After years of delays and side trips, I really am going to dive in and build my own Samba server. And I have a few questions. All of my servers will be ARM. The main hardware will be Cubieboards (2 and truck). They will be running Centos-7 once the development is finished. For now I am using Fedora 22 arm. My backup file server will be a pogoplug (armv5) with Redsleeve 7.1. My current

I have a situation like that: Samba as a domain controller with roaming profiles enabled; Windows 200 SP4. Old user Joe with a roaming profile (doesn't work anymore). New user Bob which has to use Joe's roaming profile. Simply adding user "bob" to the system and renaming the old profile (home/samba/profiles/joe) to a new name (/home/samba/profiles/bob) doesn't work.

I'm running Samba version 2.2.8a on redhat 8.0. i have been working with roaming profiles without problems, but since Win2000-SP4 i get the following error message: /rpc_server/srv_samr.c:api_samr_set_userinfo(670) api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO./ I changed the local policy to: * Do Not Check for Ownership of Roaming Profile Folders * Add the

I have recently set up an small SAMBA network(just my server and a W2K SP4 Workstation). My Server is acting as a PDC. Everything seems to work flawlessly, users, roaming profiles, netlogon script, etc... But I cannot make this machine to read my NTConfig.pol file. I have it at my NETLOGON share [/srv/netlogon] with rwxr-xr-x permissions. I have tried with different filenames (NTConfig.POL,

My current samba domain controller is running ClearOS. But I am migrating to ARM servers (cubieboards) and using RedSleeve for now, and Centos7arm when that gets rolling. The driver is power savings; my ROI just on power is ~15months. So I only run an NT style Domain Controller with XP clients and roaming user profiles. It works, as there are only a few systems here are really just my

Hi Everyone, Does anybody use roaming profiles in domain level? I'm looking for helps for setting up Samba as a NT4 domain member to support roaming profiles for sharing during domain logon of Windows clients. I ran into the problems. log files couldn't show specified messages, except for BUFFER_TOO_SMALL. If a profile share directory is mounted on a Windows NT DC or a Windows domain

Hi all, I am currently fighting with roaming user profiles which shall be stored on an Ubuntu 8.04 Xeon (64 bit) box. I'm running the stock Ubuntu packages (version 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4). The Ubuntu box runs as PDC with a LDAP backend. Adding a Win 2000 SP4 workstation to the domain works flawlessly. If I log on on the workstation with a root-like account (UNIX user id 0, UNIX

I want to setup a linux box with samba as a file and print server for a LAN of 20 NT 4.0 SP3 workstations. I want the home direcotories to be on the server the clients to have roaming profiles. For this, do I have to make the linux box a domain controller? I want to avoid it if I can, because the domain control code in not on the production releases. I don't want to setup an NT server either.

Hello I have big problem. I have a couple komputers with Windows as a OS. I joined those machines to the domian, but always when I try to log in i see the message: Windows cannot load roaming profile. I know, maybe this is a wrong address I've mailed but - PLEASE HELP. PLEASE.

Sorry - that should be sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=0 to disable that, not 1.

Hi, We are using Samba 3.0.22 on FreeBSD 5.5 PDC with ldap backend and roaming profiles. We meet some difficulties when users logout from some Windows 2000 SP4 clients, and storing their profiles back to the Samba server. The file NTUSER.DAT seems to be uploaded and stored in lowercase, as ntuser.dat. Then, when users try to reopen a win session, they get a corrupted new profile. This new

I''m beginning to think again about what will be different in 2.0. Here are some thoughts. a) User-defined actions will be emphasized. - A library of actions will be available with names such as: AcceptSSH AcceptDNS DropWindows (drops all SMB noise) DropBroadcasts (Silently drop all Broadcast traffic) ... The possibilities are nearly endless but should

Why is it more secure to create a separate share for storing user profiles? I've tested using: [global] logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles And this works fine. But, why not just put the profile in the home directory? I can see that a user might save a file on the desktop and then not be able to find it. When I previously used roaming profiles on a

Hello, I'm trying to get Samba to work as a PDC for a group of Windows clients. I followed two tutorials form IBM developers works: 1) using Samba as a PDC (which is missing domain controller = yes), 2) Using an LDAP Directory for Samba authentication. So I was able tu run Samba 3 as a PDC (without LDAP) - I could join a domain, add a user, machines were added automatically, roaming

Due to a change in W2K SP4 and XP SP1 (see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 327462 at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q327462) Windows checks the owner of a roaming profile folder when logging in. For some reason this check fails with Samba 3.0 (at least with our setup). It works with Samba 2.2. Any suggestions? Please CC me. I'm not on the list. Thanks, Nick
