Hi there We've had three incidents this year where users connected to Samba shares (on CentOS systems) and appeared as the incorrect Windows account. e.g "dom\user1" would connect, but any files they created would be owned by Unix user "dom\user2" This is of course pretty nasty. We normally delete all the cache and winbind TDB files and restart and that fixes it - but

Hi there We've been merrily chugging away with a large number (>30) of samba-3.2.11 CentOS4.8 servers for some time now. Unfortunately in the past two months our AD team has started replacing our Win2K3 domain controllers with Win2K8 RODC (read-only DCs). As each site has been migrated over to RODCs, the Samba server associated with that site has started experiencing sporadic problems.

I am trying to add a (CentOS4.4) Samba-3.0.23d server to a AD Win2K3 domain and the following error occurs # /usr/kerberos/bin/kinit administrator@SUBDOM.DOMAIN # net join Using short domain name -- SUBDOM Failed to set servicePrincipalNames. Please ensure that the DNS domain of this server matches the AD domain, Or rejoin with using Domain Admin credentials. Disabled account for

We've got nicely ADS integrated Samba-3.0.27a servers that are working fine with Win2000 through to standard Vista. However, we are starting to test RC1 of Vista SP1 and discovered that once applied, that workstation cannot connect to Samba server shares - unless the share is open - i.e. no "valid user" style settings. The moment one is defined, Vista fails to connect and pops up an

Hi there I've just a Windows7 box here that is erroring with "NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES" whenever I try to connect using any samba tools: smbclient, "net", "rpcclient". This is when using Domain Admin creds, either via Kerberos (-k) or direct username%password. According to google, this is a resource problem on Windows and restarting the appropriate

Hi there I've just upgraded a working samba-3.5.8 CentOS-4.9 (yes - pretty old) server to samba-3.6.1 and can't change "idmap config". We almost immediately had issues with it not working for some users - and the logs showed we'd run out of idmap mappings (strange that never happened before with the older version...) Anyway, I edited smb.conf so that idmap config

Hi there I'm trying to get rsync for windows (tried two versions) to call "--rsh" so I can pipe rsync through openssl.exe. When I run it I get The process tried to write to a nonexistent pipe. So it looks like the CMD file I have that calls openssl.exe isn't joining up with rsync.exe? As rsync.exe defaults to calling ssh.exe, and I can even successfully call it via

Hi there We have a bunch of Samba 3.0.10+ CentOS4.4 servers that are working 100% fine when connected to from users who are members of the same ADS domain our Samba servers are members of. However, users from other ADS domains (we are all W2K3-based) on our network cannot connect - they get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. The shares they are trying to connect to have no share-level permission checks -

Hi there Samba is a member of dom1.corp.net, there are also dom2.corp.net and dom3.corp.net - together making up the "CORP" forest. There are other forests with two-way trusts with CORP.NET, such as OTHER.NET We have a problem where Samba/winbind is inconsistent on account details and therefore access. * wbinfo -D OTHER returns details about "other.net" - good * wbinfo

Hi there I've got a problem CentOS-4.9 Samba server that we have never been able to join to an existing Win2K3/Win2K8 AD domain correctly. We have before and since installed Samba successfully on other sites btw. We actually have 55+ CentOs-4.9 Samba servers world-wide with identical configs - there's something about this one. Anyway, "net ads join -Uadmininstrator...." works

Hi there We're having problems with users attaching to our (winbind) Samba servers and being assigned the same UID. Rarely happens - not repeatable - but definitely a pattern Anyway, I've been googling about and I think I've figured out the root cause, so I thought I'd check with the community first, because if I go off an change to my new model, it could take months before I

Hi there We have a Cisco VOIP environment here, with hard and softphones. I have a softphone account/etc, but I'm a Linux user and (as far as I'm aware) there is no Cisco softphone for Linux. However I can run Asterisk. So I was wondering if there is a way to "convert" a SIP phone transaction into a SKINNY transaction so that the Cisco environment thinks it is a Cisco

Hi there I was using "username map" under 3.0.24 so that when I connected from DOM\jhaar under (ADS Win2K3) Windows, it was mapped to my local "jhaar" Unix account - with homedir "/home/jhaar", etc. However, when I upgraded to 3.0.25, I started getting NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE errors - even when just trying to list the shares. This occurred using smbclient as well as

Hi there We are having a problem where the DNS "A" records of ADS member Samba servers are disappearing from DNS. It's not routine, but it is definitely real. What we normally do is assign static IPs, create DNS records manually and then install and configure the Samba server (mainly CentOS4 and CentOS5) and "net ads join" it to the domain. This is normally good for a

Hi there We just had a problem where a user couldn't connect to a Samba server that is a full ADS member. The same user could successfully connect to Windows2K3 servers. The problem was obvious - their clock was 5 hours out, and Samba rejected their connections with a "Failed to verify incoming ticket". Correcting the time fixed the fault. However, it remains that Samba rejected

[background: we rsync Gbs of data over our WAN, so want to run rsync as efficiently as possible. We have Linux "rsync servers" that mount local Windows file servers - i.e we use Linux-rsync to replicate data between Windows file servers. (why? we found Linux IP stack to be superior over our WAN)] I know that "--partial" on it's own merely makes the rsync server process

Hi there I've just done some brief reading up on SCTP, and I get the impression it will allow multiple "threads" of streamed data as part of one connection? I was wondering what impact that would have on high bandwidth, high latency links? Currently our bottleneck in using rsync is due to that. We have fat pipes and yet a single rsync session cannot saturate it due to the latency.

I got curious as to how rsync operates, and got a few tests going under ethereal. The results confused me more. I created /tmp/test-out/ containing two different text files - one named "file.txt" and the other "data.gz". ie. data.gz wasn't actually compressed - it was actually text. I then created an empty directory on a rsync server to replicate that data to. I did a

I'm running Samba-3.0.23d on CentOS4.4 servers. We have a process where people can upload files (from WinXP) to a directory over Samba, and then a Unix cronjob picks those files up, moves them to another directory (outside of Samba) and does things to them. The problem is that when the file moves occur, WinXP doesn't show the files have disappeared. Even days later the files show up as

Hi there I've just upgraded to 3.2.2 and it still looks like nested group support isn't finished? e.g. if I have "domain1/user1" in group "domain2/group1" and that in turn is in "domain3/group2" (i.e. domain1/user1 is in domain3/group2), then "getent group domain3/group2" should return domain1/user1 - and yet it doesn't.
