Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

Hi all, I'm currently migrating from tdbsam to LDAP and want to restructure my setup at the same time. I can get the SIDs for the user and machine accounts using pdbedit -Lv | grep SID but I have 800 users so I don't want to reset their passwords. So far, I've dumped the contents of the tdbsam database into an smbpasswd backup file and am running john-the-ripper across it.

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. Yesterday, I tried to add a new machine to the network and received the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: The password of this user has expired Not a problem I thought, and then ran smbldap-usermod -e "2010-12-30 00:00:00" root to extend the password date. If I now try to connect a

Hi All, I have a tdbsam backend on Samba PDC and am trying to set a user up as a domain admin. I read that instead of the old admin users line in smb.conf you now use net groupmap to map unix groups to NT groups. I have a user called toni in unix group admins and have run: net groupmap add rid=512 ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=admins running: net groupmap list gives: Domain

Hi All, I'm trying to run a school CAD app called Prodesktop in wine 0.9.46 and have a problem with the detection of colour depth. X is set to run at 1024x768 which is fine as far as the app goes and the colour depth is set to 24 bit. When the app runs, it complains that it requires 16 bit colour, or greater and then shuts down. Is this a problem anyone else has run into possibly with a

Hi All, I am hoping to set up machine based logins on our Samba server (3.0.21c/RedHat EL4). I have the following lines in the global section to my smb.conf: [global] add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb add

Hi all, I'm trying to add printers with cupsaddsmb on Samba 3.0.20 (Mandrake Linux) with an LDAP backend. I've followed the howto on the samba page and have the error: result was WERR_INVALID_PRINTER_NAME generated when I run it. So far I've Googled for the solution but nothing listed has helped. The full set of errors are as follows: Cupsaddsmb returns:

Hi all, I'm running Samba 3.0.13 on Mandrake 10.2 (LE2005) and have mounted the shares on an NT4 server to rsync the files over to the Samba box. The only thing is that Linux sees the dual Xeons in the server as four CPUs and the first core on CPU1 hits 100% while the files are copying over. Every so often, CPU1, core 2 takes over (at 100%) for a short period and then core 1 goes back to

To anyone out there who's having problems joining their Samba/LDAP domain with XP here's a solution. The main symptom is that the XP join domain gui returns a "user cannot be found" error. The setup that I experienced this on was configured and managed using the smbldap-tools package. Usual disclaimer applies if it fails to work, you are responsible for backing up your

Hi All, I have a problem with a growing network. I inherited the network at about 200 machines and it's now reached 300 at which point the cracks are starting to show. I have no budget to speak of but need to up the bandwitdh so I'm looking at sticking an extra Gigabit NIC into my PDC and splitting the network into two subnets. I have two kinds of data, static and dynamic. Static files

I want to suspend a script using a signal but that does not work as I want. I made an example script: $ cat script #!/bin/bash echo $$ gkrellm If run this script gkrellm starts up and I can use job control from the terminal to suspend the script (CTRL-Z) and resume it (fg or bg). If I suspend I can see that gkrellm freezes (that's why I choose gkrellm in this example): $ ./script 23632

Hi all, I had the following line in my smb.conf with which to log access to the home share when users logged in: preexec = /bin/echo \"%u logged in to %m at %T\" >> /var/log/samba/logons.log Since updating to LDAP however, it's stopped working and I suspect that smbldap cant handle the % substitutions for user, machine and time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If

Just a heads up, since I know gkrellm is in EPEL and not in the main CentOS repos. However, something fairly fundamental has changed, as prior to updating, gkrellm worked fine, but now every time I execute gkrellm the kernel panics. I'm going to triage on a different machine, as the panic corrupted at least one system library used by nautilus, but rpm -Va is your friend in these

For what it's worth, back in April of last year I reported that gkrellm had started generating kernel panics with 7.1503's kernel. I can now report that with the latest 7.1511 kernels (327.4.5 being the latest I have installed) gkrellm is once again behaving for me. Just wanted to close the loop and say that whatever had broken has been fixed, for my hardware.

Hi all, How does X server work well on dom0 in general? I''m experiencing frequently drawn gabages and sometimes crashes and hangs (100% cpu) of certain X applications. Usually on my deskstop, gnome-panel, sawfish, krxvt, firefox, and gkrellm are only present. gnome-panel (and some applets) and firefox crash sometimes. Sawfish in addition to the two above draws garbage. krxvt and

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I am not quite sure if this is the place to post, so have me excused if I am in error. I've just upgraded my gkrellmd (daemon-only) to 2.1.16 (from 2.1.15), but when attempting to restart the daemon I get gkrellmd select() failed: Invalid argument I though 'darn, i have to go back to the old version', and tried to reinstall the

Hi all, Just a quick question about login scripts for a large number of users who change rooms a lot. I have several rooms each with a printer, and nearly a thousand users divided into two main groups - pupils and teachers who change rooms on a routine basis. Is it possible to set up multiple login scripts that would be executed in sequence i.e. run by user is %u, and machine is %m is it

Hello, I just thought I would write this in case its useful to anyone. I've used dovecot for a while, as its so easy to set up, its fast and it and just "works". I recently wanted to be able to send via my server after pop3s authentication. I'm also running debian (testing) which utilises exim4 by default. I found no information about how to do it with this combination of
