Hi All, I'm having issues getting Samba/Winbind to work with a domain that is lowercase. I have read on some sites that it won't work, is this the case? system is Debian lenny, samba 3.2.5-4. Windows server is 2003 running AD in 2000 native mode. I've done everything I would normally do that my running samba/ad authing servers do, and wbinfo -u + wbinfo -g work fine, as do the

I have Samba PDC and use tdbsam backend. I use the version 3.0.11, but recently I have exchanged it for the version 3.0.23c. Now I have a number of problem. Here is one of then. I wish to move one user "gad" from Domain Users (RID 513) to Domain Guests (RID 514). Now Primary group of user "gad" is "Domain Users": pdbedit -Lv gad -d0 Unix username: gad NT

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

Hi all, i have installed samba in RHEL 5 with likewise backend authentication . everything is working but am unable to access samba shares from windows 7 and vista machines .

Dear all, I don't know how to start to state my problem. But I'll try my best. The problem did not exist in 2.0.X & 2.2.0. Recently I upgrade samba to 2.2.8a. Problem exist. 1. I can start nmbd -d 5 -i & smbd -d 5 -i. 2. If I run 'smbclien -L <server name>' (itself) smbclient ask for password I type enter for null password smbclient get the service

There is a problem with a user mapping a network drive. Sometimes he can map it, sometimes he can't. SAMBA: 3.0-alpha18 UNIX: HP-UX 11.0 rsc is a valid account on the machine he's trying to connect to (entry in /etc/passwd, decent permissions on home directory and all parent directories, etc.) The strange thing is sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't

Hi. There are Samba 3.0.20b server and 'local master = yes'. I can browse network with WInXP or Win98. All is Ok.

I can use 'Find PC' on NT. But can't browse network! Could somebody

So files and

I just moved a new user onto my Samba server. He needs two things, and neither of them work! 1. When he tries to access one of the printers, he gets Access denied. Only for one of them. I can't find anything in the logs. When I try to access the printer as his user, I get: [2004/12/06 11:16:59, 5] smbd/uid.c:change_to_root_user(296) change_to_root_user: now uid=(0,0) gid=(0,0) I

Samba 3.0.21c, RHEL4. About a week ago, we restarted our Samba server because nmbd had run amok. Since that restart, our Apple clients have periodically disconnected -- by most reports, they disconnect every 15-45 minutes. It doesn't appear to be synchronized, i.e., every Mac on campus doesn't disconnect at once, but only occasionally. They get a message similar to: "A server you

Hello, I reeeeally need someone's help here. I guide after guide from all sorts of sources but I still cannot get samba to authenticate a domain login via winbind off of the windows 2003 DC on our network. Here is what I can do: I can successfully do a kinit command and can verify the existance on the samba server in active directory on the DC. I can login using domain profiles on the samba

Help, ???? I have set up?RHEL5 to authenticate against Windows Server 2003 R2 Active Directory using ldap/kerberos.??

I'm building a replacement samba 3.5.6 domain controller to replace an old 3.0 one. Some other things are changing too. Our user accounts are now in LDAP rather than flat files (although the machine trust accounts will remain in a flat file), but that should be hidden from samba as it's going to be done through NSS. The smbpasswd file is a TDB file and will remain so. Our users

Ok folks I?m at my wit?s end here as I cannot seem to join the domain I setup under Samba version 3.0.7. Every time I try and join the domain with a user that has the power to add a machine to the domain it just says that the user does not exist. This happens with all accounts which I have specified in the smb.conf file as a user that can do this function. I have added those users via smbpasswd ?a

Hi, I try to install my linux as PDC. I followed the samba project documentation and some other doc. My samba is 3.0.0 alpha2.4 My smb.conf is with the user securrity, domain logons etc...

We put together a samba 3.0.x server to replace an nt domain controller 3 weeks ago when our nt servers were being hit by and unpatched/unpatchable vulnerability in nt. we went through numerous howto's and other documents. The net rpc vampire seem to grab everything fine. However, now when we attempt to add a machine to the domain we get a failure. looking through the log files we see

Hi, We are running a samba fileserver, access controlled using posix acl (right 770, with users/groups on the filesystem level. Therefore samba shares look like this: [share] path = /srv/academic read only = no writable = yes create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 Now certain users complain that they cannot access certain folders, but looking at the folders from the linux fileystem, their
