similar to: Two domain groups with the same gid?

I have a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain and I need to create a group policy to assign an msi install to a computer. This has always worked fine on a Windows share, but now the install fails after moving to a Samba file server. I'm guessing it's some sort of permissions issue. Does anyone know how to make this work? James Dinkel Network Engineer Butler County of Kansas

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

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

We are running a fileserver (Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.9) on CentOS 4.4. No AD, clients are Windows XP and OS X. Linux acl's are used for access to directories and files. Each top-level folder belongs to a primary group with mode 2770. The acl's restrict access to lower level directories. We need to pass the acl's down the directory tree or else users may have unexpected access to

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

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

Our samba server authenticates to Windows 2000 Active Directory and I have ea support enabled on the share and on the file system. The OS is Debian Stable, fully updated and using Samba 3.0.23c from Backports. Now copying and accessing files is plenty fast, but when setting up permissions on directories that contain 100 GB or so of files and subdirectories takes like 60 minutes from the time I

What is the difference between %u and %U? The documentation says they both return the value of the connected username, but will they return different values? James Dinkel Network Engineer Butler County of Kansas There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I imagine we can save some space on our file server by cleaning up all the files that are saved multiple times by different people. There is already the fdupes command in linux that will scan a directory tree and report what files have duplicates. This could be easily scripted to turn those duplicate files into symlinks to one file. The problem is see, then, is what would happen if someone

Greetings, 4 belated x86_64 updates here for CentOS-3 (I just got my 64-bit development boxes back from a show). They'll be hitting the mirrors eventually.

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

What is the difference between Heimdal and MIT as far usability goes? MIT seems to be the default on major linux distrobutions, but I here a lot about people preferring Heimdal, but I can't find any reasons why. Is one generally more stable/faster/reliable than the other? There is already a blank wiki page at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Kerberos so if anyone has any good

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone can help with a problem I'm having getting VMWare to work on CentOS 3.3 (x86-64). I recently downloaded VMWare workstation 4.5 (not sure of exact version number but its the latest version as of yesterday). I was hoping to run CentOS as my main OS and then use VMWare to still support Windows XP machines and run the couple of applications which refuse to

Dear list, for the purpose of installing a qlogic driver into my system, I need the exact kernel source version mentioned above. The kernel version is a dependency for the cluster suite (for centos4) package, which has been installed using yum (yum install cman gfs [...]). Where can I get the kernel source for this exact version? The only one which is offered to me by yum is version

Hi, I compiled Samba 3.0.23d on a CentOS 4.4 machine. Then I configured /etc/krb5.conf for my domain. Was able to successfully run kinit and join my Windows 2003 domain with a net ads join. Net ads user and net ads group returns the users and the groups of the domain. So far so good. I'm kinda stuck on the next step. I would like to grant access to the share defined in smb.conf to anybody

This is running in vmware, and I noticed occasionally wmware reports that the cpu is being maxed out by a virtual machine. Logging into the virtual machine and running top confirms that the smbd process is maxing out the cpu. If I leave it alone for a while, eventually it starts dropping connections and not letting people into the file server. Killing the process with kill -9 does no good, it
