similar to: Active Directory for users authentication only?

Hi folks, I'm setting up a new samba box (Redhat ES 4.0, with Rehat samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9) to replace a proprietry OS X version that's been running home directories for our school staff - we've previously used local accounts and groups on the OS X server rather than the AD accounts all our staff have; one of the key goals in moving to a new system was to allow users to logon without

Right, well I've just downloaded the source tarball and compiled it all. Turned of Apple samba from 'server settings' and fired up smbd and nmbd by hand... With different log, lock and password directories to Apple samba, btw... /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a john So far so good. But

Samba 2.2.3a on OS-X 10.2.6 Trying to get a standalone server up and running with user level security. All the users have valid accounts and passwords, but we've enabled password sync and password chat and chat debug for the accounts as we don't do authentication against the active directory. unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat debug = yes passwd chat

Setup: - Samba 3.5.6 (Debian Stable release, amd64); - Testing Windows 7 client behaviour, specifically with regard to users who don't yet have profiles. The Windows docs state that a domain logon for a new user will cause the default network profile to be used if available, if not then a default local profile is used instead. The location for the default network profile is

Running Gentoo linux samba-3.0.23a I've used samba for quite some time but never have had to delve into its inner workings... Its always just worked. Recently I'm finding that when accessing linux shares from a winxp machine, I have read access, but no write. Far as I know the unix to samba user mappings as set correctly (and as they have been for some time) Near as I can tell the

Hi, I sent a mail a few days ago to this list related with GFS+samba problems. Since the, we have installed a sepparated test environment also with two linux servers where we have tested a samba server with an exported share in GFS. The share is read-only and only one server is exporting it. When we try to access from a single windows client it works fine, but when we try to access to the

Hi to everyone, Something quite strange occured to me this weekend as we wanted to switch our network to w2k ads structure with a sambaserver as main fileserver running winbind. The windowsprofiles are supposed to reside on the sambaserver and the client successfully loads the initial profile. The first time the user logs on to his machine, he gets some default .msi-softwarepackages assigned by

I've got a tough to track down problem that seems to be samba related. I've got a directory structure like this: topdir/ lib1/src lib1/include lib2/src lib2/include etc. Each src directory has a makefile in it. VPATH is set to ../include. I'm running cygwin bash and make. In some directories, make can't find files in ../include. In other directories, make finds

Hello, I'm running Samba 3.6.6-1 on my x64 Arch Linux installation. I recently decided to have my samba share support NTFS's Alternate Data Streams by using streams_xattr or streams_depot. With streams_xattr I discovered that if I copy a file having an ADS from a win7 box, on the linux console, I can see the ADS as an xattr attached to the file. However when I copy the file back to my

Hi list, I am trying to track down a printer-related problem. The most important symptom is a smbd process using almost all memory on my machine (up to 800 MB, at the specific case of which I've posted the logs.) At some point the VM will kill the smbd process, freeing the memory. Apart from this, samba keeps on running fine. Investigation of a level 3 debug log of this process has shown

I read a message from the archives that describes nearly our exact problem that has begun to appear after 11i was installed on our server. File access has become slow and unreliable, especially under high loads. As a matter of fact, I had a logon script running a series of echo -- it was executing them at about 1 line every 2 seconds. The way we "solved" the problem was moving the Samba

I've battled this one for a few days now and its costing my sanity so I am hoping that someone here has an answer I am running the samba server 3.0.4 on a linux 2.4.25 server. I can connect to my share point and authenticate fine I can create files or directories in the root of the sharepoint fine I can go into subdirectories and look at all the files... But I cannot create in any

Hi again, I was previously writing for a problem with Arcserve IT and Samba (with linux). The connection drops after 15 minutes. Continuing to understand what's happening, I discovered the following message in the logs: [1999/06/01 14:42:08, 0] smbd/files.c:file_new(85) ERROR! Out of file structures Immediatly I ran into the samba code to try to understand the cause of the problem.

OS : Debian Etch. samba version : 3.0.24 I have a problem with a vendors software that won't install. The install gets stopped with this error :- The file s:\wyongauto\AMWIN\UNWISE.EXE' could not be opened. please check that your disk is not full and that you have access to the destionation directory. Access is Denied. There are no problems reading and writing to the shares. I

Hi team, I've got a problem with a WinXP client being unable to save a document to a Samba share. The server is running 2.2.6pre2 (on FreeBSD 4.6). The XP client hangs for a VERY long time when attempting to save a file (at least the first file saved - the problem seems to diminish for subsequent saves/files). Turning the debug level to 3 produces the following messages (repeated many many

Hi; I've run into a somewhat interesting issue in regards to IIS serving content from a samba share. Occasionly, IIS will return 404 errors for content that does infact exist. >From the samba machine, I captured the following: This is an example of the site http://www.mysite.co.nz/foo not working: [2004/11/04 09:30:14, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(2353)

Hi, I have a strange problem listing a share with, e.g. # ls -al /path/to/share I have a samba-client-3.5.4-68.el6_0.2.x86_64 on a Scientific Linux 6 (as a virtual machine - if it matters) and an samba-3.0.33-0.30.el4 server on a RHEL4. When I try the listed command I get the following in the servers logfile (on log lever = 3): [2011/04/29 16:29:39, 3, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)]

I have an ubuntu 8.10 server that is authenticating against active directory (Win2k3) and acting as a fileserver. I used likewise open to setup the AD authentication. If a user creates a file in a directory that he doesn't own, he can modify the contents of the file, but not delete or rename it. The group permissions should allow the user to do this. If the user owns the directory,

Dear All I have a PCBSD machine with /media shared using samba. Any microsoft clients can successfully connect to /media and browse directories I have created there. When I plug in a usb device, I mount it into /media eg: one labelled "PENDRIVE" becomes /media/PENDRIVE Some clients can successfully read /media/PENDRIVE, others cannot. Although the clients that cannot view the
