Hi All, I am using CentOS 5.3 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 clone). CentOS and RHEL being what they are, they always use old stuff to maintain enterprise stability. $rpm -qa \*samba\* samba-common-3.0.33-3.7.el5 system-config-samba-1.2.41-3.el5 samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5 samba-client-3.0.33-3.7.el5 Is it permissible to file bugs on these old version, seeing as Samba is up to 3.3.3?

Is there a way to use nss_wins to get the hosts of the windows domain without joining the domain? I do have a login into the network but the company I am with is a bit sticky about allowing a linux machine to join the network. If it is possible, is there some kind of how to to do it and what I need to configure to make it work? Does it require winbindd to run? I am currently running under

Hi, I have a very small setup, one XP/clinet and one Vista/client and a Ubuntu/samba server. I like to cleanup my log.smbd but I can't figure out how! I have everything up and running and I can access the share's from the XP client. I googled around and it seems that I should bind some Windows group/user against Unix group/users with something like 'net groupmap add rid=2512

I have a friend that had a samba server go down. They switched to another server and are having problems with people logging into it from Windows 98. If the same user logs in from WinXp then everything works otherwise they get an error. He also said that the smb.conf files were the same on both servers. >From the errors it almost looks like some sort of permission problem, but since it logs

Hi! First, let me apologize for the length of this message. I wanted to include as much relevant info as I could and it got a bit lengthy. For reasons that I won't bother to detail here, I ended up volunteering to upgrade the server at my kids school. It's a small private school with an all-volunteer tech support staff (me!). We currently have about 40 computers serving about 150 people.

Hi, I am trying to set up squid to authenticate using the ntlm module. In order to do this I am trying to get winbindd to run in proxy only mode. I am running Samba 2.0.23c. I have no references to idmap or winbind in my smb.conf. I was of the impression this should cause winbindd to start in proxy only mode. Starting winbindd results in: Jan 30 12:04:33 FS1 winbindd[15332]: [2007/01/30

Hi list, My brand new samba network is working pretty good, ironing out some glitches. Win XP users cannot change their password. I use SaMBa as a domain-controller with an LDAP backend. A stripped down version of the config is below. I set minimum password length to 8, trying to change the password to a 7 char long gives me the messages that the password does not meet requirements. So that
