Hello. With my installation of Samba I am thinking to use remote client software installation. For this I need to have access to admin shares on clients: such as C$, D$, ADMIN$, etc.... This is where I have a problem. I can't access those shares using Domain Admin credentials and I can't find any info on this anywhere in docs. Perhaps this task is not as common. Would anyone provide

Hi list, Small bug here succesfully setup a samba file server as a domain controller . Thing is I can't see the clients in network neighborhood - only the file server. This seems to also be causing problems for central admin programs, which is a real concern. Can any one shed light on this? Thanks, -- Ismail

I have one Linux RHEL4 box setup as a PDC and several other Linux RHEL4 samba servers and Windows XP boxes joined to the domain. Ever since upgrading the Linux box to Samba 3 (they are currently running samba-3.0.10) I have problems with the Linux samba clients suddenly dropping out of the domain. Operations suddenly start failing with [2006/09/27 16:03:25, 3]

hi i am experiencing some problem with the configuring of samba as a PDC in a Windows network, ive configured samba as PDC, created users, set there password with smbpasswd and mapped unixgroup to nt group as follows: System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3614578222-3141096634 -3044101766-513) -> users Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) ->

Hi everybody, I got a problem here with my Samba ADS member server. It functions as a file server and works for a long time. A few weeks ago our Active Directory domain controller failed due to power outage. We fixed it and now an employee reports that he could not use the samba file server any more. I restarted samba service and did the following testing: 1) getent passwd <thisUser>

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.

Just to get these things out of the way CentOS (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) # yum list installed | grep openssl openssl.i686 0.9.7a-43.14 installed openssl-devel.i586 0.9.7a-43.14 installed # yum list installed | grep samba samba.i386 3.0.10-1.4E.11 installed samba-client.i386

Hi, I want close all session on samba at the night for save user profile. I have try to do this with the net command : Net rap session close client_name but nothing effect Someone have an idea please, Thanks

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?

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

Hello, i use Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) with Samba Version 3.0.10-1.4E. Samba are running as PDC.

With a XP Client running all normally. i make several tunning options (socket options, write raw,...) but no change. any idea? thx chris

Hi, I'm building "cheap" print servers using old Pentium 133 (150, 200 or 233) with 32 (or 64) MB of RAM memory. Small HDs (2.1, 3.5, 4.2) GB and using Debian Sarge (3.1), with kernel 2.6, CUPS and Samba 3.0.10. The print part is ok, works fine and it is just information to the background. Now our IT team decided to put a CD and make the "cheap" print servers became

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

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 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
