Our Samba server was recently the recipient of a major upgrade. I thought all the kinks were worked out, but apparently not. I think this is the first time I've tried to join a machine account to the domain since the upgrade. I've tried using smbldap-tools and also just using smbpasswd (I have my users in LDAP). I'll also say that 'net join' works just fine from my Samba

Hi, I'm having trouble getting asterisk to report MWI to a Cisco CCME. I record a message in mailbox 29, but the subsequent MWI notifications I see continue to report no messages waiting. Are they reporting for the wrong mailbox? Is there some other option I have to set or change? I'm running asterisk-1.4.22 Since the mailbox is in [home] in voicemail.conf, I've tried things like

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb. Just compiled 3.0.8 on the new server (which has the same hostname), copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/lib and copied th secrets.tdb to /usr/local/samba/private. Started Samba, did 'net getlocalsid' and it

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

Hi all, I have two systems using Win98 and one using Win95. These three systems do not automatically execute their login scripts. I can map the network drives manually and tell them to reconnect at login, but I am wondering why they don't execute them. I can log in, browse to my netlogon share (if I make it browseable), and execute the script manually, and it works. Well, it mostly

Hi all, I need to migrate profiles from one running domain to another. I can't use the standard Windows Profile tools, because when I am a member of one domain, profiles for the other domain say "Account Unknown" and the Copy function is disabled. I can't get interdomain trusts working and have no responses to my email about that, so I am looking for another way to get

When I used smbldap-populate way back when I set up my LDAP server, I got two sambaDomainName objects in my LDAP tree -- one for the domain name (CORP) and one for the PDC Netbios name (CORPSRV). My Windows XP systems complain that they can't find the PDC for the domain CORPSRV. I am wondering if I even need the second sambaDomainName in LDAP at all. Any ideas? Misty

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who

I've got one user that I just put onto the new Samba 3.0.8 server. He's on WinXP SP1. He has a ton of icons and things on his desktop (39M worth of data according to his profile) but I'm not sure if that is a problem. When he logs in, a few of his icons which point to network applications have only the default Windows shortcut image. If he right-clicks the Desktop and clicks

OK, I just took my first non-root user live on my Samba 3.0.7 system. Printing is via cups, with drivers stored in the print$ share. This user is a local power user. She can add printers, or root can add them. Root can also print from them. If this user tries to print anything (a test page even) she gets a non-verbose error that looks like a permissions error. She can view the queues

Hi all, I've got a share called [ACCOUNTING] with the following share definition: [ACCOUNTING] path = /data/samba/shares/Accounting valid users = @acct @"Domain Admins" browseable = yes public = no read only = no force group = acct Here is the permissions on the directory: oink:/data/samba/shares # ls -ld /data/samba/shares/Accounting drwxrwxr-x 9 root acct 4096 Nov 29 09:30

Hi, I'm a tad confused about something. I've got a production instance of Samba running. I am trying to get a test version running on the same box, with the same SID. Without the test server running, I used "net setlocalSID <oldsid>" (the net binary is the one for the new server). Then when I issued 'net getlocalsid' it returned it. I thought I was fine.

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as

When I set up my initial users for the Samba domain i did not realize that RIDs were supposed to be dynamic. I was creating the user as a posixAccount in LDAP, and then adding the Samba elements via a script that I wrote. Their RIDs are the same as their UID. For instance if I have a user with uidNumber 1036, her SID would be <domain-SID>-1036. This is fine except for idmapping for

Right now, I have all of my Samba stuff under ou=corp,dc=mycompany,dc=com. I have it this way because there used to also be ou=furn,dc=mycompany,dc=com with a different domain. Now that I only have one domain, I would like to move everything to dc=mycompany,dc=com. So I copy all of the subentries of ou=corp (ou=computers, ou=people, ou=grooups, and the sambaDomainName entries) to

While trying to solve my printer problem, I have come up with another question that Google is not helping me with. What happens to a print job after Samba submits it to Cups? Is it 'finished' even though Cups is still printing it? Is that why my users aren't seeing their print jobs, because Cups has already snatched them and Samba assumes they are done? I would much rather if

I've upgraded successfully to 3.0.6 finally. As part of that upgrade, I configured the print$ share and installed the printer drivers into it. I've been using the Laserjet 4 Plus driver with great success. However, when I configured the printer to use this driver stored on the server, everything printed fine except for Excel documents! Excel gives the error in "print

Is this setup possible? I am converting an old server to look on LDAP for its UNIX account info. I am able to auth in every way with a LDAP-only user (login, telnet, ssh, su). However, after adding the user with smbpasswd -a, the password doesn't work: [root@furnsrv log]# smbpasswd -a testuser New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Added user testuser. [root@furnsrv log]# smbclient

Hi all, I'm writing a script, and one thing it does is the following: ssh someuser@somehost /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod -a -P some.samba.user If I left off the -P all works fine. With the -P it does not prompt me for the password on my screen, but it seems to have done it on the host I am ssh'ing to. I straced the command on that host and I am stuck at a read() call. However,

I just moved a new user onto my Samba server. He needs two things, and neither of them work! 1. When he tries to access one of the printers, he gets Access denied. Only for one of them. I can't find anything in the logs. When I try to access the printer as his user, I get: [2004/12/06 11:16:59, 5] smbd/uid.c:change_to_root_user(296) change_to_root_user: now uid=(0,0) gid=(0,0) I
