similar to: Copying local profiles to domain profiles...

I have my system properly running as a PDC now, but I'm having trouble getting one of the machines here to join the domain. This system is a Buffalo Terastation Pro. For this system I have to create the machine trust account manually. The domain access fails as follows: [2007/03/06 17:51:44, 2] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_open_connection(788) smbldap_open_connection: connection opened

Now I'm trying to make it so the Samba accounts can be used for user logins as well. Unfortunately I'm having a bit of trouble with winbind. Whenever I try to do a "getent passwd eknuds", it find the entry in the ldap sam, but the winbind log for my domain comes up with this and the getent displays nothing: [2007/03/07 15:48:46, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(541)

Ok, I got the W2K3 resource kit tool to move my local profile to my domain profile (moveuser.exe). Didn't really work that cleanly. Even though I used the /k (keep the local account), it didn't really. It seemed to change the permissions on MOST of the files. It didn't really move the files either. It's just pointed my profile (or parts of it) to the existing folder. Can't

I'm currently working on a streaming radio server that will be streaming randomized archive shows 90% of the time and then live shows 10% of the time. The solution I came up with was to have /main the archive mountpoint and have a /live for the live shows. What we want to do is use the functionality of icecast's moveusers.xsl to move them to the live at the specified time and have

Hello, I have a Debian Stable (Sarge) with a samba to share file with windows client. All is working fine but 2 files generates errors when i try to copy it. The transfer begins, but stops in the middle of the file, and freeze. The error message is (French translation): <Unable to copy file_name.psd : Network name is no more available > I do not understand why I cannot copy those

Four years ago, I migrated our network from Windows NT based servers to Linux, Samba+LDAP based setups. This setup has worked fine. Last year, we replaced our Exchange 5.5 server - the last "real" Windows server - with Scalix. This last decision has come back to bite me. Several new "thingys" that the boss wants, among other things, are forcing me to implement Exchange

Following TOSHARG and "Samba 3 by examples" I implemented Folder redirection plus some security restrictions by building a custom NTUSER.DAT which is the default profile of my users. The problem is that each user has read/write access to its profile share therefore he can replace its NTUSER.DAT. This is why I chose mandatory profiles. Is there another solution? The problem with

Hi all I have a CentOS 4.4 Kernel 2.6.9-11.EL Samba (smbd -V) 3.0.10-1.4E.9 I've been using this server as a small file server recently i needed to do a backup (ntbackup to file) and the backup fails randomly, the largest backup file i managed was about 3GBytes I tried copying large files and randomly the connection is lost I tried with a ping at the same time and the replies don't

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>

Hi, We are using Samba 3.0.22 on FreeBSD 5.5 PDC with ldap backend and roaming profiles. We meet some difficulties when users logout from some Windows 2000 SP4 clients, and storing their profiles back to the Samba server. The file NTUSER.DAT seems to be uploaded and stored in lowercase, as ntuser.dat. Then, when users try to reopen a win session, they get a corrupted new profile. This new

Hi there. [I just asked this over the irc channel, but since I got no reply, I decided to cross-post here. Please forgive me if that is incorrect] I'm trying to migrate an Active Directory domain (that is being used only for authentication) to a samba3 domain. The network is small enough to rejoin the clients one by one and recreate the user accounts if necessary. However, the new user

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 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

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
