Samba Admins: This is my second post on this matter so my apologies for redundant requests for help. My first request yielded only one response which did not solve my current problem. Background: We have been using Samba on Linux (Redhat) for several years to access shares on Sun servers. The Sun environment uses NIS/NFS for user accounts and sharing (mounting) remote file systems. Accessing

Hi list, I am experimenting with two member servers (both samba4). I am using following configuration: membersrv:/etc/samba/smb.conf: ========================== [...] username map = /etc/samba/smbmap [...] membersrv:/etc/samba/smbmap: ========================= !root = MYDOM\johndoe MYDOM\foo MYDOM\bar MYDOM\Administrator Administrator So the domain users from my AD called "John Doe",

> Comment from Rowland: > [...]an AD user without a uidNumber is merely a windows user Hi Rowland, just for my understanding, I have a question. If a domain user in my samba4 AD domain does not have been assigned with a "uid" on the [UNIX Attribute] tab of my ADUC tool, that user in general *cannot* access any of the shares of that particular member server? Is that correct? My

Samba List: Any idea why a directory containing 376 sub-directories would only show 162 sub-directories via Windows Explorer? The machine is a Sun Ultra 1 running SunOS 5.5.1 and Samba 2.0.6.

Hi, I'm trying to write a method such that my own classes can be used with the groups like "Summary" and "Math", but when I tried to look for examples or just wanted to get an idea of which functions are the members of a group, I found out that the function "getGroupMembers" is not present... I couldn't find an alternative function, if there is one. Does

Hello, I am running Samba 4.1.12/Sernet on Debian Wheezy 64bit and I am about to setup my member server. The DC was provisioned with rfc2307 and extended attributes. I have assigned to the domain group called "Domain Users" the GID=10000. My member server was prepared with ACL+user_xattr and winbind support. My /etc/nsswitch.conf is using "winbind" for passwd+group, and

I have seen mentioned in other posts that when joining a DC with your linux client there is a way to do it and NOT use Powerbroker Open (new name for Likewise-Open). Where do I find this procedure? -- ------------------------- Bob Wooden of Donelson Trophy 615.885.2846 (main) www.donelsontrophy.com [1] "Everyone deserves an award!!" Links: ------ [1]

I am facing an issue which I cannot explain myself. The roaming profiles don't work for users that are members of the group "Domain Admins". The [profiles] share on the member server was configured exactly as explained on the wiki for roaming profiles. It works like a charm for all domain users, *BUT*: if a user is member of the group "Domain Admins" it *doesn't* :-(

Hi 4.0.8 file server in a 4.0.8 domain After a user logs in on a Linux client which is joined to the domain, smbd is constantly looking for files which don't exist: Here is the file server log after a user login to a Linux client has settled down: [2013/08/24 18:43:24.748511, 3] ../source3/smbd/vfs.c:1140(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name [steve2/.icons/gnome] [/home/users]

Hello I'd like to configure Samba on a test host running Ubuntu so that I have full read/write access from XP to a sub-directory of the root filesystem. The host is located on a LAN behind a firewall, so security is not an issue, ie. I'd like to configure Samba with no/minimal security. Currently, I can read but can't write. Between /etc/passwd, smb.conf, and access rights to the

Hi, Confused and bewildered as usual, so ask the guys who know. samba4wins is now implemented and part of the samba4 package? Is there a configuration guide? I guess nbd_server needs to be part of the equation so could you point to some resources on setup as I don't think I have noticed anything in the wiki? Probably just me :) Many Thanks Stuart

Hi there, I have just purchased a new PC that came with Windows 8 Pro (Shudder...). I have been trying to add this machine to my Samba3 based domain. I'm getting the following error when doing so: The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for domain "<blah>":

Hi All, I have recently successfully configured Samba 3.3.15 and OpenLDAP as my offices PDC. I would like to disable the roaming profiles capability but it appears that no matter what I said, it is being ignored by Samba. First is my relevant snippet for the Logon Path and Logon Home being empty as described in the documentation. Then, following that, is my entire smb.conf -- please let me

Hello, I notice if I simply comment out a share or remove entirely. I receive errors such as theses. Is there a proper protocol to follow when removing a share? process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/myshare failed.

Hi, We are setting up a samba PDC with rhcl 5.I made some restrictions in XP box using GPEDIT like restricting the access to control panel,desktop properties, registry and etc. ,then i copied the DEFAULT USER folder frm that XP box to netlogon share of samba server.(thought it would act as baseprofile for all users and this profile policy will be copied to all new users).But what ever the

My users are having a lot of problems since I upgraded a samba domain member server from samba-3.0.37 to 3.5.X. The main issue seems to be a very long delay loading office files (sometimes minutes if the file loads at all) and a lot of read only errors and users not being able to save. I have found that rebooting the client, restarting samba, or killing the users smbd process regains access to the

Hi all, we have special scenario with a slow file share where Samba (maybe combined with other tools) could help by acting like as a CIFS proxy and caching system: We're testing an Alfresco ECM System which has a CIFS subsystem (based on jLAN) that is simply to slow for our needs. In this setup the appserver Alfresco (SUSE on vmwars ESXi) and the clients are on a local LAN with Gb Ethernet
