Having issues with not being able to bind with my openldap server... Do I need to install openldap client tools and get the box set up to use it first? -- Jefferson K Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School District 1200 North Chester Ave Bakersfield, CA 93308 661.392.2110 ext 120 (office) http://district.standard.k12.ca.us District Users: Click here to

So, I have a test domain set up with rfc2307 = yes . Now I'm trying to figure out if a) my nfs automount data came over from OpenLDAP, and b) if not, how to get it into samba 4's ldap, or something else??? Do I need to rethink my approach? Mount locations are pretty consistent based on primary group/userid Needs to work on Linux. Existing entries look like this... # /u,

Ok, I've tried all the "common" fixes, such as turning oplocks off on the share. Twice a day the database has to be repaired. running samba-3.0.7-2.FC2 Here's the pertinent section: comment = Aeries path = /home/aeries valid users = @aeries read only = No create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 inherit permissions = Yes

Before I start beating my head against the wall, is there a howto someplace for joining a Samba4 member or BDC to a samba3 domain? Am I going about this all wrong? I most likely will update the PDC to samba 4 next summer due to the amount of automation we have to modify that leverages OpenLDAP. The LDAP server that comes with Samba4 seems kinda limited by comparison. In the meantime, cannot

I keep seeing different approaches/recommendations as to which DNS services to utilize for an AD controller... what are your recommendations, and why?

Most of what I've found involves installing from source, which I'm not opposed to for a pilot install but for production I would rather use the distro packages or sernet. Or is this nuts/shortighted/ignorant? At any rate, I'm looking for a good guide for getting it set up as an AD controller, and then migrating my existing samba3+openLDAP+autofs setup to the new platform. Having

Been tearing my hair out trying to find out if redirecting my user's automounted home folder is killing offline files availability. We are just now migrating our windows users to win7 (school, limited funding), and while I've got folder redirection working, I also need to make sure offline files work as well for my mobile users. What smb.conf settings are required that will fix this

The init scripts do not seem to have the chkconfig parameters... I need to start samba before autofs or it cannot provide the mounts from LDAP... Not currently an upstart job, so cannot make autofs wait for samba. Or maybe more to the point I don't know how ;) Thanks, -Jeff -- Jefferson K Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School District 1200 North

So, I managed to get an ad controller running, but cannot seem to get it to forward dns queries to my DNS server. It resolves it's own SRV records just fine. upstream bind is 9.2 AD controller is the same DNS domain as the rest of my network (could this be the issue?) using SAMBA_INTERNAL on the AD controller. It's like I can either resolve my AD controllers SRV records or the

openssl "blesses" my cert chain, but samba has an issue with it.

Ok, I'm going kinda nuts... I have a samba 3 + openldap domain, which works great for authentication, etc. I am trying to use the NTConfig.POL to enforce policies on a mix of 98/win2k and XP boxes. This is a K12 environment, so I need very restrictive policies for students, less so for teachers and staff. What seems to be happening, at least with the XP clients is that it gets the

Hi, I'm trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel here if I can. I'm looking for a script or set of scripts that allow me to create a bunch of samba 3.X/posix users and their corresponding LDAP entries from a delimited text file or something similar. If it's web-based, so much the better, esp if some of the functions can be delegated (with reduced permissions) for specified groups

Hi, I need to mass-update my users in openldap so that their passwords don't expire (school teachers). Anyone have any ideas about what the best process would be for accomplishing this? Thanks... -Jeff -- Jefferson K. Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School District 1200 North Chester Ave Bakersfield, CA 93308 USA 661-392-2110 ext 120

Hello: It's been quite some time since I've posted to the samba lists. I'm wondering if there are any other Samba administrators out there that have developed shell and/or PERL scripting for managing user profile (roaming) directories. Essentially what we're trying to accomplish is automated cookie cleanup "illegal file" (i.e., mp3, wav, avi, etc.) file clean up

Colleagues- I am working on the design of a fairly large samba deployment, and I am looking for feedback on some of my design ideas. I have 10 buildings spread out in and around a city, all interconnected via 1.5Mb leased lines. There are samba servers in each building. I have some users that move from building to building. We are using primarily windows 98 desktops, with a few 2K and XPP

Hi, I was just wondering whether can we map a samba server as a drive? If can, it would be GREAT! This is because we can make users who log on to the server see different directories (like novell) and i thought it would be EXCELLENT if we can map the samba server as a drive itself. If we can, how can we achieve that? Thanks. adrian

Hi, I've got a Debian 3.0 machine from which I initiate rsync connections over ssh to winNT/2k boxen, where sshd is running as a service, to grab files from the windows machines. I don't get any error from either side of the connection. The directory I indicate is transferred as well as every sub directory, just not any of the files in the sub directories. The process seems to be running

Hey this group uses exchange for the mailing list? This can't be true what is with all the virus warnings saying it came from exchange. But not only that it said it was deleted and that is not true when the mail reached me it still had the virus attached and my virus scanner deleted it. When these messages are sent to the group aren't they scanned before being sent to the list? Just

Linux: Fedora Core 2 Samba: 3.0.3 OpenLDAP: 2.1.29 I've noticed a couple of other messages in this month's archives that suggest they're having the same problem as I, but so far no resolution has been reported. I've got a new Samba domain up and running with LDAP that allows me to join Win2K and XP clients, but not NT4 workstations. I've added the machine account with the

Hi all, I'm running samba 2.2 as a domain master on redhat7.3 os. Just recently we started subneting the network. I have entries for the domain in the dns servers. But for some reason I can't autenticate to the domain. I have noticed when I try to authenticate that the requests are not reaching the server. Every time i try to logon I check the samba log files but i see no activities.
