So, I setup Samba on Ubuntu 18.04, using the packaged Samba version. [Thanks Rowland/Louis et al.] I'm doing some testing/tinkering using FreeNAS as a share, using the AD as the authentication back-end. As part of that process, you need to add a computer account and change some security settings. I setup RSAT and can see the AD tree, and add users etc. When I try to switch to advanced view

So, I'm seeing some very odd behavior. I may have multiple issues - so I'm simply starting holding the thread of the problem and working my way back. So, the root symptom I'm having is that a GPO isn't applying correctly. [Roaming profiles namely.] I have two DC's. I change the GPO on one DC and rsync the update to the other DC. I can see that the files get updated. Yet when

So, I'm curious about the contrast between modifying netplan vs simply disabling systemd.resolved Is there some advantage to the gyrations to make netplan work, vs simply disabling resolved and manually defining the IP and DNS server? [I'm not complaining, I'm thankful for all the options - just wanting to have the best handle possible on the reasoning behind one method vs the other.]

I'm still in the "what's wrong" stage of figuring out what's going on. But I've got a mail user who isn't getting new messages. Postfix accepts it and drops it in the users mbox. [This is verified. If I tail the Mbox, I can see the new messages.] "Mail" will see the messages too. But dovecot doesn't seem to know they exist. I don't think the MBox

So, I'm trying to paw through the long set of smb.conf options - and it's rather daunting. I'm wondering what smb.conf options are most important/appropriate/common for mostly Windows XP/7/(possibly v8) clients.

I'm sure this is related to name-spaces, but for some reason [brain damage perhaps? :) ] I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. In TBird, for example, I have a folder tree that looks like this Inbox -| Folder-A Folder-B Folder-C Folder-A Folder-B Folder-C And Folder-A, Folder-B, Folder-C are the same folders, just shown twice. [In two different hierarchies.] I'm using

I am attempting to join a windows 7 computer running in virtual box to a samba4 domain (version 4.1.0pre1-GIT-243278a). I get prompted for credentials, I use the provisioned Administrator account, and then get the following: The Following error occured attempting to join the domain "ad.redacted.com" The network path was not found. (I have replaced the actual domain with redacted for

I have been running a small domain for years. I finally decided to move the domain to ad. I am also upgrading the server from Ubuntu i6.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS I installed the new server on a new RAID array and loaded the Ubuntu LAMP stack. I installed samba. I have gone through a few tutorials which offer differing recommendation on some things. All were based on either Debian or Ubuntu. I

Hai guys,   I wanted to share the following site, not my site, but in my opinion, a very good setup for a windows image/deploy server. And im Dutch so its free ;-) ... :-))   See :  https://deployhappiness.com/ and https://fogproject.org/  i've just finished a deploy setup with fogserver and the info from deployhappiness.com   Some of direct links i used:

So that was really helpful for me to understand that a lot more clearly. Thanks! [Many, many thanks @Plutocrat!!] But I'm still getting a similar failure. Let me give the command I'm using. doveadm backup -D -u user at abc.net \ ssh root at po.abc.net \ docker exec b3093cxxxxxx doveadm sync -D -u user at abc.net The "local" server is where the data/mail currently is.

I installed R on my Windows laptop in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.2 and am able to open RGUI (640bit), see packages and run commands. However, when I test the installation and run the basic tests and all the tests on the standard and recommended packages i.e.: library("tools") testInstalledBasic("both") testInstalledPackages("base", errorsAreFatal

Ok, I am running Redhat Linux 7.1 on my second hard drive, on my main hard drive I have windows 98 second edition. So, in the console I type: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /disks/c and I got my Drive C in my wine config set to the appropriate directory. So I browse to /disks/c in the console and type: wine program.exe And the following error comes up: Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] for

Hello listmates, I got a rather strange situation that I can't quite make sense of. OK, I've got a very large data file to sort (hundreds of millions of lines) and I decided to use MySQL for the purpose. I inserted the stuff into a table easily enough. Then I decided to sort it and got stuck as it turned out that MySQL, unless specifically configured to do otherwise, puts temporary files

Hi I have a strange problem with Shared folders in MMC. While I try to connect to linux machine and list Open files or Sessions I got a message "You do not have permission to view the list of sessions from Windows clients". The problem exists only if I try to connect to linux machines (Windows Server is ok), and only for Administrator account. From other accounts with Administrator

Louis, et al. Hi! So, I'm working on a 20.04 setup. I think I'll still use the distro version and not Louis' packages. [No offense Louis - I just need to be sure if (forbid) anything happens to Louis, his packages aren't going to be supported any more, and I'll be on my own for security updates etc. The 20.04 versions are pretty current, and I think will meet my needs for the

So, I'm generally running my DC's in VM's on Xen [XCP-NG]. And I'm considering recovery from different disaster situations - say a crashed/corrupt DC. Or hardware failure. Yes, I could run a second VM with a second DC. But unless I setup another XCP server and put the VM on that - the biggest threat to the current VM/DC is the hardware it's running on. So, it really

in the Rails Recipes book there is a chapter on role-based authentication. it basically set up priviliges based on what page the user was able to access. i went through the chapter and felt like i got a pretty good understanding of how to do it. now i am needing something a little more advanced though. instead of a per page (or action) i would like to have certain sections on a page either

Hi, I have tried to add a user (not a group) to "domain admin group" in smb.conf with no success. If i use the usermanager an check the Administrators group on the local machine there are two members, Administrator and DOMAIN\unix_group.2147483404 and the user does NOT get administrative priviliges on the local machine. If I add the user to the Administrators group on the local machine

Hello, I'm trying to get Samba and CFS (cryptographic file system) to work. What I want is to mount a crypted directory (on my Debian Sarge server) as a Samba share to my WinXP box. I've already set up a crypted directory (/crypt/crypt) as a user. And I've also set up a Samba share for this 'virtual' directory. I can access and delete files from that folder over the Samba
