[Samba] documentation for configuring folder redirection

2012-08-02 Thread John Heim
I believe that once you have roaming profiles configured, all you need to do to configure folder redirection is set some registry keys. I'd like to turn that job over to our Windows sys admin. Can someone provide me with their favorite documentation for configuring folder redirection? Keep in

Re: [Samba] PDC file server on same machine?

2011-12-08 Thread John Heim
From: Adam Tauno Williams awill...@whitemice.org With Samba3 domain control there isn't really a BDC/PDC distinction. Every box is a PDC that operates in parallel with the other DCs. That is a bit different than a true NT4 domain. But one machine has to have the master copy of the

Obviously this is not a very important question but I was wondering why the convention seems to be to name samba log files log.something instead of something.log. For example, the smbd log is called log.smbd rather than smbd.log. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and

[Samba] samba4 ldap?

2011-11-18 Thread John Heim
I am confused... Using an ldap server as a backend for samba4 is not recommended? We are primarily a linux shop. We have an ldap database we use for authentication. I can't use that anymore if I switch to samba4? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the
