similar to: installing Samba as non-root user at work - please help.

Hello I'm a biginner on samba and mailinglists. But I desperate need same help. After updating my samba 2.2.1a to 2.2.2 I can't logon to the domain again. The log.nmdb gives out this information: [2001/11/02 01:22:28, 0] nmbd/asyncdns.c:start_async_dns(150) started asyncdns process 184 [2001/11/02 01:22:28, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(820) bind failed on port 137

Hi! First, let me apologize for the length of this message. I wanted to include as much relevant info as I could and it got a bit lengthy. For reasons that I won't bother to detail here, I ended up volunteering to upgrade the server at my kids school. It's a small private school with an all-volunteer tech support staff (me!). We currently have about 40 computers serving about 150 people.

Dear list, last friday I had a frustrating experience during the update of my samba server. I've been running samba since 1998, now there are 50 users with win2k-boxes attached - the samba server acting as PDC. Becauce of a swap of the old server I finally decided to update to 2.2.8a. What I did (in general): - installed the new server with suse 8.2 prof - Installed the suse-rpms for

I've set up my Samba PDC to act as a WINS server, because I need remote access to it (through a VPN connection). I put "wins support = Yes" into the smb.conf file. As far as I know, WINS doesn't use a unique port number, so enabling the usual NetBIOS ports (137/udp, 138/udp, 139/tcp) on the firewall should be enough to make WINS work. I did this already. I tried to connect to a

I'm having problems getting "Secret is bad" with the command "wbinfo -t". I get good results with "wbinfo -u", "wbinfo -g", and "wbinfo -m". I also have positive results with all the samba tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt. I've tried deleting the computer account and recreating many times on my Windows 2000 Domain Controller (everything is native

Is there any support for having a UNIX share accessible from a Windows XP machine? If so, what else must I tweak? Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

I have a server which we use for backing up files. Noticed there was an upgrade available to 18.04.1. Now I cannot connect to from my win7 machine to the Ubuntu share. Any thoughts on what would have changed??? Tom

Greetings! Tonight is unfortunately the first small bit of time I've had to even try to get Samba configured between my Vista and my Linux FC4. (My mother as well as my extremely limited home time dealing with important things are my main delays.) It's not going well. :-) I have added hosts allow with 192.168.1 and 192.168.2. I have experimented with a few things. I

I'm stumped on getting Samba to work again on our small network. I've got one Windows 95 machine that started to refuse to talk to Samba last week. I *was* running one of the 1.9.18 releases, but when it stopped working, I figured I would delete the old release and do a clean install of 2.0.3. I've done that, and used SWAT to configure the smb.conf file (which can be seen below).

Hi, I have Samba up and running as well as winbind. I have ran some tests to confirm that yes indeed winbind is able to query the Windows NT 4.0 PDC for user/group/password information. However I am having difficulty understanding how to set shares up in samba so that I can apply permissions to them using my Windows user information rather than creating each user on samba with the same password

Hi, I have a very small setup, one XP/clinet and one Vista/client and a Ubuntu/samba server. I like to cleanup my log.smbd but I can't figure out how! I have everything up and running and I can access the share's from the XP client. I googled around and it seems that I should bind some Windows group/user against Unix group/users with something like 'net groupmap add rid=2512

Hello list, I'm running ubuntu server 7.10 amd64 and trying to set up a samba server for a LAN. Samba version is 3.0.26a IIRC (I can't access the machine ATM) I'm stumped with a problem and I believe it's related, somehow, with the 'force user' parameter, so I created this testcase to seek for help... In the example smb.conf I'm trying to create one share accessible

I have a friend that had a samba server go down. They switched to another server and are having problems with people logging into it from Windows 98. If the same user logs in from WinXp then everything works otherwise they get an error. He also said that the smb.conf files were the same on both servers. >From the errors it almost looks like some sort of permission problem, but since it logs

I've got a home network with using win2k pro. Do I need to set Samba up as a pdc for the w2k machines to connect? Currently I've got my w2k machines set up as a workgroup and simply set up Samba as a member of that workgroup. My problem is that I cannot connect to it. I see my samba box in my network neighborhood, however, I cannot browse it. I'm running Samba 2.2.2 that came with

Hi, I'm using samba 3.3.15 as domain member in an w2k8 ad. We're using the w2k3/xp add printer wizard to add a printer to the server. Since the update from 3.2.15 to 3.3.15 the apw fails when clicking on the "finish" button. At the same time a smb panic occurs and fills the smbd log with the lines below.

Hi everyone, Recently upgraded to 3.3.7 on a test server (can do everything on it if you need to test something like patch, configuration options, etc?), and got big problems with printing very similar to http://www.mail-archive.com/samba at lists.samba.org/msg97841.html signaled for version 3.2.6 I'm on CentOS 5.3 recently updated (with sernet packages) and I checked that I have the correct

After updating Samba from 3.0.20 to 3.0.21c NMDB is only bound to my NIC's IP but no longer to 127.0.0.1 though my smb.conf parameters are interfaces = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = yes As a result SWAT does not show the status of NMDB any longer. Any idea which parameters are different to 3.0.20 or is this a bug in 3.0.21c?
