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 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.

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 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 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

Hello, I have two Samba 3.0.22 PDCs and each trust each other. When I add an user of each domain to the permissions of a file on a windows machine (W2k, WXP), it shows for them DOMAIN\USERNAME. Everything is fine. But when i close the permission window and reopen it, then the user out of the trusted domain is only shown as SID. The one of the own domain is resolved fine. This happens on clients

But when the problem existed, the new mails were in cur/, not new/ and dovecot would not report any new messaged to the

List, Thanks tremendously to JC and JHT for guiding (nay, kicking) me toward getting ACLs to work on RHAS3. Reading the RH sysadmin guide about ACLs and searching elsewhere, as well as thinking for myself, were also a pre.
