Dear samba users/developpers, I would like to make stats on user desktop login/logout and I ask myself if it's possible to do this on the samba PDC. But it doesn't seems to be so easy. Maybe parsing logs or using smbstatus? Is there anyone who did something like this and who can share he's knowledge ;) Or maybe it's ... impossible to get accurate datas about this, I don't

Hi List, I have a Samba PDC, and i want another file server to be installed , which user will map their home directory without joining,[ means i don't this server will be a another PDC, it'll be personal file server ] here is my configuration [global] workgroup = LK server string = Samba Server Version %v log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log

I'm having issues trying to remount any shares using samba. Super Short version mount -o remount /some_windows_share creates a duplicate mount instead of properly remounting. Full details... I have many shares served off of NT4 boxes, mounted via samba on a linux box (RHEL 4). Since long dormant (>12 hour) shares from one server in particular always have problems for a few seconds when

I've seen more and more occurrences of the following error (other people have different password servers) on the web. I submitted this question before, but it was never resolved. I've even tried changing the underlying file system (from clustered vxfs to ext3) and I still see the error. Error: [2007/10/17 08:29:33, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_chainlock_with_timeout_internal(82)

Dear list, I am facing really a mysterious problem with samba. I am using clarkconnect server where samba-3.0.25b-1.1.cc is installed. I have created some samba users and windows XP user can share their samba files and folders without any problem. But the problem which happened here third time is auto deletion of files and folders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An user ( FROM XP) simply deleted 2

Hi, Yesterday I found big problems concerning my roaming profiles. They seem to work on some computers where they are always used, on some other the did not load properly (i.e. a default profile was loaded instead). After some debugging with userenv.log I found the very strange problem: case sensitivity for ntuser.dat!: [...] IsCentralProfileReachable: Testing <F:\testuser\ntuser.dat>

Hey there, After searching for quite some time I'm finally just going to ask the people who know :) I'm having trouble when listing the files on a samba share that's hosted on a Mac OS X 10.4 server. The client is an Kubuntu Dapper Linux machine. This happens only when using smbmount (smbfs) and not when I use Konqueror with smb:// . The problem is that files with certain characters

I have a samba pdc. I would like to automatically assign at next logon a disk share with a particular letter that is the same for a group of users (such as L:\). How can I see with samba and/or windows tools what are currently the disk labels used by this group of users so that I can choose accordingly? And in general, is there any smb.conf or other config option that lets me set a unique disk

Hi, i upgraded from Debian sarge to etch, so from samba 3.0.14a-3 to 3.0.24 When someone creates/modify a file the user attribut is set to r (instead of rwx) so the next time a user opens the file is's on read only. What can i do so that the file keeps the attribut rwx for the owner ? Another question : the file has the rigthts : -r--rwx--- but although the user is member of the group

I want to configure samba to produce a common area (i.e. /home/shared) as an assigned drive letter to all users. Thus, in addition to users logging into the domain and having an H: drive for their personal account, they will also get an S: drive (for example) for a common area. How do I configure this in smb.conf? Thanks. Scott

Hello everyone, I have an obscure issue that I have been so far unable to find the answer to. I have successfully mounted a windows NTFS file share using samba via the following command: mount -t smbfs -o username=<USERNAME>,workgroup=<WORKGROUP> //winserver/winpath /mnt/win It mounts just fine but performing an ls -al command shows my user (or "root") as the owner of all

Hello everyone, I have two domains, let's call them D1 and D2. D1 is: - heavily modified, cumbersome, Linux RH 7.3 based, - samba 2.2 based, - using the old LDAP samba schema, - implementing Unix services/Windows logon SSO via the means of the LDAP schema with Kerberos added in the picture. D2 is: - stock, clean Linux RHEL4 based, - Samba 3.0.11 based, - using the newer Samba SAM LDAP

Hi, I have a problem with Samba (although it may be my hardware, I'm not sure). I have a Linux i386 Samba server that I use for storing music, pictures etc in a small home network which isn't that busy. When I stream music to my laptop I get periods of silence which coincide with periods of network inactivity. These can last up to 50 seconds and can be seen on both the Linux and PC

Hello list, I use samba-3.0.10 from RHEL4, with an smbldap-tools backend (version 0.9.2a). Everything works fine: domain logons work OK, I can join machines to the domain, "unjoin" them, add users (from the samba server only though, but that's not important), submit drivers for printers as a printer admin, etc. The only thing that does NOT work is adding printers as a non admin

Hello, I'm trying to join a samba server to a w2k domain. Now I have removed all samba and kerberos software from the machine to reset configuration. Then I have executed "net ads testjoin" to see what happened (I have already joined the machine to the domain). It returned the following messages: [2007/07/04 09:14:44, 0] libads/kerberos.c:ads_kinit_password(208)

I have an XP home (falcon) and an XP pro (tatooine) machine, both behind a rh9 box (hoth) acting as firewall. I've been trying to get samba set up on the linux box. I think I have it mostly working except that the XP boxes won't list hoth under "My Network Places - Microsoft Windows Network - MSHOME", and I cannot access hoth by name at all from the XP-pro box (by IP, I can

Dear according this wiki http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Ldapsam_Editposix i have enable EditPosix extension but i receive this error Ignoring unknown parameter "idmap domains" How can i fix it ?

After upgrading my Debian box to Samba 3.0.23, I'm no longer able to connect to it from my Mac OS X 3.9 machine. I can still connect from the linux box TO the mac, but not the other way around. I need to be able to mount the linux volume on the mac. I've had to downgrade to samba 3.0.22 on linux to get it to work. My home network is a simple 2 machine setup with a wired connection. My

I built an embedded box which uses mount.cifs to mount network shares. I've shipped several of these and all are working fine except for one, which gives me permission denied on certain files: root@Mnemosyne:~/mnt/bgrp1/c/Ballance Group Folders/Scully/Client Photos-Scully# cat "Office Pics 002.jpg" > /dev/null cat: Office Pics 002.jpg: Permission denied
