Hello, I have a general administrative question concerning Samba shares. I have a large amount of data that about 25 users have limited access to. I only want these users to have access to a sub-set of this data, but I also only want the users to see that which they have access to. So, for example, suppose that the share looks like thus: /smbshare /smbshare/dir1 /smbshare/dir2

Yes, I know, XP-SP3 is very old. It works for what I need it for. I have some programs that will never be updated for Win 7. Note that XP-SP3 and Fedora 14 work together just fine, so I'm guessing that a newer version of Samba is what is keeping me from logging in from XP. But, I do not know what to put in the smb.conf file to allow XP to mount a share. Here is the output from testparm:

Hi All, can anyone make any sense of the error below, please advise if I need to log this as a bug but I'm not sure how to further diagnose what is happening. This is from my winbindd log file, thanks Andy. [2003/11/07 17:47:59, 1] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(832) winbindd version 3.0.0 started. Copyright The Samba Team 2000-2003 [2003/11/07 17:48:00, 1]

Everytime I add or remove some samba shares, I must restart smb service to take effect. Is there anyway to reconfig it without restart?

Hi All, I'm having a strange pronlem with winbind. For users it seems to be working fine but for groups its not enumerating most of the groups! A getent group produces only 325 lines of domain groups whereas wbinfo -g produces 2839 lines of groups. I'm not seeing any errors logged and all commands are exiting with status 0. Winbind related sections of smb.conf are shown below,

Hi list, If I have multiple Samba member servers in a domain can I store the groupmap data in LDAP? When I try this I get this error # net groupmap add ntgroup=Everyone unixgroup=nobody No rid or sid specified, choosing algorithmic mapping adding entry for group nobody failed! But this works correctly (creates account in LDAP server) smbpasswd -a username password the LDAP config in my

Just a quick question, it may sound a bit stupid but I just want to make sure. I have a Solaris 9 machine running winbind, the backend is an OpenLDAP database running on a RedHat 9 machine. My question is, apart from the 'smbpasswd -w' command and the obvious stuff in smb.conf, do I have to set up the LDAP client on Solaris for Samba to be able to put new mappings into the LDAP database?

I've seen this posting before but I need to get a grasp on this. I am using winbindd for users that don't have a local account on a Linux box. I thought that placing the entries below in the smb.conf would create users in ou=Idmap. Instead the ou=Idmap increments the uidNumber with every user that is added,but the user ID mappings are stored in /usr/local/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb. What

Hi all, anyone able to point out why I'm not able to get samba 3.0.0 to update my LDAP server with any idmap data? I'm using SunOne DS 5.2 LDAP server and the following entries in my smb.conf file, ldap admin dn = "uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot" ldap ssl = off ; ldap suffix = "dc=testlan,dc=bbc,dc=co,dc=uk" ** have tried with this

Hi Michal, Thank you for your suggestion. My apologies that I took sometime to get back on further confirmation. Regrettably, my tshark is still unable to find libvirt payload inside packet capture, though it lists libvirt as a possible filter. # rpm -ql libvirt-wireshark-1.2.9.3-2.fc21.x86_64 /usr/lib64/wireshark/plugins/1.12.5/libvirt.so As I used wireshark 1.12.6 version, I

I am having problems with the configuration of samba 3.0.1 on a Solaris 2.6 box. This box has no previous samba versions installed. When I try to configure samba I get the following error. # cd samba-3.0.1/source #./configure -with-ads 2>&1 |tree config.new.log fails with the following error:- checking for LDAP support... auto checking ldap.h usability... no checking ldap.h

Hi list, I'm trying to compile samba 3.0.1 rc1 with --enable-dmalloc switch because I have been asked to provide more information on a winbindd panic on a Solaris server. However the configure fails with the error shown below, config.status: creating include/config.h Note: The dmalloc debug library will be included. To turn it on use ./configure: command substitution: line 3: syntax error:

When I use mount_smbfs I receive such message: # mount_smbfs -W sbrc -U Kid -E koi8-r:cp1251 -Iradius.sbrc.local //Kid@radius/MUSIC$ /home/anonftp/.2 mount_smbfs: can't get server address `radius.sbrc.local': Resolver Error 0 (no error) mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Network is down Network is up in fact, dns server resolves name, but I receive this message

With Fedora Samba versions 3.5 and 4.5, it does not exist. The 'testparm' most certainly does and I agree with using it. I just recently set up my new Fedora 25 box and used it after

Dear All, I am trying to get SSL working with Samba 3.0. My set up is Samba 3.0 as a USER server in its own Workgroup (will eventually be part of a domain). My platform is Solaris 9 and the ldap service I am using is iPlanet directory server 5.2. I can get users to log in to the server using their ldap account and password but not over SSL. The iPlanet directory has a certificate on it (self

I am running Red Hat 7.2 and using smbmount to mount a PC share from a NT4 SP5 Workstation. I have a folder, in this share, of around 300 files and when I do ls -l I get inconsistencies. Sometimes files are missing, and if I keep repeating the command the files are then appear again. Other times the size information is wrong. No one else is using, or changing, any of the files on the source

Hi, I'm a bit confused over the whole "dn" concept .... various documentation states that I should create new samba-entries with dn: uid=user,ou=<user-org>,dc=<domain> and other states that i should do it with dn: cn=user,ou=<user-org>,dc=<domain> Right now i have a few entries, created both ways... and since i'm not quite home in ldap, I haven't

Hi, I'm having an issue with samba 3.0.1 (and I also tried grabbing source from cvs a day ago). I've searched around, but haven't come up with any working patches to help me. My first issue is an interaction between the principals used by samba and those by openssh. I built openssh with gssapi support. For sshd, I need to install a host/machine principal in the keytab
