Folks, I have a new build of samba 3.3.0 ( stand alone file server ) which is configured to find all user data in an ldap directory, eg passdb backend = ldapsam. After testing I have confirmed that it all seems to work as it should with a test set of users. Now I need to figure out the best way to migrate the shares and users from the old system ( that used /etc/passwd to store user auth

I've recently migrated a handful of shares from Samba ver 2.28 to ver 3.3.4 w/ LDAP backend. Both cases are stand alone samba servers. So all is working well and I have managed to iron out some of the kinks, however now my users are complaining about excel files ( on the shares) taking too long to open as well as to save. I did some tests to get some numbers to deal with and in fact see

Folks, I am attempting to get an install of Samba authenticating against a Sun DS as a "stand alone" smb server eg. non PDC. I have the host OS ( solaris 10) properly configured to authenticate against the directory, the directory schema modified to accept the PosixAccount and SambaSamAccount objectclasses, smb.conf configured and in place and a test user in place as well. My two

Hello, I have a question about the documentation of the Samba Howto's. Specifically, I am not able to understand how group mapping ties into LDAP. I believe I understand the concept of unix to windows group mapping as laid out in chapter 12 as it relates a tdbsam, but get confused when dealing with a ldapsam back-end. There is a note listed " When the passdb back-end uses LDAP

Hai, The docs shown are a bit old, yes, i suggest start reading these. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_Share_Using_Windows_ACLs https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_a_Share_Using_POSIX_ACLs Look at the smb.conf man and search for acl ( or exec ) Greetz, Louis > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: samba [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Namens

When configuring a SunOS 5.9 box running Samba 2.2.8a with security=domain, as per http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch04.html#samba2-CHP-4-SECT-7 I get the following error "could not fetch trust account password for domain" when trying to connect to a share via 'net use * \\server\share /user:domain\username' However, 'security=user' works correctly.

I have been asked to implement Samba and integrate it with our Sun Directory 5.2 servers. I am looking for any advice that will point me in the right direction. Such as Schema modifications and such. I have found articles talking about openldap but nothing really about Sun's Directory Server. I have just started researching this, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gary

Dear R list, I've read the function writing sections on both "An introduction to R" and "R language Definition" manuals but still don't understand why the following gives an error message: fun <- function(x, ...) x + y fun(1, y=2) I get: Error in fun(1, y = 2) : object "y" not found I'd appreciate any help in understanding this. R version 2.4.1

Hi all, another French guy learning, don't bash me too hard... ;-) In fact, I'm in need of a confirmation : I'm on the way to create a Samba3+LDAP (new schemas) PDC server (no migration from NT4 nor 2K, only from an old Samba 2.0 with security=user using /etc/passwd, ie. no encrypt password). This Samba3 should be hosted on a FreeBSD 4.8 (ie. pam_ldap can work, I tested it today, but

In the midst of evaluating Dovecot for use in solving some mbox locking issues (while also waiting for our eventual migration to maildir), I had an epiphany. It looks like Dovecot's auto-detection of mail formats would allow us to migrate from mbox to maildir on a user-by-user basis! I was thinking: 1. Let dovecot autodetect mail storage 2. Use some procmail trickery to detect which format

Hi, i have two files (file1.txt and file2.txt) which i would like to merge, based on certain criteria, i.e. it combines data based on matching geneID and exons. i have used the merge option, but it does not give me the desired outcome. merged.txt shows the result i would like. *File1. txt* ** AffyProbe ProbeType Flag GeneSymbol GeneID Exons Chrom Strand Affytart AffyEnd 1

List, documenters; I'd like to exchange notes about the official Samba 3 LDAP doco. I'd like to do this off list, since doing it on list would simply confuse and confound users wit perfectly working systems. Background: Me, Samba relative newbie, though I can get *everything* Samba-orientated to work simply by using umpteen years Unix experience. Many years as Openldap admin. With

OK, I have just discovered what may be a conceptual flaw in realtime extensions. DB schema as follows: uniqueid, context, exten_id, priority, application, application_data Primary key is uniqueid with an compound index of context and exten_id data looks something like this: xxxxx, sip, 5555551212, 1, SetVar,ext=${EXT} xxxxx, sip, 5555551212, 1, Goto, officevm|2|1 The database is MySQL

Hi all, I have a Samba share set up using POSIX ACLs as the permissions backend. I am seeing an issue where files created via the Samba get execute permissions whereas files created via shell do not. Here’s my demonstration using “share2” as the root of my share: [root at samba srv]# ls -l total 0 drwxrwx---+ 2 root root 65 Dec 17 18:40 share2 [root at samba srv]# getfacl share2/ # file:

Hello! As discussed in the previous thread about "Dovecot deliver logging problem and procmail" I have made a small patch for procmail to deliver through dovecot's deliver program (or any other delivery program). So Procmail does not write the mailboxes directly any more. So delivery is done through pipes and an external program which can deliver the files. Since dovecot's

I tried to use samba 3.0.2alpha in a ldap environment ( netscape 4 diretory server ) with xp sp1 and window 2000 server as client. I followed the ignacio coupeau tutorial's. I have some questions about samba 3 architecture and nt 2000 in general. Ignacio coupeau have 2 domain's logon, with exactly the same configuration. it seems to work on my lan but I'd like to understand how. I

Hi, I am running dashboard 1.1.0rc1 under passenger 3.0.5 and apache 2.2.3 with puppet 2.6.6. Im trying to get urls like this http://user:password@host working as suggested in the docs for reporting but atm i did not get it (401 auth requided). Maybe I am forgetting something? I use a common .htpasswd file. Auth type Basic, etc. Sorry if this has been seen in this mailing-list. I searched for

These are the latests.. And the Why, Andrew already explain. Due to the mappings with windows acls. If the exec bit is missing, no windows programm will be allowed to start of a share. If i download an msi file to install and put it on a share, its not allowed to execute it. Which is exact what i want in my case. You might want to read

Can anyone point me to a guide on migrating Linux and Samba accounts to LDAP? I can only find part guides, and I can't figure out how to get the account data combined (without a lot of manual effort). I can get the Linux accounts over no problems. I then tried to do "pdbedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsame -s /path/to/modified/smb.conf", but it only manages to stuff things up by skipping
