Hi, I'm trying to configure my Samba server to support Point-and-install driver installation of a CUPS printer (the printer works with Samba when Point-and-install is not configured, and the driver is installed manually on Windows XP).

Hello, thanks for looking over my ramblings... We have an NT4 PDC with and NT4 BDC on 192.168.132.X, these boxes are very very old and overloaded. I am trying to replace them with a nice shinny new Samba box. My problem is that while I am trying to test it out to make sure it plays nice it keeps winning the elections. I find this weird as I have set the box to domain master = no and turned the

Hello, I've set up Samba 3.0.22 on an Ubuntu box for testing purposes. Below is my smb.conf file. The Samba server, ubuntu, is on the other side of a Linksys WRTP54G router, serving NAT to my Windows XP clients on the inside.

I just did a fresh install of Windows XP Professional x64 on my primary machine, and am reconnecting all of my LAN services. One thing I have on my home network is a dedicated file server, running Ubuntu and Samba, used as a general file server, as well as a backup for when I reformatted my main system. While attempting to restore some of my files, I started noticing some odd errors. After a

I have a problem with a Member Server on Samba 3.0.28a running on Ubuntu Heady. Both systems were recently upgraded using Ubuntu's automated upgrade. It's also possible I broke a working configuration by accident. The shares on the Member server are visible on the XP clients and some users can authenticate properly. At least one user on one XP desktop cannot. The shares are visible

Hi, I am running Samba 3.0.1 on a Debian/Sid machine. I have installed winbind to access the AD of the local network, which I want to use for UNIX logons. wbinfo -u shows all the users of the AD, but "getent passwd" only shows the contents of the file /etc/passwd.

Hello all! We recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.3 to Samba 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 on debian 3.0. Ever since then users are unable to change their own passwords on their W2k machine.

I haven't changed the "passwd chat"

just wanted to post to the list that i just had a very very similar issue to Geoff's but in this case the client OS (using samba as a file server) was Windows Server 2003 x64 R2 SP1 and the samba version was 3.0.24. After much googling and config trial-and-error, i found that upgrading to the recently-released Windows Server 2003 SP2 alleviated my problem. I also corresponded with Geoff

Hello everyone! I'm trying (unsuccessfully until now) configure two Samba servers: - Server A. Acting as PDC in a Windows 2000/XP domain and as profile server. - Server B. Acting as profile server.
