I'm having trouble changing the machine name programmatically on Samba 4 (running under systemd). There's no "netbios name" option in smb.conf, so I'm relying on it using the hostname. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Call sethostname() with the new name. 2) Write the same name into /etc/hostname, to make it nonvolatile. 3) Read a decimal number from /var/run/smbd.pid.

For a long time, I've had a share set up on my Samba server (Ubuntu 14.04) that gives me read/write access to /. (It's a machine that does Yocto Linux builds, nothing proprietary on it.) I routinely accessed it from a couple of Win7 boxes and one Mac. A few days ago, I installed some Ubuntu updates, and suddenly the share stopped working. I could open the machine, and I could open the

I'm working on a couple of Yocto Project based embedded projects, one using a Gumstix Overo board and the other using an Intel Atom motherboard. Both need a simple Samba server, which isn't included in the standard build. The only existing Yocto-compatible recipe for Samba is an OpenEmbedded one for version 3.6.8. I was quite surprised to find that adding Samba almost tripled the size of

This is an embedded system without a lot of high-level utilities like you get on Ubuntu. -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco at ix.netcom.com

I know how to do it through systemctl, but I was

I have an embedded box (Yocto Project based linux distro) to which I'm adding Samba 3.6 (from OpenEmbedded). All I need it for is to provide one browsable file share that allows read/write access to anyone on the network. But I want it to be password protected. My best guess as to what goes into smb.conf is: [global] workgroup=WORKGROUP netbios name=MACHINE security=share

I've got an embedded x86 system built with Yocto, which boots from a USB flash drive. It uses a loop mount to give access to an ext3 root file system contained within a FAT16 file, which means it has persistent storage. What I want is something that boots from the flash drive, but copies everything into a large RAM disk, and runs from there, so that it doesn't touch the flash drive once

I'm using the Yocto Project to build an embedded distro, to which I'm adding Samba 3.6 from OpenEmbedded. Doing so increases my root file system from about 63MB to 175MB. I seem to be building a large Samba server with a small ancillary operating system tacked onto it. I listed the files in my file system image, and see that lots of the commands are quite large. I understand that Samba 4

I've read what I can find about SMB passwords, but I don't get what they are. Are they Unix passwords or an alternative to them? If I have a file share, and the underlying file system requires some sort of credentials to access it, what is the relationship between that and an SMB password? If a client tries to access the share, using a user account that is listed in the smbpasswd file,

Systemd service files are generally coming with packages. This means these files can be overwritten by some system update if this updates also your Samba packages (note: I never had nor tested that behaviour with Samba packages, but it happens for other packages). 2016-02-23 8:39 GMT+01:00 L.P.H. van Belle <belle at bazuin.nl>: > Uh... just add : > > netbios name = PC_NAME >

Dear all, Ubuntu 8.04 Server Samba 3.0.28a configured as PDC. I want to give options to samba users to change their own passwords and sync it with the unix passwords whenever they change it. I have used the following in my smb.conf file unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\ n

When I run this command I am not prompted for a password, I just get the below error. # smbclient -U root //zmail/homes Error connecting to 10.0.0.14 (Connection refused) Connection to zmail failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) --- Now for the back story: CentOS v5.2 with Samba v3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 and Zimbra 5.0.11_GA on x86_64 hardware.

Hello there. I'm having an issue authenticating a Windows 7 (not in a domain) against a Samba 4.1.17 (debian Jessie). It appears that the client is trying to authenticate using with it's machine name and not the user filled in the auth form. I'm using security = user and I can confirm that the share is working with Win8. Could you check my conf & the error and share me your

Hi all!! I'd set up my samba 2.2.7 to auth with "security=domain" mode, but my clients cannot auth successfully never because the samba server cannot "talk" correctly with my PDC(w2k adv. Server). In the computer manager event, I see authentication request but with empty usernames......so the PDC reject the authentication request. Is this a know

Hi, I am running Samba 3.0.1 on a Debian/Sid machine. I have installed winbind to access the AD of the local network, which I want to use for UNIX logons. wbinfo -u shows all the users of the AD, but "getent passwd" only shows the contents of the file /etc/passwd. I have been following the instruction for winbind (Chapter 21) in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. Any comments would be
