Hello all, As I was instructed on #samba IRC channel, I will start new discussion here, about samba and a way it works. I might call myself an experienced Linux user, and self thought admin, so things in Linux are not so new to me, but lacking proper (certified) education, I still tend to roam around issues with trial&error method. Regarding samba, it is translated in my attempt to make

Hi all, We have an old 3.0.7 samba running as PDC. As we have problems with XP64 clients accessing the domain, I compiled a 3.0.23c and copied the smb.conf. Some of the client work well with the new Samba, but most of them do not. Was there any relevant change in the smb.conf part between the two versions? Thanks Bgs

Hello Mailinglist, I have created a local user "localuser" who is in the local group "localgroup" $ id uid=1001(localuser) gid=1001(localgroup) groups=1001(localgroup) My machine authenticates against Active Directory - works The AD-User "aduser" belongs to a domain group "adgroup" $ id uid=6161(aduser) gid=5513(dom?nen-benutzer)

Samba 3.0.28-0.1.95-1624-SUSE-SL10.3 A strange problem (best read in a proportional font). It only happens on an x64 XP client when accessing a Samba share. The exact same program runs fine on the same x64 XP client when the share accessed is on a Windows server or when it is run on a 32-bit XP client, regardless of whether the share belongs to a Samba server or to a Windows server. I have

Hi all, It might be an easy problem, but I haven't found anything in the docs... I have a Samba3 PDC. I have wins hook set to a DNS update script. The script works fine, I tested it. My problem is that according to the scripts logging, samba only calls it for its own refresh. It only sends lines like this every 20 minutes: refresh SAMBA 20 259200 192.168.1.253 No client updates reach

Hi all, I encountered a bug, that prevents me from moving mail and as a side effect it messes up all thunderbird/mozilla mail clients (they won't do any message copy/move until I restart them).

Hi, I am running a Samba 2.2.7a on Redhat 7.3 in a NT domain. For authentication I am using the domainusers.This is done by Winbind 2.2.7a which verifies the existens of the users on the PDC. So I dont't have to create local users (/etc/passwd) for users who want to connect to the shares in the smb.conf. I authorise them by adding valid users = domain+domainuser to the smb.conf. This works

Considering the following page... http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/small.html First of, my compliments to John for some great examples to study. In my mind I see three levels of security: 1) Linux - such as SSH'ing into the Linux server, Linux accounts and groups come into play here 2) Samba PDC - "Domain Admins" "Domain Users" come into play here. Examples

Hi, I have mentioned before that we have added some sdt dtrace probes in SAX, our APL interpreter. Encouraged by Angelo and Jignesh, I have created a small document (5 pages) describing our experience with it, together with some problems we have encountered and some scripts we use for pretty-printing dtrace outputs. The said document can be found at

Greetings, I'm running Samba on a Debian stable server and have run into a problem I can't seem to get past. It's version 3.2.5. The basic setup is that it authenticates users via 'security = ads' and controls access to individual shares using local groups via 'valid users = @localgroup'. All of the users have accounts in /etc/password and are added to the groups in

Greetings, I''d like to mark incoming traffic based on TOS to use the mar for backtraffic routing. I have two gateways on the same net and incoming traffic may arrive from any of them. I want the return packets to go the same way. My plan is: Normal traffic goes through default gw. Traffic from the other has TOS 0x08 set. I''d like to mark traffic with TOS and use fwmark

Hi I cannot seem to find any information regarding this in the mailing lists . I am testing a UNIX PDC before I implement it to general use in the network . It works fine It would appear with the win 2000 clients. But I essentially have two problems 1. When I have PGP installed on the machine and log in with a roaming profile . It creates a network associates folder that does not get

Hello, Server: Ubuntu Lucid server version Role: Samba file server (I administer it) Authentication: Against a Windows AD (I do not administer it) using winbind.
