Hi everybody! I have a problem wich has pusseled me for sometime time. I have put samba on an internal subnet wich is the same as the windowsclients. Everything works great as long as internet is up and running but if internet goes down then the windowsclients can't find the sambaserver or just simly times out when trying to log in. On one installation I have a netgear router wich handels

I'm setting up a linux mashine with samba for filesharing to windowsclients. I use samba 3 and Linux rh9 and swat. We are just a small group of trusted people. I need to create a folder with rights for any windowsuser in the workgroup to: -connect to and add subfolders and files. -read all the subfolders and files. -change in subfolders and files. Basicly we will store the economysystem,

Hello, when I store a file biger than 2GB to a samba server version 2.2.5 everythink works fine. But when I do that with a server version 2.2.6 or 2.2.7 the saving fails on the 2GB limit. The problem can be seen with windowsclients or with smbclient (any version > 2.2.5). I did some debuging and find that the lseek64 fails. But I didn't find the reason. Regards Klaus Ethgen

Hi, I have been trying to use samba for a while as a way to have an identical desktop/startmenu/profile/favourites/etc on multiple PCs. Samba is setup as the PDC and I can join the domain and login. The problems started firstly when I wanted to have some sort of caching and also logon concurrently to different pcs with the same user. The main problem being that whichever computer I log off

Hi, I am running into a problem that seems to occur to a lot of people, but I haven't yet worked out what the solution is. I have Samba version 3.0.3 installed in a Linux box (let's call it linuxserver) and I want it to run a Windows domain so that I can manage machines and users. I have a Windows box (call it windowsclient, running Windows 2003 Server) that I'd like to join to the

I got a NT PDC and an Samba server (ver. 2.2.3a) that participates in the domain 'NT_DOMAIN'. The Samba server provide file and print sharing to my private network, but it authenticates user indirectly via the 'NT_1' PDC. All the PC clients (Win98) were configured to logon to "workgroup" instead of domain.This has been always fine until some guies brought in XP Home

I am with problems to logon WindowsXP SP2 in the samba. I have the fofollowing packages installed in machine. (Fedora Core 3 kernel 2.6.10-1.741) system-config-samba-1.2.26-0.fc3.1 samba-common-3.0.10-1.fc3 samba-3.0.10-1.fc3 samba-swat-3.0.10-1.fc3 samba-client-3.0.10-1.fc3 The samba shares files with Windows machine normally,using ldap. I follow the steps to logon in the domain the windows

I'm trying to use my samba as domain controller and logon-server for my WinXP-client. I can see all the shares, and get access to them using user/password, but when trying to join the domain, it fails with "The specified user does not exist", even though it does. The server-log says "smbd/server.c:exit_server(458)". Can anyone help? ---------------------- Martin Burheim

Dear Colleagues, I successfully installed Samba-3.0.14a-Debian for a set of Windows 98 workstations for ~900 users in a grammar school in Hungary. I am using nss-mysql-1.0 for authentication and Samba also uses it perfectly. Unfortunately, I have no success in the same network under Windows XP. If I try to use standard Unix authentication via /etc/{passwd,shadow,group}, then I also have correct

If I set winbind offline logon = yes in my smb.conf file and I have my Linux box authenticating directly against an AD controller, where, and how, does samba store the user's credentials? And are the credentials encrypted? If yes, use what scheme? I could read more on this, too, but for how long are they cached? Thanks. Scott

Hello, I'd like to have more information about the winbind offline logon. Could I for example use pam_winbind on a linux system (domain member) for ssh, this works fine (the PDC is samba also). What I understood is that if I stop my PDC, I should still be able to connect with ssh as it uses pam_winbind. But that doesn't work :( thx fred

We have our linux servers setup to authenticate against Windows AD using idmap config DOMAIN: backend = RID When a domain user logins to the system, all works fine, if its their first time loggin in then their home directory is created, and by using RID backend, all UIDs are consistent across all Linux servers. If we stop winbind, processes running under the username no longer show username, but

Hi, Is anybody successfully using offline logon with samba 3.5.6? I've set everything up as per the documentation but even if I manually set winbind offline using "smbcontrol winbindd offline" I cannot logon if I disconnect the machine from the network. To enable offline logon I added the following settings: /etc/samba/smb.conf winbind offline logon = yes winbind reconnect

Hi yesterday I configured my laptop to login via AD usernames/passwords. This was working finally with using the sadms. Now I want to enable login when the user is not connected to the network. I found that you need to enable "winbind offline logon = yes" in the smb.conf. But actually this is not working. I'm using ubuntu 11.10 and whenever I logon via the desktop i get

Hi Piviul, Unfortunately, I didn't know about the workaround before I switched over to sssd and now that I have that setup and working well in a production environment, I'd rather not mess with it. That being said, if I get a little free time, I will try the workaround in a VM and let you know if it does the trick. Mike E. On Thu, Feb 14, 2019 at 3:32 PM Piviul via samba <samba at
