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.

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

I've followed the OpenLDAP + SAMBA Domain Controller tutorial step-by-step: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=640760 And after long hours, and enless googling, I've yet to find a solution. LDAP works great SAMBA works great. But the intergration between them don't work. Here is the samba log: root:/etc# tail /var/log/samba/log.smbd smbd version 3.0.28a started. Copyright

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

Hello, I'm having some trouble using Samba to backup my PC with Lenovo's Rescue and Restore. In the course of analysing potential causes of the problem, I noticed in my Samba server's log (pertaining to my client PC) several "can't do this" or "can't do that" messages. Specifically, here are the messages that appear constantly: [2009/01/12 11:05:52, 0]

I'm setting up a new domain with Samba 3.0.30 as the PDC using the tdbsam backend. 'net group' yields an empty list, which is consistent with the cautious appoach that Samba takes: don't do anything automagically. But, a new Windows PDC will come online with several well-known domain users and groups. Did I miss the step where I run some stock script that creates these expected

Hi, I am really stuggeling with Samba, searched forums and checked tutorials, so far with no success. So you are my last resort and probably the first place I should have checked, but I am completly new to mail groups, so please be patient with me.

Hi, I'm trying to join a server as an AD member but it isn't working. I do: kinit ADMINISTRATOR@DOMAIN1.CO.UK which prompts for the password and displays nothing else.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a qnap TS-209Pro [www.qnap.com]. This embeds samba 3.0.23d.I configured it to connect to our Active Directory, but as soon as I set winbind enum users and winbind enum groups to "yes" in the /etc/smb.conf file, winbindd uses 100% of CPU. I've googled the problem and found a lot of problems, less solutions... Does anybody have a clue on this ? I have
