Sorry if this is a faq, known issue, or otherwise easy to solve problem - have searched lists, docs, web etc, and don't find answer. I have a Samba server (3.0.14) running on a remote (Debian) fileserver. Most workstations are OSX or Solaris and the shares on the fileserver are NFS mounted on those machines. I now need to mount the fileserver on a Windows XP laptop. I can successfully

I've been using a Samba share at home on my Linux box for about a year which contains my music library. Until recently, I've not had any problems whatsoever. As of the last week or two, I've gotten almost constant disconnects from my Windows XP Home box when accessing files on that share. To my knowledge, nothing has changed on either computer, including Samba setup, firewalls, and the

account to join the Win2K PCs to the domain. You have to use the root account. Therefore making the account "root" invalid is not a good thing (or I would assume). Just create a root account in the smbpasswd file and make the password different from your unix account (if security is your concern). Does this make sense? Regards, Alan B.

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. I have been following the instruction for winbind (Chapter 21) in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. Any comments would be

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. What happens is when they try to change it a process (passwd) gets stuck with the users name. The only way to fix this is to kill the passwd process the user started. I haven't changed the "passwd chat"

Hi! I have a samba 2.2.3a-12 on a Linux Debian box (lets call it pdcMachine) with a 2.4.16 kernel acting as a PDC of some domain (lets call it myDomain).

Hi list, we have spotted a serious problem with our Samba (Debian version 3.0.24-6) on linux 2.4.31, ext2 with ACLs enabled. We use "hide unreadable = yes" to reduce clutter for our users. Today we noticed that with this option enabled any linux client can access and read *all* directories under the share, even directories that are owned by root and set to 0700. No ACLs are set on the

At one site I support, I have just recently put a policy file on their server to try and make some stuff easier to manage. Only problem is Windows is not even trying to load it. I watched the traffic in Wireshark, and there's no request for the ntconfig.pol file at all. And of course nothing from it is being applied. I had read that this can happen if someone has set the policy refresh

I'm seeing very long delays the first time winbind accesses the network. See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496569 I've tried lots of things, down to stripping the config to a bare minimum for ADS security and even killing ipv6 support on the box. Nothing has resolved this. Does anyone see anything obviously wrong with this configuration that might cause a very long
