What is the difference between %u and %U? The documentation says they both return the value of the connected username, but will they return different values?

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

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'm having the following problem: On a share I have a user with read-only access to word files. Another user has read-write access to these files. When the user with read-only access opens a word file and then the user with read-write access to these files opens the file, the read-write user has only read-only access. If the read-write user opens the word file first, then he has

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

Hello! I have a query regarding the use of "encrypt passwords = yes" and is wondering if anyone can help me with it. If I recall correctly, when using "encrypt passwords = no" , Samba will lookup the username/password via the UNIX /etc/passwd file or equivalent. And as the password can have mixed-case passwords, the "password level = x" parameter is used to

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

Hi everybody, I need to setup a couple of new servers with RAID 1 & another with RAID 5, witch card will have built in support (no need for drivers). It can be for ATA or SATA drives (any preference on ATA or SATA ?). I'm looking for a PCI card , or a motherboard with built in card. I been looking at the : 1.

Hi list, Can someone please clarify the difference between variables %S %U %u in smb.conf? It is not clearly defined in man smb.conf page (at least for me) %U - session username (the username that the client wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got). %S - the name of the current service, if any. %u - username of the current service, if any. That is "session username",

I am a new Samba user so forgive my ignorance. I am using Samba version 2.0.6 on HP UX 11 and I need to use the "security mask" parameter to prevent even the owner of a file from changing the read only attribute (by right clicking on the file from a Windows NT 4.0 desktop) if the file is read only (Unix permissions: 0440). This is what I have in the "smb.conf" file: [global]

Hi, I am having some difficulties getting the LLVM JIT to resolve extern "C" functions which I have defined in source file and invoking them via EE::runFunction() after generating a Function prototype for it. Is this possible or do I need to generate a .so for my functions are link against it? Thanks in advanced, Carter. Sorry for the double post but apparently I mistakenly tagged

This is actually replying to an email I found in the list archives from 4 years ago, but I had this same problem and could not find an answer to it. The 'strict allocate = yes' did nothing for me. I could create or copy new files, but then could not change those files or change existing files. FIX: On a whim, I set "inherit acls = yes" and "inherit permissions =

I realized in looking at my smb.conf, I'm not using these in a consistent manner, and .... well I just don't understand what the differences are between them. Sure I can read the smb.conf page: %U session username (the username that the client wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got). vs. %u username of the current service, if any. ---

Well, I managed to get Samba 2.2.3 up and running on our Solaris 8 machine. I installed with the winbind option and everything went though just find. I was able to join the NT domain and now I can do a wbinfo -u "and get a domain user list as well as a "wbinfo -g and get a group list. For some reason though, the authentication isn't working. I tried to "wbinfo -a" and

Hullo All I hjave a problem with SaMBa 2.2.1a with HP/UX 11.00. It seems to work fine, but after a couple hours users received a message in Windows (all 95) like that ...

One computer will show the previous versions of files just fine, but every other computer I've installed the Microsoft Shadow Copy Client on will not show any previous versions.

HPUX / AIX / Samba 2.0.6 I'm trying and getting frustrated with configuration of the SMB.CONF file to get the [homes] share to be the only name listed when users browse to these servers.

Can someone please tell me the SMB.CONF [homes] variables that need
