Our samba boxes are integrated with our Windows 2003 AD domain, with Windows servers acting as AD domain controllers. Everything is working fine, but in my krb.conf and krb5.conf files on my Linux boxes, I currently only have one Windows server specified as the AD logon server. If that server is down, I suspect that Linux users could not login. How to I specify more than one AD domain controller

There are three DCs in my Windows 2003 AD domain, but I have noticed that only one of them is referenced in my krb.conf and krb5.conf. Should there be a reference to one or two of the other domain controllers? If the DC goes down, how will my Samba/Winbind servers authenticate? -- Eric Robinson Disclaimer - February 27, 2011 This email and any files

I have two CentOS servers running samba3-3.0.34-37. When I connect to a samba share from my Windows 2003 R2 servers, and then try to copy a file to it, I often get the message "target filesystem does not support long filenames." Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I've been fighting this problem for 2 years. I've replaced my Windows servers, changed my Windows

We have three Windows domain controllers in our AD domain. They are DC01, DC02, and DC03. We have Linux (RHEL5 and 6) servers in the domain as well. The Linux servers are working fine with AD. However, they are currently configured in krb.conf and krb5.conf to use only DC01 for AD domain controller. if DC01 is down, Linux servers cannot authenticate. How do we configure the Linux servers to use

We have about 40 samba servers in our domain. The two newest ones are throwing an error we've never seen before. [root at vmhost06a samba]# net join Enter root's password: dos charset 'CP850' unavailable - using ASCII convert_string_talloc: Conversion not supported.

That's the kind of behavior I would normally expect. One thing that might be different between our environments is that my users are all in Remote Desktop sessions connected to a pair of Windows terminal servers.

When trying to create a file or folder on a samba share (3.0.28-0.el4.9) from a Windows 2003 R2 server, I occasionally receive an error message stating that the target filesystem does not support long filenames. This happens even if object name follows 8.3 naming conventions. It does not *always* happen. Also, I have another samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9 server where this does not happen at all. What

I just read the Samba list rules and did not see anything against offering payment for expertise, so I'm letting the list know that I need Samba help and am willing to pay normal consulting rates. If you are interested, please respond by direct email. We have a number of CentOS 5.2 and 5.3 servers that work quite well and are AD-integrated using relative IDs to maintain UID/GID consistency

I've been struggling for almost 2 weeks to get Samba working on two new servers. When I try to open a Samba share from a Windows 2003 computer, I always get a logon challenge.

Does anyone know how can I monitor files that was being open and access in the samba directory? If this was not possible, is there third party apps that can help me do what I want? -- Nelson Serafica http://nelsontux.blogspot.com

Hi group, My case has N physicians with each seeing M patients. One physician could have seen a group of patients, or, a patient could have been seen by multiple number of physicians. In order words, there are overlaps. Now, I have the following NxM matrix Patient#1 Patient#2 Patient#3 ....... Patient#m Physician#1 1 0 1 ....... 0 Physician#2

Hi all, I am trying to convert a data set of physician death codings (each individual's cause of death is coded by multiple physicians) from long to wide format, but the "reshape" function doesn't seem to work because it requires a "time" variable to identify the sequence among the repeated observations within individuals. My data set has no order, and different
