Linux Plays a Role in 'Titanic,' Photos By NASA, but Can It Take On Microsoft? By SEAN DAVIS Dow Jones Newswires [From The Wall Street Journal, April 3, 1998, page B7B] NEW YORK-The makers of "Titanic" used it to render the hit film's special effects. NASA uses it to stitch together pictures of Earth. It is free to anyone who wants it, but at least two companies are

Running client and server on Ubuntu 9.10. Version 3.0.6 on both sides. After the SSH connects, both rsyncs are started, but before it starting scanning for files, it just hangs. strace says they are both waiting on select() (I can attach strace files if necessary). This setup used to work, but had not worked for some time. I just now have had the time to investigate. Please let me know what I

Hi, Summary In my testlab I have a Samba pdc setup. All is running fine except for 1 problem. I have a user (B) that cannot login without a network connection, the error message is: "there are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request". When I plug in the network cable I can login again. When I do a network-less login as another user (A) on the same machine I can

Folks, This posting is made so that others who search for infromation on how to configure Samba for username and password caching will find it. Samba does not control client-side password caching. Caching of domain logon credentials is a client-side activity. There are registry settings on the Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Profesional clients that control logon credential caching.

Hi list, My brand new samba network is working pretty good, ironing out some glitches. Win XP users cannot change their password. I use SaMBa as a domain-controller with an LDAP backend. A stripped down version of the config is below. I set minimum password length to 8, trying to change the password to a 7 char long gives me the messages that the password does not meet requirements. So that

Hello, I've set up Samba 3.0.22 on an Ubuntu box for testing purposes. Below is my smb.conf file. The Samba server, ubuntu, is on the other side of a Linksys WRTP54G router, serving NAT to my Windows XP clients on the inside. I've opened port 139 on the router, set up NetBEUI, placed entries in the clients' hosts & lmhosts files. For some reason, the clients can logon to

Hello, I've installed samba 3.0.24 recently and since then I cannot login on my Windowsclients if they are disconnected. If I have a connection everything is fine. I'm at a loss what else to do. The only hints for offline logons I've found all refer to the use of samba with ADS. I have only one samba server in my network(no winbind). The clients are unchanged to my prior

Hi This is what i want to do : each windows pc will have its own /home/username on this samba server. for example i have added 3 users so far and my .conf is like this : [george] comment = Home path = /home/george #valid users = %S read only = no browsable = yes [trandism] comment = Home path = /home/trandism read only = no browsable = yes [xristoforos] comment =

Hello, we have a somewhat unusual setup: - currently, Windows 2000 workstations in a NT4-Style domain with a samba 3 server as PDC. User account data for both UNIX and Samba is kept in LDAP. - now, several workstations should be migrated to Ubuntu, using the same LDAP directory (and NFS homes) for User account data. Users need to be able to share files with windows workstations, using samba. I

Hi, I have a ClearOS 7.8 system which is running samba-4.10.4-11.el7_8.x86_64, and it upgraded to this just over a week ago (probably not relevant). A couple of days ago all the group shares failed. I discovered that if I switched them to the built-in group "allusers" the share worked fine. It fails for any user-defined group but it used to work. Samba is running as a PDC and the

Hi All, I have setup my samba as a PDC and testparm gives me the right result, but when I am trying to add my XP client to SAMBA I receive an error as "Logon failure: bad username or password" or "Username could not be found". I am using root as the domain administrator and have added root account using smbpasswd and can see it using pdbedit -Lv. I can logon successfully

Hi all, I have a Samba PDC setup and i was wondering if anyone knows how i can force the users to change passwords ever x days. My network consists of windows type machines as was as linux based machines. Any help would greatly be apprecitated.

I'm running into issues trying to configure a server to be a Samba PDC in a small network that contains only Win2k/XP workstations. This will be going into an environment where there are no Windows server. There is a pre-existing Samba server that will be replaced, but it'll be easier to recreate user accounts than attempt migration (there were no machine accounts). Due to

I didn't get any answers so I try again: I am using tdbsam as passdb backand. I have added root user with pdbedit. The machine trust account was added on the fly. I have added the user with pdbedit. I have created the user in /etc/passwd. When the user logs in from a W2k and mounts the home-directory I noticed that Samba didn't take the home-directory information from tdbsam, it

Hi *, after upgrade from 2.2.8a to 3.0.4, I'm suffering from ~10 min. delays on login/first access of a share from a WinXPpro client to a samba 3.0.4 PDC (SuSE 9.0). This is printed in the logs: [2004/06/16 11:58:20, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(288) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2004/06/16 11:59:20, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(288) setting sec ctx (0, 0) -

I have a Fedora 17 Linux box and a HP Laser Jet Professional P1102 attached via USB cable. I can send print job to this printer from the Linux box and it works fine. I use CUPS system for printing. I have another computer laptop that has Windows 7 as the operating system and I like to share files and printer that is attached to this Linux box. Therefore, I decided to install Samba version
