How does a Window's user change thier password on a Unix based Samba server. I know they can login to the unix box and use smbpasswd(8). But these users are MS Windows users and I hate to have to explain what a command prompt looks like. Unfortunately I don't know enough Windows. Is there such a client feature built into the Windows, how do they do it against a PDC? If no solution is

All, I have AAH 1.0 installed using Digium TDM04B and Grandstream GXP2000 phones. All seems well other than the phones have to be reset up to 5 times per day. It is like they lose thier ip connection or maybe thier SIP connection. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have the phones set for static IP addresses and that doesnt seem to help either. Any help would be greatly

Hi everyone! I have two strange problems I cannot solve with my PDC SAMBA: 1) >From every XP Pro PC I can access but sometimes I have to try 5 or 6 times to enter my domain.

Hi, I have been reading the mailing list archives and google results but havent been able to find quite the information i am looking for. Perhaps someone on the list can give me a hand.

We have "upgraded" from NT Terminal Server to Wk2. In Windows NT we set the registry MulitpleUsersOnConnection = false. What is thier in equivilance for Windows 2000? Our Samba is running out of free connections per Terminal Server. Currently that number is 128. We have 5 terminal servers and each server spawns a single smbd process with 128 connections. Do I have to increase the

There was another tech coordinator that asked the following on our list: > Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to give students read/write permissions to a certain drive letter without giving them the ability to delete other (or thier own) files. Currently I have chmod 1770 permissions (read write, but only owner can delete) and one owner (the teacher) for all the files, but

Hey guys, Im interested in hearing about servers (and thier hardware specs) that successfully run both asterisk and samba for an office of maybe about 12 extensions (SIP) and about 12 workstations. Im hopeing to not only replace a traditional PBXs with Asterisk/Linux but to provide a solution to needs such as a file serving, email serving, etc. Ive read the Success stories form voip-info.org but

Hi, Sory to bother you with my new-user questions. i've got one redhat 9 box, acting as email server using sendmail. it use local /etc/passwd. last week i've just finished setting up a server, centos 4.4 as a replacement mail server for the red hat 9. i mainly refereing the tutorial at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_postfix_courier_mailscanner_clamav_centos. with some

Ok, I'm stumped. Last week domain logons worked. Now when I try to logon, I get a message, "You could not logon because the SJSA domain is not available. I've had this happen before when the trust account between the client and server was out of sync (restored a disk image that had a different trust account password) To fix this, it has been sufficient to quit the domain, reset

2.2.7a It seems that samba-ldap is still to immature for any kind of production environment. The provided Perl scripts simply do not work with the 'add user script' setting or if they do, then there is an an undocumented bug, issue, etc. The scripts work fine from the command line but aparently samba won't execute them properly. Since I cannot expect my users to understand

I have found that when passwords are reset from a windows machine, the default password expiry period is around 40 days. I would like to change this to say 90 days, but have been unable to find a way. I tried the option "password expire time" but testparm doesn't seem to recognise it. There is nothing in the official Samba How-to about this. Has anyone managed to set thier

If I got a lot of users connecting to my server on port 80, will thier requests ever be

I look after an x4500 for a client and wee keep getting drives marked as degraded with just over 20 checksum errors. Most of these errors appear to be driver or hardware related and thier frequency increases during a resilver, which can lead to a death spiral. The increase in errors within a vdev during a resilver (I recently had three drives in an 8 drive raidz vdev "degraded")

Hello, I have a Solaris 10 machine (SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-18 sun4u sparc) installed with Samba Version 3.0.23a. Samba has been compiled from source with PAM modules. The modules 'pam_smbpass.so' and 'pam_winbind.so' reside at: /usr/local/samba/lib/security smb.conf is located at /usr/local/samba/lib/ We are talking about /etc/pam.conf, not /etc/pam.d/ configuration with

Dear list, I personally think this is a non-issue, but I may be incorrect. If it is a non issue I need to find a way to get some communication going on making it evident to the devlopers of a software program. I have strict locking = YES (which is by default set to NO) set and I have been repeatedly told that there is a locking issue within SAMBA. I don't believe this is the case as we are

Odd problem here--I just got a couple of Cisco 7960s from Ebay that are not functioning as expected......

Available options stop at 4 (Status). **# has no effect. The Phones report that thier current firmware version is 3.1 MF.G2.
