This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know what apple has done to samba on mac os x server? reading through the docs, it sounds like they have modified it to authenticate via netinfo. At the very least, they've done something so that rather than having an smbpasswd file, it stores the windows encrypted passwords in netinfo, and it authenticates incoming requests via netinfo rather

Due to the exploit in samba <2.2.8, we can no longer run the samba supplied by apple. Apple has not released any updates for OSX server 1.1.5 -- instead wanting us to upgrade to OSX server 10.2 for $900. I have been able to build the latest version of samba on max osX , but authentication is not working. What are the hooks needed to talk to the netinfo database for password information?

Hello all, I again am having a problem I stated a while ago. The machine is a mac osx server. I am limited samba 2.2.3 I believe. It was working great, the I change a netlogon script, which should make no difference. then I added a couple of shares to smb.conf. my smb.conf is designed after the one on afp548.com to make a mac into a win pdc. only the shares and names have changed really. the

I''m trying to configure my Rails app to use the subdomain as the account key. I''ve followed along with the HowTo [1], but under Mac OS X (10.4.3) I cannot get sub.domain.mine to map to 127.0.0.1. I''ve modified /etc/hosts as explained in "Dynamic Vhosts Working" [2], but I do not want to use Apache ... I''m using Webrick for development. Since this is

I''ve published the tarballs and whatever bad packages my publishing system knows how to create; look for more official debs, sun packages, and rpms in the near future, hopefully. Note that this is mostly a bug-fix release, and I expect it to be a pretty painless upgrade for most everyeone (but please, test before upgrading). Here''s the changelog: Compile times now

The latest release is finally out; here is the changelog: Mostly a bug-fix release, with the most important fix being the multiple-definition error. Completely rewrote the ParsedFile system; each provider is now much shorter and much more maintainable. However, fundamental problems were found with the ''port'' type, so it was disabled. Also, added

Right, well I've just downloaded the source tarball and compiled it all. Turned of Apple samba from 'server settings' and fired up smbd and nmbd by hand... With different log, lock and password directories to Apple samba, btw... /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a root /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a john So far so good. But

Well imitation is the highest form of flattery they say. So I''m surprised to see these packages neatly built to install into /opt/csw correctly and yet they exist somewhere else and have nothing to do with us here at Blastwave. fascinating. I guess we can always send an email to the person doing this and just ask if they want those packages in testing and then into the catalog for

Hi everybody I have installed SWAT services under MacOS X Server 10.3.3 by adding the service to Netinfo manager and set enabled = yes in /etc/xinet.d/swat file. I try to login as root in Safari (I have enabled the root account), but keep getting the messages that the name and the password is incorrect. Any ideas anyone ? Best regards Torsten

Hello! I'm tring to run Samba on a mac 10.1.3, using package xamba from xamba.sourceforge.net (which is samba 2.2.3a) and I have the following error in log.smbd: mbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(229) Unable to initgroups.

Hello all. There is some strange thing going on with our OS X clients. We have created a package which is run via SystemStarter. What it does? It parses /etc/fstab and mounts the NFS directories mentioned there. This is needed since we want to have static mounts and the NetInfo-automounter combination does not do static mounts (even with ttl=0 set for the mount, which is supposed to do a

Hi, I'm having problems connecting from a Mac OS X (v10.2) box to a Linux (Red Hat 9, kernel 2.4.23) box running Samba as a PDC. The Mac OS box is running Samba 2.2.3a (build 26), the Linux box running Samba 3.0.1. The problem seems to be the following: (this is a level 4 log, I think) [2004/01/13 10:41:18, 4] auth/auth_sam.c:sam_password_ok(227) sam_password_ok: Checking NT MD4

Anyone working on a port of OpenSSH to NeXT (I have a 3.3 Workstation at home). I started looking around and there are a few things that may need a bit of helping (NeXT version of GCC in the 3.3 days requires a bit more work to pass functions around as pointers and it looks like the compiler does not protect the header files from being recursively entered). I think the main thing would be to add

Server: SunOS 5.8 running, I believe, Samba 2.0.6 -- at least, log.nmb says: Netbios nameserver version 2.0.6 started. Client: M$WXP - everything works fine, perhaps because it has no concept of file ownership groups Client: Mac OS X 10.3.2, running the bundled Samba I have a number of shares defined on the server, including one for / so that I can get to anything on the machine with one

I just test samba 2.0.3 on Solaris 2.6/Sparc no NIS+. I just do an smbpasswd -a frank it woked, but it is not possible to change the password except i'm root.

Is anyone else having problems with W2K terminal services and a Samba PDC? I'm running Samba 2.2.3a on Mac OS X Server 10.1.2, set up as a PDC per the HOWTO instructions. I have a Windows 2000 Server running terminal services and Citrix Metaframe, which I've joined to the domain. I have a set of scripts that synchronize NetInfo passwords and smbpasswd passwords. Everyone can logon,

I suppose a few questions pop up on this list about access Samba through a firewall. ?I have been very successful running Samba through a firewall, until today. ?I hit a stumbling block. I have a Linux Firewall with the public IP Address of 134.x.x.140 <it is not the exact ip address, but close>. ?I am using NAT and port forwarding to send traffic destined for 137, 138,139, and 445 for BOTH

Hi, I'm trying to install dovecot on Mac OS X, and I'm having trouble to make it run. If someone could point me to what I'm doing wrong or suggest some documentation to read, I'd be very glad (I've search the wiki for Mac OS X specific documentation, but could not find any). I installed dovecot using darwinports. The version installed is 0.99.10.5. (It's running well
