Attempting to install a fully virtualized instance of Windows 2003 fails on CentOS 5.2 x86_64 with xen-3.0.3-64.el5. After issuing the command... # virt-install --hvm -s 70 -f /vm/ts05/ts05.dsk -n ts05 --cdrom /download/Win2003x64/disk1.iso --vnc -r 1024 The script just hangs at... Creating domain...

I am trying to setup a way to watch each file that is created, updated, and deleted through samba. I have currently looked at inotify but I am not sure if that is the best way. What suggestions would you have to setup a way to get some type of event when one of these actions occur? I would like to watch a directory recursively and be able to run a shell script or perl script and that script know

Hi all, I have a samba PDC (with ldap), all ok for several months since today users experience very slow login, in my log I have : [2008/12/03 11:00:18, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2008/12/03 11:00:18, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users net sam

I have two CentOS servers running samba3-3.0.34-37. When I connect to a samba share from my Windows 2003 R2 servers, and then try to copy a file to it, I often get the message "target filesystem does not support long filenames." Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've been fighting this problem for 2 years. I've replaced my Windows servers, changed my Windows

I have samba 3.0.28 installed on several servers and winbind dies every couple of days on all of them. The deaths appear to correlate with the following log messages: [2009/01/25 04:02:09, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1655) PANIC (pid 13395): internal error [2009/01/25 04:02:09, 0] lib/util.c:log_stack_trace(1759) BACKTRACE: 14 stack frames: #0 winbindd(log_stack_trace+0x2d) [0x800ccc10] #1

There are three DCs in my Windows 2003 AD domain, but I have noticed that only one of them is referenced in my krb.conf and krb5.conf. Should there be a reference to one or two of the other domain controllers? If the DC goes down, how will my Samba/Winbind servers authenticate? -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - February 27, 2011 This email and any files

I have Samba running as File Server. Most workstation uses Windows XP and I usually map the samba drive to Windows. When I change password, users doesn't prompt to re-enter their password. It seems the password was cache on Windows and even though I already change the password, since they have previous connection, they have already granted access to that directory despite of the new password.

I've been struggling for almost 2 weeks to get Samba working on two new servers. When I try to open a Samba share from a Windows 2003 computer, I always get a logon challenge. I always get the following lot message [2008/11/13 16:05:06, 3] lib/util_sid.c:string_to_sid(228) string_to_sid: Sid MYDOMAIN\mygroup does not start with 'S-'. [2008/11/13 16:05:06, 2]

Our samba boxes are integrated with our Windows 2003 AD domain, with Windows servers acting as AD domain controllers. Everything is working fine, but in my krb.conf and krb5.conf files on my Linux boxes, I currently only have one Windows server specified as the AD logon server. If that server is down, I suspect that Linux users could not login. How to I specify more than one AD domain controller

We have three Windows domain controllers in our AD domain. They are DC01, DC02, and DC03. We have Linux (RHEL5 and 6) servers in the domain as well. The Linux servers are working fine with AD. However, they are currently configured in krb.conf and krb5.conf to use only DC01 for AD domain controller. if DC01 is down, Linux servers cannot authenticate. How do we configure the Linux servers to use

I have Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I just realized that the users can reset their passwords to anything, a single character a space. Is there anyway to prevent this?

We've seen Samba crash and burn twice in the last 48 hours - it just started happening, and we have no idea what might be causing it. I'm hoping that someone will recognize this problem. Platform: we are running RedHat Enterprise Server, with Samba 3.0.7. We're using security=domain in an old-style NT4 domain environment. The symptom that we're seeing is that the number of

We have about 40 samba servers in our domain. The two newest ones are throwing an error we've never seen before.

Hello all, I used to have share modes = no on all my application shares as they were accessed for read-only. I particularly put this on my netlogon share after someone got an exclusive lock on part of the login script! I find with 2.2.2 that share modes is no longer allowed and I get smbstatus lock entries for loads of application stuff which people should be locking. What is the 2.2.2

I have the following configuration on one of my file shares using 3.0.10. And I have found out that some users can get files off of the server and some cannot. The users that cannot connect get the error. "Incorrect password or unknown username" Connect as; Password: After playing around awhile I added one of the users to the computer with useradd. They were then able to

After reading this article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/31/blocking_chinese_ip_addresses/ I got to thinking that there is really no reason for *any* traffic to hit my servers that comes from anywhere outside North America. So I wrote the perl script at the end of this posting to extract selected IP ranges posted at iana.org and convert them into iptables rules blocking any traffic
