similar to: migrate machine-passwords from smbpasswd to ldap?

I'm just migrating a medium sambainstallation from old samba2.2.8 to new samba 3.0. The server is acting as PDC and there is no BDC. The new samba is based on LDAP and is already successfully tested. Now I need to transfer the whole old smbpasswd to the new ldap-style to convert users and machines with minimal effort. Especially I dont want to break the relations between the machines and

Months ago there was a thread here about the implementation of a simple undelete-function (i.e: dont delete files, but move them to a folder). Is this this still a relevant idea or has this feature low priority ? thanx, peter ps: anyone knows about a 3rd-party software (propably on nt-side) that implements such a feature ? -- mag. peter pilsl phone: +43 676 3574035 fax : +43 676 3546512

By now we had running samba as PDC and fileserver for about 20 NT4-clients with roaming profiles. Now we start migrating NT4-clients to XP-clients and as I found out roaming userprofiles between XP and NT4 is not possible (NT4->XP works, but not vice versa). So I just thought about cloning all the profiles (docs and mails are not in the profiles so only bookmarks, adressbook and

A productional system (linux) running samba 2.2.5 runs 'cracy' from yesterday. There are lot of 'odd' behaviours. People cant logon or cant logoff. Access to files fails. Examining the logs the most eyecatching events are: (not that the keynumber started at 959 and went slowly down. I did not wait until it goes to zero and let the user reboot its machine before) Any idea ? thnx,

while looking for a solution for webbased access to our samba-servers I found a recommendation towards using DAV instead. I just took a first glance at DAV (www.webdav.org) and find it very interesting. Are there any documentes comparing these two strategies in intranet and internet (speed, reliability ...) I would also be greatly interested if anyone here uses DAV to allow roaming users to

samba2.07,nt4sp6a I run a samba-server with 15nt-clients on a 100MBit-Switch. Now I faced extremely poor performance and really have no idea why. I even dont know if it can be a samba-problem. When copying myriads of small file from a client to the server or vice versa I get bad performance: 1000 files a 16kb: ~80seconds = 200kb/second But this is highspeed compared to copying from nt to nt:

I'm thinking about upgrading our NT4-clients to XP in the near future and I want to know how well XP is supported by SAMBA in the recent samba-versions. I found many single statements in usenet, but I wonder if there is a kind of XP-FAQ out there. (The one at samba-page is very outdated) Especially I need to know how well XP integrates in a existing NT4-domain (samba as PDC). Then I need

I'm using samba 2.2.3a as fileserver and domaincontroller for 12 NT4-clients (sp6a) and occassionally - when a user tries to logon - there comes the following messages on the nt-client: - No Windows NT Domain Controller is available for domain XXXX. There are currently no logonservers available to service the logonrequest. - and - server-side profile not available. The OS tries to log you on

When syncing huge data-folders (~50GB) with a remote server on a daily base I frequently (every 2nd to 3rd time) get the following error: Read from remote host goldfisch.at: Connection timed out rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092 bytes: phase "unknown" [generator]: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1099) rsync error:

I have a very strange problem and I'm doomed. In a samba-domain with XP-clients certain users cannot logon to some computers. The user tries to logon but *immediately* gets the message "you cant get logged on. please check username and domain and retype your password" (translated from german) on the XP-machine. In the samba-logs (Loglevel=2) it says: [2009/05/19 16:47:16, 2]

Hello Everybody, I have samba 2.2.8a instaled on a RedHat 7.3 Gnu/Linux. I'm trying to setup a Samba as a PDC Server for Win2K/XP/98 workstations. The basic stuff did very well, everybody can join and access the domain. But now I want the shares by departments and give only access to the correct users. I tried to setup a group policy between my users and shares doing the

Hi I actually had this same problem when running up samba originally. Check that the user has a valid unix acount and that you have added that to the folder share/valid users section.

I run a NT-Domain with samba 3.0.28a and WinXP-Clients (SP3) Everything is fine. But now I created a new user and this new user can logon to all machines in the Domain but one. On this machine the user gets the message "user cannot login. check username/password/domain and be aware that username/password are casesensitive" (I translated this from german) Other users can login fine.

Hi All. I have a SAMBA PDC that uses LDAP as its back end. The OS, is UBUNTU 6.10 Server. SAMBA Version is 3.022 The problem is, when a client logs onto the Domain, he presses Control+Alt+Del, and chooses Change Password. He types in the old password, then the new one, and confirms this. When he clicks on OK, it thinks for a bit (about 30 seconds) and then says: "The system cannot change

Hi all, after an upgrade of my Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit box to a self-compiled samba 3.4.3 (Lenny backport dpkg), I see strange error messages in my OpenLDAP log: slapd[3388]: do_search: invalid dn (sambaDomainName=,sambaDomainName=<domain>,cn=<...>,dc=<...>,dc=<...>) Samba seems to work, though, but this message makes me somewhat nervous. Any ideas? Thanks, Albrecht.

We use rsync a lot to backup various stuff over bigger distances and its my project to look deeper into this backups to optimize backup. While its easy to make rsync print the size of the files it is transferring I didnt figure out how to determine how much bytes are actually transferred per file which is even more interesting. If I sync a whole data-structure with 100.000 files lets assume 1000

I use to sync several servers with rsync for years now. One strange thing I still havent figured out: while rsync does its job perfectly will, it cant refuse to transfer all files with "index.html" in it, even if the files havent change. example: the following files are the same for years, but every night rsync copies them again:

Is there a trick to copy files via smbfs and keep uid/gid/permissions? Usually uid/gid/permission of a transfered file depends on the uid used when mounting the remote share. But maybe there is a trick/patch whatever ... background: I'd like to use a linux-based NAS to backup loads of files *including their permissions and uid/gid*. The NAS supports NFS (which can do what I want) but the
