Hi! I am seeing other users with the same problem as I have. My samba also fails to add machine accounts. It seems to me if it didn't even try. If I use some other script (pdbedit, smbldap-tools) than smbpasswd it manages to add the account but still fails to authenticate within the same session. If I try again the machine account exists and authentication goes ok. server:~# smbpasswd -a -m

There is OBVIOUSLY something wrong somewhere. EITHER a WHOLE bunch of us are stupider than we thought, the documentation left off a step, or there is something SO blatently obvious that we are ALL staring it in the face and missing it inches in front of our faces. This is exactly what I've had, (BUT I *D*I*D* have it running ok ...) and I STILL havent figured it out yet,... Subject:

Hi. I've been at it for a solid week now....trying to figure out how to mount a smbfs-resource at boot. See i need to do the following; mount -t smbfs //<machine_name>/<share> /home/<usr_name>/music ...only thing is, I have to run the cmd as a regular user. The easiest thing would offcourse be to have i run at when booting, but i don't know how to do that. Any help

/etc/fstab: //machine_name/SAN /mnt/SAN cifs defaults 0 0 [root at machine_name SAN]# mount -a Password: mount error 13 = Permission denied Problem is there is no password to the smb server. Why am I getting a password prompt when the share has full RW access and all access is granted on the share? Note, though the share is fully visable and accessable and writeable by just browsing the

First thing - I'd like to say a big "THANK YOU" to the developers. I just upgraded to samba-3.0.23 and I've noticed an alarming issue with respect to my configuration. I've been using the built-in keytab management and it looks like the updated code no longer creates the userPrincipal in Active Directory. Whether this is an issue for others or not, it would be nice to have

Hi All, I have setup my samba as a PDC and testparm gives me the right result, but when I am trying to add my XP client to SAMBA I receive an error as "Logon failure: bad username or password" or "Username could not be found". I am using root as the domain administrator and have added root account using smbpasswd and can see it using pdbedit -Lv. I can logon successfully

I am running it to a problem adding a WinXP Computer to my samba PDC. It is coming up with an error about the trust accounts. I have tried the registry patch with no success. Any suggestions? Kevin

Dear Michael, I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 machine and win xp pro. Besides I performed all the steps below. >From my postings I learned that the prob might have something to do with a wrong mapping in smbusers file. It seems to me that the workstation account is mapped to user nobody. Up to now I was not able to solve the prob. Do you have any ideas

Hi again! ;) Sorry if I'm being a pest, but I'd really like to be able to have my samba as a PDC. Okay, I've now joined the domain and rebooted. Now I'd like to login to the domain. On the login screen, I've chosen a name which is in the LDAP and thus should be a domain user. I've also selected to login to MDKGROUP (domain name); ie. I changed it from

Is this a bug or what... Setup: samba-2.2.6.p2_1 as Windows PDC Installed via ports on FreeBSD 4.7 RELEASE on install I enabled Syslog support, Recycle Bin, and Quota support. Everything installs properly I created the groups machines:201, and admins:200. Added every user with the command "smbpasswd -a <username>" Also added every machine with this command "smbpasswd -a -m

Hi All, I have a setup using tdbsam as a backend, I can add accounts using pdbedit -a <username> but I have only been able to add one machine account. I can't figure out why. # pdbedit -a -m test tdb_update_sam: SAM_ACCOUNT (test$) with no RID! Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?) I have verified that there is no entry in /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow for the machine name I

Running recent cvs from head branch, attempting to list shares on a machine running win2k. Can anyone tell what is wrong here. It does have several shares including a printer. I can connect with: smbclient /chub/SHARE -U Adminstrator (and get prompted for password) What does the line `NetShareEnum failed' below, mean (Sorry about verbose output) #

I built OpenSSH as a 64-bit binary on Solaris 9, using gcc 3.3.2, OpenSSL 0.9.7c and zlib 1.2.1. sshd starts up normally, and will begin the login session, however, some time after it reads /etc/default/login, it faults and kills the connection. There are no error messages logged to syslog (with LogLevel set to DEBUG) or with the -ddd option. Here's a truss of the failure: 8132:

Kristyan (and all) I just searched the samba website, and I couldnt find any reference to spnego except for a slide show (samba-lwny.ag ) that I can't open. ANYWAY. since I can't find any reference to the spnego parameter, could someone explain what it is, what it does, and HOW it can help us "stupid" people? It doesnt seem to be a parameter I've come across before..

I have followed the FAQs and HOW-TOs, including the Sign and Seal registry patch, but I am unable to make this work. RedHat 9.0 Samba 3.0.0rc4 XP Pro SP1 When I setup the PC and join the domain, it gives me the 'Welcome to the Domain' message, but I really don't think that this has worked because of errors in the log file, (yes I can provide, and yes I am using the smb user root).

Hello, I'm new to rsync, and I'm confused about something. I was under the impression that it used some sort of diff function to save time & bandwidth when copying over files. I'm using it to backup files from one computer to another, and it works exactly as I thought it would, except that it seems to be copying entire files over when they've change rather than the

I have read over the lists and search the web, I know this question has been asked before, but I've not been able to fix my problem so I'll ask here. I have been successful in joining the XP machine to the domain however it when I try to login to the domain windows instantly kicks up the message: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domaincontroller is down or

Hi, I have a C5.8 machine with several DomU's. I fubared the fstab on one of them and I need to get it into single user mode. Does anyone know how to do that? I tried adding single to the extras line in /etc/xen/machine_name but it still tries to start in level 3. To make things worse, the root partition is on LVM. Alternatively, does anyone know how to access the image from DomU? I tried

Hi, I'm trying to use the sambaUserWorkstations option to allow users to log on certain computers only. This option looks great... In fact it looks now a lot better than the 'ldap filter' one than was deprecated with samba 3.0.20... The fact is, if the sambaUserWorkstations option works well with machine names, it doesn't seem to work when specifying groups of machines.
