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've been reading the thread (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113286376900001&r=1&w=2) and I have the same limitation with WINS in a PDC/BDC. That's why I have the following (experimental) setup: PDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: master ldap BDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: slave ldap I configured some of my XP clients to use both WINS servers

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

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

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

hello when I try to connect to a share from my windows xp client, it does not work. In linux via smbclient, there's no problem. see below for the error log version = 3.0.21a security = server (the problem only seems to occur on servers that rely on another samba server for authentication). any ideas? werner [2006/01/27 09:30:32, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(307)

Hello When I perform the "net rpc trustdom list" command I get the "couldn't enumerate accounts" error. I use LDAP as passdb backend with approximately 30000 accounts. If I run the command, I can see from my LDAP logs that it tries to list every account on the LDAP server. Therefore the "net rpc trustdom list" command times out. Is this normal behaviour?

Hello, Im using Samba and LDAP together and if I use the scriptPath attribute for a user defined in LDAP, it seems that variable substitions no longer work like they did when you're using the global logon script parameter in smb.conf. example: scriptPath = scripts\%m.bat ==> %m.bat is NOT substituted to machinename.bat Because the "logon scripts" directive of smb.conf will
