Hello, I am using Samba (3.6.12) with Gentoo Linux (Kernel Version 3.7.10) and I have a system integrated with Active Directory (the Microsoft Windows servers are running 2008 Enterprise Edition, Release 2). All is well on that front (I can log in, directories are created, etc.) What I would like to do now is have different /etc/skel directories for different groups. So, for example, if

Hi, I need some help in building a Java client on Windows 7 64 bit plaftorm to manage a KVM using the libvirt APIs. Using the instructions at http://libvirt.org/java.html, i was able to build libvirt.jar. My understanding is that libvirt.jar uses JNA to call libvirt's native windows library. I tried using the libvirt dlls in the experimental Windows installation package mentioned in

Hi, Could any one please tell me if there is any way to remove 11 letters long cryptic output from -ii option. I am using rsync 3.0.5 rsync -av -stats -ii --log-file-format='CONTENTS: %i %f %l %o %b' --log-file='/tmp/rsync-test' Mydocs/ Mydocs1/" The output of this command: 2009/03/31 15:15:17 [4537] building file list 2009/03/31 15:15:29 [4537] created directory Mydocs1

Hi, all. I didn't find something like this in the faq list: I wound like build a function to substitute single backslashes in a string to double: ChangeSlash<-function(dir) ... so ChangeSlash("C:\mydocs\test") returns "C:\\mydocs\\test" Thanks, C. _______________________________________________________ Abra sua conta no Yahoo!

I am trying to create an archive of one of my home directories for items that have changed or been deleted. I am well aware of the --backup option, but it seems not to work across an rsyncd connection (excuse word wrap from my mailer) but this snippet illustrates the point ARCH=/bak/archive rsync -aHxq --delete --backup --backup-dir=$ARCH/snap/mydocs/ /home/alan/mydocs/ roo::alan/mydocs/

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: First let me say that rsync/cwrsync is amazing ! And sorry ! if I'm bothering you with this question... I need to sync my work files from the WinXP Pro machine to our Solaris one... so far so fine.. My problem is when I specify the path on the rsyncd.conf (cwrsync) I have tried many combinations from:

Dear, I'm having some strange problems with Samba. I have shared a linux folder on my samba and have mapped it to a drive letter in Windows XP (I also tried with Windows 2000). When I right click my mapped drive and click on properties to view the free space and capacity, I get all garbage as can be seen from the screenshot at: http://www.nuonsoft.com/temp/samba_free_space.jpg I'm running

Hi, i followed the official faq trying to disable roaming profiles but it doesnt work in smd.conf i have logon home = logon path = for every new pc that i have joined to the domain, the hole desktop and mydocs directory is transfered to the server!!!!!!! i have wasted 15G because of that and if a user logons in another machine all the crap is transfered back again in this pc. So, it is not

I may be able to help on this one...we were having a similar problem and just last week cured it. (I hope!) I had to do two things: 1). On the clients having this problem, edit this registry key: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache\GoOff lineOnSlowLink". If it's not there (as in my case) you may have to add the last key. Make sure it's a

Hi, i have a samba server as PDC in my office. Now, some co-workers wants to access their files from outside. Making a VPN does not work because my office has a crappy connection. Is it possible to install a BDC in a datacenter for the remote people?

Before last week, we have been running Samba 3.0.28 on Ubuntu Hardy as a PDC for Windows XP Pro machines using roaming profiles. This has worked for years with no issues. We migrated to a server running Ubuntu Lucid and Samba 3.4.7 so that we could start adding Windows 7 Pro machines to the domain. We first moved servers/samba versions and worked out a few kinks with the XP machines.

Hi all, I had the following line in my smb.conf with which to log access to the home share when users logged in: preexec = /bin/echo \"%u logged in to %m at %T\" >> /var/log/samba/logons.log Since updating to LDAP however, it's stopped working and I suspect that smbldap cant handle the % substitutions for user, machine and time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If

Hi All, Our office is running somes tests by introducing a couple of Linux workstations into the mix to see how they fair. I am however having some issues connecting these workstations to the shares offered by our Samba 3.02 server. I know that this is not really a samba issue, but I thought I might be able to get some help here to rectify my problems. I apologize if this is too far off

We upgraded from Samba 3.0.24 to 3.0.25a over the weekend and rebooted all of our clients afterwards. Since then, some of our clients are randomly getting the following error: "Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied." Unmapping and mapping the network drive fixes the problem, but one

Greets to all. I was just wondering if mounting samba shares and microsoft dfs are too far apart conceptually to work together. (ie allow someone to mount a dfs root and magically get access to all those shares listed under dfs) I have noted in the samba mail archives that smbclient cannot act as a dfs client (and tested it for myself) Is it a case of "implement it for yourself if you

I've been reading through a lot of documentation and haven't found the answer to this question. I'd like to setup a DFS Root on a Win2K3 server with some Samba server shares participating as replica links. Is this possible? I've got the shares setup on the Samba servers and have no trouble accessing them from windows computers. I tried to setup the links on the Win2k3 server, but

Hello, we have a Samba 3.2.8 msdfs root server. From time to time the connection from a Windows 2003 SP2 system will fail with the message that the server name could not be found. On Windows XP it seems to work. On Windows we open the folder user1/folder/subfolder with the explorer. In the failure log I can't see anything about the subfolder. If I compare the samba log (debug level 10)

Hi I downloaded samba 3.3.12 and installed it in Aix6l with following configuration option: ./configure --without-libaddns --without-libsmbsharemodes --with-acl-support --without-ldap --without-utmp --with-libiconv=/usr --with-winbind. Now When I am trying to set host msdfs = yes ,and want to use MSDFS feature It doesn't show me any message but also it does not work. My conf file is

Hi, until now the users here did access the samba shares directly via \\server\share. The number of shares is rising and it should now be possible to access shares by the department they belong to. Thus the users need only one drive letter and not many in their windows explorer. To accomplish this I tried the msdfs approach and it's working very nicely. on serverA: share1 ->
