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

I'm sure these sound like stupid questions, or have really simple answers, so sorry. The really bad thing is I originally sent these to samba-bounces. Oops. Once we get this Samba AD thing installed, we'd like to have users login and mount particular shares to drive letters based on their group, not their user. All I've read about this seems to use "user" scripts (along

I have a Samba server here with 4 users and 4 XP systems. Kind of small, but it does the job. It is running as a PDC with roaming profiles. I should note that I left professionally supporting Windows networking around the time XP came out, so I have maintained an NTDomain through a number of incarnations (NT, Win2000, Samba2/3) and use of someone elses packaging. This time I want to use

I've got a couple of Samba4 DCs running as VMs for testing. The primary AD DC went smoothly. The second VM joined properly and all but it's only when I get to the replication tests that I see errors. This is following the wiki When I run the command "samba-tool drs kcc -Uadministrator windowsdc.mycrap.cnpapers.dom" I get an error indicating that

Sorry for the extra info required, but I had digest mode turned on and wouldn't have received the mailing till tomorrow. I have since updated the data manually, but after 'yum update tzdata' was run, the zdump -v for EST5EDT and America/New_York all still showed a date of April 1, instead of March 11. After manually fixing, it is correct. This was mostly a question about why yum

Hi I have and old system with samba 3.0.3 and I will migrate to a new server with debian jessie and samba 4. Im looking but Im not sure to create the structure samba + ldap + cups a good howto. My idea is to configure to use windows 7 how a clients. Any suggestions? The only seems to be good http://www.unixmen.com/setup-samba-domain-controller-with-openldap-backend-in-ubuntu-13-04/ but is for

I'm still not seeing emails from the list. With help from others, I thought I had the IPs cleared since the change back in February, but apparently not. Can someone PM me and let me know what outgoing IP addresses the list is using please? steve campbell

When reading the wiki page about setting up new shares there is some information missing. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_and_configure_file_shares_with_Windows_ACLs The information I am missing most here is which posix.1 ACLs to set after creating the shares directory. There is only # mkdir -p /srv/samba/Demo/ but on my system that will create a directory that is owned by root:root

I've got a Centos 5 server with Xen installed. I'm trying to install a Centos 6.5 VM on it but once all is installed, the X window will not sync or display. I think I understand that it's probably due to the settings on the vnc stuff. I've got Centos 6.2 VMs that act just fine. Is there a way I can modify the VM's screen settings either during installation or after

I still haven't installed Samba, as I'm still in the planning stages. Again, I'm new to Samba, and I discover our Windows pro isn't quite up on the newer stuff since it's been years since he ran domains. I'm a little confused about this thing called "SysVol". Reading up on it, it appears a real important part of an AD, but I don't see how or when it's

Hmmm... It appears I never posted the corrected version of this patch so it never made it upstream. See: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg00587.html http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg02145.html It would be good if this very minor fix was also applied to 4.2 (and, if possible, 4.1).

I checked my settings on the dovecot mailman page, and although my account was set to "disable" email, after changing it and attempting to have the list resend my password, I'm still not seeing emails. The last time I received emails, the outgoing server for the list was sent from the IP 193.210.130.67. Is that still correct? I've checked my logs to see if there's

I just upgraded one of my Tao boxes to Centos 3. The usual procedure is to do a yum update twice, and all is fine. This time, I had to rebuilddb before I could run the second yum update, and once I started this, yum fails. It says that $releasever is "1.0". Now I realize I could manually edit my yum.conf and make it go to 3, but this may not fix the problem down the road. Can

I read a few days back on the list where the tzdata rpm was to take care of the new DST rules. I run CentOS 3 servers, and did a 'yum update tzdata' , but received a 2006a update of the rpm. Is this proper? It sure didn't fix anything. Thanks Steve Campbell campbell at cnpapers.com Charleston Newspapers

Still new to dovecot, I'm seeing a couple of errors in my log file indicating corruption of index files. Error: Corrupted index cache file/home/xxxxxx/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 67: 1 Time(s) Error: FETCH [] for mailbox ~/mail/sent-mail UID 67 got too little data: 6203 vs 7478: 1 Time(s) This account is used by multiple users, but it is not

I'm going to have to be a little vague on this one, but hope I provide enough to make the question clear. I'm not doing the work on this server, a co-worker is, but I said I would ask for him. He is trying to get DRBD installed. He's using Centos 5.1 and the yum repos, but is getting problems with things like the kernel, drbd.so, and the likes. All install fine, but I'm not

We have a situation here that is a real mystery. Our MRTG on our outgoing router and a firewall server that protects our web servers is showing a spike every six hours. I can't find the server behind the firewall that is generating such an extreme amount of packets, even though I've looked through the crontabs of nearly all servers, performed "ps" variations, and other

The more I read about all of this, the more I'm thinking about moving to maildir format. My switchover this weekend is full of holes due to the way user's imap folders were laid out. Some had folders in their home directory and others might have folders in their /home/mail directory. Some how, Horde/Imp seemed to keep track of it. Dovecot is not doing so well. I've been reading

I'm running my AD now, but testing some things dependent on DNS does not seem to be working. Our server is setup in our cnpapers.net domain and was provisioned using Internal Samba DNS. The forwarder is set properly, and almost everything resolves. The forwarder DNS server only has a subset of zones we use on it and it forwards requests to our public/real DNS server. So a request would

I just installed Centos 5.5 with the xen kernel on an older machine. It has Xeon processors and a 700 Mhz processor speed, so I realize I must use para-virtualized guests. Reading the Centos/RH Virtualization Guide gives examples of the process of installing guest hosts, but it only lists installing Windows as a fully-virtualized host. Is that because they only showed those types of examples
