We've recently started using samba-3.0.23d on Mandriva 2007.0 linux systems and we've noticed a change in behaviour of smbpasswd when a non-root user tries to change their password from "NO PASSWORD". Here's an example smbpasswd entry (all one line): testuser:12345:NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: NO PASSWORDXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[NU ]:LCT-00000000: The

I've encountered a new problem building gluster-2.0.1 that I did not have with gluster-2.0.0rc8. This is on a mandriva-2008.1-x86_64 system. ../../libtool: line 466: CDPATH: command not found ../../libtool: line 1144: func_opt_split: command not found libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6 Debian-2.2.6a-4, but the libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older

We're using gluster-2.0.1 and a nufa volume comprised of thirteen subvolumes across thirteen hosts. We've found today that there are some files in the local filesystem associated with the subvolume from one of the hosts that are not being seen in the nufa volume on any gluster client. I don't know how or when this happened, but now we have to do some work to get this gluster volume

Gluster-user folks, I'm trying to use gluster in a way that may be a considered an unusual use case for gluster. Feel free to let me know if you think what I'm doing is dumb. It just feels very comfortable doing this with gluster. I have been using gluster in other, more orthodox configurations, for several years. I have a single system with 45 inexpensive sata drives - it's a

I have a problem with 2.0.5 that did not happen in 2.0.4b or previous releases. I am seeing thousands of these messages in log.smb: [1999/07/20 23:44:24, 0] lib/util_str.c:string_sub(1095) ERROR: string overflow by 7 in string_sub(%M, 967) and the smbd process seems to be stuck in a tight loop. It's caused by the variable substitutions in these lines from smb.conf: root preexec = [ %U

if i have a host with a particular ip address running as a domain master browser and registered as such with my wins server, and then i change the ip address of this host, does the old registration with the wins server eventually go away so that the new ip address can be registered? if so, how long should this take? how would one force the old ip address to be forgotten? -- Todd Pfaff

anyone running samba-2.0.5a on a solaris 7 5/99 system and noticed this problem? this samba was built on a solaris 2.5 system and was running fine on a solaris 7 3/99 system. when i installed the solaris 7 5/99 maintenance update something broke. log.smb: [1999/08/06 11:04:41, 1] smbd/server.c:main(628) smbd version 2.0.5a started.

this isn't strictly a samba question, but it is related in that i'm trying to a samba server as my domain master browser and multiple samba servers as local master browsers for a workgroup across multiple subnets. everything seems to be working wonderfully except for one WfWG host which does not show up in the browse list as expected. i notice that this host is announcing itself as a

Hello, I have a working samba (2.0.7) server (Debian GNU/Linux 2.2) configured with security = user, but NOT domain. The clients are Windows 98. I whish windows users to be able to change their password without logging on the server (unix account on the server are disabled). I tried from the Password applet of the Control Panel, but I was able only to change the password stored on the Windows

Hi I want to run a Samba PDC with LDAP backend on a FreeBSD 6.2 for Sparc64. And off course, if I send this mail, it is not working ! :-( I have this error message when using smbclient on the PDC itself. The command line is: smbclient -L janus -Uadministrator%toto The result is: session setup failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF) I've tested on 2 differents FreeBSD6.2 Sparc64, I have the

Hi there! I have a Samba 2.2.2 PDC on linux 2.4.13 with ACL (acl.bestbits.at) support installed. There seems to be a problem with Roaming Profiles. Win2k with local NTFS filesystem will never delete roaming profiles (yes, I have regedited the DeleteRoamingCache to 1). In fact, any time TheUser logs back in, a new folder named TheUser.OURDOMAIN.??? (where ? is an integer) will be created,

i can use the smbclient -L just fine to get a list of shares off my NT4 (Alpha processor) server. My problem lies with rpcclient. It lets me login but then samtest gives the following error: smb: \> samtest samtest SAM Encryption Test SAMR_R_UNKNOWN_38: Unknown NT error smb: \> all i need to be able to do is change the nt password, but the ntpass command gives the same error. any ideas

Hi, Thanks for your information. Now I was not able to login as domain user. I am getting following error message. The system cannot log you on now because domain TECHGROUP is not available.

I've attached a perl script that I wrote to build smbpasswd from /etc/passwd. Please note that this writes a samba-2.0 format smbpasswd file. This script will: # - create accounts that exist in /etc/passwd and not in smbpasswd # - remove accounts that exist in smbpasswd and not in /etc/passwd # - preserve existing password, flags and LCT fields in smbpasswd # - sets new account passwords to

Hi, I am running Samba 3.2.4 on a Solaris 10 SPARC machine. The config is pretty simple (see below). Security is set to 'domain'. The PDC and BDC are running 3.0.30 without problems. When joining the machine to the domain with 'net rpc join', it fails with: Could not connect to server 130.37.79.2 Connection failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER when running the net command

Hello all. I have been given an assignment to mount a share automatically for each user using a given Linux machine (Mandrake 10 in this case). This is working fine, thanks to pam_mount, BUT: The mounted share contains national characters like this: ? ? ?. The problem I'm having is that when I mount these on Linux the '?' looks like 'o' but cannot be accessed like that. It

Hi, Last week, while trying to compile IceCast2 from CVS on several Debian machines (sid, woody, sarge), I encountered a problem where autoconf told me to file a bug report, which I did with Debian's reportbug utility. here's the answer from Ben Pfaff, who's in charge of Autoconf at Debian, which you may find interesting to read. hth. bye, PS: I've not tested his suggestion

Hi, <foreword> I am about to set up Samba 3.0.14a on Linux as PDC wit LDAP backend for our faculty. However, first tries have only partly been successful. First I added samba LDAP-Schema attributes to existing account, created their Samba passwords with smbpasswd and it worked so that normal users could log in via the windows network neighborhood and use the shares. But, I couldn't

hi all, I have a strange problem using the libsmbclient api.. retrieving or stating files named with percents in is for some of them impossible. Example: a file located at "smb://test/test/%7C2.txt" cannot be retrieved with my code, smbc_open fails with the code NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID. I am not sure but, url encoding/decoding that would escape strings with "percent"

Hello smbcacls is not able to locate the object of a share. I've attached a copy of the smb.conf file and the debug output of the smbcacls command.
