Hi all, Just migrated users to a samba 4 server on built on Solaris 11 samba pkg. Some users are mapping all required drives (G:, H:, and I:) but some are not able to map them. The affected users user log files indicate that the %g variable is being translated to '-1' instead of the users Unix group. I would welcome any feedback or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. >From my

I am attempting to have a Samba3-0.10 server join an NT domain with no success. Samba has been installed (./configure --with-syslog --with-acl-support) on a SunFire V240 with Solaris 9 as the OS. >From what I've read if the machine account exists on the domain then I should not have to provide a password. I am however being prompted for a password even though th account exists. I am

Hi, folks. I've got a weird situation here. I'm sure it's something small, but, well, either I've been cursed by a witch doctor, or my eyesight is getting too bad to find small problems. Either way, I'm more than willing to be pummeled for asking such a stupid question, as long as it helps me get it solved. I'm replacing an NT file server with a Samba box (hooray!).

I am running Samba 3.6.15 on a RHEL6 server. The server has been joined to the campus AD. The complaint I am getting from users is that this is much slower than other, earlier versions of Samba. We have older versions running on both RHEL4 and RHEL5, but this version on RHEL6 seems to be running much slower. One thing to note is that I had first installed and had Samba 4 working. But,

I'm stumped on getting Samba to work again on our small network. I've got one Windows 95 machine that started to refuse to talk to Samba last week. I *was* running one of the 1.9.18 releases, but when it stopped working, I figured I would delete the old release and do a clean install of 2.0.3. I've done that, and used SWAT to configure the smb.conf file (which can be seen below).

Hi, That 4. a.m. periodicity is logrotate restarting your samba in order to rotate it's logs... The "Processing section..." appears everytime a new smdb starts ( every new client connection to server, samba restarting, etc). If you want to force it, just restart your samba. Remember that windows caching may get in the way. So if you really want to be sure, restart also the Win

Hello. I'm in need of some help to shed some light on a strange problem. The box is running Samba 4.1.7 on FreeBSD 9.2/amd64 and I suspect (though I'm not sure) all troubles started after the upgrade from 4.1.6. The setup is quite simple: no AD, no LDAP, only one server. A command as simple as "smbclient -U user //SERVER/SHARE", if fired up several times in a row on the

Hi list, I've just upgrade my current samba config to 3.0.23c on Suse 9.1. x86 I join my active directory 2003 domain and 'getent passwd' works fine but each time I run 'getent group' winbind crash I deleted the winbindd_cache.tdb but nothing better wbinfo -u / wbinfo -g works wbinfo -t tells "checking the trust secret via RPC calls succeeded" Can someone help me I

Hi there, Been around Linux a while, new to Samba, know nothing about Windows. Installed Samba on vanilla Debian Lenny, the package manager gave me Samba 3.2.5, and it didn't work. Searching revealed that there are problems with that release so I tried a source install. Never did like Debian-out-of-date-and-patched-to-hell stuff anyway. The source install default locations are everywhere

Hello all. I've set up a Samba server on a Sun E280 box running Solaris 8. The server is part of a domain. I am having some problems printing. I can setup the printers on the Windows NT workstations using the Add Printer wizard. However, when I try to print I get inconsistent results. After installing the printer the workstation has to be restarted (sometimes more than once) before anything

Hi ! We updated our NT4 domain-server samba from 3.0.27a to newest available 3.6.5 version this weekend. I've done various testing in a VM to make sure that everything is working under 3.6.5 and it all seems to run well. After updating the live system to 3.6.5 the following log entries occur really often, but users don't have any noticable problems. ( Tried to find matching entries in

I am trying to configure samba on a Sunfire V125 with Solaris 9 using: - openldap-2.3.22 - libiconv-1.9.1 - samba-3.0.23a - krb5-1.6.3 (the previous build used krb5-1.5.1 Kereberos, openldap and libiconv are all installed but the samba build generates an error. The following works: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba \ --with-ldap \ --with-ads \

Hi list, I'm trying to set up a simple fileserver (Samba 4.1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04) as domain member, which delegates user authentication to AD (2k8R2) via Kerberos/NSS ? SSSD without using Winbind. I have SSSD up and running and things like getent passwd some-domain-user getent group some-domain-group chown some-domain-user:some-domain-group /tmp/foobar work just fine and show the

I'm having a problem with files locking so that every time the are opened up they are opened as Read-Only. Windows doesn't see them as readonly but Samba thinks that they are write=no and so they can't be saved or deleted. I've included a log, my smb.conf, and a getfacl of a user's home directory as well as a getfacl of the directory from /home. Any help would be

I am currently running Samba 2.2.8a in a production environment on a Unix box with Solaris 8. I am hoping to migrate and upgrade to Samba 3.0.10 on a Solaris 10 box. I am however having difficulties joining the NT domain with my new (still test server). Initially I provided the administrator with the ip address and the netbios name of the samba server so that a trust account could be created.

Dear all, I have created two virtual machines on my computer (With Vmware 5.5.3). One is running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Samba 3.0.22. The other one is runnung a WinXP SP2 client (name: test01). I can browse the shares of the Samba Server. Furthermore I can connect to them with different user names. When trying to join the client to the domain I get an error message that the

Hi all, Samba 2.2.8a is currently running on Solaris 8 as a member of a domain. For testing purposes I have installed Samba 3.0.10 on a test server (Solaris 9) a a member of a Workgroup. In a couple of weeks we will be upgrading our production server to Solaris 9 and are planning on doing a fresh install of Samba 3.0.10 at the same time. I will be saving the following files to be restored after

Hello again, I ancounter another problem. When a user logs in with a Windows XP Prof. machine he can't delete the file/folder again. He can add a file/folder and can do everything with it but but not delete it again. Not even a view to the seetings is possible (all "right-click" things don't work). When the user uses a Windows 2000 machine he can do everything just fine (create,

I am trying to ssh from one samba server (linux OS) to another samba server (Solaris OS). The keys and authorized_keys files are set up correctly with proper permissions but I keep getting prompted for a password. Has anyone had to deal with this before? Any suggestions for resolving would be appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daulton Theodore Carleton University Library Systems Department
