similar to: Windows 7 + Samba 3.5.6 = abject misery...

Does anyone have experience with the upgrade from 3.2 ( in lenny core ) to the samba provided 3.3 debian packages? Specifically, I'm looking for a list of gotchas in this process, as I'm short on machines I can use as test servers...

New to this windows domain stuff, sorry ( at my age learning new stuff can take a while ). I've set up a domain and joined a couple of XP workstations to is and all is fine. What I want to do now is to ensure that the users of these PCs still have administrative rights on their PC's. Can anyone show me the basics / point me to a good guide on how to do this??? TIA, Steve -- Steve

Hi people. I migrate some PDC NT4 to samba 3.3.x, some users have info the Workstations parameter, I need to remove that info, because they cannot login on any other machine, I have read the pdbedit, smbldap-usermod but wont't where I can do that. Any info will be appreciated, thanks!!! -- LIving the dream...

While trying to resolve the loss of prefix for full_audit, I attempted to update from Samba 4.3.9 to 4.4.5. Its a very simple environment, standalone server running on i386 built from source. After performing the build and installation, I was informed that passdb backend = samba_dsdb was no longer supported, so I commented out the line, to find which default I should use. testparm advises it

Hi, This works for me ,you can try. After join computer to domain then log on to Windows Xp with local administrator account and go to control panel -> addusers (select account from your domain) -> Grant access level to your domain account as "Administrator". Or you can use "net" command to do this. Open a cmd shell, then execute: C:\> net localgroup

Hi list, I've set up a simple domain providing shared disk space to a small company. As an extension of this, I've connected satellite office via openvpn, and am mounting a chare on that site over cifs, and backing it up on to the main domain storage. This remote share is on windows XP, and it's throwing up a couple of errors due to incompatible wide characters - cp: cannot create

Has anyone any tips on improving samba performance with debian lenny? I've set up a raid 0 partition on a couple of new WD 1TB disks, formatting the majority of it as a single reiserfs partition. I must admit I should probably have set the blocksize to something other than the default at the time, but now it's well populated, changing stuff like that is going to be a big problem.

Hello, as it is often a question here on the lists and by many others on the internet, I wrote a new HowTo for setting up a SysVol replication "workaround", until Samba supports this feature by itself: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/SysVol_Replication For the replication process, I wrote a Bash script, put it on my webspace and linked it in the HowTo, which should describe

We have a environment that the we cannot(don't want to) use winbind to join samba server to the win2003 AD(with LDAP RFC2307bis Schema and uid/gid setup for users). We managed to get the linux (CentOS) to accept windows domain user ssh to it(with nss/nslcd/kerberos settings). But couldn't make samba server to use the same way to serve windows domain users. Found this page:

This is a really weird one. To the ( XP Pro ) client, I can join the domain, but can never log in. I've looked all over for a troubleshooting guide, but none have found the problem. Help!!! System: samba 3.3.4 on 64 bit debian lenny patched to current. Gigabit lan environment. When Joining the domain ( over an openvpn connection ), the client log shows: [2009/05/07 09:52:08, 0]

I have been experimenting with dirhash settings, and have scoured the internet for other peoples' experience with it. (I found the performance improvement in compiling has forestalled the need to add an SSD drive. ;-) I believe that increasing the following values by 10 would benefit most FreeBSD users without disadvantage. vfs.ufs.dirhash_maxmem: 2097152 to 20971520

On advice from others I dropped gnophone in favor of iaxComm. I am operating on an IBM T30 laptop Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8 with an Intel i810 audio chipset (comes in the laptop). I am using the Gnome desktop. There is no reference to alsa or oss to be found. All audio components function fine. Nothing else is running and I have an active broadband internet connection. I can ping www.digium.com

I have been trying all day to make WINS work for me, unsuccessfully. I have a rather complex setup, that works fine over a LAN, WINS and all. However, the LAN was a substitution for the internet, and when the setup is moved to the real internet, the WINS aspect of my setup does not work. I need some information about WINS over different subnets. I have two machines both running linux +

Hi Jerry, Thank you for this statement! ... the problem in the last days/weeks was, no infos from the team members! It is no big problem if something is not working. But, if we are making tests and reports bugs/problems and so on ... And no one from the team give a answer ! This will make us crazy, too. You and all of the team members make a great job! ... we will see us in Goettingen!

Greetings, all We've been running samba2 for far too long - I'd just never found the time to upgrade, and it wasn't a priority since it WORKED. Our little Solaris9/SPARC64 box happily served our few gigs of files to 20 users, and played the part of a PDC. Then I upgraded CUPS, and discovered samba2 doesn't like cups-1.2 libs, and figured it was as good an excuse to make the

Hello Darren, Could you comment on this issue being raised by myself and Corinna Vinschen? This will create big problems for me. I'm not clear if this is a conscious decision supported by solid reasons or if it is just collateral damage. Thank you for all you work!

I have been working on this for weeks now and feel like I am at a dead-end. I am using Samba 3.0 (Head) and OpenLDAP (2.0) and smbldap-tools 0.7 and cannot join either a Linux machine or Windows 2000 machine to the domain. If any of you have some ideas they would be much appreciated. Highlights: - I have a root defined (UID and GID of 0). - Trying to join the domain will successfully add my

Our plan is to have one AD DC running in Head Office, RODC's at Branches and a second writeable DC at a contingency site. Fileshares will run on separate servers. The Windows 2003/2008 Servers use authentication services from samba4 and run applications. Our current environment is Samba-3.6.9 PDC,BDCs & fileshares, openldap stores samba, posix and acts as heimdal backend - for SSO. My

Having reconfigured Samba4 to use BIND as a DNS server to get dynamic DNS updates working, I'm still working to understand the system. The Windows client I'm testing only seems up update DNS if I run ipconfig /registerdns. It doesn't update DNS at startup or IP change OOTB. Is it expected that Windows clients run a startup script running ipconfig /registerdns or have dynamic updates

A really, really quick question here! Am I right in thinking that all passwords sent across the network in Asterisk are MD5 encrypted without me having to specifically set anything up to make it happen? Thanks so much!
