I have a friend that had a samba server go down. They switched to another server and are having problems with people logging into it from Windows 98. If the same user logs in from WinXp then everything works otherwise they get an error. He also said that the smb.conf files were the same on both servers. >From the errors it almost looks like some sort of permission problem, but since it logs

I've followed the OpenLDAP + SAMBA Domain Controller tutorial step-by-step: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640760 And after long hours, and enless googling, I've yet to find a solution.

Hi, I am really stuggeling with Samba, searched forums and checked tutorials, so far with no success. So you are my last resort and probably the first place I should have checked, but I am completly new to mail groups, so please be patient with me. Users can log in to the Samba PDC domain successfully and get the login script executed just fine. But: 1.) If user A is creating a file then user

Hi, I have a very small setup, one XP/clinet and one Vista/client and a Ubuntu/samba server. I like to cleanup my log.smbd but I can't figure out how! I have everything up and running and I can access the share's from the XP client. I googled around and it seems that I should bind some Windows group/user against Unix group/users with something like 'net groupmap add rid=2512

Hello, I'm having some trouble using Samba to backup my PC with Lenovo's Rescue and Restore. In the course of analysing potential causes of the problem, I noticed in my Samba server's log (pertaining to my client PC) several "can't do this" or "can't do that" messages. Specifically, here are the messages that appear constantly: [2009/01/12 11:05:52, 0]

Hi, I have samba-3.0.23d-1tr on a trustix 3.0 system. This samba was joined to a win 2k3 domain and it works perfect for lot of months. Now I can access only to tmp share, and samba server is very slow to expose all shares. If I launch wbinfo -u or wbinfo -g, I still see the users/group from win2k3 server, but in the log of my winxp client (whose name is Euro15), I see: [2006/12/27 11:52:31, 2]

Hi list, My brand new samba network is working pretty good, ironing out some glitches. Win XP users cannot change their password. I use SaMBa as a domain-controller with an LDAP backend. A stripped down version of the config is below. I set minimum password length to 8, trying to change the password to a 7 char long gives me the messages that the password does not meet requirements. So that

After a hiccup or two with Samba not wanting to restart, I opted to look for a pid/lock file and found none. Tried to correct by restarting the server and had no success with samba restarting. There are no errors in smbd.log I did apt-get upgrade. No help I did apt-get remove samba, samba and swat went away. I did note that the XXXX pid was not found during install when samba was to be killed.

Hi All I'm trying to set up a machine with a simple samba configuration. I've written the config file with no problems, however any time I attempt to connect to the shares it doesn't work. Firstly, the smb.conf: [global] netbios name = TEMPSRV workgroup = LIPSON map to guest = Bad User [ittechs] comment = Should not see me... path = /var/smb/ittechs read only = no force user =

Hi, I'm trying to join a server as an AD member but it isn't working. I do: kinit ADMINISTRATOR@DOMAIN1.CO.UK which prompts for the password and displays nothing else.

Hello, I recently upgraded from Samba 3.0.22 to 3.0.25c on Solaris, and after doing so I noticed a sudden proliferation of new error messages in the Samba log, such as: [2007/08/27 15:36:03, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(1200) setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources.

Hi everyone, I have an issue with Samba agains Active Directory. The authentication works just fine but when it comes to shares I've ran into some problems. If I use any group mapping from the AD it won't let me access it so I figure that is where the problem lays. If I comment out "valid users", "force user" and "force group" then I have no problems and it

Hi, I've recently started at a new company that doesn't have a system in place to map my Linux home directory within Windows. I have my own Linux box (a recent Redhat install), and my own Windows XP PC. I will get no help from a system admin here, so my only option is to try installing Samba myself on my Linux box. To my surprise, I've found little or no information on installing
