similar to: Samba 4 with LDAP proxy in DMZ

Hi all, I have a Centos 6 box running samba-3.6.9 and I have a problem with files turning to 0 bytes after being edited and saved. One of the users reported that he changed the name of two files and both ended up sized 0 bytes and opening them revealed them to be empty. Has anyone had a similar problem? I've been looking for 3 days and there's obvious pattern to the events

Hi List, Looking for assistance with a squid authentication problem against Samba 4. The squid proxy we're using worked fine on our old Samba 3 domain with 500+ users but keeps freezing on our new Samba 4 domain. I've joined the proxy using net ads join and the samba 4 network is a clean build as we wanted to leave any baggage from the old one behind. What we now have is a situation

Hi All, I currently have another thread open on squid authentication with Samba 4 and am going to try authenticating against kerberos instead of NTLM. According to the docs for the web filter I'm using, it's essential for Kerberos to be able to resolve reverse DNS so I've spent the last weekend trying to get this working. Various different documents and howtos exist but none of

Hi all, I had the following line in my smb.conf with which to log access to the home share when users logged in: preexec = /bin/echo \"%u logged in to %m at %T\" >> /var/log/samba/logons.log Since updating to LDAP however, it's stopped working and I suspect that smbldap cant handle the % substitutions for user, machine and time. Has anyone else run into this problem? If

Hi, I need to write a (Perl) script that will access the LDAP server that is bunddled in Samba 4. What DN should I use to authenticate? Best regards, Olivier --

Hi all, Just a quick question about login scripts for a large number of users who change rooms a lot. I have several rooms each with a printer, and nearly a thousand users divided into two main groups - pupils and teachers who change rooms on a routine basis. Is it possible to set up multiple login scripts that would be executed in sequence i.e. run by user is %u, and machine is %m is it

Hi all, I am looking at setting up a multi-site office and need to put a plan forward. The site consists of one head office and several branch office and my plan so far is this: In head office, one Samba PDC. Each branch office will have a local BDC that also stores files local to the branch, hopefully cutting down the day to day traffic across the VPN. The VPN I plan to use is OpenVPN in

Hi All, I am hoping to set up machine based logins on our Samba server (3.0.21c/RedHat EL4). I have the following lines in the global section to my smb.conf: [global] add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G %g %u passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb add

Hi All, I have the following setup. Samba/LDAP PDC, Samba BDC, Samba member server, Win2K member server, 300 Win XP Client PCs. I can access the shares on the PDC from all Win XP clients. I can access the shares on the Win2K member server from all XP clients, I can't however access any of the shares on the Samba BDC or Samba member server from the XP clients. LDAP is working fine and

Hi all, I have a problem that started last week with winbind on a member server. The network consists of the following: Openldap/Bind/DHCP Server (No Samba) PDC - CentOS Linux - Samba 3-3.5.6-43.el5 (sernet package) BDC - CentOS Linux - Samba 3-3.0.31-36 Proxy Server (with NTLM Auth) - Mandriva Linux - Samba 3.5.3-3.1mdv2010.1 All of these work fine but the proxy needs replacing so I've

Hi List, I've just updated from Samba 3.0.33 to 3.5.6 on my Centos 5.5 PDC and am having problems accessing home directories. To allow a backout option I set up a new server, put 3.0.33 on it, joined it to the domain and rsynced the home directories over with the flags necessary to maintain the permissions and user/group ownership. This worked and after completion I upgraded the new

Hi all, I need help to clear a bit of confusion regarding SIDs on Samba servers. I had my PDC collapse on Thursday which wasn't too much of a problem as I had everything backed up but I'm now in the position that I have a mismatched Domain SID. If I run net getlocalsid I get the sid for the server (called smb0) and net get local sid <domain> returns the sid for the Domain. I

Good morning, list, I've been trying to get my KVM virtual machines to connect to the Interwebs for the last 3 hours with no success. I'm running Debian Wheezy (fully patched) and building virtual machines using KVM in Virt Manager. With the default, factory settings shown in virt manager, I have a default virtual network with the device name virbr0, which starts on boot and uses the

Hi all, I am trying to mount images that I previously created with dd and the images have two partitions (swap and LVM). I use these images to house data for my Xen Guests. For some reason (possibly Kernel conflicts for paravirtualized domains) I am unable to boot my Guest images. Failing which I would like to mount the disk images and atleast get my data out of them. dd -o loop server.img

Hey everybody, Thanks for the help. It turns out that net.ipv4.ip_forward was set to = 0 and I had to change it to = 1, which I found from the excellent http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Guest_can_reach_host%2C_but_can%27t_reach_outside_network guide. All's well in the state of Denmark and I should be able to set to figuring out how to get libvirt to play nicely with Firestarter and Network

Hi all, First of all I am posting this on two lists for a reason, because the issue being reported by me could be because of a change delivered by a Kernel update or due to Xen. I have recently managed to update all Xen Guest domains running CentOS 5.3 to the latest bunch of updates + Kernel. My Xen host also runs the same CentOS 5.3 updated to all recent packages. The Guest images in concern
