similar to: Convert idmap_rid to idmap_hash?

Is it possible for the uid/gid numbers that are generated by the idmap_rid and idmap_hash to collide if there are a large number of users or groups? I cannot seem to find any documentation on the limitations of these plugins. Before using I want to make absolutely sure that there won't be any collisions. In doing some research about Likewise Open, I see it's hashing routine can have

I've looked around and can't find the answer. We have a Samba file server joined to our Active Directory and using ACLs. We are enforcing quotas on this machine, but when specifying the home directory, the directory is owned by the person who created it. Using Windows and going into the security permissions, there doesn't seem to be a way to remove the owning user/group. When you hit

We have a user trying to share a OneNote 2007 notebook and it takes minutes to load a 20 KB notebook. I've opened a 500 KB Excel spreadsheet from the same share and it took seconds.

I've been trying to get Kerberos to work for the last couple of days so that we can use SSO. I can't seem to get past a roadblock and Google doesn't seem to provide any answers. I've got Samba connected to the AD and running. I can wbinfo everything and can login to the machine using PAM with the pam_winbind modules just fine. I can get user tickets just fine. When I try to get ssh

Ok, I can't seem to search for the right thing to get what I need. I'm looking for a solution where if quota or some other mailing system needs to send an email to an Active Directory user, that it uses the email address listed in Active Directory for that user. We are connected to Active Directory using winbind, on one system we are using pam_winbind, on another we are not. Of course,

I'm trying to think about how to setup a Samba system and would like to pick the brains of some experts. We are looking up put a large amount of storage ~75TB in a central data center. We have some remote (ok, not remote, but across slower links, ok if you consider several hundred clients over 1Gb to be slow) locations that we would like to set up samba servers that 'cache' the file

In 1.6.0, when creating a MDT, you could specify multiple --mgsnode options and it would failover between them. 1.6.3 only seems to take the last one and --mgsnode=192.168.1.252 at o2ib:192.168.1.253 at o2ib doesn''t seem to failover to the other node. Any ideas how to get around this? Robert Robert LeBlanc College of Life Sciences Computer Support Brigham Young University leblanc at

Hi, I actually have to install another samba server connected to Active directory by using winbind. All works ok, but i have a little problem. In fact if i use getent |grep user on server1, the output is the following: server1:~# getent |grep user user:*:20083:20040:USER:/home/user:/bin/bash server1:~# on the second one server which use the same AD and the same configuration file exept for

Before I beat myself over this... Iv'e set-up shadow_copy2 and it works great for XP,2003,Vista and 2008. Windows 7 however does not find any previous versions of the files. Anyone aware of a problem or a solution? We are running 3.4.2 on Debian Squeeze. Thanks, Robert LeBlanc Life Sciences & Undergraduate Education Computer Support Brigham Young University

I'm wondering if I'm seeing a regression of 5616 with 3.4.8. I'm trying to set-up pptpd with winbind, which I'm doing on two machines on Debian lenny, and I'm trying on Debian Squeeze now. The Windows client is saying "Error 778: It was not possible to verify the identity of the server." The logs say that everything is ok, and that the client is hanging up the

I''ve been using btrfs as a spool space on our back-up server to get familiar with it and things work fine until the volume fills up. Our backup software (bacula) usually spools until the volume is full, then despools and respools, etc. With btrfs, it fills up and bacula thinks there is still space so it keeps trying and then finally errors out. I thought this was a problem because I was

Hello, I have enough details on how to have Linux users authenticate to a 2003r2 AD, but I need help getting their home dir's to automatically mount to a windows share. Any details would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, James

Hi all, According to this bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566977 This particular error is actually a bug in the samba code. Does anyone know if there are patches that fix this ? Adding "allow_weak_crypto = true" to /etc/krb5.conf does not solve this for me :( Has anyone got a working solution for this ? -Alex IMPORTANT: This email remains the

Hi, I'm using a domain where the DNS is hosted by a couple of domain controllers on the network, outside of my control. I do have ability to work with group policy and active directory users and computers. I was able to join a samba/linux computer to the domain using 'net rpc join -S <IP of local DC/DNS server>'. This caused an entry for the computer to show up in Active

Hello samba gurus, I have a couple of questions regarding Linux file systems, and their ability to mimic NTFS, and the other question is regarding winbind and its uncanny ability to virtually lock up a samba AD member server once connectivity to the AD is lost. I apologize if anyone gets annoyed by this question. Environment: I am using samba 3.2 with XFS+ACL support joined as a AD domain member

I wonder if I am seeing the problem mentioned here http://old.nabble.com/samba-3.2-breaks-ppp-winbind-plugin-td18715806.html. I can connect a WIndows PPTP client just fine if using chap-secrets, but when I use the winbind plugin, the client says that it can not authenticate the server (both are on the same domain). They said it was resolved in 3.2, but we are using 3.4.3. Is it possible this bug
