Hello all.... I need help and I'm just about at my wits end. First let me state that I can not give logfiles in email since the Samba servers are on the secure side of my world and contain sensitive information. If by my stating my problem, I am hoping that someone will point me in certain directions that I have not tried.
We have two samba servers on our site. Both are running Samba 3.0.0. Sun Server using Solaris 9 Kernel 112233-11. First one is authenticating to a NT PDC. NT domain. We have NT's that map their drives to this and it works just fine....Users could not be happier. It uses a VERY simple smb.conf file. The shares are either home or data directories that are automounted via NIS automounts on our Sun or SGI servers . Shares to our servers are functional. Second one is authenticating to a Windows 2K Server. Windows 2K domain. We have NT's and W2K's and XP's This does not work well. It did but for some reason it just stopped working. We have no clue what the problem is, but have to pinpoint the problem. We work with various domains on our site and we do not have administrator to the windows desktops. We do have the Administrator rights on the Windows 2K server. Not that this helps....I have no clue what I am doing on the Windows side. We use the SAME smb.conf file with a few changes. The workgroup = 2Kdomain, the netbios name is different. Both servers were setup for: [global] workgroup = <nt or 2k domain> encrypted passwords = yes update encrytped = yes password server = <one or two> passwd chat debug = yes log level = 5 log file = /var/adm/samba.log name resolve order = host deadtime = 10 [homes] path = /home/%u read only = No browseable = No All other shares just like homes...very simple. What happens is that we start the #2 Samba server... smbd and nmbd start.... All ok...so far On the windows side in a Command window do a # net view \\two-samba-server... see shares. there is hope! Map network drive from NT or XP... All ok so far drill down to any directory.... it hangs on the windows side. If I try to create a new folder... it hangs on the windows side. If you look at the Home directory on the Unix side, it created the directory. You can kill the smbd process for the user on the unix server and it will release the process from the Windows box but you then have to Disconnect the network drive and remap it. Not that you would want to since it does not work. I got the bright idea today to join the samba server to the domain. So I did that by issuing the command: net join -w 2Kdomain -U Administrator It asked for the password..I put it in.... It stated: Joined domain 2Kdomain This did not work either... So that is about it....Just a note about the LOG files.... Everytime I drill down in the directories, the logfile lists all the files of that directory. It even states that I was trying to open a .txt file even though it didn't open. Any ideas? I have customers that are developing in the Win2K domain...their customers are rather ticked...so I have to resolve this. Thanks for any assistance...
