similar to: Adding a second server, SIDs in security tab?

I am somewhat confused... I understand that the preferred method to mount a Samba share with a Linux client is to use "mount -t cifs" rather than "mount -t smbfs". I get the impression that smbfs is samba.org developed code where as cifs is from elsewhere. Thus the point of confusion. Why is samba.org not developing the preferred code in this case? A sub question to that

Hi, Our domain is setup with one Primary Domain Controller and two Backup Domain Controllers, and a member server. All domain controllers (PDC and BDCs) are running Gentoo Linux with Samba and LDAP. The member server (fileserver) is a SUNS machine running Solaris. We do everything (add, edit, modify groups and accounts) on the PDC and it will then sync all the changes to the BDC by way of

Hey, So, I have a Linux server that is mounting a CIFS share. The server then shares that share to everyone else. My question is does having it routed this way cause a major slow down? Do the files need to be copied to the mediator server before going out to the device that is requesting the file? Or is it able to forward the request to the other server to grab the files directly from there? I

Hi I have a applikation (Oracle DB) which writes files with a backslash in names, i.e: Log\GEN_INPUT_BASED_2899.csv not a problem for Unix but Samba present it to Windows users as: L2CYOP~L.CSV Is there any way _in Samba_ to strip this 'Log\' and give back to user the GEN_INPUT_BASED_2899.csv part. Tha appliance (EMC Celerra) I've just migrated data from, was magicaly doing this.

It would be a handy feature to have idmap_ad implement an alloc routine to write back the uid and gid mappings to AD either as SFU attributes or RFC 2307 attributes. I figure this could allow dynamic uid and gid allocation that can be easily preserved across multiple domains in a Windows environment. Has there been any attempt to provide this feature? Ross S. W.

Hi, Just try to build rpm of Samba on my CentOS 5.2 box. RPM building & updating were fine, but I can not start smbd. Here are errors: # service smb start Starting SMB services: smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libtalloc.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [FAILED] Starting NMB services: nmbd:

We are migrating old FreeBSD machines to Redhat EL 5. On FreeBSD, we have previously used "valid users =" with sucess. "valid users" was never a group, but always a list of user names like: valid users = david joe henry Moving to Redhat Enterprise 5, I used the system authentication GUI to set up Winbind and Kerberos and pam and nsswitch.conf. We authenticate off AD, and do

Dear All, I use Vista sync tool for synchronization Vista between samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.2 on RHEL AS4. There is some problem on files to copy samba home sharing.

Hello list, we have a small NAS-Box here in our office, running Linux 2.6.13 and Samba 3 (exactly version string is not avalilable for me at moment). Is there a limit, how many files samba will store in one folder? We recognize a massive CPU-Load of the smbd-process, when accessing a folder which stores round about 60 000 small text-files. Is this a samba-Limit or a bug? The kernel and samba is

Hi, I'm running winbind (3.0.28a) on SLES9 with heimdal Kerberos. Everything works fine so far. Now i need to have the host keytab generated by winbind to be in the default /etc/krb5/krb5.keytab in order to use nfs with kerberos security. The problem is i have set the parameter in smb.conf: use kerberos keytabe = true and as mentioned in man smb.conf i have set in krb5.conf

Hello, I have a strange problem affecting samba-3.0.10-1.4E.12.2 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 system. We have a multi-domain configuration here at University of Verona (Italy). We use Samba as PDC for several faculties. Each faculty has its own daemon instance and its own smb config file: [root@ldapvr1 ~]# ls /etc/samba/smb.* /etc/samba/smb.conf

I just recreated this bug in samba-3.0.26a-3.3. It is as simple as creating a directory named "F-08-6104 International Management Assoc." (without the quotes), then looking at the name of the directory via XP. I've done it twice now: OpenSUSE 10.2 + Samba 3.0.23d-19.7 + XFS, all from Novell OpenSUSE 10.3 + samba-3.0.26a-3.3 + XFS, all from Novell With both I get the same wrong

How long does one have to typically wait for an answer to a post? Tomorrow my message will have been up a week, and I've gotten no replies. It was about whether a file, while it was being written to, could subsequently be opened by another client for reading. I used a DVR with chasing play as an example. Didn't seem like that difficult of a question, but maybe it isn't geeky

First, I'll just say this is a question principally about the arcane mysteries of Samba to OpenLDAP authentication. I've had Samba to OpenLDAP authentication running for a while now using the samba.schema and the ldapsam module. Now I'd like to understand a bit more about how that works in order to take it a step further and get openLDAP to bind against a Kerberos database via
