Can I deploy software/applications through group or domain policy with samba?

Hi, im trying to setup a password policy with samba and openldap. while lockout works perfect on openldap it looks like it does not work with my samba. Ive set "sambaLockoutThreshold" to 3 and "sambaLockoutDuration" to -1 (lockout forever) within the Domain-Object in LDAP. So i expect whenever a windows user does 3 false logon attemps his samba account will be LOCKED

Hello, is it possible to let samba update the DNS entries in our bind DNS server whenever a windows PC connects to the network ? Bye Andreas

Hello I want to add Win7 machine to my Samba PDC with WinXP clients. Google tells me I have to add a .V2 to my profiles. The samba log ask about a .v2 share. Can someone explain me the difference of the v2 extension at the profile names and the roaming profile share? Following my settings: smb.conf: [global] logon path = \\%L\nt-profile logon home = \\%L\nt-profile [nt-profile]

Hi, i have a samba server setup on debian to use a server 2k3 AD for auth. This works perfectly fine what doesnt work, is ACL permissions.

Hi, I have configured a samba PDC with a logon script. The logon script includes dos commands to map a drive letter for different shares. One share has user home directory, one has common folder for all the users and other share is group share. For assigning a drive letter to group share I have used the command "net use g: \\%L\group\%G" but group share drive is not mounting for any of

Hello, I've setup a PDC with Samba 3.0.23 and a ldap-backend. Roaming Profiles are working, but I always have the desktop.ini visible in some folders of the Windows-Startmenue. I found several hints for the dos-attributes in smb.conf, buit notthing seems to work. Any hints? Here is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = example server string = b-login passdb backend

Hi list, I can't make idmap talk to my LDAP server. And I haven't found an updated howto. Some entries from log.windbindd-imap: [2012/04/13 20:05:40.500475, 5] winbindd/idmap.c:153(smb_register_idmap) Successfully added idmap backend 'ldap' [2012/04/13 20:05:40.501112, 5] winbindd/idmap.c:153(smb_register_idmap) Successfully added idmap backend 'tdb' [2012/04/13

I have about 60 PC's running windows XP behind vpn routers in different locations. I find that they lose connection or sync (or whatever the right word is) to the domain periodically, probably when the vpn shuts down due to low demand. The result is that any domain user not already in the local password hash cache cannot log in and any local share with domain permissions on it will not

I have: *389 Directory Server (v1.2) with about 100+ current and active users. *Separate SAMBA server that I would like to use LDAP credentials to authenticate with.

I know this has come up a bit in the past, but consider this situation: Two Samba4 DC's - and I want to "mirror" the data shares to the "backup" DC in case we lose the primary DC and it's file shares. [A cheap, dirty, poor-mans semi-CTDB. How did you ever guess that Red Green was helping me?!] The easiest way is probably rsync'ing the data. However, will that

Hi. I have two servers located in two different time zones. I want to know if there is a way to keep the shares synchronized. Right now what i thought is to run rsync from Server A to Server B . However the issue is say Server B has a new version of the file in server A and that should not be overwritten but should be copied back to server A. How to go about this? Regards Janantha

Hi, all -- I am trying to write a script in which I can add users and their samba passwords easily and quickly.? It looks something like: ?? useradd -c "User Name" -g groupname -p unixpassword accountname ?? echo -e "smbpassword\nsmbpassword\n" | pdbedit -a -t -u accountname If I type the lines from the keyboard, it works fine.?

Hi -- I have what I hope is a minor configuration problem. My PDC is configured so that it works just fine. I am trying to set up an additional domain server (not PDC or BDC), so that students can get to the material on the server.? When I type "net use w: \\water\archive" (where water is the domain server and archive is a share), I invariably get the message that I need to input a

Hello all, Im Fran, and im from Spain. Im currently using an english book to setup my samba server, and im having problems understanding it. I explain my problem.

If I have 3 columns of data, col 1 = Independent Var; cols 2 and 3 are Dep. Vars. I would like to produce a plot with both: col2=f(col1) and col3=f(col1). How do I do this such that I can control line parameters (line type, color, etc). I know that if I stack the data and col2 and col3 are treated as different factor levels, that I can accomplish this, but lose control over the line

Hi all, I''m getting my feet wet in the infiniband lake and of course I run into some problems. It would seem I got the compilation part of sles11 kernel 2.6.27 + Lustre 1.8.3 + ofed 1.4.2 right, because it allows me to see and use the infiniband fabric, and because ko2iblnd loads without any complaints. In /etc/modprobe.d/lustre (this is a Debian system, hence this subdir of

This is interesting, and it led to a bit more sleuthing.? I can log onto the PDC with any user ID/password; doesn't have to be mine.? Then I can access the share on the additional domain server using the user name/password of anybody with a smbpasswd password.? But with security = DOMAIN, shouldn't it look on the password server, in this case the PDC, for the proper password?? Is it really
