similar to: New samba server

I am not sure if this is where I need to ask this or not, but I am lost to where to start even. I had 7 computers in one lab that would not login. It gave the standard "computer account password bad or domain not found". I had another 9 computer in my other lab do the same thing. It seems that they have suddenly started losing the domain. I can add them to a workgroup and then

I am setting up a new samba server that is going to replace my old one. Here is the question that I have. Am I going to have to go around to each computer on campus and have it rejoin the domain when I put the new server in place? If that is the case, can I set the SID on the new samba server to be the same as the old samba server and will that do the trick so that I do have to go around to

It seems my logins are taking a long time to get logged in. I am guessing that it is worse when classes start and a lot of the kids try to login at once. My old server did not seem to have this problem though and we have the same number of students. Where should I start looking at this? I am guessing that it is ldap, but want to make sure. If I log in at a computer and go to start->run and

I have fought with these before. I finally got them down the way that I wanted them, but I was wanting to set this up a bit different. I want to make sure that there is no way to do this without actually having to assign a bunch of different drive letters to shares. I basically one one Drive letter assigned to the top of the directory. Underneath that directory there will be several others and

Well, I am still having problems with my samba server. For some reason, I cannot add all of the users in. I am running a batch useradd program. I can get about 450 or so added in, then it gives me an error that the user does not exist when I go to add the last 60 or so. My batch program actually reads in the users name and then does something like: /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -a -u

Ok, I have played with this some more. Here is my setup. I have a local network 10.0.x.x/255.255.0.0 I have an off site network 192.168.0.x/255.255.255.0 The samba server is also my wins server and has the ip 10.0.0.2 on my local network. This is the only NIC in the Samba server. My firewall/router server shows the following from netstat -r

Here is my problem. I installed the OpenLdap 2.4.10 server and SASL client. I then went to install the Samba 3.0.30 Port and it tells me that it needs to install OpenLDAP client 2.3.42, but the 2.4.10 is in the same place and I need to deinstall it. I deinstall 2.4.10 and samba will install, but now openldap will not run because it has missing files. I went to reinstall the 2.4.10 SASL client,

I have the following setup. I have a 10.0.x.x network that has my samba server on it. I have a filter/firewall that has a 10.0.x.x NIC and a 192.168.x.x NIC in it. The 192.168.x.x network is a wireless network for a building up town. Can I have the computers from the 192.168.x.x network logon to my samba domain? I was going to try and add a remote announce in for the 192.168.x.x network and see

I am working on my permissions and something does not quite make sense to me. Here is what I have set. /DIR (Unix permissions are 3777) Then in samba I have the following [dir] path = /DIR read only = no valid users @teach @student create mask 3660 directory mask 3770 Then from a windows workstation, I create a new directory inside 'dir', and call it 'teach'. The

My passwords have expired again in my LDAP/Samba setup. I have been reading in the Samba How-To and just want to make sure this is what I need to do before I try it. If I want to have my passwords expire in the year 2015, do I need to do the following to all of my users? pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time="2015-01-01" --time-format="%Y-%m-%d" username Using the ldap-usermod

I had this problem some last year and never got it figured out. Now it is bugging me. It seems that sometimes when a student writes his/her file to a directory, it will not keep the correct group. It puts his/her main group as the group owner and that fouls things up. Here is what I have. Unix Permissions /school 3777 admin.teacher /school/bhs 3777 admin.teacher /school/bhs/reese

I have a friend that had a samba server go down. They switched to another server and are having problems with people logging into it from Windows 98. If the same user logs in from WinXp then everything works otherwise they get an error. He also said that the smb.conf files were the same on both servers. >From the errors it almost looks like some sort of permission problem, but since it logs

I have a problem with some Samba permissions. Here is the share. [bhs] path = /school/bhs read only = no valid users = @teacher @admin @bhs create mask = 660 force create mode = 2660 directory mask = 770 force directory mode = 3770 T: is mapped to a DFS share with permissions 3777, then the 'bhs' share is a link in the DFS share. I get inconsistent

Is there some way to remove that label from showing up on the shares on the windows client? I tell my teachers to look for the F: drive or whichever drive, but for some reason MS in their infinite wisdom puts the drive letter at the end of the share so it does not show up unless the windows is expanded so that it can be seen. (and even though I have told them how to see the letter, most cannot

I have a samba server setup with LDAP. Before I was using LDAP, I could get a list of users and groups with my perl script by using the getgrent and getpwent routines. I cannot use this anymore, because for some reason, these routines do not see all of my users. They only see up to a certain point. If I do a 'getent passwd' from the command line, it only shows up to certain number of

Hi there, i have a samba PDC with a mix of w2l and XP clients connecting. FOr some reason the network logon scripts will not execute. I have made sure they are dos format, and the permissions are correct..... yet I can;t get it to work! Here is my samba.conf: [global] workgroup = IHPR server string = Samba Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50

I have a Samba 3 server setup using LDAP for the backend. I keep getting a message that the passwords will expire. This happened about a month ago and I did not worry about it, because my XP machines kept telling me this last year, but they never expired. I figured it was something to do with XP and not my Samba server. This year though, with my new server, they did expire and I had to

I have my new servers up and going with Samba and LDAP on them. Now I have to add my users. Here is my problem. I have written a perl script that reads a file and adds users to different groups depending on what grade they are in and it also generates a random password, that it exports to a master list. The old script would add the user to unix and then to samba, along with the password
