similar to: Problem with LDAP failover config

I made a post a few weeks ago regarding this but was unable to find a solution. This is the situation: + I'm attempting to upgrade from samba 3.0.23a (Fedora core package 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1) to the latest version compiled from Samba source. + When using the latest version (or 3.0.25b), Win clients can authenticate & access shares fine, but attempting to open any kind of MS Office doc (not

I'm trying to understand why my group mapping doesn't work in a consistent fashion. I've studied "Important Samba-3.0.23 Change Notes" & chapter 13 of TOSHARG but am still struggling. I'm on 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1 (Fedora Core 4) as a PDC, tdbsam backend. 'net groupmap list' gives this: Domain Power Users (S-1-5-21-1365060548-1276164359-2333037906-31037) ->

I'm trying to join an XP SP2 PC called testpc to a test environment. Its network settings are statically set. IP address is 10.8.3.209. I have a PDC called gomer.mdah.state.ms.us w/ samba 3.0.26a and IP address is 10.8.3.37. On test PC I right click on my computer, properties, computer name, change from workgroup WORKGROUP to domain ADAMSTEST. But I get the error: Note: This information

I've spent the last several days trying to get Samba to bind to our OpenDirectory server for user authentication with no success. Whenever I try start Samba, it complains that the connection to the LDAP server failed with invalid credentials. I am authenticating other services against the LDAP server through NSS, so I am a bit at a loss as to why Samba won't run. I'm also a bit at a

Hi I'm trying to upgrade from Samba 3.0.23c on FC4 to 3.0.25b from Samba sources. Everything appears to function correctly until an MS word document is opened from a share - the file opens but the smbd process in question rockets to 99%+ CPU, stays there & needs kill -9'ing to stop it. This happens reliably. I have an appropriate strace & a level 7 log but can't see anything

Hi, I've just upgraded an organisation from 3.0.23a to 3.0.25b on CentOS. Everything went fine excpet they're having an issue with Excel files going RO which perhaps is related to acls. $ ls foo.xls -r--rwxr--+ 1 mr.bogus staff 101376 Apr 8 12:59 08-04-04 foo.xls and getfacl gives: # owner: mr.bogus # group: staff user::r-- user:mr.test:rw- group::rw- mask::rwx other::r-- This is

Hi all, I have an odd situation on my hands: * Two CentOS 5.2 boxes both joined to an AD domain. * Same samba version (3.0.28-1.el5_2.1) smb.conf, only the netbios names differ * Can enumerate users and groups using winbind -{u,g} on both. * nss doesn't enumerate users & groups on one (same lib versions, same conf file). //bentis@testukmcsstor1//:~$ rpm -qa | grep nss-

I am having problems getting Pont and Print to work with samba-3.0.23d, cups and ldap. I used an XP box to install the windows drivers on the samba server by adding the drivers in the "Printers and Faxes" section (using the server properties tab) for the samba server. This part worked fine but when I want to associate the driver to the printer I get an access denied in windows and in

Hi, I recently installed samba (3.0.28) on a linux box as a PDC. The networks has about 20 windows xp professional and a few Linux (all Fedora 8). Basically the server works OK but I have run into a few problems: Initially windows roaming profile was not configured. At that time, sometimes when a user tries to log on a windows machines, it would say "server not found" and the user

Hello, whenever I try to copy a new file from windowsXP (2K also) to a samba share which is NFS mounted on the samba server, I get an error on the client: "impossible to copy file.txt: the process cannot access the file because an other process has locked a part of it" (my english translation of the french message I have !) It worked fine before (3weeks ago) and I think that problem

I have upgraded both my PDC and BDC to samba-3.4.5 and restarted samba. Then I applied the registry changes to windows 7 aslisted in the wiki. Anyways I joind the domain without problems but when I go to login I get a trust relationship error. In my eventlog I see the following: The session setup to the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Domain Controller \\VS_LDAP1 for the domain RADIMG failed because

Hi, I have OpenLDAP working here generally without problems for a variety of applications including the management of Samba. Functioning user accounts can be created via 'smbldap-useradd' with the proper samba attributes being added in LDAP, however... Something odd is happening when I (or samba) tries to create a machine account with 'smbldap-useradd -w test1$' - an entry is

Hi all, This is my first experience with network file sharing on Linux so I'm looking for debugging advice. Server and client are both running FC5. I've set up my home directory as a share on the server using system-config-samba, everything seems fine. On the client side, as root: # smbclient -L server.domain Password: Domain=[DOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1]

Hi, I am trying to create a Samba share on /media/winshare with the owner as amandabackup instead of root. But as soon as I mount the Samba share on to the mount point, the permissions for the owner get reverted back to root instead of amandabackup.

I was trying to work through a PDC problem that I was having with 3.0.23a noted in bug 3964. I didn't know how to apply the offered patch and my distro, FC4, has not offered an update yet to 3.0.23b so I thought that I would revert to a previous version that is not affected by this bug. I forced an install of 3.0.23 samba, common, and client and now rpm reports that I have two versions of

On my workstation I do: mount -t cifs "//roark/awilliam" /mnt/roark-awilliam/ -o username=awilliam,password=xxxxxx and when I cd to /mnt/roark-awilliam, ls works, but if I cat a file I get the
