Hello All, I am trying to migrate samba from a box with Mandrake 10.1 with Samba 3.0.10 to a new box running CentOS 5.2 with Samba 3.0.28.

[Slightly OT] Mac and Samba
Hello all... I have a question that is outside the realm of my experience but that has come up several times recently. I have a mixed network (some Macs, some PCs) that needs a server. I'm going through the standard process of deciding between Samba and a Windows domain controller, my strong preference being to install Linux/Samba server. The sticking point seems to be that the Mac users

Instead it shows my computer name (client) followed

Strange behaviour of Samba3 with wireless clients
I have built my own wireless AP with Ubuntu 7.10 and an Atheros-based wireless card. My problem is that I can't access any of the Samba shares with my wireless clients...they can all search for the server, get prompted for a login then it just hangs and eventually times out. The same clients, when using their LAN ports to connect to the same server, are able to do everything--browse and

Writing to shares directly
Within a Samba configuration, is it not advisable to create files on the directory on the local machines themselves? Out setup is like so: Server 1 (where the files reside): /data/shares/app01 Server 2 (mounts the above drive): /data/mounts/app01 If, on Server 1, I create a file: # echo test > /data/shares/app01/test The file is created, but on Server 2, I cannot seem to edit the file as

cached logons
Hi. I can't do cached logons in our new samba server. I had a dead crashed W2k server quickly replaced by samba-3. That meant create a new domain, restore backups and add all the PCs to the domain. It was impossible to ressurrect the old MS server. Anyway I'm facing a problem about cached logons. There is no way to make it work. I've been reading all the entries in the mailing list

Windows member servers have lost their minds...
Hello all... I'm having a serious problem after a Samba upgrade from 3.0.20 to 3.0.23c. A bit of background: I have a network with a Samba PDC and several member servers running Windows 2000 server. I upgraded my PDC from Mandrivalinux to RHEL5, which (obviously) included a Samba upgrade. I renamed the old server to a different hostname and IP address, and disabled Samba on it, then I copied

pGINA and samba - authentication against LDAP userPassword field?
Hi, Back to a while ago, someone mentioned about taking pGINA code to samba, so samba can work against LDAP authentication, but instead of using the sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword, this way samba can use the userPassword field directly. This sounds very promissing because we can then just use one set of passwords. It may be not usable in a domain enviroment where machine accounts and other

permissions
Hi, I am trying to run the addsmbcups command which uses: smbclient, rpcclient, adddriver, setdriver commands to do its work. It seems like it expects be be root, since it has to write to various places: /var/spool/cups/tmp/ and /usr/share/cups/drivers. My question is since I am using LDAP as the backend, root can't easily be used; does anyone have any recommendations on how this can be

Updating System Policy Templates
Hi all, I am going to be in the process of updating my custom system policy templates (probably within a month or two) and I am asking for what policies anyone is in need of to help them deploy samba as a domain controller. Currently I basically have a single template.adm file, a few people have asked me to separate them into a few different files that would serve an overall single purpose - I
