Greetings, I hope someone can tell me if what I want to do is possible with Samba or not. I have been searching for info and found a number of people with similar problems, but not an answer. I have a Samba server (3.2.4) running on a Solaris 10 machine which is a member server in Active Directory (AD). I am using winbind. The AD users can access the samba server shares and UNIX services.

Greetings, I have Samba 4.4.7 running on several Sparc boxes running Solaris 9 as member servers in an Active Directory environment. (I do not control the AD configuration) I am able to connect to the servers using windows clients and smbclient - the problem I have run into is when I try to add domain users to local groups on the Samba servers I am told the users do not exist. As these

So SAMBA no longer supports print driver downloads. That is about the only conclusion that I can come to at this point. I've not been able to get Windows printer driver downloads to work right since Samba 2.2.2. No one but printer admins displays the correct settings for printers, everyone else gets the original printer defaults that they cannot change. I've tried this with

Greetings, I have an elderly installation of Samba 3.5.8 running on 10 Sparc servers (and 3.5.12 on Solaris 9 servers with the same issue) set up as Active Directory member servers. Since we've laid-off everyone else around here I have not had the opportunity to update the Samba installation - and have not needed to as it has been very solid. Suddenly last Friday the Samba servers

Yes, I know that version is obsolete and as soon as I can actually get the later versions of Samba to run and behave on my Solaris 10 boxes i will upgrade. AD member servers. Using rid to map UID numbers as not available from our AD folks. Two of the machines are going on their merry own way rather than creating the same UID numbers for AD users that other samba servers are using. On two

Greetings, all, I have a fresh install of Samba 2.2.7 on a Solaris 9 machine. Stand alone, not part of a domain. Testing with a stand alone Windows 2000 professional client with service pack 3 installed. I am having problems setting defaults for the installed printer drivers and I have been unable to load Win98 drivers to go along with the W2k drivers. Printers being tested are an HP LJ

Greetings, I recently upgraded an AD member server from Samba 3.5.15 to Samba 3.6.9 and found that I had lost all the existing local group mappings. I see that the group mapping file has gone from group_mapping.ldb to group_mapping.tdb. I asked on this list as well as searching the web, Samba documentation (which still seems focused on version 3.5), and Samba Wiki and found nothing on a

Greetings, No helpful hints have been offered to my winbind issues with Samba 3.4.9 and Solaris 9 I started trying to build Samba 3.5.6. Using gcc 3.4.6. I added "-lintl" to the LIBS option in the Makefile which cleared some earlier linker errors involving libintl_gettext, libintl_textdomain and libintl_bindtextdomain being undefined, except with winbind: Linking shared library

Greetings, Still no progress trying to get Samba 3.5.6 built on Solaris 10, using gcc 3.4.6. Maybe fresh eyes will see something? Been having issues building samba since 3.4.9 (and anything greater than 3.2.15 on Solaris 9 where samba will build, but winbind will not work properly for user authentication.) techops$ make Using CFLAGS = -I/opt/local/kerberos5/include -O -I.

Greetings, I have been working on getting Samba 3.0.20rc2 on a Sun Solaris box to play nice with our institution's Active Directory (AD) environment. The AD set-up is pretty plain and I have no ability to make changes to its configuration - a different department runs that show. Should I be able to store the roaming profile information on my Samba server in an AD environment? The rest

Greetings, Still trying to get Samba 3.0.15pre2 built on a Solaris 9 box with PAM support. I am using gcc 3.3.2 and I have openldap-2.2.24, krb5-1.4, and Cyrus SASL 2.1.20 installed. I have found other posting by people with problems building on Solaris as well as asking about the "_pam_macros.h" file that seems to be missing on Solaris. Posting about problems, but not with

Greetings, My odd question for the week - I've been unable to figure out if/how to do this. Given an Active Directory user ID, is there a way to get the user's real name? During testing of our Samba AD member servers I have seen user's given names appearing in the log files - is there a way that I can pull that for my own use? Our site uses loginIDs for users that give no clue

Greetings, Attempting to build samba 3.5.6 on Solaris 10. Running make after the configure process has completed yields: make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 1396: Extra `:', `::', or `:=' on dependency line Not that I have not had issues of late building Samba, but this id the first time it went of the rails so early in the building process. -Bob --

Greetings, For a number of samba iterations I've been using Samba with winbind to keep AD users's UNIX UIDs and GIDs the same across several systems. I don't run the Active Directory set-up and those that do are NOT going to make any alterations to make my life easier. So i have always used idmap_rid to keep consistent UID/GID numbers across all my UNIX machines. This has

Greetings, Before I get to far digging I was wondering if anyone else was seeing problems with Samba 3.2 on Solaris 10 (Sparc.) I built Samba with gcc 3.4.3. Clients are denied access to server resources and I'm seeing the following in the logs: [2008/07/02 15:47:38, 3] smbd/password.c:register_existing_vuid(326) register_existing_vuid: UNIX uid 10000 is UNIX user CSUNET\1001362,

Greetings, All, I've run into an interesting problem with Samba 2.2.2 and dealing with printer drivers for Windows 2000. I can install the drivers for nt4/2000 okay, I can install the drivers for win98 okay. The part I thought was really neat was how I could set the printer options for Windows 2000 in the driver install so that when a user installed the driver the correct printer

Greetings, I'm seeing am odd printing problem on a Windows 2000 machine - the machine is NOT in the Samba controlled domain, but in a different "real" NT 4.0 controlled domain. The user on this machine is able to mount "shares" from my Samba servers, but since moving to 2.2.3a his is denied access to printers. Strange is he can access files on the same server that

Greetings, Have built and have Samba 4.4.5 running on my test Solaris 10 server. Works just fine on there. It is set in /etc/system with ngroups_max=32 and is running as a member server in my university's AD domain. This morning trying to install 4.4.5 on a production server that had been running samba 3.6 - not "upgrade" but left the domain, installed the newer version of
