[Samba] post_exec issues
Hi all, I've been trying to write scripts that are triggered by the post_exec command, and`I've found it doesn't act like it sounds like its meant to... it seems that diffrent operating systems let a session with a share close at different points: - Windows keeps my documents and user profile sessions open until ~15 seconds after the user logs out (don't know about suspend/hibernate) - windows closes other sessions after ~15 seconds of not having an explorer window/file open in the share - unix mounts keep session open until share is dismounted Is there any reliable way of triggering a script to run on the server to run when a user logs out? Maybe when an IPC$ share closes? Is there any way of affecting the above behaviour at all, from the server's point of view? It would be nice to know when a (windows) user logs out on a machine that isn't the DC for that session, and does not host the user's home directory any thoughts on this would be very welcome cheers JimChu -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Samba (old) and shared printers on MS Win 2003 SBS
This might be a rube question; if so I apologize in advance. Someone asked me to help and I don't have much info, but I have a limited window and have to be forearmed with as much information as possible before I set foot in the door. The guy that asked for help runs a Red Hat 6.2 box with the version of Samba that came with RH 6.2. I asked him what version of Samba it was. He didn't know. He's going to check Monday. He has this uneasy relationship with the IT people at the place. His apps on the RH box run a main mission function, but the windows boxes do everything else. Last week the IT folks decided they were going to sweep out all the Win98 and NT boxen and replace all the workstations with XP Pro and all the server(s) with Win2003 Small Biz. Prior to that, his Linux apps printed to shared printers connected to NT and maybe even Win98 workstations with ease. Now his stuff can't reach any shared printers. My first thought was that old versions of Samba don't know about Active Directory, but I don't know 1. if that's true or 2. if the presence of Win2003 server SBS necessarily implies AD. My second thought was that the arrogant twits just didn't bother to give his box required permissions to use the shared printers. Who'd design a business network with printers on the workstations anyhow? Whatever, any ideas where to begin? Can someone tell me how recent a version of Samba he could upgrade to, given that he's stuck with the kernel he's using now because of his apps?

Tomasz,
An NT4 PDC is a master authentication database server. It is undesirable to
have network logon traffic run over a routed network. The purpose of the BDC
is to permit a single security domain (context) and still permit all network
logon traffic to be handled on the local network segment.
At some time in the future Samba me be able to handle full authentication
datebase synchronization (like NT4 PDC/BDC combinations can do). At this time
it does not, however there can be only on PDC per domain (security context).
The benefit of a single domain is that it helps keep to a minimum the number
of interdomain trusts required.
Authentication is entirely orthogonal to MS Windows client profile handling.
Both in NT4 as well as with Samba, the location of the use desktop profile is
set in the user account record in the authentication database. NT4 does not
replicate or synchronize desktop profiles - nor does Samba. Where on earth
did you obtain the idea that this ought to happen?

The notion that all roaming profiles are stored on a central server and that
profiles are transferred over a wide-area link at login time is not one I
have created. Where did you get such a notion? I would not call that silly,
I'd call that insane and completely unworkable.
Windows NT4/2KX profiles can be many gigabytes in size, particularly if
network administrators have not attempted to manage the network environment.
Microsoft's ZAW (Zero Administration Windows) program was designed to show
network administrators how to lock down the desktop profile so that logins
involve a minimum of network traffic and users get good network
responsiveness.

The answer is: Practice good account management. Locate the users' profile on
a server close to where the user is - preferably on the same network segment.
I a user roams across multiple network segments and the wide-area bandwith can
not handle the roaming profile then do exempt that user from having a roaming
profile and instead store the profile locally on the workstation (or
notebook) that is used by this user.

John T.

[Samba] Strange Samba Problem
Running SuSE 9.2. This problem happens with both the SuSE-supplied Samba on the DVD, as well as the SuSE update rpms to 3.0.9. We even removed all the *.tdb files and recreated the installation from scratch, as always carefully following the steps in S3BE. FWIW, this same config worked previously on this and earlier systems; we did not change anything on this system (other than applying YOU patches), and since we fire the Windows VM infrequently, we can't correlate when this problem started with any specific YOU patches.. Basically, we use Samba on a host to make printers and shares available to Windows running on the same host in a VMware VM. We don't want anyone else on the LAN to see shares on this host. The problem manifests itself in several ways: 1. MS Office applications complain a file is either locked by another user and can be opened read-only, or that a file no longer exists. 2. Using the MS Explorer window to CTRL-C and CTRL-V a file in the same folder generates no errors, but the copied file has a file size of 0 bytes. 3. RMB'ing in the MS Explorer window to choose Create New > Folder winds up creating the New Folder correctly, but generating a dialog box that reads: "Unable to create the folder "New Folder."

If you are using ldap, you should know that the posixgroup objectClass is out of date and that you will need a different objectClass to provide Administrative access to the LDAP database itself. Specifically, groupOfNames. LDAP is only used by the Unix system. Samba does not use LDAP, it is even compiled w/o LDAP support. So, as long as getgrent(3) shows that a user is in the ntadmin group, the user should get admin rights. --Heinrich -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Re: PDC, BDCs - how do you synchronize roaming profiles?
Jim C. wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 | Or perhaps I don't understand something? Just a guess but a BDC is probably going to do the same thing with the files that the LDAP backend would do. I.E. replicate the data from the server. But how should it be done? I have read the whole Samba Guide, and I think I didn't find a clue on that - it seems for me that using configurations similar to these presented in Samba Guide would result in different roaming profiles on each domain controller. File replication is a different thing than LDAP replication: - files are big, LDAP queries are just a hundred bytes each, - file operations are read and write, LDAP are read mostly, - LDAP is one read/write master server and multiple read-only slaves, - with PDC and BDCs files can be read from and written to each server (PDC, BDC1, BDC2 etc.) - there is no "central" server which takes care of everything. So, now imagine this situation: We have a university/school facility with two buildings. Additionally, there is a campus nearby with 4 buildings. So 6 buildings in total. They are connected together using VPN over internet link - 1 Mbit down/upload in each building. Students have classes in each building, which means they should be able to log in and use their roaming profiles in each building, and also in each building in a campus. To keep traffic to the minimum, there is a domain controller + LDAP slave in each building: from 09.00-11.00 student Joe has classes in building A, so he uses domain controller (DC-A) in that building, and from 11.15-14.00 he has classes in building B (and therefore, uses DC-B). After that he makes his homework in the campus - so after each logout, his profile should be immediately replicated to other domain controllers in other buildings. With LDAP it is easy: master controlls everything: for example when user changes his/her password, slave gives this change to the master, which replicates the data to other slaves. When master is unavailable (link down or master server down) user will be notified that the password can't be changed. This is not the case with files. Even if I use some handmade scripts which use rsync to upload files to other DCs after user logs out, this will obviously fail when one DC is down for some time or internet link/VPN is down: - at 11.00 user Joe finishes his classes in building A, logs out, profile with important data is uploaded to other DCs, - as there is no connection between building A and B (roadwork workers just broke the internet link between buildings), this results in different profiles in building A and B, - at 11.15 logs in in building B, notices (or not), that his important data is incomplete, - at 14.00 he logs out in building B, internet link is back, so his incomplete data from building B overwrites important, complete data in building A, - we have data corruption, user confusion, students and staff loosing their data, admins fired etc. etc. So here comes my question again: how should the profiles be synchronized between domain controllers? What are the best ways to do it? What are your experiences? Hope the post wasn't too long :) but I think that the problem is not a trivial one, too.
