Hi, I use winbindd and to use it I write my Active Directory Domain Controller in the "password server" directive in smb.conf. Since I have not one but two servers (for failover situations), can I write another password server?

OK before i start, this was something i was just testing while everyone was in training this afternoon. I have never had to deal with subnets before as we only have a few users, but decided to do a little bit of messing around to gain some experience. Basically we have one server (mandriva 2006) running samba, it has two 4 port ethernet cards in it but only utilitising one port from each card.

Hello, i use Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) with Samba Version 3.0.10-1.4E. Samba are running as PDC. If i save a 160 KB Excel file (Excel 2000 and XP) on a Windows 2000 Client, then samba hangs. With a XP Client running all normally. i make several tunning options (socket options, write raw,...) but no change. any idea? thx chris

I feel I should know the answer to this, but I wanted to verify. I have a bunch of Windows PC's running Win 2K Pro, on three subnetworks. Two of the subnets are served by Unix (FreeBSD) boxes running NATD, but all are joined to a domain being run on a Win 2K Pro server in another building on the campus. So far I haven't joined the two Unix boxes to the domain. I'd like to

Hi there, I use FC5. I discovered, for an exemple, if you have a user group with 3 members (Alan, Baker, Clive), before 3.0.23c this line at smb.conf worked fine: valid users = @user But with 3.0.23c update it doesn't work anymore. You have to replace the line like this: valid users = Alan, Baker, Clive I mean, replace the "@groupname" with the complete userlist of the

Running samba-3.0.23c on Genoo linux Is it possible with smbusers to allow a windows user to have root privleges on a linux share? A stock install of samba on Gentoo ends up with an /etc/samba/smbusers file that contains this mapping: root = administrator admin It appears then that other windows users could as well be mapped to root like: root = administrator admin harry and since I am the

I'm working for a higher education institution, and we have Novell Netware for our file sharing services. We are looking at what migration paths are available. I know samba works, we use it on a number of Solaris and Linux boxes and have it authenticate against our Windows ADS. Manually editing samba confiiguration files for up to a hundred users is OK. The challenge is how do you manage a

We had to power down all servers today for electrical maintenance in the building and for some reason I began having access problems related to the valid users lists when power was restored. The dialog from the 'Samba-3.0.23 broke my network' thread seemed as if it might be related even though I had not performed any software upgrade so I tried adding the group mappings as discussed in

Hi, We have a Windows Domain and a few Linux boxes on which we have installed Samba and set them up so people can log in using their windows domain logins using winbind etc. All is working fine EXCPECT for the group memberships. I have a windows user who is a member of the "Domain Admins" group and I want them to have root privilegdes on the UNIX box. I added a group mapping using

I just got Samba + LDAP up and running as a PDC. If I list the users in the LDAP directory with pdbedit -L I see: root:0:test nobody:99:nobody aster$:1001:Computer toast$:1002:TOAST$ fordprefect:1003:Test Account Shouldn't there be an Administrator account and no root? I don't want my Linux root account even remotely confused or associated with a Samba/LDAP

Hi to all, I know that a few posts treat this subject, but I can't found the good answer to my problem. I actually have a Samba domain based on a smbpasswd backend. I must migrate to an AD 2003 and all is working correctly if I don't select the SID history migration. If I select this 'SID history migration' option, I received a message 'Could not verify Auditing

Hello, I have set up a Samba-Server (samba-3.0.23a-0.1.34.x86_64.rpm and after that samba-3.0.23c-0.1.36.x86_64.rpm) as PDC and tdbsam-passdb backend. I can add XP-Computers and Users to the Domain, but the Domain-Users has problems with Access-Rights on the Win-XP-Systems. The Reason is (i think so) that samba has not generated the typical Groups: Result from 'net groupmap list' =>

Hello, I changed all of the NT user account names to lowercase, however I am unable to change the group accounts to lowercase. The Samba server is running on Suse 10.0. Will the uppercase group names cause any problems during or after the migration to Samba? Thanks in advance. James

We have samba 2.2.12 running on Solaris 9. Our PDC and BDC are windows 2000 servers running AD. Our windows admin is ready to promote a new windows 2003 R2 server to a DC. When she started DCPromo she received a warning message about older versions of windows and non-windows systems including SAMBA might not be able to communicate. Our configuration with SAMBA is not restrictive. Below is a
