Hi All, I have the following setup. Samba/LDAP PDC, Samba BDC, Samba member server, Win2K member server, 300 Win XP Client PCs. I can access the shares on the PDC from all Win XP clients. I can access the shares on the Win2K member server from all XP clients, I can't however access any of the shares on the Samba BDC or Samba member server from the XP clients. LDAP is working fine and

Hi all, I have a Centos 6 box running samba-3.6.9 and I have a problem with files turning to 0 bytes after being edited and saved. One of the users reported that he changed the name of two files and both ended up sized 0 bytes and opening them revealed them to be empty. Has anyone had a similar problem? I've been looking for 3 days and there's obvious pattern to the events

Hi List, I've just updated from Samba 3.0.33 to 3.5.6 on my Centos 5.5 PDC and am having problems accessing home directories. To allow a backout option I set up a new server, put 3.0.33 on it, joined it to the domain and rsynced the home directories over with the flags necessary to maintain the permissions and user/group ownership. This worked and after completion I upgraded the new

Hi all, I'm trying to add printers with cupsaddsmb on Samba 3.0.20 (Mandrake Linux) with an LDAP backend. I've followed the howto on the samba page and have the error: result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME generated when I run it. So far I've Googled for the solution but nothing listed has helped. The full set of errors are as follows: Cupsaddsmb returns:

Hi All, I have Samba 3.0.22-1ubuntu4 running on Ubuntu 6.01 (eft) and am trying to add printers using cupsaddsmb. On running it I get the following: root@pykota:/home/printeradmin# cupsaddsmb -U root -a -v Password for root required to access /var/run/cups/cups.sock via SAMBA: Running command: smbclient ///var/run/cups/cups.sock/print$ -N -A /var/spool/cups/tmp/454b654e20cfa -c 'mkdir

Hi all, Just a quick question about login scripts for a large number of users who change rooms a lot. I have several rooms each with a printer, and nearly a thousand users divided into two main groups - pupils and teachers who change rooms on a routine basis. Is it possible to set up multiple login scripts that would be executed in sequence i.e. run by user is %u, and machine is %m is it

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC running on OpenSuSe 10 with LDAP as the backend and am running Mandriva 2006 as a member server with a few shares for users. The PDC seems OK and I've added the member using the instructions in the Samba example documents and I'm at the following point: OpenLDAP is running on the PDC itself. I can login to Linux as any LDAP user account suggesting that NSS

Hi all, I had the following line in my smb.conf with which to log access to the home share when users logged in: preexec = /bin/echo \"%u logged in to %m at %T\" >> /var/log/samba/logons.log Since updating to LDAP however, it's stopped working and I suspect that smbldap cant handle the % substitutions for user, machine and time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If

Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

Hi Guys Thanks a lot this has helped me greatly.

Hi all, I'm currently migrating from tdbsam to LDAP and want to restructure my setup at the same time. I can get the SIDs for the user and machine accounts using pdbedit -Lv | grep SID but I have 800 users so I don't want to reset their passwords. So far, I've dumped the contents of the tdbsam database into an smbpasswd backup file and am running john-the-ripper across it.

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. Yesterday, I tried to add a new machine to the network and received the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: The password of this user has expired Not a problem I thought, and then ran smbldap-usermod -e "2010-12-30 00:00:00" root to extend the password date. If I now try to connect a

Hi All, I have a tdbsam backend on Samba PDC and am trying to set a user up as a domain admin. I read that instead of the old admin users line in smb.conf you now use net groupmap to map unix groups to NT groups. I have a user called toni in unix group admins and have run: net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins running: net groupmap list gives: Domain

Hi All, I'm trying to run a school CAD app called Prodesktop in wine 0.9.46 and have a problem with the detection of colour depth. X is set to run at 1024x768 which is fine as far as the app goes and the colour depth is set to 24 bit. When the app runs, it complains that it requires 16 bit colour, or greater and then shuts down. Is this a problem anyone else has run into possibly with a

Hi All, I am hoping to set up machine based logins on our Samba server (3.0.21c/RedHat EL4). I have the following lines in the global section to my smb.conf: [global] add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb add

Hi all, I have a problem that started last week with winbind on a member server. The network consists of the following: Openldap/Bind/DHCP Server (No Samba) PDC - CentOS Linux - Samba 3-3.5.6-43.el5 (sernet package) BDC - CentOS Linux - Samba 3-3.0.31-36 Proxy Server (with NTLM Auth) - Mandriva Linux - Samba 3.5.3-3.1mdv2010.1 All of these work fine but the proxy needs replacing so I've

Hi all, I am looking at setting up a multi-site office and need to put a plan forward. The site consists of one head office and several branch office and my plan so far is this: In head office, one Samba PDC. Each branch office will have a local BDC that also stores files local to the branch, hopefully cutting down the day to day traffic across the VPN. The VPN I plan to use is OpenVPN in

Hi All, I'm setting up a Samba AD domain which works perfectly with the WIn 7 server tools and so far everything is going fine. What has me stumped is setting up an LDAP proxy in our DMZ against which I can authenticate our email and web services. I've got port 389 open on my main Samba 4 DC and if I use the domain administrator account to bind the proxy, everything works. In order

Hi All, I have a problem with a growing network. I inherited the network at about 200 machines and it's now reached 300 at which point the cracks are starting to show. I have no budget to speak of but need to up the bandwitdh so I'm looking at sticking an extra Gigabit NIC into my PDC and splitting the network into two subnets. I have two kinds of data, static and dynamic. Static files

To anyone out there who's having problems joining their Samba/LDAP domain with XP here's a solution. The main symptom is that the XP join domain gui returns a "user cannot be found" error. The setup that I experienced this on was configured and managed using the smbldap-tools package. Usual disclaimer applies if it fails to work, you are responsible for backing up your
