So, I'm trying to paw through the long set of smb.conf options - and it's rather daunting. I'm wondering what smb.conf options are most important/appropriate/common for mostly Windows XP/7/(possibly v8) clients.

I'm still in the "what's wrong" stage of figuring out what's going on. But I've got a mail user who isn't getting new messages. Postfix accepts it and drops it in the users mbox. [This is verified. If I tail the Mbox, I can see the new messages.] "Mail" will see the messages too. But dovecot doesn't seem to know they exist. I don't think the MBox

So, I don't see much on the Wiki [actually nothing] and the relevant threads on the issue are few. So, let me try to outline what appears to be the current state of things and if I'm wrong, please correct me. Running DHCPd on the Samba 4 server works fine. Doing DDNS [dynamic DNS] updates can work with the BIND9_DLZ setup, but not the internal DNS setup. However, if the connecting Samba

Anyone? A tip on where/what to look at, even? I've read the docs on namespaces and I'm not sure how I could do this [or not do it, in this case] from the docs. I realize I didn't include the version I'm running in the prior post too. It is; 2.2.22 I'm sure this is related to name-spaces, but for some reason [brain damage perhaps? :) ] I can't seem to figure out how to

Yeah, I tried that already - and it seems to crash more badly... dsync-remote(use at abc.net)<mTEPAAUCvl4yFgAAb6OASA>: Panic: epoll_ctl(add, 0) failed: Operation not permitted (fd doesn't support epoll - instead of '<file', try 'cat file|') dsync-remote(user at abc.net)<mTEPAAUCvl4yFgAAb6OASA>: Error: Raw backtrace:

Interesting. While I don't use mbox (dbox or maildir) I wouldn't think that would matter. Your namespace layout looks nearly the same as my own. But to verify what's going on - post the output of "doveconf namespace". Possibly just reviewing that output may tell you enough - otherwise share it (fully) here. -- Daniel On 1/23/2020 12:46 PM, Gregory Sloop wrote: >

Yeah, I could setup an extra XCP box - but at smaller setups, it really seems like overkill. So, it sounds like restores of the VM work "fine." How often do machine accounts reset their passwords? [This is the one that is most likely to be problematic. Rejoining the domain means a new profile. And that's a big PITA on the client side.] User password changes can simply be handled by

I'm not clear myself on the difference myself between dsync doveadm sync doveadm dsync-server ... perhaps someone here can explain? However what worked for me was using doveadm dsync-server on the 'receive' end. Maybe that puts it in 'listen' mode? So maybe try doveadm backup -u user at abc.net \ ssh root at po.abc.net \ docker exec b3093cxxxxxx doveadm dsync-server -u

Ok, while I'm usually more comfortable installing an RPM or DEB package and having the package maintainer handle all the details for me - I don't get a choice here. The latest Ubuntu 12.04 package is the Alpha18 release. So, I've compiled my own copy of Samba4.01 - and surprise, surprise, it went well. So the crux of the question is: Where should I install it to. [What directory.]

Hmmm... Use the netbios name, instead of a FQDN, perhaps? i.e.: \\cns-bio-krak1\emtifs [I'm assuming the NB name. If I'm wrong, correct it.] I know I've done this with Windows DC shares, and I'm 99% certain I've done it with FreeNAS acting as a domain member. [Samba domain member.] I haven't done it with 18.04 / 4.7.6 - but can't see why it should be different.

So that was really helpful for me to understand that a lot more clearly. Thanks! [Many, many thanks @Plutocrat!!] But I'm still getting a similar failure. Let me give the command I'm using. doveadm backup -D -u user at abc.net \ ssh root at po.abc.net \ docker exec b3093cxxxxxx doveadm sync -D -u user at abc.net The "local" server is where the data/mail currently is.

Hi Gregory, On the questions. > Is there a good reason to avoid Samba internal DNS? No, imo not, but i only use bind9_dlz because i need bind in my lan for other setups also. I just used my RSAT on my win7 64b, but at my point it works fine. I do have questions to get a better impression of the setup. Whats the os your using with RSAT and did u use DOM\Administrator or an other account?

Top posting, because I'm lazy. :) I'm not at all sure this is correct, but... ...this sounds like a DNS resolution problem, and it may be related to systemd.resolved. Louis did a walk-through on 18.04 AD setup a while back - it might be worth finding and reading. While Louis left systemd-resolved alone, and did some trickery to work with it, I have opted to disable systemd-resolved. [I

So, some updates. I started that email a couple of hours ago - but suddenly, without changing a thing, the test client/station is suddenly now getting the correct GPO details. Yet, I've not synced the sysvol or done anything to change or update the GPO on either DC. See inline...

Hai Gregory,   No problem, now netplan, but i cant tell you much about netplan out of experiance, i've never used it. But what is it exact you want to know?? The how and why i configure like this is already a bit explained.   about this part: > So, I'm curious about the contrast between modifying netplan vs simply disabling systemd.resolved   But I did a bit reading.

Hi, I would like to save a running domain (ie. disk + memory) and be able to restore it multiple times creating duplicates of the orignal domain all starting from the same state. Use case: I'm building a task-processing system for use in a CI flow. I want to run multiple VMs in parallel using the same image (always starting from the same state). And to avoid needlessly booting between each
