Hi, I'm running the Debian samba 3.0.10-1 package. I have 'log level = 0'. However my logcheck is showing a lot of noise from samba. Are the following messages normal, or do we have a misconfiguration? (We don't seem to have any problems accessing the shared samba shares): Mar 31 12:13:31 sd01 nmbd[3150]: [2005/03/31 12:13:31, 0]

Now, I have my server working but.. I can't add a new machine (wXP) to this domain server. All my configuration are ok (samba+smbtools+openldap),

Hello. I've got a Samba server and I'd like it to be master browser and everything else except domain controller (the customers wants a workgroup, not a domain). Lately a Windows 2003 server was added to the net and then I guess it was removed. I keep getting messages like the following in the logs: > Apr 10 03:07:51 apocalypse nmbd[57552]: [2005/04/10 03:07:51, 0]

The message below is appearing in my log file. I wonder why nmbd thinks it needs to "do a status request" to that IP address? It is another server here but does not run samba. I have been trying to make is stop this without any luck so far. Does anyone know how? Thanks, Bill Dec 4 08:27:43 apss nmbd[5048]: [2008/12/04 08:27:43, 0]

Since that I removed one of the interfaces of net of the server, the Samba presents problems generating following log: ec 13 09:41:46 sfs nmbd[2503]: [2005/12/13 09:41:46, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(488) Dec 13 09:41:46 sfs nmbd[2503]: get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail: Dec 13 09:41:46 sfs nmbd[2503]: Doing a node status request to the domain

LS, Some time ago I pensioned my old Server. But old soldiers never die; My logs keep coming up with the following 'Error': nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(485) get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail: Doing a node status request to the domain master browser at IP 192.168.11.2 failed.

I can't get rid of an old network I had configured on my Samba server, it was PDC on two subnets, and one of those nets are now gone. Still Samba tries to become PDC on the subnet (192.168.100.10). So, in my logs I get hundreds of these messages; [2007/07/26 22:38:57, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(488) get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail: Doing

Hi, I'm using samba-2.2.7-2 in RH 8.0.

I'm hoping someone can give me a hand in figuring out this problem, I have seen several other similar problems in searching, but nothing that exactly matches what I am seeing here. I have recently migrated a client from a Samba server running 2.2.7 (Redhat 9) to 3.0.2 (Fedora 1). The samba installation is running as a PDC for 5 Win XP workstations and was working perfectly prior to the

Hello, My IT department has implemented a samba PDC and now we are taking flack for it. Can anyone help me out with some good justifications for doing it this way vs the Microsoft way? Have a meeting about it in a short while... We wanted to do it because Linux is more secure and more stable. But there may be other good reasons and it would be good to know them. Or maybe it would be better

I'm trying to create a trust between two Samba-LDAP domains (on a single server). I'm following Samba Howto Collection (http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html#id335566) but I'm getting the error below. root@facomp01:~# /usr/local/samba.labi/bin/net rpc testjoin -S rpc_client/cli_pipe.c:get_schannel_session_key(2443) get_schannel_session_key:

Ok, we finally have our Linux PDC up and running. I'm trying to find a good guide to copying windows XP user profiles & registry settings to the newly created domain user profile. Also any utilities that could accomplish this. We are using local profiles. What we tried was using the "copy to" button to copy the user profile to the new domain profile. This seems to work for

This is a little of a new experience for me, I am a bit of a novice. I have usually been able to stumble around documentation and other mailing lists to figure out problems, unfortunately I have struck and issue that has me going around in circles ... I have set up a VPN between three locations using openvpn (device = tun ), two satellite locations (referred to as B & C) talking to a

Suddenly in the past week we have been having users who share excel files via our Samba complain that the file has become corrupt, and also some database files (Orcad .tdb database files). Fortunately there has in each instance been a good copy in the .recycler... so far. I came across some docs and threads in the net about oplocks. I did find an error in the samba log: [2008/04/14 10:19:05,

Hello On my network there is no domain master browser, and my nmbd is spamming my /var/log/messages file with messages that it cound not find one. Can I configure nmbd not to look for the domain master browser ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

Hi! I am having some trouble with a samba domain distributed over 2 subnets (192.168.0.0/23 (supernetted) & 192.168.4.0/24). These subnets are linked over the internet through a IPSec gateway to gateway (network to network) connection (i.e. all machines can reach/ping each other on both subnets). The samba PDC (with LDAP backend) has IP 192.168.0.4 and there is a BDC (LDAP slave) in

I have recently upgrade the hardware that the Samba server was running on. This also included an OS and Samba version upgrade. Old Server OpenSuSe 11.1 Samba 3.2.7 New Server OpenSuSe 12.1 Samba 3.6.3 I moved over everything located in the /etc/samba directory from the old hardware to the new hardware. I set the new server to use the same IP Address, services, hostname. The only
