I have Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I just realized that the users can reset their passwords to anything, a single character a space. Is there anyway to prevent this?

I am using the following in my smb.conf on samba-3.0.28-0.el5.8 idmap domains = MYDOMAIN idmap config MYDOMAIN:backend = rid idmap config MYDOMAIN:base_rid = 998 idmap config MYDOMAIN:range = 998 - 49999 idmap uid = 998-20000 idmap gid = 998-20000 template homedir = /home/users/%U # template primary group =

We have had a Samba LDAP-PDC-BDC system setup for close to 3 months with about 60 computers in the domain. Earlier we had a power outage and about 30 computers no longer were able to log into the domain or authenticate. Some were NT Workstations and some were W2k. But not all NT or W2K workstations were affected. If we went to network neighborhood we would see the error message "

Does anyone know how can I monitor files that was being open and access in the samba directory? If this was not possible, is there third party apps that can help me do what I want? -- Nelson Serafica http://nelsontux.blogspot.com

I have so far set up my samba server successfully with winbind and using an NT4 PDC. I can get to my shares and when I create a file or directory the owner and group for the file appears as MYDOMAIN+USER1 MYDOMAIN+Domain Users I am using winbind seperator = + [Share1] comment = Share1 path = /Share1 read only = no public = yes My problem is how do I set up a share so that

For me getting a member server to work I did not need winbind just ldap was sufficient. Did you made the trust account? Getent group and passwd must give you all users and groups. You must be able to chmod domainuser:domaingroup on your Member Server. What I recognized is that the member server with samba 3.028 is much to slow. It takes too long if you try to connect over My Network Places. This

I am using Samba-PDC-LDAP with samba-3.0.20b-1. On my file servers I am using samba-3.0.10-1.4. I'm not sure exactly what is happening but every couple of weeks the file servers disappear form network neighborhood. I checked browstat on my Windows system and it points to my PDC as the master browser and I checked the wins.dat file on my PDC and the systems were there. I did not check

I've been experimenting with Samba a bit. I won't claim to know a whole lot about it, because I don't, and I'm even somewhat of a newbie when it comes to Linux/UNIX. But I've been working with the worked examples that the HOW TO docs describe on the website, configuring my smb.conf file as is stated. I'm running Samba 3.0.14a-2 on Fedora Core 4, and I'm running into a

Hi all, I would like two Samba servers to be able to talk to each other via NetBIOS. The problem is that they are on two different subnets. I have enabled broadcast ping on the routers, and the servers can each ping the other subnet with no trouble. The two relevant IPs are 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.2.3. There is a T1 between two Cisco routers, and IP routing is all set up. Currently

Ok...I'm stuck. Environment: Suse 8.0, with Samba 2.2.3a, no domain controller (workgroup only). Client machine is NT4 Workstation, SP5. Access to disk shares is fine, no problems, using encrypted PWs. I'm trying to set up a [print$] share, as described in chapter 6 of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. The symptom that I get is that when I attempt to load the driver to the print$ share, I

Has anyone heavily exercised the TCP connection forwarding features in openssh? I use this feature quite extensively for secure web surfing. I run a ssh command like this: ssh -c blowfish -L3128:127.0.0.1:3128 squidmachine Then I set up Netscape on my local machine to use 127.0.0.1:3128 as a proxy server. Needless to say, this exercises the TCP connection forwarding feature quite heavily. This
