Re: [Samba] Automating Windows Update
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Hi guys I was just wondering if there's already a way to automate the process of updating Windows to be specific XP. My idea is to mimic how a Windows server domain controller can rollout critical update on the entire domain. Can Samba do this? Thanks for any info What you want is a SUS, Software Update Service. You can get it for free from M$. Then all you have to do is tell the clients to poll your sus server frequently. This can be done in many serveral ways: - - by a group policy (up to now only with a Windows domain controller, which is probably what you are referring to) - - by hand (just importing a small registry snippet) - - by some sort of script doing point 2. - - ... This really has not very much to do with samba. Christopher - -- == Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [Samba] Sorry, Gerald (Jerry) Carter now please help me
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, (sorry, I am not Jerry) In the project I am planning to achieve server independency , means ---Consider an organization is having 2 kinds of server SAMBA and NFS, then if a request is made from a Samba client and required file is on NFS server then the request should get satisfied. I will be planning to convert a SAMBA request into a NFS request that is finally be given to the NFS server. The client does not care about the thing that to which server it has made request. Also, I have to make the similar thing in case of NFS client and SAMBA server. In this way it will help the system administrator to achieve a server independency. Can anybody please rate this idea as very simple simple good to do a project very difficult best one don't do such project. Sounds quite simple to me: Install samba on an NFS client and you have the first part ready. Then take a linux box, smbmount an smb share and reexport it via NFS, and you are ready. BUT: You will get into trouble with - - file locking - - authentication (there is _no_ authentication with NFS) - - permissions - - speed ...

[Samba] Re: samba-3.0.0rc4 acl-support
Hi, I´m currently testing samba-3.0.0rc4 as a pdc with acl-support. The box runs with debian-linux and a xfs-enabled 2.4.22-kernel. I have defined a share which is located on a xfs-partition. (changing acls with setfacl works well) I activated the flag : nt acl support = yes If I now try to change acls, i can open the win2k-acl-dialoge - but changes are not accepted by a permission denied message. Whats wrong ? Where can i get addtional informations about this ? I don't know about samba 3, but in samba 2.2.x acl support was an option to be set at configure time (before compiling). The smb.conf option nt acl support only maps the ordinary unix permissions to acl-like entries: nt acl support (S) This boolean parameter controls whether smbd(8) will attempt to map UNIX permissions into Windows NT access control lists. This parameter was formally a global parameter in releases prior to 2.2.2. Default: nt acl support = yes So you normally only get three entries: one for the user, one for the group, one for everybody. Christopher -- == Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [Samba] passwd program not called as root

This does not have to mean it is not run as root. Do you run NIS? Is your samba server the NIS master? If not, passwd will ask for the old password. Does it work for you, if you run passwd manually?

Re: [Samba] passwd chat debug
Hi, isn't it possible to set up a NIS machine (which is my Samba PDC and not the NIS master) to sync the passwords? While debugging the passwd chat, I saw it asks the root passwd... When a windows user changes his password, the samba server only gets the new password, not the old one. So you need a mechanism that is able to change user's password without having the old one. NIS is only able to do this on the NIS master, not on a slave server or even a client: even root will be asked for the old password there. So if you absolutely want this, you'll have to invent some mechanism that transports the new password to the NIS master (securely please). Christopher -- == Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [Samba] Samba PDC and Passwords
Hi, I have a dilemma here about the user accounts. We have all the accounts at a NIS server. My samba PDC is another machine (different from the NIS server). What are my options for managing the accounts? 1) Central management (LDAP) Yes 2) Keep different password files (passwd/smbpasswd) Yes Are there any different options?? Don't think so. If I use the second option (2 - keep different password files), can I sync the passwords from Unix to Samba and vice versa? Easily only vice versa. :-) In Details: unix crypt and windows crypt are different. But they are both one-way hashes. So if you want to change both passwords at the same time, you will have to get access to the clear text password to do the encryption. If someone changes his unix password the password is encrypted using unix crypt() on the client machine, then transfered to the NIS master (I think). So it is not possible to install anything central at the nis master. The other way works better: When you change a windows password, the new password (but not the old one) is somehow transfered in clear text to the server (maybe it gets somewhat encrypted for the transport, but the server finally gets the clear text password). Search the archive for my post about this (keyword would be passwdHK.dll). If you want to use the samba server as pdc, password changes via smbpasswd go there. You can use the smb.conf settings unix password sync = yes passwd chat = [...] passwd program = [...] to set the password on the unix side. BUT: samba calls the passwd program as root and expects to be able to change the user's password without knowing the old one. So normally the samba server has to run on the NIS master server. So if your nis master is != your samba server, write a script that can run on your samba server and that is able to change a user's unix password without knowing the old one. We have such a thing running to synchronize the windows password (from a W2K Server) to our NIS master. Hope that helps, Christopher -- == Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [Samba] samba and automount
Hi, Don't use the automounter. Instead write a small shell (or perl) skript that mounts and unmounts the cds (and kills everything that would prevent you from unmounting). When it works, make it suid root. The problem with that is that it is Samba that keeps me from unmounting. See, while the drives are mapped, Samba is keeping the mounts busy. I can't write a script that goes around killing Samba. That would be bad. Samba creates a child process for each connection. So if you kill the process that uses the cdrom you should be alright as that is only the forked child for this share. All other connections should be fine. Using something like fuser -mk /cdrom should do the trick. And as someone on the list mentioned: if you tend to make the script suid root, better use perl instead of shell script... :-) Christopher -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] samba and automount
Hi, I'm running Samba with automount to automatically mount CDs in a server. These CDs need to be changed periodically, so I wanted to use automount so that they could be changed by the users fairly easily. We use logon scripts to map the CDs to drive letters when users logon. Unfortunately, it seems that having a drive mapped is treated like the drive is being used, so as long as there is someone logged into the system, automount will not unmount the drive. The only way we can change the CDs is to have everyone log out, wait for the timeout (or unmount it manually), change the CDs and have everyone log back in. Does anyone have a better way (one that will work)? Don't use the automounter. Instead write a small shell (or perl) skript that mounts and unmounts the cds (and kills everything that would prevent you from unmounting). When it works, make it suid root.

When I try to print from an XP client to an HP LaserJet 8000 or 8150 printer with the drivers installed locally, everything works fine including Duplex printing. When I try to print to a printer with the drivers stored on the Samba server, the Duplex feature is not available to the application. The client is able to turn on Duplexing in the Printers and Faxes folder and it appears to be installed, but when you try to select Duplex from the Layout tab from within an application, two sided printing is not available. Has anyone seen this problem? Yes. We are experiencing this problem for several months now, but no solution in sight *sigh* I am afraid Jerry didn't catch all bugs concerning printing...

Re: [samba] - servers keeps disapearing
Hi, Is there a known problem with samba servers that keeps disappearing from network neighborhood? Had this problem with 2.2.3, have to restart nmbd to get them back on, but nmbd never stops. Yes - there _was_ a known problem with nmbd not reregistering names. Has disappeared since 2.2.5. Greetings, Christopher -- == Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [Samba] sid_to_uid: Domain controller lookup missing
Hi, with samba WITHOUT using winbind. Sorry, but this is not acceptible for me (and for sure quite a few other people). You are incorrect. ACLs in Samba work without winbindd. The problem occurs when you want to use the Domain SIDs from a different authority than the Samba server in an ACL. OK, I had understood this. But: My samba server _is not_ the authority in our net, it is just an ordinary domain member. So it _has_ to ask an authority, so to say a PDC or BDC. To boil it down. Imagine you have 2 unix systems using /etc/passwd. You have a user jill in both systems with a different uid - both of which are in use on the other system. Explain how to set up a POSIX ACL on either machine which contains both jill users. That is the problem you are trying to describe - no Windows or Samba involved. No, no. The situation you describe includes two user databases which partially the same usernames but different uids. Is is absolutely clear that I cannot mix them up to say one ACL entry which only contains uids, or names. On the other side in my case I also have two user databases, unix passwd (or yp) and NT SAM. BUT: there is a clear mapping between them! Each user on NT also exists on unix with the same username. So there is a translation from one user database to the other - the name. To get the ids (uid or sid) one has to request the authority of each of these databases (UNIX: YP-Server, NT: PDC or BDC). This should not be too difficult, so I don't understand why you didn't design it this way in the first case. :-) winbindd is one solution to this. Yes - if you give up yp or nis+ or ldap or /etc/passwd ... If you don't try and do this, you don't have problems with ACLs. But can I make a samba server a domain master without totally screwing up my NT servers? This does not sound really correct to me. Hey, I am sucking up every advice I can to get this running, so thank you for the discussion! :-) Christopher -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
