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. The two versions of samba are too differnet to simply copy the config and tdb files over to the new box and the Mandrake box won't upgrade past 3.0.10. I could really use some suggestions. Thanks The problem when I do that is the Centos box with Samba

I've a server running CentOS 5, Samba 3.0.23c and OpenVPN-2.1beta4 A laptop running Vista connects to the server over VPN. The CentOS server is local, domain and preferred master, and also WINS server. It looks like every once in a while the Vista laptop drops the VPN connection, which gets re-established soon after that. But the problem is, it appears that after the dropout the Vista

Dear all, I have recently configured a samba server that I have a strange problem with, but it is not really consistent. I would be grateful for any help I can receive.

Instead it shows my computer name (client) followed

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

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

Hi everyone. I have two windows machines logging into my Linux machine via nxclient. One via a LAN and the other coming in through the internet. Both are sharing one printer and one folder.

Hi, I exposed few days ago this situation on the IRC, but unfortunately I haven''t found a way to solve it yet. I run the Puppet Master with multiple environments, and everything is working good but a couple of nodes that are causing me some troubles. These nodes are pointing to my production environment and I need to point them back to development to grab some changes I made. I

Hi all, Just wanted to let you guys know that I put together a "High Level" Samba How-to that I believe is very informative for "Samba Beginners". I wrote it using Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server as part of a book I promised a few clients that I contract for - although I did write it in such a way that it can be used for virtually any GNU/Linux Distribution. I wrote

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

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

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
