Help please, a file server was upgraded from: Mandriva 2007.1, Samba 3.0.24-2.7mdv2007.1 to Mandriva 2008.1, Samba 3.0.28a-2.1mdv2008.1 and it broke something badly. After the upgrade logins from all XP workstations broke - some of the time. For an existing account (one with a profile already in the home directory) sometimes it will login normally. Well, almost normally, it never seems

Thanks to Drew Vonada-Smith the roaming profiles are working again. The problem was that information stored in

I recently took over maintenance of a linux computer which is drawing power from a "Maruson Power Net 1500" UPS. However, there is currently no monitoring or control of the UPS by this (or any other) computer. Can nut control this device? There are serial, usb, and EPO connectors on the back of the unit. (There may be a manual but I'm going to have to hunt for it.) Thanks, David

Setting up nut on a system where an LVM volume holds the root filesystem.. What is the appropriate device form to use with "mdadm --readonly" in halt? This is on a CentOS 5 system. So far I have found three possibilities, but I do not know which one (if any) will still be valid that late in the halt procedure: 1. /dev/md0 (from posts on the net) 2.

This is a bit off topic, but I'm looking for a convenient way to manage N "identical" Windows PCs, using as much as possible 1 command to do the same thing on all of them. The capabilities I'm looking for, preferably in a single tool are, given a designated master machine and N clones of that master: 1. Compare all (or to a specified depth) files below some directory on the

Yesterday I migrated a Samba server from one machine running Samba 3.0.13 (on Mandrake 10.0) to another running 3.0.20-3 (on Mandriva 2006). The contents of: /etc/samba/* (all the .conf files) /usr/local/samba/private/* (secrets.pdb, smbpasswd) were moved intact from one machine to the other, as was all of the user data. I even checked md5sums - no changes to any of the samba files. Then

Well this is even more interesting. Parts of the profile are not being saved back to the server, at least for existing users. For instance, 1. login 2. change the start menu to "classic view" 3. rearrange the desktop 4. logout 5. login again start menu is back as it was and it isn't classic view any more. Very strange. Wipe the test profile on the server and the copy on the

After doing some system work, including upgrading the Samba server to 3.0.28a from 3.0.24, upgrading the kernel to 2.6.24, and changing the firewall rulesk, the XP workstations which belong to that domain, the right click "run as ..." option is slow to bring up a dialog. The phenotype is this: right click some program (for instance, a shortcut to the "command prompt")

Hello Sorry to ask here, but all googeling doesn't helped. We have several samba domains (samba 3.5.6) with ldap backed and windows 7 clients, which worked fine so far. Know we begin to see that random machines begin to kick out of the domain with the error: _netr_ServerAuthenticate3: netlogon_creds_server_check failed.

I have a couple of Windows Vista Computers that i freshly (re)installed, updated to SP2 + all updates, and joined to my domain... i also got an empty profile on the server (the storage folder is there, but there are no files inside) When i log into the domain Windows creates all files and folders just fine and stores a cache of that profile in c:\users\username (like it should), And when i log

Upgraded a Samba server from 3.0.28a-2 to 3.4.7-0.2. Initially the XP workstations could not log on (not finding machine account) then discovered a new "passdb" variable, so added to smb.conf: passdb backend = smbpasswd and also changed all browseable -> browsable. Restarted the server. Domain logins worked. Test files saved to desktop are retained between logins (are stored in

I'm relatively new to samba I have been experimenting for a week or so, though I have setup several 2000/NT domains and have been using Linux for a couple of years. I'm using Red Hat 9, updated completely via apt. Samba 3.0.9 installed from apt and i am using the stock ldap server that installed with red hat as my back end. I followed the samba.idealx.org guide to get to where I am

Has anyone had any luck adding machine accounts from w2k to a samba 3.0 pdc? I posted the issue last week, as I noticed others were encountering the same problem. The weird thing is I had it working on a box before. But this time I'm using pam_ldap to avoid local unix accounts, and it wont work. I copied the config over from the box that was working, made changes for the different config

Hello, I have a working samba (2.0.7) server (Debian GNU/Linux 2.2) configured with security = user, but NOT domain. The clients are Windows 98. I whish windows users to be able to change their password without logging on the server (unix account on the server are disabled). I tried from the Password applet of the Control Panel, but I was able only to change the password stored on the Windows

Somebody please forward this, if this is not an appropiate place to ask the OpenSSH developers for a new feature. As many of us have seen, any sshd left open on the internet eventually becomes the target of password guessing attacks. I am aware of tools for scanning the security logs, and manipulating iptables to block ongoing attacks, but I am not aware of a way to configure sshd itself to

I have a serous problem. I have for some time now tried to get an SAMBA based Domain Controller working. I have tried with OpenLDAP and tdbsam as backend, but I get the same error every time. I wood prefer to use LDAP as my backend. I have read tons of how-to SAMBA + LDAP, but non of the seams to work for my, is there someone that maybe can see what I have done rung in my config.? I have

All, Is there any way of telling which machine is doing what job? i.e. Domain Controller, local master, wins server etc. I have two machines and two workgroups but they both appear on the same workgroup. I think it is something to do with which machine is doing what. I think machine1 is acting as Domain Controller & Master Browser for workgroup1 and Machine2 is loosing all the browse

I have upgrade the pdc server from debian sarge to etch. After this operation we can't login to the domain (client windows 2000 & XP) smbclient works fine and from a windows local account I can browser the samba directories too (puttin username and password before..) I use tdbsam of course and pdbedit -L let me see all the accounts, it seems to work fine I tried to remove a pc from

We have an Exchange 5.5 server in our Samba 3 domain und want to have POP3 access with clear text authentication from clients. But no kind of credentials is accepted. It did a level 10 log on the Samba server and found my clear text password in the log (in nt_chal_resp and lm_chal_resp fields) during authentication. Is it possible that Samba can't handle the clear-text pass-through from
