hey list, we are currently migrating our users from novell to samba. now we have one problem: in novell we could give e.g. user1 access to users2 home share so he could modify, delete or add files on this share. in samba we defined a global homes share that is mapped on logon. so how can we give user1 the needed rights? here is the definition of the homes share in smb.conf: [homes]

i'm not sure how to create different logon scripts for different users. right now i have one logon script called 'logon.bat' that maps all users to a server share and syncs the time with the server. i need to be able to map different users to different server shares. not all users should be mapped to all server shares. these should be automatic mappings. for example: user1 should

Well, I'm having some problems migrating users. I work on an university, and all teachers / students / users only have a Webmail accout. What I want to do is migrate those users to a LDAP server, and make Windows XP authenticate on a Samba Domain Controller. So far, I've managed to make the PDC and LDAP base, but... how can I migrate users from a passwd/shadow account to a samba

Hi Guys, Advise, I have 200 users, they all have access to 20 shares in different combinations. They all have their own netlogon scripts... its a management nightmare, is there a way to create a universal netlogon script that I can include all the shares to mount and it will silently fail on the ones it cant? Perhaps there is a smarter way to implement this idea, lynching is welcome, so is

Hello While searching the archives and googling for : -login script to map drives according to group membership I saw lots of complicated solutions (on-the-fly scripts, group directories) etc. but the following works very well for me: I downloade dthe ifmember.exe from the microsoft website, and stuck it in the netlogon directory (not the scripts directory)

Hi, I have configured a samba PDC with a logon script. The logon script includes dos commands to map a drive letter for different shares. One share has user home directory, one has common folder for all the users and other share is group share. For assigning a drive letter to group share I have used the command "net use g: \\%L\group\%G" but group share drive is not mounting for any of

Hello everybody, we were running into trouble after upgrading our samba PDC to a new hardware (and a new debian release). Before the upgrade we used 3.0.22 on a debian sarge machine without problems. Moving the installation to a new machine with debian etch (amd64, samba 3.0.24-6etch4) worked good at the first look. A closer look shows the following problems: - a domain member server (samba

Hey All, I’m attempting to gather stats on usage of the “metal”, by which I mean the physical host’s hardware. I would like to know the CPU, IO, and network stats for the hardware. Normally I would get these from /proc/stat, /proc/diskstat, and ifconfig respectively. However, because of the segregation of VMs and Dom0’s special relationship as a paravirtualized I don’t know if I can trust this

Hi, We're setting up a PDC, and would like to have a login script to deliver the mapped drives to users in particular groups, and connect to printers. The printer drivers come from the [print$], share. Does anyone have any good resources for this? What's the easiest and simplest thing to get going --vbscript or batch files? Thanks, chris

I have been using PXELINUX, with "LOCALBOOT 0" when wanting to boot from disk, for many years. Now on new Dell Optiplex 990 machines, PXE boot with "LOCALBOOT 0" hangs after message Booting from local disk... without the expected "Exiting PXE" message. I tried "LOCALBOOT -1" and some other values also, none seemed to work. I tested SYSLINUX 4.04.

I simply wonder if I can have several different logon script bat files for MS Win users that validates through my Samba PDC? Let's say that group "users" should have logon batch users.bat and the members of the group "sales" should have both users.bat and sales.bat executed at logon? Or can I in some way use ONE script with parameters that knows about what groups the user

I planned using ifmember.exe from Windows 2000 resource kit to map the right drive-mappings to the right shares with logon-scripts. Unfortunately it seems as ifmember simply doesnt report the right groups for the users. Even tho "id user1" shows the right groups; "uid=2082(user1) gid=1002(Group1)roups=1002(Group1),545(Users),1000(Group0)", User is a member of group

Hi, When Samba is running as a PDC and a workstation is joined to the Domain, should the user logged into the workstation be able to see all the groups they are a member of using `ifmember /list`? Is the below output as expected? I'm I correct thinking that as all my groups originate in the Unix world, I don't need winbind to allow the Workstations to see them? For what

I have users that belong to several groups. I want a logon script to be run for each of the groups to which a user belongs. For example, when I logon, I want admin.bat, users.bat, and someothergroup.bat to run. On Novell I used to use 'if Member of groupName...', but I don't know how to do this in Samba.. Thanks, Dean

I have created a DLL not so long ago using C code. My code used the IntegerFromString() function that used to be exported in the Rinternals.h header file (and thus easily accessible). Recently I upgraded to R 2.5.0 and my DLL stopped working. I see that the IntegerFromString() function is not exported in any of the header files in the RHOME\include directory. Is it possible for me to use it

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:
