one share, when i click on the other a password-box should popup; with user-level security this does not work, Windows will use the same credentials as it used for the first share. So now i am

I've yet to see someone announce the 3rd edition of "Using Samba" from O'Reilly came out this week. I got it on Tuesday, so I guess it shipped Monday or Friday. If anyone else is as addicted as I am to having a solid bank of dead trees at my disposal for reference purposes, I hope this is useful information. ISBN: 978-0-596-00769-0 -- Sean Myers
