Is there a trick to being able to access shares via \\domain\dfsroot\.. rather than \\computer\dfsroot\... ? Only the latter works for me - samba 3.0.22

I have been having a problem with 'net getdomainsid' on a machine that I set up to be a BDC. # net getdomainsid Could not fetch local SID tdbdump shows that there is no machine SID in secrets.db, so I'm thinking that I overlooked the step that creates a machine SID. What creates the machine SID and when? Also, is it the hostname or the netbios name that samba uses as the machine

Do these programs still exist? They don't seem to be part of the samba3x package on RHEL5.

There has been a low continuing level of confusion over the terms "Source NAT" (SNAT) and "Static NAT". To avoid future confusion, all instances of "Static NAT" have been replaced with "One-to-one NAT" on the web site and in the CVS configuration files (Shorewall/ project). The documentation in 1.4.9 will also contain this change. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \

Environment is Samba as a PDC, OpenLDAP backend, with smbldap-tools providing the scripts to manipulate the data. What are the recommended/mandated organizational units (OU=) for user, computer, group info. I'm pretty sure that groups go in ou=Groups, but I am confused about where user and computer data goes. I have seen ou=People, ou=Computers, and ou=Users in various places. Which is it

This is some ramblings on why using proxy ARP (on a host in a DMZ) is a good or bad thing. The good is that a computer X retains a public IP address which makes it easy to connect it directly to the net if the firewall has to be taken down for extended periods. Thus, if computer X is a mail server for example, it can still function in a reduced capacity until the firewall is restored. The bad

On the firewall, what is the rationale for giving eth1 an IP address that is also assigned eto eth0? (Rather than a private one.) -- Taso Hatzi caesar 17 <<-salad cjbx jc vdwwjar jc xi jc jd salad

The problem scenario I describe was reported previously in the Shorewall lists but its resolution does not seem to have made it into the lists. Scenario: Windows XP client seeking to establish a VPN connection to a Windows 2003 Server located behind a Shorewall firewall (running on Mandrake kernel 2.4.22-37mdk). The connection cannot be made, the client reports error code 721. Discussion:

Hi, especially John H. T :) I'm yet again plodding through chapter 14 of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf. Not because I can't make what's in it work for me, I did that long ago, I found out for myself, because a great deal of what's in it is wrong. I just got fed up with trying to get Nagios to work - I gave up, for various reasons and started on the Samba doco. At the risk of

Are there any scenarios that require traffic from a zone to itself to be blocked? If not, Shorewall should possibly allow it as a matter of course. It seems strange having to explicitly create such a policy & it''s not immediately obvious when it is required. -- Taso Hatzi caesar 17 <<-salad cjbx jc vdwwjar jc xi jc jd salad

I don''t think this has anything to do with Shorewall but I am not too familiar with iptables stuff yet so I''m not sure. Running Shorewall shorewall-1.4.9 on Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 Kernel 2.4.22-37mdk. Run "nmap -sP 192.168.x.x/24" (for example), where 192.168.x.x/24 is the LAN. You can do this from a firewall/router, or even from a

Tomorrow morning, the following systems will be unavailable while I upgrade the OS on my firewall: a) shorewall.net b) lists.shorewall.net c) cvs.shorewall.net d) rsync.shorewall.net The upgrade will begin around 0700 PST (-0800) and will like take two hours or so.

If I setup a samba 4 PDC (not AD) like I do with samba 3, I still have to change the follow registry key on Win 7/8/?/10 for join it to samba domain ? > [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters] > "DomainCompatibilityMode"=dword:00000001 > "DNSNameResolutionRequired"=dword:00000000 > >

hi, i am able to join my domain with windows 7. when i reboot i get a "Unkown error has occurred". when i check my event log i see that there is a netlogon 3210 error: This computer could not authenticate with <samba server>, a Windows domain controller for domain <domain name>, and therefore this computer might deny logon requests. This inability to authenticate

Is it possible for a user to change his/her password from Windows? I tried it out last night as a test user against my PDC and it only changed for Samba; I was still able to log into the PDC via SSH using the previous password. (I changed it for the test user as root and it took for both SSH and Windows.) I tried to use smbldap-passwd as the test user, but I got a message back saying I had

Ok, here's a simple question, (I just rejoined this list so apologies if it has been asked a million times before). Our Company runs SAMBA 1.9-18p1 from a USS (Unix System Services) on an IBM Mainframe. I used to have WinNT 4.0, and I could access Files on Windows Explorer through SAMBA with no problems. Now I updated one of my workstations to WinXP Pro., and - no access to the Samba

Hi list, I am experimenting with ocfs2 (rpm package: 1.2.2-0.2), using linux-ha 2.0.8 (all running on a SLES 10 x86-64, rpm packages from linux-ha.org) for the heartbeat. The three nodes are connected on a gigabit switch. From time to time I have problems to unmount a drive, and I have to reboot the whole system to fix the problem. When these lockups occur, I see these messages in

Hello all, I've got Samba 3.0.24-6etch4 (Debian revision) running on a production server which acts as a PDC for a network of some Windows XP clients (around 250). Since sometime (I am not able to determine exactly when) I get a strange problem arising : some clients are banned from my domain. The only solution I found is to reintroduced the clients into the domain. Once hosts have rejoined
