similar to: useradd and groupadd very slow

Hi, I can't get access to any shares when running "smbclient //DUCK/test -U Dominic". I'm getting the message: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME I'm pretty sure it's authenticating properly as it says "session setup ok" in the debug output. If I enter the wrong password I get: "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" I'm

The munin rpms from EPEL failed to install correctly on a particular machine. This is why # /usr/sbin/groupadd -r munin groupadd: Can't get unique system GID (no more available GIDs) # but I don't understand why this happens. Even after checking the man pages for groupadd and login.defs, I have been unable to determine what the settings for SYS_GID_MIN/SYS_GID_MAX on RHEL/CentOS are.

Hi, Is there an equivalent of a useradd for systems that are using LDAP user management? I know I can build an LDIF file and import it, but it is a bit of a pain to do it manually all the time. Is there not an easier / faster way? Thanks, Eric

Hi there, I have been googling all morning, and have thus far not come up with a solution...

Sorry, I didn't read what you said carefully enough -- it's trying to create a system group. Still, looking inside of /etc/group to see what system groups already exist is probably a good idea.

Hi, do ports 445 and 139 (incoming) have to be open for the samba server's IP on WinXP client side (all WinXP clients are using netbios over TCP/IP)? F-Secure 7.10 blocks all incoming microsoft-ds (445) and netbios-ssn (139) by default, which ends up in very slow printer-shares behaviour (for example opening the properties or the spool window of a samba-printer takes up to 30 seconds). For

Hi, I'm having problems moving/renaming files as a member of. I tried to move "test.txt" from "\\files\public\" to "\\files\public\OfficeWork". Here's the error I get in windows: *Cannot move test: access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.* Here's the error log: *[2009/01/20 15:10:34, 2]

Hi, I'm attempting to migrate an NT4 domain to Samba3, and getting quite frustrated with stuff that seems not to work as advertised. I'd appreciate any help. I've set up an OpenLDAP server, and Samba 3, configured it as a BDC, and tried running "net rpc vampire". This all works, and Samba does the appropriate stuff to try and populate the LDAP database. The scripts I've

Hi there, I have a samba install on centos 5 with the latest version of samba (samba-3.0.33-3.28). There were two files that just disappeared. The users description is as below: I had worked on them ? both were excel files that linked to each other. I saved it as a different name than the original I worked from (which I found to be very ?buggy?) ? the originals are still in their respective

Hi people: I'm running Samba 3.0.33 and 3.3.5 (both just for testing at different installations) under CentOS Linux 5.5. My Samba server is configured as PDC with an LDAP backend based on OpenLDAP+smbldaptools+gosa. I understand this: 1. Every Windows machine has a local Administrators group. 2. When a Windows machine joins my Samba domain (named MYDOM), the group "MYDOM\Domain

Hi, I have a strange issue and wanted some help to resolve , I had searched on google but couldn't found suitable answer for the same. Well, Let you know the scenario and details of my setup. 1.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga) Samba 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 I have run into an issue where the DNS records added by a net ads join seem to be being scavenged. From what I understand, Windows servers/workstations check in (update their host record) on the AD DNS server on a regular basis. So the question is, how can I have samba/winbind do the same? I could just setup a cron

Greetings list, I'm having a problem setting file permissions for users connecting to my samba file server. CentOS 5.4, samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1. I have authentication configured to use winbind, and name services configured to use LDAP. I've configured valid users in smb.conf to contain DOMAIN\username for the users I want to be able to connect. They can browse the share just fine,

Hi, I am experiencing performance issues when using samba as an application server for starting exe files from my Windows XP machine. I have a shortcut on my desktop that links to an executable via UNC path. Startin the link takes up to 15 seconds, the second time it's a lot faster. After starting the application and I wait for some time it seems like my session needs to reconnect or

Greetings, I'm using a CentOS 5.4 Virtual Machine and Samba 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4 to access a file share from a Windows XP host. I also tried the same using a Fedora 10 VM with the same negative results. Please read on. I've browsed the web and read the mount.cifs man page. And the conclusion is the same: you connect to a share using a username and password and you're good to to. Or,

For some strange reason I am no longer able to create groupnames or usernames (with useradd and groupadd) that contain a dot. Uptill now it was possible to create user&groupnames like c.smith but now I get these errors: [root at server etc]# useradd c.smith useradd: invalid user name 'c.smith' [root at server1 etc]# groupadd c.smith groupadd: c.smith is a not a valid group name

Hi, I have Samba 3.0.14a + OpenLDAP 2.2.24 installed on Solaris 8 as a PDC for serving files only (no profiles, no printing). Performance of network browsing is slow in Windows 2000 and XP, taking 10-15 seconds to open and display the contents of a folder. The same browsing activity from a Mac works fine with no unacceptable delays. I'm trying to sell Samba here, but these delays are
