[Samba] LDAP Authentication (Linux Documentation Wiki)
A few months ago, I posted about a Linux Documentation Wiki I created at my company. Well, it's moved. It's now here: http://linuxwiki.riverworth.com/ There isn't much on it yet except for my wonderful, excellent, fantastic, LDAP Authentication document: http://linuxwiki.riverworth.com/index.php/LDAP_Authentication Okay, perhaps I'm exaggerating the quality a touch! I'm hoping the linux community will help it grow in to something that really is wonderful, excellent, fantastic, and maybe even _complete_!

[Samba] Why Are Some Users' Print Jobs Always Held Pending?
CUPS Version: 1.1.23-10sarge1 I believe this to be a CUPS problem, but since it only seems to affect users printing via Samba, perhaps it has been encountered by others here. I have cups installed and can print to it via Linux just fine. I also have installed via Samba (via cupsaddsmb) and most WinXP users can print just fine, too. However, a few (3 of about 20) users have the odd problem that every one of their print jobs gets put in the queue and held. I have to manually go in to the web interface and click release job for every one of them. The other 17 or so users have their jobs go straight through. All WinXP machines are on the same subnet on the same domain with identical (automated, unattended) installations. The cups logs show that the jobs are being held but do not state any reason why. What would cause the jobs of a few users to be held while others print immediately? Can I increase the log verbosity to tell why jobs are held?

[Samba] Re: Samba print problem (everything looks right)
I read your posts on samba mailing list. I have the same problem: I can print, but I can't open the printer properties page (no driver message...). For me also, the drivers are read from samba server e written on C:\WinNT\System32\spool\drivers\... (I have removed him in advance to test this). There was a bug in the cupssmbadd program that stripped all end-of-line characters during the conversion. (Many thanks to Vincent Nicolas for catching this!)

Re: [Samba] Autenticationg Many SAMBA Servers against one LDAP
I was posed the question stated on the subject: Can I use one LDAP server as authentication backend for many SAMBA Servers? Easily. I would expect one LDAP server should be able to support hundreds, perhaps thousands of clients, including samba servers.

[Samba] LDAP Upgrades (both Unix and Samba)
The latest version of this document can be found at
http://pobox.com/~bcwhite/ldap-upgrade.txt
Last Updated: 2006-05-23
I just upgraded our company's network from a system created 6 years ago
(NIS and SMBPASSWD) to an up-to-date one (for 2006, at least) including
a central LDAP server. It was a far from painless experience, so I
thought I'd write up the experience in the hope that it may help others.
If I've left anything out, please let me know.
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or if I've left there,
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
I used my own cfile utility (http://sf.net/projects/cfile) to manage
all the configuration files across multiple machines. I hope to package
it up for Debian soon.
Here's what I did... Note that I'm using Debian 3.1 as my installed system.
Create an LDAP Server (apt-get install slapd)
~~
Ref:http://www.metaconsultancy.com/whitepapers/ldap.htm
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LDAP-HOWTO/
http://www.grennan.com/ldap-HOWTO.html
SLAPD has to be one of the most difficult things to wrap your head
around I've ever come across. Perhaps if you spoke LDAP in your sleep,
it would all be obvious, but I've smoothed out the brick wall next to me
banging my head against it these past few days.
Getting SLAPD (v2.2.23) started wasn't much trouble. I set my suffix
(aka base) to dc=precidia. This would typically be
dc=precidia,dc=com, but I'm lazy. I also set my default password
style to SSHA (salted-SHA) and set an administrator access point. Since
I planned on disabling this access point later, I just used a basic
crypt to store the password.
# secret is password, XX is salt (use any two letters or
numbers)
perl -e 'print crypt(secret,XX),\n'
XXIABNgk3eFuw
password-hash SSHA
rootdn cn=root,dc=precidia
rootpw {crypt}XXIABNgk3eFuw
Also, create all the appropriate indices for speed:
index objectClass eq
index cn pres,sub,eq
index sn pres,sub,eq
index uid pres,sub,eq
index displayName pres,sub,eq
index uidNumber eq
index gidNumber eq
index memberUid eq
index sambaSIDeq
#index sambaPrimaryGroups eq
index sambaDomainName eq
index default sub
Push these changes with: /etc/init.d/slapd force-reload
In brief, LDAP is an object storage system where objects are grouped
(typcially) by an organizationalUnit, or ou for short. Of course,
you can't simply store an object specifying a new ou=something; you
first have to create an object that describes it. Thus, before you can
store objects in ou=Domains you first have to store the object:
dn: ou=Domains,dc=precidia
ou: Domains
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
The first line is the distinuguished name and is the unique identifier
for this object. Every object has one and it details the hierarchy
under which the object is stored. In this case, my base (the root of
my tree) is dc=precidia and the sub-tree is Domains. Despite the
fact that I said you cannot store an object in a ou=Domains without
first creating it, it is possible to create it and store it there at the
same time.
Enabing Ssecure LDAP (ldaps) is left as an exercise to the reader!
(That means I haven't yet done it at the time this was written.)
Luckily, the LDAP Account Manager will do much of that for you...
Migrate Existing UNIX Information
~
Ref:http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6266
http://www.gurulabs.com/goodies/downloads.php
http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads/ldapmigrate
For this, I used the ldapmigrate perl script desribed above. For this
to run, you'll have to install libnet-ldap-perl and maybe a few
others. Then, on your ldap server, do:
cd /var/data/ldap
/etc/init.d/slapd stop
rm -f *
/etc/init.d/slapd start
This will give you a clean database to start from. I restarted from
this point many, many times.
Create an admin account for LDAP administration. It will need a valid
password but should have an invalid shell to prevent unix login (because
it will eventually have root access -- see Samba section). A vaild home
directory may be useful, though.
Before doing the migration, I edited the ldapmigrate script and
changed all occurances of Group to Groups for naming consistancy and
to match the defaults of the LDAP Account Manager.
Then do the migration...
LDAPBIND=cn=root,dc=precidia
LDAPPASS=secret
LDAPBASE=dc=precidia
LDAPHOST=localhost
[Samba] URGENT: Samba Won't Substitute %u In Logon * When LDAP Is Used
Version: 3.0.14a (debian stable: 3sarge1)
I'm just about finished converting our company's network from NIS to
LDAP. Part of that involved updating Samba to use that same directory
so all the information is maintained in one place.
Most everything is good, except that my roaming profiles won't work. My
smb.conf file is attached.
Upping the log level eventually showed messages like this:
[2006/05/22 15:16:29, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(108)
unix_convert called on file %u
[2006/05/22 15:16:29, 10] smbd/statcache.c:stat_cache_lookup(210)
stat_cache_lookup: lookup failed for name [%U]
[2006/05/22 15:16:29, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(175)
unix_convert begin: name = %u, dirpath = , start = %u
I traced this to the logon path configuration item. Samba is choosing
the value from the smb.conf file because I don't have these values set
within the LDAP directory; I just want to use the default generated one.
However, it semes that Samba is NOT substituting the %u in this case
even though it was when LDAP was not in use. At least logon path and
logon home are affected; maybe more.
To verify, I manually changed every %u in the smb.conf file to
bcwhite and then I can log on with my profile and home directory just
fine. An okay solution for me, but the rest of my users might complain.
Since my users are expecting to return tomorrow (after a long weekend)
and use their WinXP machines, I'd appreciate it if someone can shed some
light on this problem asap.
Thanks much!!!

Re: [Samba] Samba/DLAP Howto
Newbie here...wanting to implement and test Samba (current version, 3.0.22) as a PDC on LDAP backend. I'm just finishing doing the same thing. I've tried to write it all down and I'll post it here when I'm done (perhaps even later today). As you've noticed, there are quite a few on the net. I'm afraid mine will be just one more. I'd prefer a pretty step-by-step how-to, that doesn't assume I know much at all. It's not a trivial process, I assure you. I spent a full week preparing on a test server and another two days to make the conversion on the real network.

[Samba] Samba Print Problem (Everything Looks Right)
I'm trying to get Samba to print with CUPS and the universal postscript driver. I've followed the HOWTO at http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html (a truely great work, IMO). However, I cannot get a WinXP or Win2K machine to automatically install the driver when I double-click on the printer after browsing the share. I've done everything up to and including step #10. I can use rpcclient and see the driver installed. The only difference I see is that cupsaddsmb (v1.2) put the driver (cups-windows v6.0) under the 3 subdirectory instead of the 2 directory. titan:/var/log/samba$ rpcclient -Ubcwhite%secret -c 'getdriver Doyle' share [Windows NT x86] Printer Driver Info 3: Version: [3] Driver Name: [Doyle] Architecture: [Windows NT x86] Driver Path: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\pscript5.dll] Datafile: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\Doyle.ppd] Configfile: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\ps5ui.dll] Helpfile: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\pscript.hlp] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\cupsui6.dll] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\cupsps6.dll] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\cups6.ini] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\pscript.ntf] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\pscript.hlp] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\ps5ui.dll] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\Doyle.ppd] Dependentfiles: [\\SHARE\print$\W32X86\3\pscript5.dll] Monitorname: [] Defaultdatatype: [RAW] Not only that, I've connected with smbclient and retrieve one of those files back to my hard drive (always as bcwhite), so I know they exist and are readable.

Re: [Samba] Samba Print Problem (Everything Looks Right)
(a truely great work, IMO). However, I cannot get a WinXP or Win2K machine to automatically install the driver when I double-click on the printer after browsing the share. Actually, now that I think about it... Perhaps I'm not completely accurate with that statement. In fact, when I double-click to open the printer, it does connect and give me a print-queue window. It's only when I trying to bring up the properties for that printer that it tells me no driver is installed and asks if I want to search for one. However, even if I say no, the properties dialog does come up (just the print queue settings -- no printer driver options) and I can successfully print a test page. So... What am I missing?

Re: [Samba] Samba Print Problem (Everything Looks Right)
Try 'guest ok = yes' - otherwise any slight change in credentials will block access to the print$ share - and anyway, it shouldn't matter if an unauthorised user can copy your driver files ;-) Tried that, but it didn't make any difference. In fact, when I double-click to open the printer, it does connect and give me a print-queue window. It's only when I trying to bring up the properties for that printer that it tells me no driver is installed and asks if I want to search for one. This is the classic scenario of 'the driver was never originally installed' - I don't know if you can successfully install it from here, I've always deleted the locally installed printer and then gone back to the server and double-clicked on the printer again. I've done that dozens of times now. I've even gone to a fresh Win2K install. They all say the same thing: The 'Doyle' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now? Reading this more carefully... I originally assumed it meant that it couldn't find the printer driver for Doyle the printer. But this says it can't find the Doyle printer driver, which is (somewhat) different. The cupsaddsmb program creates the driver with the same name as the printer. Thus, the printer Doyle uses the Doyle printer driver. Anyway... I did a search on C:\ and found Doyle.BPD and Doyle.ppd in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3, so it has found and copied all 8 files to that directory (cupsui6.dll, cupsps6.dll, cups6.ini, pscript.ntf, pscript.hlp, ps5ui.dll, Doyle.ppd, and pscript6.dll). However, even if I say no, the properties dialog does come up (just the print queue settings -- no printer driver options) and I can successfully print a test page. Yes, Windows will display the standard pages that aren't driver specific. That's odd that you can print a test page though. So... What am I missing? Did you install the PostScript driver or the CUPS driver? From your last post it looks like both are installed at the same time - but as I've never used the CUPS driver, that might be normal. Although it could explain why you were able to print (via one driver) but not display the properties (problem with the other driver.) The cups driver seems to be an extension of the Microsoft one. You have to copy _both_ sets to the /usr/share/cups/drivers directory (something far from clear in the man page) before the cupsaddsmb script will work. When you double-click on the printer on the server (assuming it's not installed locally) that's when it tries to copy the driver across. What happens when you do this? It seems to work. It opens the queue window. I haven't seen any jobs on it, but then I'm just re-building the network here, so there isn't anyone else around to print. If I try to open the properties for the printer I'll get the error mentioned above. This whole thing summarizes what I hate most about Windows... When it doesn't work, it's darn near impossible to find out why! No strace, no source code, no logs, nothing.

Re: [Samba] Samba Print Problem (Everything Looks Right)
I've done that dozens of times now. I've even gone to a fresh Win2K install. They all say the same thing: Ah, so this is on Win2K? (Your original post said XP as well.) I'm actually having a very similar problem with Win2K, and most annoying of all it used to work fine. And it still does, but now with XP only. For me if I click 'yes' to install the printer driver it comes up asking me for an .INF file, which I obviously don't have. Can you try it on an XP box? It sounds like it should work there - I've yet to find a solution for Win2k. All my WinXP boxes are behaving the same as the Win2K unit. I just don't have a fresh install of a WinXP box handy at the moment.

Re: [Samba] Samba Print Problem (Everything Looks Right)
Can you try it on an XP box? It sounds like it should work there - I've yet to find a solution for Win2k. All my WinXP boxes are behaving the same as the Win2K unit. I just don't have a fresh install of a WinXP box handy at the moment. That shouldn't make a difference - it works fine for me on XP machines that have gone years without a reinstall. You're able to run \\server\print$ from the client machines? I suppose so, otherwise the files you've seen wouldn't have been copied across. All I can suggest is removing/renaming the .tdb files related to printing, restarting Samba and then rerunning cupsaddsmb. I've had a few issues with cupsaddsmb, it has to be run *just* right to work. If it asks you for a password more than once, it probably hasn't worked. Try adding one printer at a time (if you have more than one) as opposed to using the -a option to add all printers at once. Yes, I can access the share just fine. As I get in to it, it looks like it's not a samba problem but something to do with the CUPS driver install. It's been copied to the WinXP machine (I can see all the files in the appropriate directories on the Windows machine) and I can print test pages. It just won't let me configure it. Hmmm... I think that's the key point right there. It works, but I can't _configure_ it! Now, if I only knew of what that is indicitive. thoughtful look Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! It's all helpful!

Hmmm... I think that's the key point right there. It works, but I can't _configure_ it! That could mean that the DLL that provides the configuration tabs isn't initialising properly. When you deleted the printer and tried to re-add it, did you also uninstall the driver from the Windows box? I tried fully removing the driver (Settings, Printers Faxes, File Menu, Server Properties, Drivers Tab, Remove) and then reconnecting to the printer. Same problem. That could explain why you weren't seeing any requests for the print$ share when you re-added the printer. Yup. I think you're right. It's looking more and more like a pure CUPS problem. I'm trying to get on their mailing list to see what I can find out.

Re: [Samba] URGENT: Samba Won't Substitute %u In Logon * When LDAP Is Used
I just upgraded to 3.0.22 (debian testing) and have the same problem. I could really use some help on this one!!! Use %U. Be watch out as this will actually become deprecated functionality in future releases. Just figured that out. Thanks! Why is this being depricated? The variable syntax is ambiguous with client side environment variables.Hint: %L ? Or %LOGONSERVER% ? You can leave out the values from the passdb backend and the default values from smb.conf will still be expanded though. I don't have any values for these coming from LDAP. It's the smb.conf settings that aren't getting the %u (lower-case u) expanded.

I don't have any values for these coming from LDAP. It's the smb.conf settings that aren't getting the %u (lower-case u) expanded. Lower '%u' can only be used in a share (as a general rule). Ah. Okay. That would explain why it's wrong. I used it previously (don't know the exact samba version) and it worked then so it must have broken when I upgraded samba. Unfortunately, all the ldap changes went in at the same time so I assumed the problem had something to do with that. Thanks for clarifying!

[Samba] Wierd 8.3 Name Mangling
I've installed Samba 3.0.7 (stock Debian package), but I'm having some wierd problems with name mangling. The relevant lines in smb.conf are: preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes mangled names = yes mangle prefix = 5 mangling method = hash2 In a share, I did touch test-file.GHO to create a long filename. When I do a dir under DOS, however, it shows: TVTSSK~S GHO 0 11-02-04 3:07p test-file.GHO I can't see how samba came up with this mangled name. I tried changing the mangle prefix and/or mangle method but it made no difference. I made sure I killed the smbd process after any changes I made and can see it being restarted and a new TCP connection established to it. Any ideas? Thanks!

[Samba] DOS Properties Not Networkable?
If I right-click on an executable program (like a DOS batch file) that resides on a samba share and set properties like full screen, that property is remembered on the machine with which I made the change. However, if I go to another machine and run that file, it uses the default properties. Doing a right-click from the other machine and viewing the properties also shows all the defaults. - Is there a way to set network-wide properties for a file? - Where does Win98 store my properties locally if not on the network? - Is there any way to force a batch file to run full-screen? (I tried start from within another batch file but that can only do a maximized window, not full-screen.) Thanks! Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- Do, or do not.

Re: [Samba] DOS Properties Not Networkable?
I think you need to make a short cut to the bat file. I do not think that DOS executables ever store this info by default. I have done this before. I think it's either just a short cut or a pif file. You then specify the screen, memory and other setting via the shortcut which then references the oroginal exe file. Thanks! That did it. I went looking all over for a Win98 pif editor without ever realizing that creating a shortcut actually created one of those files. sigh Thanks! I'm still curious where my machine stores the information when I adjust the properties on the batch file directly. It is persistant and I don't see any other files created. I haven't tried rebooting... perhaps it's memory-resident only. Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- Do, or do not.

Re: [Samba] Re: XP logon failure but still logs on -- no roamingprofile
Okay. I guess the next thing to do is try with a fresh installation and then see if it occurs again as elements get added. our setup... xp-pro (pre sp1) and office2k, local profiles only, sign-or-seal; no problems so far. I didn't have any troubles with local profiles either. My hope was to set up all the Windoze boxes like the unix ones which would allow everyone to log in to any machine and get their standard account (though with a speed penalty since the home directory would be mounted over the network instead of on the local drive). We don't have that now on the Win98 boxes and doesn't seem to be much of a problem, but I'd like to try... Thanks. I've noticed that XP has provisions for requiring passwords to be changed, but didn't look in to it at all. Perhaps a small script which sets the necessary registry entries? I'm trying to generate more interest in using already builtin Xp policy options/features. Why re-invent the wheel? Have you been following this thread? comments?...

I guess the next thing to do is try with a fresh installation and then see if it occurs again as elements get added. Since this was my first attempt at using XP (or any networking of an NT kernel, for that matter) it didn't really follow any strategy. It has had a few software packages installed on it and CygWin to boot (I'm trying to get Amanda to work). It's possible that one of these is causing a local file access conflict. ps: I like your ideas in logon.bat.

In this case, I counted 25 seconds before logging off since things seemed
to be running a bit slower (probably due to having the log level set to 20)
and didn't work the first time when I only waited 20 seconds. It might
be related to idle time on the network before beginning logout.

[Samba] Re: XP logon failure but still logs on -- no roamingprofile
so if you reboot you get a successful logon? xp -pre sp1 ? Usually, yes. I did get one case where it did not but the computer had been on for a while before I tried to log on. SP1 was installed. I just did another update of all critical updates but it made no difference. After I reboot, I could logon, logoff, logon, logoff, but the third time I tried to logon, I got the error. On a hunch, I tried removing everything from the logon.bat script. It didn't help, though. After a reboot, I could logon/off three times and then I started getting the error. Continuing logon/logoff sequences shows no discernable pattern, though it only fails about 1/2 to 1/3 of the tries. After restoring the content of the logon.bat file, the logon process fails much more often but not every time. I began to wonder if it had something to do with network activity/idle periods since when I was typing results in to this message, it seemed that the next logon attempt would work. Taking a more patient approach to this, I've discovered that the problem is at least somewhat related to how long I stay logged in. With the full login.bat content (because it makes the problem more obvious) I've discovered that: - Logout immediately after logon (waiting for logon.bat to complete first) causes a logon failure every time. - Waiting 20 seconds after a logon failure before logout will ensure that the next logon attempt is successful. Waiting only 10 seconds is not enough. The next logon attempt(after one that was successful) will fail even if I again wait over 30 _minutes_ before logout. - Waiting at the press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to logon prompt, even up to 60 seconds, does not help; it fails every time. Attached is the logon.bat file renamed to logon.txt so it doesn't get stripped by any virus scanners. In addition to mapping a number of network drives, it also tries to map H: to /home/userid (if it exists) or to the users home computer on the network if they're logging in to a different machine (sort of like a unix automounter would do for home directories on different machines).

sorry I've deleted your original message... ahh maybe we need to start again. Could I suggest you follow the diagnostic procedure in the docs. From memory its diagnosis.txt ..its very logical and explains things as you go. Then we'll have something to go on. Attached is the original message I posted (including the links to the log file captures I made). From the Diagnosis File (everything looks good to me) ~~ Test1: no errors (one warning about some share names being longer than 8 characters) Test2: Both machines can ping the other (time=0.5ms). Test3: Anonymous login successful (no password). All shares are shown. The client can map and access all drives. Test4: Primary IP address of server is returned. The client sits on a second ethernet card and thus different subnet that the primary address, but this doesn't seem to make any difference. The server has no firewall rules and forwards all packets between interfaces. Test5: The client IP address is returned correctly. Test6: This did a broadcast test on the primary ethernet interface and thus received responses from the two servers (the local machine and one other) instead of a response from the client on the second ethernet subnet. I added a -B 10.0.3.63 (6 bit subnet) and then received a response from the client XP machine. Test7: Connection to tmp works with both anonymous (guest) login and for a real userid. Test8: The net view works when logged in to the XP client as me, but not when logged in as Administrator. It also worked when telnetting in to cygwin as root. Test9: Connection to \\BIGSERVER\TMP worked fine though I was not prompted for a password. I was able to create and delete a file from the mapped directory. Test10: The server was found as the master browser. Again, I had to add -B 10.0.3.63 to get it to look on the secondary ethernet. Test11: The XP client can browse the server and see shares. It sees it under My Network Places/Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/precidia but I assmue this is correct. Also at the same level as the precidia domain is workgroup which is the workgroup (not domain) managed by the other server. Clicking on that shows no machines under that workgroup even though the other server knows about many. Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- Tired of spam?

[Samba] Q: Avoiding Symlink Dereferences
I've got a problem... I have a CD-ROM jukebox in which is stored some 100+ CDs. They're mounted automatically via the automounter with an executeable map. That part works well. To show people what is available, I have symlinks from another directory to all the possible CD volumes. However, if I look at that directory via Samba, the windoze box hangs for an extended period of time as it does a STAT on all the symlinks, each of which forces the mounting of the disc it references and taking about 10 seconds of time. Any ideas on how I can avoid this or at least cache the result?

[Samba] XP logon failure but still logs on -- no roaming profile
I'm having a problem with roaming domains on Samba v3.0-alpha21. I've connected the machine (watertown) to the domain (precidia) via the server (griffon). I've logged on with my userid (bcwhite) and seen my roaming profile get created on the server upon logoff. Future logons grab the roaming profile and everything is fine. However, _sometimes_ I get a window with the message: Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible causeses of this error include network probelms or insufficient security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network administrator. DETAIL - logon failure: unknown user name or bad password However, the system continues to log me on (presumably with the local copy of my profile). Upon logoff, the copy of my profile on the samba server is not updated. I know I'm using the correct password. If I try the wrong password, I get a different window and no logon: The system could not log you on. Make sure your User name and domain are correct, then type your password again. Letters in passwords must be typed using he correct case. What I don't understand is why this only happens sometimes. I rebooted and then was able to log in fine. Log out, log in fine.

[Samba] Samba Domain Support Problems
I'm out of ideas here. I'm trying to set up a computer network using samba on Linux as the primary server and a WinXP machine as the client. I'm just beginning with XP, but I've been using Linux and Samba (for Win95/98) for many years now. So, I've set up samba machine griffon to support domains... ; Domain Stuff domain master = yes domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u logon home = \\%L\%u logon script = logon.cmd add user script = /etc/samba/adduser %u This should allow automatic on-the-fly creation of new machine accounts. I've created a samba administrative account called machines in /etc/passwd machines:x:0:5000:Machine Account (creator):/tmp:/bin/false and a corresponding one in /etc/samba/smbpasswd machines:0:3E3E844D9FA7D83317306D272A9441BB:57BCEA1EC8B53A61D032E6B338A0C23B:[UX ]:LCT-3E56855C: Under XP machine watertown, I've gone to Control Panel, System, Computer Name Changes, member of domain 'precidia', OK.

Next, I added a line to /etc/samba/smbpasswd of root for samba to find root:0:CC596B7CE5FA59805ACDCD7C247FA83A:C119AEDBECEB895E7D9D0417A607:[UX ]:LCT-3E5683CF: This password happens to match the real unix password for that machine.
