Hello, I am using Samba (3.6.12) with Gentoo Linux (Kernel Version 3.7.10) and I have a system integrated with Active Directory (the Microsoft Windows servers are running 2008 Enterprise Edition, Release 2). All is well on that front (I can log in, directories are created, etc.) What I would like to do now is have different /etc/skel directories for different groups. So, for example, if

Hello all: I am running Samba 2.2.3a on RedHat 7.3. I have a user with an extensive Local Profile. I want to join his computer to the domain and make his current local profile a roaming one. I have tried the following steps: Attached the computer to the domain. Logged into the computer as a Domain Administrator. Gone to my computer -> user profiles. Selected the users local profile

Hi, Could any one please tell me if there is any way to remove 11 letters long cryptic output from -ii option. I am using rsync 3.0.5 rsync -av -stats -ii --log-file-format='CONTENTS: %i %f %l %o %b' --log-file='/tmp/rsync-test' Mydocs/ Mydocs1/" The output of this command: 2009/03/31 15:15:17 [4537] building file list 2009/03/31 15:15:29 [4537] created directory Mydocs1

Hi, all. I didn't find something like this in the faq list: I wound like build a function to substitute single backslashes in a string to double: ChangeSlash<-function(dir) ... so ChangeSlash("C:\mydocs\test") returns "C:\\mydocs\\test" Thanks, C. _______________________________________________________ Abra sua conta no Yahoo!

I am trying to create an archive of one of my home directories for items that have changed or been deleted. I am well aware of the --backup option, but it seems not to work across an rsyncd connection (excuse word wrap from my mailer) but this snippet illustrates the point ARCH=/bak/archive rsync -aHxq --delete --backup --backup-dir=$ARCH/snap/mydocs/ /home/alan/mydocs/ roo::alan/mydocs/

Can I have folders in the msdfs root? >From the docs I do not see a mention of this and in the past it did not work for me however with samba-3.0.28 it appears to be working. img_dfs_root # ls -alR .: total 0 drwxrwsr-x 3 root honestbrokers 264 Feb 28 14:11 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 104 Oct 22 10:35 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root honestbrokers 27

I've recently connected a 64-bit windows box to my existing Samba-run domain. In order to do this, I upgraded to Samba 3.0.23c. Most things work fine. However, I'm having trouble getting the 64-bit box to properly pick up the location of the roaming profile. I want the profile to be stored in a directory in the user's home directory called ".profiles". However, 64

Hi all! I have a problem and I can't seem to figure out what is causing it. Because of this I think it's important to tell the whole story... One of my clients has a small office network, where these used to be a Samba 2.x.x server using smbpasswd acting as PDC. A few month ago I installed a new server with samba 3.0.9 (now upgraded to 3.0.10) and OpenLDAP for authentication (as

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: First let me say that rsync/cwrsync is amazing ! And sorry ! if I'm bothering you with this question...

I would like to know if anybody on this list has managed to have a network of 98 clients running off a samba server, and had roaming profiles, i.e. people's settings follow them from machine to machine. I have done everything I find in the guides, and I have no idea why the machines create new local profiles. I've searched the net for documentation, example websites, etc, but it seems the

Hi, This is a message requesting help for the following problem: Printing Word 97 documents, stored on a Samba server, on an NT4 system to an LPD print queue fails under certain well-defined conditions, creating an empty file called 'Ne<number>:' (e.g. 'Ne120:'). The problem appears to be easily reproducable, as long as you have more than 99 print queues on your NT system.

Hello everyone, I can finally ditch Windows 7 in my Samba AD DC based setup. unfortunately, adding printers from my Samba-based print server (separate server, member in the domain) does not work. My print server shows up fine on Windows 8.1[1] and Windows 10, all printers are there and even copying the driver seems to complete successfully. However, right in the very last step when it configures

Hi guys, I'm experiencing seemingly random problems using roaming profiles with Samba 3.0.2 on Debian Woody and clients being Win XP Pro and Win2K (all of them running the latest service packs and critical updates and so forth). Sometimes when one of the machines tires to login the server profile can't be found. The error Windows comes up with is "Network name cannot be found."

I'm trying to solve this issue I'm having where using 'valid users = +unixgroup' just plain doesn't work. I can't find any /documented/ reason why this is so, but nevertheless, it seems to be the case. This is with samba 3.6.18, but seems to exist in all of 3.6.x and most or all of 3.5.x and perhaps earlier as well (see bug #6681). From what I can tell, the underlying

Hello everyone! I have had a lot of luck with mailing lists in the past, so I'm hoping this one works out well also. I've recently helped my company move from an NT4 PDC to a Samba 2.2.7a PDC and everything has gone smoothly until this point. We made the decision to migrate to roaming profiles so our users could move around and use whichever computer they wanted to unlike before,

Hi all. I originally suspected this problem was with netbios (which I have disabled by default) and Jerry has helped me out a bit with but I've been doing some more digging and I think the problem lies back further than I expected. I was trying to upgrade from 3.0.7 to 3.0.11 so I've recompiled all versions back from 3.0.11 and the problem first occured in 3.0.8. The issue is with

Greetings, We are running samba 3.0.7 with cups 1.1.20 to serve printing to WinXP pro SP1 clients running Microsoft Access 2002 Our users are having problems "Creating reports in design view" in MS Access when the default printer is a samba queue. As soon as you change the default printer to a non samba queue, everything works fine. I've been searching the archives and it

Dear, I'm having some strange problems with Samba. I have shared a linux folder on my samba and have mapped it to a drive letter in Windows XP (I also tried with Windows 2000). When I right click my mapped drive and click on properties to view the free space and capacity, I get all garbage as can be seen from the screenshot at: http://www.nuonsoft.com/temp/samba_free_space.jpg I'm running
