hi! we seem to have a weird problem with our samba server and i hope somebody can point me in the right direction to find the cause of this problem setup: smbAT02:~# uname -a Linux smbAT02 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Dec 22 20:43:59 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux .) the OS is debian stable (etch) .) samba version is 3.0.24-6etch9 .) the server has 8GB of RAM, 2 quad core intel cpus, about 1.5 TB of

I'd like to run a CLI broadband speed tester on my CentOS server. I downloaded "tespeed" from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/>. This ran fine under Fedora-19, but failed under CentOS with the message "# reject large message", although from a quick look at the source it did not seem to be using a large test-file. Does anyone know of an alternative CLI

Hi, I run a Centos 5.8 samba server which uses a separate LDAP centos 6.3 server for user and group authentication. Now we migrate to a new centos 6.3 samba server and I'd like to know how do 'ldapify' that new server the best way. I'm a bit confused if I can use the same nss setup like on the current old server or how and what to configure to go with SSSD? May be someone can

Hello, I have a CentOS4 install and I am trying to mount a Windows Server 2008 folder. When I use this command: mount -t cifs //10.1.1.17/Org/MR\ Ops/ test, it only mounts the Org folder. When I try the same thing on a newer computer (Fedora 15), it mounts all the way to MR Ops. So I am pretty sure that my cifs file needs to be updated, but I am having a really hard time doing this. I updated

Hi all, I issued the commands on a single disk system: with two partitions / is linux sda1 and /home is sda3 yum -y update yum -y install e4fsprogs reboot umount /home tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda3 e2fsck -yfDC0 /dev/sda3 That worked just fine. I then had a different system that is software raid. where / is linux and md0 and /home is md1 yum -y update yum -y

Hi guys, any CUPS / Samba experts out there? The CUPS printing guide is a horrendous maze of options. I've got nearly there but I've got one thing wrong and I don't know where to look. I set up our two printers (HP K5400s) using the GUI printer tool. Both print the test page just fine. I set up the [printers] and [print$] shares and can browse to the printers from Windows (XP for me)

Hi, any one has successfully joined a Windows 7 workstation to a samba (3.0.33) domain on CentOS 5.8? I am wondering if I need to install a newer version (from sernet by example) or if I can keep the old one and try harder... Thx, JD

So, the more I look at various ways to lay out my infrastructure, the more I am thinking about specs for hardware. Starting with firewalling. How does one determine the specs for a firewall? What I mean is: 1. motherboard/CPU - p4? Dual-Core? Intel i3, i5, i7? 2. RAM? 4gb? 8gb? More? 32gb? 3. Obviously GB Nics! I am bring about 300gb of traffic a month right now and I expect that to

Hi! i have a problem with iotop : root at alien: ~ # iotop Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/iotop", line 16, in ? main() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 567, in main main_loop() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/iotop/ui.py", line 557, in <lambda> main_loop = lambda: run_iotop(options) File

Though I've worked with enterprise systems, I'm not familiar with FOOS backup software. Which of those recommended would allow me to backup a system while users are active on it? If it matters the system uses LVM. I'd also like to be able to avoid needing the network if possible. That is, I'd plug in a disk into a USB port and backup the system onto that... again, while

Hi all. I have two servers 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5PAE CentOS release 5.7 (Final) Both have two external gigabit network cards (installed Planet with Realtek r8169 chipset). lspci 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I'm running a headless server, so no GUI, just ssh logins. I don't seem to have the mechanism that automounts USB drives to a subdirectory of /media, and from googling around I think that's a feature of a GUI-based system. What implements it? Right now I manually create a mountpoint in /mnt and then manually mount by label from /dev/disk/by-label after plugging the drive in. It

Hi, I was wondering if a Samba BDC should be able to create users and computer accounts when connecting to a LDAP PDC server? Should the add scripT lines be included in a BDC's smb.conf file? Normally, as far I know, BDC should just log on users. Or am I wrong? Thanks,

I've been reading about policies and the documentation says to grab poledit.exe from the NT SP6a file. There are many policy settings that are not available via this tool. Isn't there something newer that could be used to create the .pol file needed by samba to implement policies? Or will this only be available with samba4?

It seems weird. On 75% of my machines, it creates accounts as: c:\documents and settings\username on 25% of the machines, it creates them as: c:\docments and settings\username.DOMAINNAME These are fresh machines, so it's unclear to me where this behavior stems from. We're not using roaming profiles. Does anyone have any idea as to why this happens? thanks Chris

I can't get smbldap-useradd to add the sambaSamAccount workstation attributes. For example: smbldap-useradd -w 'test_machine$' # test_machine$, People, desktop.hmdc.harvard.edu dn: uid=test_machine$,ou=People,dc=desktop,dc=hmdc,dc=harvard,dc=edu objectClass: top objectClass: account objectClass: posixAccount cn: test_machine$ uid: test_machine$ uidNumber: 1010 gidNumber: 515

Hi, I recently upgraded our PDC to Samba 3.0.20 from 3.0.11. Unfortunately the user manager (usrmgr.exe) does not show all the users anymore. I cannot find the real culprit yet, but: Oct 28 19:18:08 [slapd] conn=2886 op=8 SRCH base="ou=people,dc=aub.nl,dc=aub,dc=nl" scope=2 deref=0 filter="(&(uid=*)(objectClass=sambaSamAccount))"_ Oct 28 19:18:08 [slapd] conn=2886 op=8

Hi, We are using a PDC (Primary LDAP) and BDC (Replica LDAP). Changing password on PDC works fine, but no way when users are logged on BDC. The truth is that PDC and BDC are configured with passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1/. The users get the message like "You are not allowed to change password" or "You can not change password at this time" when they want to
