[Samba] disjoint domain?

[Norman Zhang]

Hi,

I'm moving my samba server to another NT 4.0 domain. Do I need to disjoint
the previous domain and then join the new domain?

Regards,
Norman

RE: [Samba] lprm command not getting called.

[David Neilson]

Joel:

I will forego answering your questions since I finally got it working so
that I can now delete files without hanging the application.  I did the
following three things, and I am not sure what combination made it work.  I
think it was probably the first two.   

1) Made the printer path equal to a Samba file share.  (This doesn't make
sense because the original printer path was 777, and the parent directories
were read/execute, thus allowing anybody to "cd" through them.)

2) Deleted and re-added the printer in question (I have made lots of changes
to the smb.conf file over the past week, and thought maybe there were some
"inconsistencies" between the samba server and the printer configuration on
the W2K client.)

2) Modified the Samba printer from the W2K client (i.e., changed the
orientation to Landscape, clicked apply, then changed it back again).  I
read in a document titled "Samba Project Documentation", dated Apr 1, 2002,
that "for a printer to be truly usable by a W2K client, a valid Device Mode
needed to be generated for the printer".  And that paper suggested the
action mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph.   

I know there are some security issues to work out here.  

Thanks for your help.

Well, there a  lot of error messages saying it can't run command %s. What is
command %s ?

BTW, what is smtp? Isn't that a mail program?

Have you run testparm ?

Re: [Samba] Samba printing on Solaris 8

[Joel Hammer]

Well, to experiment, you might try, in your printing share:
printing command = echo Tried to print %s > /tmp/junk
And see if that command gets executed.

What not upgrade, no?  That's a pretty old version of Samba.

You got me wrong, I'm perfectly fine with debian, and use it with much
joy. I do know debian only vaguely, just I see that sometimes it is
really very slow, 10 months is really a lot of time without an upgrade.
I'm ok with good scrutiny, but it seem that samba has been forgotten
this time :-)

Well, I think I understand and approve of the reasons: it's so packages

There's (at least) three other things involved here, though:

* Because upstream (samba developers) say something is stable may not be 
good enough for Debian team, since they have to stand behind it
* Some of the testing is on the Debian package itself: how well does it

* Debian is not one entity, but a group of developers; if the Samba

I would say that third reason is really important.  Stated another way, 
because Debian is very loosely organized, no one person can decide what 
can/cannot go into stable; therefore it is governed by policy, which had 
to govern everyone, and therefore errs on the cautious side.

Does that make sense?  If you don't like this sort of loosely organized 
team, which has political problems, you might like another distribution 
better.  With a whole other set of problems.  :-)

[Samba] Samba 2.2.3a and W2k Sp3

[Francesco]

Hello,

i have a Samba PDC version 2.2.3a on a Red Hat Linux Box 7.3. By joining to
thi domain some Windows 2000 Professional Sp3, everything works fine but,
when opening my computer, i see every sambe network drive with a RED CROSS
over it!

All the network drives are automatically mapped to the client at logon time
by the netlogon script.

How can i solve this problem? Do you think the problem must be debugged on
Windows 2k or on Samba?

Thank you in advance for your interest, best regards.

Yes generally it is a really good idea

No on my servers I use stable too, it was not a general question, but a
specific one toward samba.

Samba 2.2.3a has been realeased on february the 6th, they are 10 (ten)
months !!! And 2.2.7a contains *lot* of bugfixes that will make also
woody users a lot more happy.

Re: [Samba] Symbolic links and SAMBA

[Simo Sorce]

In samba 3.0 we have unix extensions, they will be available to
GNU/Linux client through steve's new CIFS fs (in linux kernel 2.5)
most probably.

While I still puch for NFS currently, I have to say that CIFS security
model is much better as it does not trust machines but requires each
user to authenticate.

Re: [Samba] UNIX with samba .vs. native Windows Server , how tocompare thei r performance for Windows-biased management

[Simo Sorce]

Go with a GNU/Linux system and get the best of the two worlds:
Unix power
and
cheap hardware

btw, I cannot believe they say managing a windows box is more
comfortable, have you ever showed your boss how much time his NT admins
need to spend to "easily" click trough endless number of windows?

I always found Unix machine much faster to administer,
and it can be done easily also remotely (and _securely_) through SSH.

Let's not talk of automation through scripts, Windows simply does not
exist in that field.

Well, I think I understand and approve of the reasons: it's so packages

And they backport security fixes, so you get the best of both worlds, 
generally.

If you want latest features, run 'testing' or 'unstable'.

Have you checked

See what that value iswe had the same error (non-samba) and this value

Try raising the value in this file??

a20 snapshot

I finally got things running at about 3am on monday morning
by wiping out all the tdb files, starting with a new SID,
re-imaginging all my clients, and finally rejoining the all to the
domain.  I also had to wipe out everybody's profiles and start with new
ones.

It's alpha software - i knew what i was getting into - no whining here.

anyway - i've got things running ok on a20 now.
I do get runaway smbds once or twice a day (see posts to
samba-technical)...
i'm going to try to reproduce those in a21 and/or the head of SAMBA-3.0

If you're trying to create a symlink on a remote filesystem mounted via
Samba/smbfs, it's not at all surprising that it would not work. Samba
makes your UNIX machine look like a Windows server, and Windows has no
concept of what a symbolic link is. The follow symlinks option allows
people to browse through symlinks that you created on the server.

If you're sharing from one UNIX machine to another, just use NFS. It's
native to UNIX, so things like symlinks will work.

RE: [Samba] UNIX with samba .vs. native Windows Server , how to compare thei r performance for Windows-biased management

[Scott Wrosch]

I feel your pain Karen.

I'd tried briefly (before I figured that it wasn't worth my breath
because they wouldn't listen at all) to convince my superiors to clean
up a HD problem through Samba and one of the two Solaris boxes we have.
We have this nice brand new storage array, and it probably isn't getting
used for a whole lot, yet our domain controller (primary) is constantly
running with less than 1 GB available free space.  I have even suggest
as well just setting up a small PC with Linux just for users storing
their large files (read: images), but have had no such luck.

So, after months of dealing with this, I feel your pain.  Funny thing
is, they just ordered another Windows-based server machine for some
un-(insert appropriate religious deity here) purpose.

As far as benchmarking goes, I'm afraid I can't help much, as I'm
limited to the use of PCs at the moment.  But you've got me into the
idea of setting up a small Linux cluster for the sake of learning how to
do it and stuff.

Subject: [Samba] UNIX with samba .vs. native Windows Server , how to
compare thei r performance for Windows-biased management


I had samba working on an old Sun Enterprise server using a JBOD that
was
managed with veritas volume manager (legacy stuff that had long outlived
it's usefulness).  Management  arbitrarily decided to replace the aging
Solaris server with a native Windows server without talking to me. I
instead
tried to persuade them to use an SGI cluster I had been putting together
and
use newer features of samba (winbind, domain authentication) for hosting
this data,  but they weren't interested.  

When that old Solaris system started having problems,  and the new
windows
server wasn't online yet,  I had to temporarily host the data on my SGI
cluster,  a duo of servers that was running  samba with winbind and
domain
authentication.  It was a very nice setup, either server in the pair
could
serve the files,  and we made user login scripts mount the shares from
whichever server reponded first.  When we had to take the primary server
down for maintenance,  we switched the login script to point them to the
secondary server's shares,  had them log out and back in. While they
worked
happily off of the secondary server,  we did a half day's worth of
maintenance on the primary server without affecting the users.  When we
were
done,  we put the login script back the way it was before,  and the next
time they logged out  and back in,  they were again pointed to the
primary
server with the secondary as a backup.

Even after demonstrating how nice my configuration was and how
seemlessly we
were able to do maintenance without affecting users,  management  and
the
two NT guys I work with were still sold on using the Windows native
server.
They claimed that it was cheaper to buy the hardware and easier to
manage
permissions and file access rights with the native equipment (of course,
they are PC guys).  My argument was that we could probably achieve the
same
file access flexibility with UNIX ACLs (which previous staff had not
enabled
on the UNIX side),  and that the UNIX machines use RISC-based
processors,  a
completely different animal than the GHZ pentium processors,  so they
would
really have to come up with some benchmarks to compare the two systems.
They also weren't originally going to accommodate any easy file
interoperability with the UNIX users,  they were going to make them use
FTP
to move files between the UNIX machine and the windows server, and I
argued
that this was removing capability that users were accustomed to having,
not
a real crowd pleasing decision.  

Now they are experimenting with Microsoft SFU to make the Windows box
allow
the UNIX machine to NFS mount its shares,  and I have to say it does
seem to
work pretty well.  It tied right into NIS nicely, automatically mapped
matching usernames on either side, allows me to define mappings with
usernames that do not match, etc.  But it still digs in my crawl though
that
I never even got a chance to show what my cluster could do for them
until
after management had already decided to buy the windows server, and even
after a nice demonstration of the UNIX cluster's capabilities,  they are
still sold (arbitrarily) on using the native Windows box. 

How can I compare the performance of the two servers?  Many of you
started
out with Windows servers and migrated to samba to get better
performance,
but  my collegues have done the opposite.  Am I blindly biased that UNIX
is
better or is there a way I can get some real numbers to prove that te
windows server  is a slower file server?

[Samba] Stumped at "Network Neighbourhood", Samba server is visible, but it's path can't be found ...

[Jamie Risk]

Hi all,

I can see the RH7.3 linux box I've configured with the latest
Redhat RPM samba package in the Windows 2000 network
neighbourhood, but when I double click the W2000 computer
icon I get the message

 "\\Linuxbox is not accessible,
  The network path was not found."

The network is a small switched lan, sadly with only one unix
box (RH7.3) and a mixture of Windows2000 and 98 machines. The
domain name is that of our service provider "bellnet.ca", and
the recently introduced Linux box is configured with the host
/domain name pair "LinuxBox.bellnet.ca".

Anyway, I can ping the either way, (from Windows to Linux and
back again) but in order to do so, I must specify the IP
addresses of the machines. I suspect the DNS resolution isn't
working, but I'm mislead by the fact the linux box's name
("Linuxbox") appears as an icon in the network neighbourhood.
Clearly, I don't know what's going on.

Like I wrote, I can see the icon for the linux box in my
network neighbourhood which is drawing me to naive/confusing
conclusions about the validity of my setup.

Help ?

[Samba] Re: Stumped at "Network Neighborhood", Samba server is visible, but it's path can't be found ...

Bob had responded (again, thanks Bob) with two suggestions.

1. Try connecting with the same user and password as on the
   unix side. I set up a new W2000 user account with name
   and password to match. When I click on the Network
   Neighbourhood, I still get the "Network path not found."
   described earlier.
2. Add an entry to the W2000 hosts file so that I could ping
   without having to resort to using the IP quad address. I
   appreciate taht I can do this, although our network uses
   DHCP, and I've no idea how to represent that in a hosts file.

I suspect that Samba is configured perfectly, and that my
problem is based on basic network connectivity.

Would those responding to this thread agree that I
should be able to ping the Linux box using it's NetBios
name?

I thought that the "smbstatus" command would display the information you

[Samba] Re: Stumped at "Network Neighborhood", Samba server is visible, but it's path can't be found ...

[Jamie Risk]

Hi Bob, thanks for responding ...

Yes; at least if your asking about the unix side of things. Through some
magic
that I did a few days ago I piped the password file for linux into a
password
file for samba, then initialized the samba account of interest.  A
decription
of what I did is here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-samb
a-configuring.html

On the windows side of things, I'm trying to access the share as different
user.
I'm assuming (?) that I'll be asked for the appropriate passwords when the
connection
is being established.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm still under the impression I'm faced with a DNS
resolution problem since I can't ping the Linux box from my W2000 console
using anything OTHER than the quad IP address.

Jerry,

While that is true, is it also possible that they could have "fixed"   
something else that is unrelated, but could potentially cause minor or   
major issues with Samba?

Should not effect us since Samba does not implement SMB signing.

[Samba] browsing remote subnets

[Pihhan]

Will this config allow browsing on different subnets?

on on server (on subnets 1 and 2):
remote announce = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.255
remote browse sync = 192.168.1.255 192.168.2.255

on second server (on subnets 2 and 3):
remote announce = 192.168.2.255 192.168.3.255
remote browse sync = 192.168.2.255 192.168.3.255

Will all computers see every other computer on the whole network? I
have tried it, but something failed. If one server is PDC, must the
second join its domain to sync browse list successful? Is browsing
resticed with access rights?

Can clients use as WINS server only nearest server, which will give
all computers on the whole network, not only direct to this WINS?

[Samba] Symbolic links and SAMBA

[Long, Jesse]

Hi:

I am experiencing the following problem:

I have a Linux SAMBA server set up with a share containing the source
code for my RH Linux 8.0 kernel, which is on another machine.  I have no
problems mounting or accessing the share on the RH client.  The problem
occurs when I run the 'make' command, on the mounted share, (which
requires removing and re-setting a symbolic link 'include/asm') I get
the following error message:

ln: creating symbolic link 'asm' to 'asm-i386': Operation not permitted.

I have check the smb.conf file on the server and verified the following
parameters are set as indicated:

Writable = yes
Map system = yes
Follow symlinks = yes
Wide links = yes

I have set the fmask and dmask to 0777 on the smbmount command when
mounting the share, and the entry in /proc/mounts indicates that the
share is mounted rw, with fmask and dmas both set to 0777.

Would anyone have any ideas as to what might cause this error?

Well you never know.  But I was specifically referring to the 
notice regarding changes to Windows SMB signing implementation.
I have not tested this patch myself.

Yes. Read up on "remote announce" and "remote browse sync" by doing:

man smb.conf

then search for those parameter.

The result will be that all machines will appear in the browse list, you
may then have a problem with NetBIOS name resolution. You will need DNS
for name resolution. You will see a LOT of UDP broadcast activity on the
network - but that is the price of not using WINS.

You could use both WINS and the "remote announce" and "remote browse sync"
options together.

See if your system uses the pam_stack module.  If you can just edit 
/etc/pam.d/system_auth.  Otherwise, just edit the files for the services
you need winbind to support.

Hi all,

But. I have problems with oplocks, surely because of my version:

here precisions, few days ago.

Version 2.2.3a-12!!!??? YES, this is the *stable* version from Debian.


And it may contain lot of fixes that are in newer samba releases.
I'm not saying they do, but I've seen a number of vendors that fixes
packages but maintain older version to keep dependencies toward other
packeags or such.


What Debian actually did was backport the security fixes in 2.2.7 into 
2.2.3a-12 (they weren't present in 2.2.3a-6).



What would I do? Install newer version (2.2.7,afaik), then corrupt my 
system? Or wait for Samba team to put 2.2.7 in the stable?


with 2.2.7a you will not corrupt your system, however it seem strange
debian does not upgrade to 2.2.7a as from 2.2.2-2.2.6 there a possible
security problem, have you the security team url in your apt source
list?


See above.

Oddly enough, I got oplock problems when I upgraded from 2.2.3a-6 to 
2.2.3a-12, whereupon I filed a bug and downgraded.

The Debian maintainer assured me nothing had been done but security 
backports; so I upgraded again and crossed my fingers.  I just noticed I 
got some oplock errors day before yesterday, so time to downgrade again 
and watch.

Are you printing from Win9x or NT+ ?  If the latter, it is because the

Sounds like the driver has not been initialized on the Samba server.
Can you bring up the printer properties window at all?  If set
set the page orientation.  If not, try setting "default devmode = yes"
temporarily to access the properties page and set the page orientation that 
way.

[Samba] APW print problems with Samba 2.2.7a & CUPS, enumprinters, setdriverfail.

[Jason Jeremias]

I'm trying to add print drivers to printers on a Samba server using a 
NT4 workstations in the past this has worked.  I'm currently running 
Samba 2.2.7a & CUPS 1.1.17, when I attempt to add drivers to the new 
printer it crashes the NT4 workstation.  Prior to the workstation 
crashing however it does copy the driver files to the server, it then 
pauses as if the workstation is waiting for some information from the 
server.  This pause last 1 to 2 minutes the the workstation crashes.  In 
troubleshooting the problem I've found this much out.

With the following settings in my smb.conf file:
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
printing = cups

enumdrivers works as expected it even lists the driver I attempted to 
add from the NT4 workstations.

enumprinters however does this:
rpcclient $> enumprinters
rpc_api_pipe: cmd 26 on pipe 7679 failed to return data.
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL

setdriver also fails as seen here:
rpcclient $> setdriver A_CC_HP4300 "HP LaserJet 4300 PCL6"
SetPrinter call failed!
result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL


Change of settings


If I change the settings in my smb.conf file to look like this.

printcap name = lpstat
   or
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = cups


enumdrivers again works as expected and displays all the drivers 
including the one I added with the NT4 workstation that crashed.

enumprinters also works and displays all the printers on this box.

setdriver still failes with the same message as above.


I can provide any files/debug info needed to help solve the problem, any 
help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

JP,

(Thanks to Jerry Carter for pointing out the following omission in my last

You should also be aware that two (2) samba team members actively maintain
Samba packaging. You will find it under samba-2.2.7a/packaging/Debian, and
you can use this to build a Debian comliant samba package.

If you used Red Hat's packages you need to install the swat package also.
Red Hat do not include SWAT in the main Samba package.

If you used the samba-team package it is included.

Did you check that SWAT is:

1) Included in /etc/services

swat901/tcp

2) In /etc/xinet.d/swat (see documentation)

3) Allowed in /etc/hosts.allow and not blocked in /etc/hosts.deny

Yes.  It means that the rpc reply had to be fragmented across

Are you using CVS?  or an alpha snapshot?

Sorry John, but the WINS server code is workgroup agnositic.
Only the browsing code supports a single workgroup.

Ummm...just to clarify, Eloy and Steve always submit the bedian packaging

It sounds like configure found the GNU ld and the actual compile is using

RE: [Samba] winbind help for newbie

[LaSusa, Dan]

I joined the domain (LMC) with the following command

Smbpasswd -j LMC -r LMC_EXC1 (this is our PDC) -U administrator

I then got prompted for the password, I entered it

And got the message "Joined the LMC Domain"

Then I stopped and restarted the smb service

Did a wbinfo -u and then -g and still got info for the LMCMIG domain.

I then went into the smb.conf file, changed

Password server = *

To 

Password server = LMC_EXC1

Restarted smb

Still got the info for LMCMIG 

Went back into smb.conf 

Changed 

Password server = LMC_EXC1

To

Password server = (IP address of server)

Restarted smb 

Still no luck.

Does SMB or Winbind have the info cached somewhere?  Is there a way to flush
that cache???

You might want to try the password server parameter. How did you join the 
domain? Did you specifiy the IP address of the password server?

Since you press for an answer please excuse my bluntness.

You will have to find the answers to this question by either reading
volumes of published material (like the MS Windows NT/2K Resource Kit

off (also as a client shuts down) an MS Windows NT Domain.

The tools you can use to do your own sniffing includes (recommended)
'ethereal' (check www.zing.org).

You have a learning curve ahead of you and I wish you well.

[Samba] Browsing on remote subnets, domain logons

[Pihhan]

Hello,

I have a few questions.
I have network like this:
(A)-(MS)(SS)---(B)
 | |
inet  (C)

Ms and SS are linux servers with samba. others are workstations with
WinMe.

Can I make all subnets and all computers to see all computers on all
subnets without using WINS?
So A should see SS, B and C. Because between MS and SS is very long
network (connection between two divided LANs) made of 10BASE2, it is
considered unreliable. Thus MS and SS should be always ready to answer
all authorization on its direct subnets, and be backup for others.
Thats because C is in the middle, and have connection to both MS and
SS. If one connection is broken, LANs will be divided but should be
operational itself.

That's why I dont want WINS, because if it
connection to MS fail, there will be long timeout to use secondary
WINS on SS. Is there way to sync both servers nethood for broadcast
and wins for all subnets, where servers MS and SS would broadcast only
local network and remote info gets from the other server?

I don't know how to make this. I want only one domain, where both MS
and SS will serve to direct subnets and get informations about unknown
users from second server. On MS is routing to internet, directed with
iptables and firewall. In preexec script of netlogon share it checks
if logging user has paid for internet and so if he is allowed to use
internet. That somewhat works, I wonder why sometimes...

All I need is allow all users from all subnets to access MS, and
netlogon share. I want synchronised browse list on all subnets, and if
users from B cannot login to MS, they must be able to login to SS.
Thats because I dont want change setting on machines if connection
between MS and SS fails. So they cannot reach MS or other remote
computers, but can operate well on their LAN with direct neighbours.

SS will not be under my direct control (I am not root there),
it will act partialy as BDC. It will not sync users list from
MS itself, they would need be added manualy. But all users on this
server, who wants internet, need also account on MS. So only local
users will have accounts only on local server, not on both.

I think there would be two domains for this, but does Samba support
some way of trusted domains? I am using individual sharing on WinME.
This gets better security to network, with less passwords to remember.
But there are in fact two PDCs, and only one is really PDC. I get list
of users on my PDC server, so I can assign on Windows shares for every user
different acces rights. But can I do this for users from different
domain? or from different server? That is really problem in two
separate domains, but two PDCs cannot be in one domain, right?
Have you any good ideas, how to solve this? Can I sync browse list for
different domains? Must I have workgroup same with domain on
workstations, or can I have one workgroup in two domains? That would
get browsing easier.

(sorry for my english)

Yes! Use WINS!

In smb.conf [globals] add:
wins support = Yes

On each MS Windows client in the TCP/IP settings put the IP address of
your Samba server as the WINS server addresses.

JP,

Your question is one many samba users have to deal with. Debian Linux is
user supported software, so if you want samba to always be up to date,
volunteer to become the samba maintainer for Debian, then you will control
you own destiny.

If becoming the samba maintainer for Debian does not suit you, that's OK.
But now if you want an up to date version of samba for Debian you will
need to build your own.

If building you own does not suit you, then you could hire a consultant
)or find another volunteer) to do it for you.

If, like most of us, you want someone to give you an update package as
soon as a new version comes out, then find a source that will do that. The
choice is yours.

At one time, for every release of Samba I would compile and make available
10 for 10 different platforms. That took me nearly 4 days to build, QA,
release - all unpaid work. I am not after sympathy, just want to make the
point that it takes a lot of work and effort to serve our users fully. The
more people who help the easier it is.

Master browsers are 'elected' (determined) over UDP broadcast. The
semantics of that are covered in the Entire-HOWTO-collection that is
present on the home page of SWAT, see section 2.4.

Any SMB/CIFS (MS Windows NEtworking) machine can become the master browser
for the subnet it is on. It will never become the master browser for a
remote subnet. The protocol was not designed to allow it to be.

PS: "Master Browser" does not mean that same as "Domain Controller" at
all!

The master browser simply is the machine that has the master list of
machines that are visible on the local network segment. If you want to
find a list of machines on a remote network segment, then you need to ask
the remote "master browser" for that segment. That gets very difficult,
unless you use WINS.

If you use a single WINS server (either using Samba or MS Windows NT4/2K
Server) and you configure every client so it uses that WINS server, then
all clients will register with the WINS server. Each local master browser
will also register that fact that it is master browser with that WINS
server and it will keep it's local browse list synchronised with the
domain master browser's list. The domain master browser will synchronise
it's full list with all local master browsers - and the result is that
your MS Windows clients will see all registered (active) machines in their
browse list.

Note: Again, none of this has anything to do with domain control (or what
many prefer to call PDC).

It is not what you specify as the "host allow" that determines the scope
of the master browser, it is the netmask of the network that does this.
More accurately put, network segments are broadcast isolated. Routers do
NOT forward UDP broadcast packets.

PDC means "Master Authentication Controller" - NOT "Master Browser".
Please read my comments above very carefully.

There are three (3) essential components of MS Windows Networking:

1. Name Resolution

The ability to resolve NetBIOS Machine Names to an IP Address - WINS is
your best friend here. Some people insist on using DNS which is great, but
DNS does not deal with (no mechanism to record and tell clients about)
NetBIOS Name Type information. See section 2.4 of the
Entire-HOWTO-Collection on the SWAT home page.

2. Routing and Visibility

This involves correct network configuration in the first place. Secondly,
you need to provide a way for a local broadcast isolated machine to be
able to find a remote machine - WINS is your best friend here!

3. Security and Authentication

This is where you need to make sure that the machine that a client is
trying to access can authenticate past the security barriers.


> Given the fact I'm DBA, not an Admin sys specialized in TCP/IP, you

You are not alone. Many network admins have no clue about MS Windows
networking because so few realise that NetBIOS uses different protocols
that are implemented OVER TCP/IP. One needs to understand the NetBIOS
protocols to solve a NetBIOS problem - few TCP/IP admins care to do that!

Put another way: "If you want to catch lots of fish, as a fisherman you
need to think like a fish!"

[Samba] Migrating Samba PDC to new machine (with different name)

[Michael Ingoldby]

The machine we are currently using as our existing PDC is getting old
and tired, so we have built a new machine and are attempting to migrate
users across to the new machine. However, since there can only be one
PDC on a network, this involves an "all nighter" moving users profiles
across to the new machine and then cranking it up as the PDC.

Everything appeared to go well until we started up the first bunch of
machines using the new machine as the PDC and got the following Error
Message. 

"The system cannot log you on to the domain because the systems computer
account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account
is incorrect"

After some research we found an article on the net about setting up a
Samba BDC and so we did the "smbpasswd -S domain_name" to try and copy
the domain's ID across to the new machines.

However, this still yielded the same result when new machines started up
on the new domain server.

Has anyone successfully moved the PDC from one machine to another in the
same domain? 

Can you give us some tips?

Extra Info:
- The new machine has different Unix IDs for the Machine and User
accounts than the old one did.
- The new machine now uses LDAP to store the Unix Usernames but we are
still using PAM for samba to lookup the UserUIDs and are still using
smbpasswd for storing Samba Usernames and Passwords.
- The Unix UIDs are now a bit higher. User Accounts in LDAP start at
about 1,000.
- The machine accounts (blah$) are local (/etc/passwd) accounts and
start at 10,000.
- Once a win2k machine was was remove from the domain, machine account
removed then readded to samba new_pdc and then win2k added back into
domain, logins worked perfectly.

This is limited to the pre-compiled binaries that are supplied on

Currently available are 2.2.5 and 2.2.7, with and without winbind.  If

[Samba] Recycle Bin Question

[Brent Torrenga]

Hello,
Recycle bins creating the directory structure inside the .recycle
directory have an issue I believe... ...at least how I have it setup :)

The directories created in the .recycle directory have permissions only
allowing access to the user who created it. Thus, if someone deletes
something from a share located inside the same directory that someone else
has previously deleted something, then the second deleted file will NOT be
putin the .recycle because that second person has insufficient permisions to
access the previously made directory in .recycle. Right? I experimented and
found it to be so.

So I have a public share, and would like the directories created in .recycle
to be public as well. How can this be done?

I too have noted that the performance of ReiserFS varies consideraby
across the versions. More recent versions appear to have a poorer write
rate (very subjective opinion - NOT rigorously tested!) but much better
read rates and fast directory lookups. As I said - "appears"! To do this
justice one needs to perform careful and methodical metrics.

And for waht it is worth, even though I found ReiserFS the poorest
performing, I still use it on my file server. So, go figure, not everyone

[Samba] winbind help for newbie

[LaSusa, Dan]

Title: Message



I've been looking thru manpages and online for 
help.
 
I 
*think* I've got winbind mostly setup (somehow) but it seems to be using the 
wrong Domain.
 
Some info:
I 
am running RH7.3
Kernel 2.4.18-3
Samba 2.2.7
 
In 
my smb.conf file I have:
[global]
    security = Domain
    workgroup = LMC
 
    winbind separator = +
    winbind uid = 
1-2
    winbind gid = 
1-2
    winbind enum users = yes
    winbind enum goups = yes
    winbind cache time = 10
 
In 
my nsswitch.conf file I have:
 
passwd:    files winbind
shadow:    files winbind
group:   files 
winbind
 
When I do a wbinfo -u  or -g I get the info for our LMCMIG 
domain.
 
Why 
is it using the LMCMIG domain instead of what I have in the smb.conf file? 

How 
do I tell it to use LMC??
 
I 
am a newbie to all of this
 
If 
I should be looking or asking elsewhereplease just let me 
know...
 
Thanks for any help!

[Samba] Any experience with Latest SMB Patch fro

[Robert Adkins]

Hello Everyone,

I was just reading up a bit on the latest MS patch that affects SMB.

Here is a quote that I read about it:

"...Windows Server Message Block (SMB) protocol which could enable group   
policy on domain controllers to be modified. Flaws in cryptographic   
signing implementation used by MS in SMB are the root cause of the   
problem. These flaws are fixed in Win XP SP1 or through a separate patch,   
released yesterday, which is designed to address the problem on Windows   
2000 boxes."

Does this change in any way affect Samba? Has anyone tested out this   
patch before spreading it across all their Windows 2K/XP workstations?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I wish to avoid any headaches   
that I can avoid on the network here.

Hello,

My problem is this:

I am running Samba 2.23 on RedHat 7.3. Using various unix permissions, users

The Security in samba is set to users. and passwords are encrypted. What I
would like to do is have one particular share RO to everybody but without
having to setup everyone as unix & smbusers. I know if I changed to
security=share I can do it but this causes me problems elsewhere on other
shares because of the continuing need to input a username & password each
time you connect. The PC's that need to see the share are NT4 workstations
that are not on a NT domain (we use Novell). I guess in simple terms I need
a public RO share without any restrictions on who connects, whilst
maintaining the restrictions on the other shares. Any Ideas?

Create a new user e.g "reader"

And use the force user = reader option on the share.

With chmod you should be able to set it so that this user can only read, not
write or delete files in this share.

This just means everyone that connects to the share will connect as this
user.

I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this, but this is how I would do
it :)

put in my username and password and select DARCSTAR for the domain to log onto 
and it tells me almost instantly:
 
"The Domain DARCSTAR is not 
available."
 
So i just log in on the local machine and type 
\\FILESERVER in a command prompt. a username/password box appears, i put in my 
username and password and it tells me:
 
\\FILESERVER is no accessible. Access is 
Denied
 
in the log file it doesnt give me an error it just 
says:
 
Allowed connection from 192.168.1.100 (which is my 
win2k box).
 
I'm sorta stumped as to what is the problem. I read 
through the pdf file that someone gave me yesterday but it didn't explain about 
the error message I am receiving.

[Samba] Winbind issues

[Richard Coyle]

I am having problems with Samba and Winbind on RedHat 8.0.  Just to let you
know I am a Samba and Linux newbie please be gentle.

I have put the settings of my files at the end of this message in case these
can help.   Here is my problem.

I can access a share created in the smb.conf file from my NT domain, if that
share is shared to a domain group.  (valid users = domain+group).
However when I issue the command 
wbinfo -u or wbinfo - g  i get the following reponse:
'Error looking up domain users' or 'groups'.

If I issues wbinfo -r domainname+usersname
I get a listing of the gid's that these groups are using.

If I issue:  getent -groups
only local groups are enumerated


What I need to understand is:
Why do wbinfo -u and -g  and getent not work?
If I get them to work, I also need to understand one other thing,
will the domain groups be visible in the "User and Groups" in the Gnome Gui?
I have read the manpages, and applied the settings as they instruct.
I have joined the domain, wbinfo -t tells me "the secret is good".

Also if you can let me know.  Is Samba working and not winbind?  or
is part of Winbind working?

Any help or directions on what book to buy, or site to visit will be
appreciated.


***
My smb.conf file has the following items in it:

[global]
winbind separator = +
winbind uid = 1-2
winbind gid = 1-2
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind cache time = 15

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = MyDomain

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Sfa-SMB1

security = domain

My nsswitch.conf file looks like this:

passwd: files nis winbind
shadow: files nis winbind
group:  files nis winbind

My Pam.d\samba file looks like
#%PAM-1.0

[Samba] Swat inactive, xinetd issue?

[Kevin]

Since I've upgraded to Redhat 7.2 I cannot get swat to work,
I am using the 2.4.7-10 kernal with samba 2.2.7 installed.

I have checked all the applicable files, edited them accordingly as per 
Gary Fournerat's
excellent How-to. No joy.

I am pretty certain this is an xinetd issue. I never had this difficulty 
with inetd.
I know that SAMBA is running as I can see the server from this workstation.

Is there something I've missed?

[Samba] Some doubts

[Sergio Jimenez]

Hi, I'm trying to setup samba server on FreeBSD-4.7-STABLE, with samba version 2.2.7a. 
It runs so good (better than our snap server :).

I need to know if should be possible, that users can modify, save, and all other 
possible operations on files except delete it.

My users config are, more or less:

All users have their uid
All users are in same gid
Some project admins (they are on "admin users" tag on smb.conf)

I want only admins can delete files.

Thanks.
Best regards.

Re: [Samba] security=user with windows clients

[Marian Mlcoch, Ing]

Simply you must log to windows with username and password from samba
smbpasswd...
When you not have users in samba add by linux commands
useradd username1
smbpasswd -a username1

Thats all.

[Samba] Problem authenticating with Samba (security=domain) + Windows 2000 PDC

[Javier Castillo Alcibar]

Hi all!!

 

 

I’d set up my samba 2.2.7 to auth with “security=domain”
mode, but my clients cannot auth successfully never because the samba server
cannot “talk” correctly with my PDC(w2k adv. Server). 

 

In the computer manager event, I see authentication
request but with empty usernames……so the PDC reject the
authentication request.

 

 

Is this a know behaviour??

Here is my config:

 

[global]

 

   workgroup = MYDOMAIN

   netbios name = DEBIANXFS

   server string = %h server (Samba %v)

   guest account = nobody

   invalid users = root

   security = domain 

   max log size = 10

   password server = *

   syslog = 0

   encrypt passwords = Yes

   socket options = TCP_NODELAY

 

# --- End of Browser Control Options ---

   wins support = no

   wins server = 192.168.4.12

   dns proxy = yes

   name resolve order = wins lmhosts host bcast

   unix password sync = false

   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:*
%n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .

   pam password change = no

   obey pam restrictions = yes

   winbind uid = 1-2

   winbind gid = 1-2

   winbind use default domain = yes

[Samba] the process when client joins and logs off....

[kdmprasad]

hello,
 

can any one help me with some details pls.

i was looking for the process(the internals)when a client logs in to
samba(configured as a PDC).

and the same questions what happens when a client logs off.(do the PDC
know abt this?).

iam keen in to these details,since i want to insert in to the source
code of samba,a small code by myself,to have capture the list of
clients which are joining the PDC and leaving the PDC.

first i want to have a file(say filename is logged-in)when a client
log in PDC.then when a client logs off(will samba know abt this at
all?)i want to remove the IP entry from the same file(logged-in).

so that i can have a list of IP's who r currently active in samba.

suppose at an instant if i want to find who r all the clients who
logged in to PDC,i must be able to identify from the same file.

(usually in /var/logs/ i have files named log.)
but these r files when client logs on...and doesn't leave even though
the client switches off)

pls help me at this point

thanks in advance

[Samba] AW: Word 97 and Samba

[Ulrich . Graessle]

Hi Tommy,

We have similar problems with Word 97- SR2 and networkdrives on Samba
server.
In our case it is no problem between Word and Samba.
The problems started when we changed our local antivirus software from
McAfee to Sophos. (Sophos told us that this is a known problem).

With Word 97 - SR1 there are no problems.

Yes that was the clue to the problem thanks. The entry for the

set to 850 for Western Europe.

Re: [Samba] NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND for filenames with 8bit characters

[Marian Mlcoch, Ing]

Is länkar.html filename in windows PC identical?
This problem exist with missconfigured codepages conf for windows and linux.
In smb conf  you must set proper codepage and translation to iso... for
windows and linux client separately.

And it may contain lot of fixes that are in newer samba releases.
I'm not saying they do, but I've seen a number of vendors that fixes
packages but maintain older version to keep dependencies toward other
packeags or such.

with 2.2.7a you will not corrupt your system, however it seem strange
debian does not upgrade to 2.2.7a as from 2.2.2-2.2.6 there a possible
security problem, have you the security team url in your apt source

Well if we know a problem is probably fixed in a later version, what can
we do? We cannot do anything else that asking to upgrade to check it is
not something else.

you do not need to build them out of cvs, we release packages in tar
format, and you should really use them, cvs *may* contain new errors as
we may be committing in steps a fix or something else while you cvs
update and you do not notice.

> I'd really like you give your point of view on this.

I generally use what the distribution provides.
But if necessary I also install my custom packages (and I always build
packages, as that way I have a trace in my system of what I've done
exactly. To my customers I installed things like:
samba-2.2.7pre2-xsec1.rpm/deb (Xsec is my company and pre2 never
existed, I made it as I needed a special fix that was only in cvs).

Thank you,
Simo.

Re: [Samba] Re: Access Samba Servers from the Internet?

nmbd can be master browser only on network that is on your network machine
eth.


Thanks for your answer.

If I understand you well, MASTER is only PDC for 192.168.0 because of 
eth0 configuration. Here is it:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.253

Given this, the solution is to change the netmask? Then, MASTER would 
listen in network 192.168. instead of 192.168.0 only.

Am I right?

How to achieve my PDC to become unique PDC in my LAN composed of 
192.168.0, 192.168.1 and may be tommorrow 192.168.2 .. ??

Given the fact I'm DBA, not an Admin sys specialized in TCP/IP, you 
understand my weakness here :-)

Thanks again.

[Samba] Samba not visible on network neighbourhood

[Rohit Peyyeti]

Hello All:


I have a small problem in setting up Samba on my NT
network here. This is the environment on which I'm
running Samba Server on:

Samba Version: 2.2.7-1.7.3
OS: Redhat 7.3
Kernel: 2.4.18-18.7.x

Problem description:
Samba Server is not visible in my windows XP/NT
network neighborhood. But after I added my
Samba Server's name & IP address in my hosts
file, I was able to connect to it this way:
\\Samba\rohit\ (I can see files in my home share
on linux box) from my XP box. I guess connectivity
should be fine between these two machines.

But I still can't see this samba box from my network
neighborhood. Is there anything which I'm missing?

Here is part of what my smb.conf looks like:

workgroup = GENETECH
server string = Samba Server
hosts allow = 10.10.10., 127.
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes
printing = lprng
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
security = domain
password server = *
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
unix password sync = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
pam password change = yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
obey pam restrictions = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
preserve case = yes


Regards,
Rohit Peyyeti

Re: [Samba] Word 97 and samba.

[Jean-Paul ARGUDO]

Any other options 
that might help?

I had a problem with auto-timeout from client side :-)
But its a windows problem only ;-)

Type NET CONFIG SERVER and look at SESSION TIMEOUT..
By default you have 15 minutes

Then, if a user is typing from more than 15 minutes, without disk 
access, in a document wich is on a server, the server disconnect the 
client, and crap Word 97 crashes or sends connex problem messages to the 
client!

Type NET CONFING SERVER ? to see how to change the value. Max Value in 
windows 2000 env is about millions :) Watch for support.microsoft.com, 
file Q138365.

Put 65535 minutes instead of 15, will be enough :-)

Z:\>net config server ?
La syntaxe de cette commande est :


NET CONFIG SERVER [/AUTODISCONNECT:minutes]
  [/SRVCOMMENT:"texte"]
  [/HIDDEN:{YES | NO}]


Hope this helps.

Re: [Samba] oplocks and samba 2.2.7

[Jean-Paul ARGUDO]

Hi all,

I really know you'll tell me it is not an issue from Samba nor a matter 
of topic in this list.

But. I have problems with oplocks, surely because of my version:
Version 2.2.3a-12 for Debian I noticed it all in bug 26128 and posted 
here precisions, few days ago.

Version 2.2.3a-12!!!??? YES, this is the *stable* version from Debian.

What would I do? Install newer version (2.2.7,afaik), then corrupt my 
system? Or wait for Samba team to put 2.2.7 in the stable?

For example, in current proposed-updates, samba version proposed is
2.2.3a-12!! I think I'll have to wait a year before 2.2.7 becomes 
stable, then you'll be supporting only version 2.4 ? :-)

I really know again it is *not* the problem of Samba team.

But, I think when I read docs "always install newest version before 
asking to support", you put to rubbish all users who havent yet 
connexion to internet, or ones who just buy brand new RH, Mandrake, 
Suse, whatever, box, with surely not the latest Samba version in  :-(

What are my solutions then? Build my own deb package from your cvs? 
Thats what I'm gonna do finally, corrupting a bit my stable production 
debian server :-/

I'd really like you give your point of view on this.

Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Re: [Samba] Re: Access Samba Servers from the Internet?

[Marian Mlcoch, Ing]

Hi
parameter hosts allow is only for blocking bad users nothing configure...
nmbd can be master browser only on network that is on your network machine
eth.
If you have only one network adapter eth0 configured then MASTER is only on
ip network of this.
In secondary network 192.168.1 is master browser auto detected and set one
or more comps on this segment.
If your machine have two adapters then your nmbd is master on all but in log
this can be writen at next time becose on segments is setup automatic
browser election repeatly and then writes info about election to log.

Bye.
