similar to: Samba as standalone server & problems with saving documents

Hello, I am trying to provide our users a way to change file/folder permissions on public share on samba (3.0.28a) ROLE_STANDALONE server. ACL's are working fine but the problem is to get list of users and groups on samba server via Windows XP Professional (SP3). When I open 'Select users or groups' dialog and pressing 'Find now' button the Windows asks my Samba

hi all, I have a problem with some windows 7 pro (64) clients navigating on samba shares. The user wants to open a folder and then it takes a long time until it opens. Looking into the samba log of the PC it is filled with this entries (seems to check for every ldap user): [2013/03/18 10:10:54.224428, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:572(init_sam_from_ldap) init_sam_from_ldap: Entry found for user:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a user who is running a Samba server to store data files for his ArcView 3.3 application. Client operating system is Windows XP professional. With Samba2 (2.2.8a) this was working quite fine, it usually took less than a few seconds to load and render one of the GIS presentations with ArcView. We then did an upgrade to Samba3 (3.0.20b)

hi, I configured a samba server member of a AD domain. I tought that the system is working fine because user can access share on the linux box. But, i have some problem. I follow some how to &other doc i founded on the samba website. My problem is when i execute wbinfo -gu, winbing can lookup on AD to get the users. When i launch getent passwd; only local users are shown. Why? My other

Hi all, I sometime have a strange behavior when using MS Office and saving files. First things first: - OS CentOS 6.7 x86_64 - SAMBA version 3.6.23, configured as member server (see [1] for full configuration) - inotifywait watching my shares to replicate them off-site - about 100 W7/W8 clients with MS Office 2010 Using inotifywait, I tracked how MS Office file save function works. Basically,

I was running 3.0 on a freebsd-7.2 box as a PDC, I needed to add some windows 7 computers to the mix. So I jumped from 3.0 to samba34-3.4.5_1. I was able to get the windows 7 into the mix. But in the jump I lost some features on the other computers. I have a mix of Windows 2000 pro, Windows XP pro and Windows 7 pro and the one PDC. The windows computers are unable to share printers. Not able to

Hello, I have successfully joined a SBS 2003 (SRVACMPDC01) domain with two additional Samba 4 DCs (SAMBA4PDC and SAMBA4DEDI, currently both 4.0.4-GIT-9899851). Everything worked fine: DNS / AD replication etc. The windows server was still responsible for DNS / DHCP / all FSMO roles. Now the original SBS 2003 crashed and refuses to start again (long story). In order to get a temporary workaround

Hello, i'm new to the the list so excuse me if I ask for an old problem, but i found no solution in the archive. I try to set up a rh 7.3 server with samba 2.4 as PDC for win2000 sp2 clients. I configured the samba to create the machine accounts on the fly. When I try to join the domain the entries in smbpass and passwd are created fine. After a minute I get the message that I joined the

Hello everybody, we have an annoying problem with our samba server randomly disconnecting the home shares. Our "Application Data" folders as well as "Desktop" are redirected to directories in the user's home folder outside ".profiledata" to avoid the copying during logon /logoff. >From time to time clients get an error message "Delayed Write

Hi!! We are trying to configure a Debian Linux Server as Samba Server (Domain Controller) and a Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) as client. We have configured Windows into the Samba Domain (in other words, we have been able to agregate the machine into the domain), but when we restart Windows and try to login with a samba user (from linux server) (selecting the Domain), we received a message

Hi Is there a way of getting samba to use the passwd file entries when utilising POSIX extended acls. I have two groups of users 1) A vast amount of users who access filestore via windows only. In this case I winbind and idmap to assign random UNIX uids as is normal. 2) I also have a much smaller group of users who use NFS and CIFS to access the same area. In this case I put an entry in

Hi Rowland, thanks for your reply. > I personally would have used 'cache directory =' , see 'man smb.conf' > for the difference. >From description based on man smb.conf I would absolutely agree. I have tried and set the "cache directory" option but still gencache.tdb (and all other files that were moved) left within the /run/samba (lock directory). Never the

Installed: Samba 4.1.13, running as AD >From time to time, users get disconnected from their shares. At that moment, windows explorer is not responding, freezing up the whole PC. I suspect this issue is caused by samba4 not being the master browser. Running smbclient -L on the AD server returns nothing for the master browser: [root at BEHESR-FS1 ~]# smbclient -L //localhost -U

Hi there, we have a customer with some old Windows 98 stuff. The network has been migrated to a 2008 domain and Windows 98 won't authenticate (and thus can not access shares, also all computer names (DC's / fileservers) are longer than 8 characters). Figured I would mount the shares on the fileservers on a linux box (ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit server) and then export them again through

Hello, We have a small setup where we write files on a Windows system to a samba mounted location coming from a linux system. This linux system has NVME disks and 10gige connections. We are getting slow write performance and our setup should be able to get better write speeds. I am attaching our config files and hoping someone can assist with tuning our smb.conf for getting better performance:

Okay, let's try this again. I have a Samba server, joined to my Windows Active Directory domain, and I'm having a problem setting ACLs on a share from Windows. On Windows, I get the error message "Unable to save permission changes on <folder>. The parameter is incorrect." and when I look in my Samba log, I see the message "ACL is invalid for set (Invalid

Hello, if I copy or create a file or directory, it inherits the permissions of it's parent. If I move a file from one directory to another, it will not inherit the permissions of the target-directory. Why? [daten] comment = Daten path = /samba/daten inherit permissions = yes inherit ACLS = yes nt acl support = no writeable = yes hide

I'm trying to upgrade and old server from the 3.0.23 to the 3.0.26 version (suse93->suse103) (for brevity, abbreviating 3.0.23->.23, and 3.0.26->.26) It's not working as smoothly as I had hoped...and was wondering if anyone has seen similar behavior or if I have some "gotcha" that I haven't kept up on (quite possible, since I move my focus from product to
