similar to: samba server version removal

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

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

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

I did not get this finished last summer, so decided to just wait and do it this summer. I have setup my new samba server and was trying to get some things tweaked to the way that I want them. I thought that I had asked this before and that I could do it, but it seems that it does not work. My new server is running as a domain server just like the old. It has the same domain name and I change

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

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 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

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 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

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 seem to have my new server running fine. I do have a problem with my Windows Profiles though. I logged in as a local admin to copy user_oldserver_profile to user_newserver_profile, but I cannot do that since it shows the profiles from the oldserver as unknown. I am only going to copy a few of the admins profiles and the rest I am not worrying about. I see a couple of ways of doing this. I

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

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

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 get the following error when I check my mail a lot. I can keep refreshing until all errors are gone, then I am alright. This started happening when I turned on the serverside sorting in squirrelmail. How do I check to see which mails are causing this problem? ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: COPY 10223:10223 "INBOX.Trash" Reason Given: Internal error [2006-02-22

I have finally managed to sneak my way through setting up a Samba-3 and LDAP server. Everythng seems to be working fine. Don't really know much about LDAP, but I needed it and am learning to use it. Here is my question: I have two buildings (BLD1 and BLD2). The server in BLD1 is my server that is up now. I want to put a server in BLD2 that will use the users from BLD1, but will be

Ok, I seem to have everything back to normal, except for one thing that seems strange to me. I have 3 samba servers going for my domain, all using the LDAP database for usernames. I have my logon script that maps drives according to the groups that the users are in. I put the logonscript on each of the servers. I was assuming that whichever server accepted the logon, that would be the

If I want to make it to where a user cannot change his/her permissions on a file or directory, are 'nt acl support' and 'security mask' what I need to be using to do this? For example, I have it set so that when a student saves his file or creates a directory, both he and the teachers can access it, but no one else can. I want it to stay that way. I don't want the
