similar to: samba auth against imap?

I am trying to create a master share that contains all the other shares. I created a group that needs read+write permission to all the other shares. However, rather than adding this group in each share configuration, I was wondering if there is a way to overwrite the permission. I tried this but gave read-only access. Also in the linux level, I don't have this master group as the owner. Any

I have 19 servers with this smb.conf share definition working: [export] comment = Exported Files path = /tmp/export guest ok = Yes On the 20th server however, this just doesn't want to work. I've gone through the basics of guest access and permissions more than a few times trying to figure this one out. Approaching this from another angle, I tried the following

In samba documentation in : http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html There is references to apply policies in NT/2000 Server and winxp clients, but it's not clear to me that will run fine or not using samba 3.2.3+winxp machines.

Is it possible to have a "password-less" share available to only certain users? I've been searching all over and could not find anything.

I've got a paranoid client who has a samba server on a small LAN who wants to know if and when any of his employees 'transfer' (read, copy off etc) any more than a certain threshold of data a day from the server, I think he's worried that some employee may grab a lot of stuff off the server and then share it with his competition. I tried to explain that this wasn't a very

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to configure samba so that it does not use /etc/passwd for a list of users,group id's,etc. I am currently setting up a server to authenticate against AD. I have that configured fine. The overall goal here is to provide a samba backup to our existing fileserverserver. Here is the problem: we need a way to sync the info in /etc/passwd

smb.conf states "This user must exist in the passwd file, but does not require a valid login" What exactly does this mean? As I understand it, adding a user with 'smbpasswd -a nobody' automatically gives it a valid login. My reasons for asking are; I added myself to passdb.tdb with my passwd.

Was wondering if it's possible to assign specific users a proxy server for web browsing. My current setup is openldap, samba pdc and a squid proxy server. Our call center uses the web alot and I'd like to have them use the proxy. The agents don't usually login to the same windows machine. Is this possible via samba or netlogon? I'd hate to have to edit the group policies on 50

If I set up a room of Win XP Pro w/SP2 systems, hardened via local policy and gpedit.msc, and add them to a samba domain running from an unpatched, out-of-box install of RHEL 5.0, how will the local XP policies differ from any changes I make to pdbedit on the Samba side? Which takes priority/preference? Thanks. Scott

Hi, all: Just come across a strange problem with the usage of "net rpc ...". If a user's password has the dollar character, it will be discarded, thus cause login failure. For example, if username is "abc" and password is "$1111". I run the command: ======================================================= net rpc -I 12.34.56.78 -U abc%$1111 USER INFO abc
