Hi, my question no really concerns 100% to Samba but since I use Samba ... I use Samba 3.0.13 as an PDC and have about 40 WinXp Pro Clients. I was wondering what happens if the WinXP Pro Clients won?t have any connection to the Samba Server anymore. Maybye due an error in the network or the PDC died for some reason. Is there any way to quickly change the clients profile to a local profile? I

I have Samba and about 40 WinXP Clientes running. Now I?m trying to find a way to deploy software (for example updates of E-Mail Client, Windows Patches) to my Clients. I was playing around with AutoIt and some "switch-user-tools" for windows, which really works but also is kind of complicated and time consuming. In my environment, every user got his own Logonscript on the Linuxserver

Hi, I want to transfer all of my users from an older version of samba to a new one here. The old version is 3.0.28 and the file with user passwords is /etc/samba/smbpasswd and the new version is 3.6.5 and there does not seem to be that file anymore. I think the user info is now in /var/lib/samba/private/passdb.tdb /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb My question is how to transport my users to

I am very new to Ubuntu/Linux/Samb and have very simple goals: Set up an Ubuntu Server as a Domain Controller to provide single signon for students using study center PC's. All of the PC's are Windows Vista Business. I have successfully added a PC to the domain. I have successfully created a network user and logged on to the PC. However, the Samba log is throwing errors and I have a

I have a fairly old Samba server, 3.0.25, on CentOS 4.8. I'd like to update it to something more modern, so I grabbed the "Enterprise Samba" 3.5 RPMs for RHEL, and went to work on a test machine. After upgrading via "rpm -U ./*.rpm", starting nmbd and smbd, I can no longer log in to the domain, I get: netlogon_creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from client

Hello samba dancers, I'm Friedrich Strohmaier and new to this mailing list. More important: I'm (very) new to PDCing Computers in a network, and I ran in big troubles doing so. Try to tell a long story in short: I'm a fairly experienced administrator for linux systems, and was orderd to move a serverinstallation (SuSE7.0, Samba2.2.x) to a new machine. The old machine did stop

Hi! I want to detect brute-force password hacking attacks - thus if there are too many failed login attempts for a SIP account I want to "lock" this account. Does somebody have any ideas how this could be implemented? thanks klaus

Hi all, after upgrading a FC3 box to FC4 which comes with Samba 3.0.23a rpm's, I have the really strange effect that /only/ "admin users" can print to printers shared by the Samba server. Even a double click on the printer in Win gives an "access denied". The access to "normal" shares (homes etc.) still works fine. Any idea what went wrong? How could I debug

I'm trying to set up a new server to replace my previous domain controller/file&print server on my home network. My old server was running Debian/Etch on a 32bit sempron system with two HDs. The new one is running an old 64bit single-core processor and 3 HDs configured into multiple RAID 1 and 5 arrays (/boot as RAID 1 and /, /home, swap and a /backup directory as RAID 5). The new server

I'm having trouble wading through the various documents that only partially apply to my situation. I have an exsting LDAP instance providing NSS login data to my small group of linux machines. I want to also now provide domain logins against those user accounts. So far I have determined that I need to 1. add the samba schema to the directory 2. set the attribute access appropriately 3. add

Hi there I'd like to change my setup to log the _actual_ IMAP user's login, rather than the UNIX username. My system uses a virtual uid setup with qmail, where the mailboxes are owned by the 'vmail' user and authentication is via checkpassword using user%domain (ie email, just with % instead of @). So dovecot is recording _all_ logins as: imap-login: Login:

Hi Newsgroup, I use SAMBA as PDC with MS Terminal Server 2K3. I dont use LDAP. For backing up the domain accounts, I secure /etc/samba on daily base. Yesterday I made a test: I set up a new machine with Samba and copied my backup /etc/samba (1 day old) to the new machine - Samba started just fine. But now, most of the users could not login to the Terminal Server (but some were able to)! The

Hi All. Greetings from South Africa. I have a Samba LDAP server (v 3.022) running on Ubuntu 6.10 Its serving about 200 users, with profiles, and domain logons.

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you could help me out. I am not a Samba user although we have several instances of Samba running in our organization. We are running into a problem with Samba machines locking out user accounts in our Windows 2000 domain. I have found a little information about this but nothing in depth. The Samba servers are configured to use security=server and are using our
