At work, we're in the process of starting a migration of our Windows XP clients to Ubuntu. My PDC is a Samba server running on Ubuntu Hardy with LDAP backend. I'm testing with my workstation (Ubuntu Jaunty). Samba uses the PDC as a password server. Users and groups are read from LDAP via nsswitch (i.e. nothing about LDAP in smb.conf on the client). Also, no winbind. It seems to work, but I want to know if I'm missing something. Why should I run winbind? If I need to run winbind, does it need to run on server _and_ clients?

[Samba] Linux member server, or something else?
Hello list! I have a Samba PDC with an LDAP backend password database, against which WinXP clients authenticate. I also have a Ubuntu workstation, which authenticates directly to the same LDAP password database (no Samba). I now wish to have the WinXP clients be able to map shares on the Ubuntu workstation, so I obviously need to get Samba working on it. I can slog through the technical details, but I want to make sure I have the concept properly figured out - will the Ubuntu workstation be a "member server", configured as such per the Samba documentation using Winbind, or is there a different way I should be thinking about this? Thanks for any general pointers. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Please edit /etc/hostname with the short name, also edit /etc/hosts with the fully qualified domain name of the machine. Since we have a disjoined DNS space for our AD, I put a line like the following in my /etc/hosts file 127.0.0.1 hostname.domain.local hostname.domain.com hostname Test your edits using the `hostname` command. Check both the short name and the FQDN using the -f flag. You may want to reboot for good measure to be sure the hostname is changed and sticks through reboots. Then try to join again, the DNS update should work in that case now that FQDN of the client now matches the AD domain.

[Samba] Wrong ACL in subdir
Hi, I've noticed the following ACL problem in a newly created subfolder: Let a folder have full rights for the owner, no rights for the primary group, no rights for everyone, no further rights defined. Add, from WinXP, an ACL for another user with Read&Execute rights and the option "This folder only". Now create a subfolder: in the new subfolder, the parent group has "Full control" although it had no rights in the parent. In the log I can find the entry change_dir_owner_to_parent: device/inode/mode on directory ... changed. Refusing to chown !

[Samba] Lots of "smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985)" in log.smbd
Hi. I subscripted just now to the mailing list, but I've been using a Samba file server (PDC) on Debian for about 2.5 years now. Users are almost all WinXP SP3. No users are complaining but since I changed everything to one share with group permission on underlying directories I see a lot of errors in log.smbd. Anyone knows what the log message exactly means? I guess it has something to do with permissions. Maybe WinXP trying to access subdirectories it can't?
