[Samba] [OT] windows user migration
sorry for the off topic, but I am thinking some clever samba sole has tinkered with this!! I am trying to find a method to migrate local user profiles off one server, onto another server. Both are win2k machines. Is there a way using roaming profiles to pull it off the live server, onto the network via samba, and then pull it up to the secondary server?? any thoughts would be appreciated! thanks - -- -- please respond to the list .. if you need to contact me direct cgmckeever is the account prupref.com is the domain A href=http://www.prupref.com;Simply Chicago Real Estate/A -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] Re: ldap / username issue
some more information: if I 'getent shadow' - I can find the accounts in question, but getent passwd just does not work - however, there are other accounts in the LDAP, added the same way, and they show up in the 'getent passwd' ideas?

[Samba] Which distribution to rollout
we are running an older version of RH (7.3) - and I am getting concerned that I may need to migrate off of it - but I dont know what I should move to. Trying to formulate ideas before it becomes a 'got to do it now' scenario. I have some reservations about fedora - I just dont know how stable it is for a production server (our services are mainly samba/ldap/ntp/ssh/rsync/clamav) - we have about 15 samba servers in production currently. RHEL - well - the cost is a factor gentoo - takes to long to deploy Mandrake 10?

Re: [Samba] Re: Migrate BACK to WINDOWS - Talk me out of it QUICK
we have a semi-unique environment (or at least I think we do) - where out of 150 workstations (spread across 11 branches) - only about 20 of those are actually ever used by the same person day-to-day. The rest are shared workstations. A coule years back this was a nightmare to manage. the users are the most computer literate, and would wrench the machines. So we rolled out secured machines using DEEPFREEZE .. That stabilized the environment quite well. However, windows 98 can only exist so long (right?) - so management made a big push to get everything up to XP .. This turned out to be a management nightmare becuase of the patches - etc. -- They dont alos quite understand that upgrading is a never ending battle - and costly with the way MS does it --- Then came along the idea for thin clients -- which is what we are beta'ing with the local termservs (w2k) right now - using THINSTATION as the clients. So far they are working great. As I said, the next move would be to go central - I feel citrix maybe a little overkill for us - but the load balance and redundancy is far superb. I will just have to see where it goes..who knows in a few months, we may just be moving back to stand alone workstations because this solution proved illogical -- thanks for all the input - made some decisions a lot easier!

His conundrum is that he'll end up with way too many servers if he implements both a Windows Terminal Server and a Samba file and printer server on separate machines. I think Dragan and Simon summarized what I was looking for extremely well. That's how I read it too. Does he keep his 10 Samba servers and add another 10 Windows servers to do terminal services, or does he put his file and print services on the same Windows servers and only have 10 servers to manage ? I suppose a few things for him to think about would be : 1) Does he intend separating File/print services from Terminal services (for performance reasons ?) in the future ? If so, then it would make sense to leave the file/print servers that are already there as they are rather than migrate them to the one server and separate them out again later. I think - if there are to be tsrvs in each location - then the integration of that and file/print would stay assuming they were never merged to start with .. I havent yet run any benchmarks to see how long files take to print over the network 2) Are there any specific management benefits either way ? It's not so much are 10 servers easier to manage than 20 but is a group of Windows servers easier to manage than a group of Windows servers plus a group of Linux/Samba servers. This is very much down to the experience of the individual/team, but I would guess that since they already have these servers then they are probably also comfortable with administering them. What it does is alleviate the need to administer workstations, since they will all be thin clients. So in essence, for each terminal server I roll, I take away 5-7 XP workstations. Thus reducing my adminisering to a single box that has been semi-designed for remote administration What that ad though is that if the remote TSRV goes down I am semi screwed, I will have a backup central one that I can easily deploy the thin clients into 3) Are there any performance/reliability/capacity issues with the existing servers ? If so then it may work out cheaper to spec the new servers to handle both roles than it is to upgrade/replace the existing hardware. samba servers are working termendously - and although are older machines, are handling the load without hiccup 4) What is your budget, and what are the relative costs ? Does the per-user Terminal Services licence cover the file and print services when the user is using only the terminal services ? If so then there is minimal cost to combine the two services. On the other hand, if you have to add File/Print client licences then this could add up to a fair wad of cash. thats where M$ bites you - in order to use TSRV you need file/print CALS as well - the way they put it is that a standard CAL is for authentication (this covers file/print), a T-CAL is for using terminal services 5) Other than File/Print services, are there any other reasons for keeping a Linux server on site ? necuase the linux boxes are a joy to administer - a windows controlled domain is not as much Eg, do you want to run the ISC DHCP server (no Windows version I believe), or will the MS DHCP server do you ? we dont do too much crazy with dhcp, so vaniall either way Just a few things to ponder over. But at the end of the day, everyone has to make a decision on what works for them - and leaving 'religious fervour' out of it, we can't answer it for him.

It selects a set of conversion filters, typically using Ghostscript to generate a bitmap image and then encode this into the printers native format. If properly configured, there is no reason that Cups should not be able to produce output as good as any other driver. The quality you actually get will largely depend on the settings (particularly resolution and colour depth) for the PS to bitmap conversion, plus an element of how well the device dependent filter converts the resulting bitmap to the printers native format. I believe in my tests, it was becausae I was going to a non PS printer using the generic HPLJ PPD -- and unfortunately, both the PPD's I tested using the ppd test script failed From the above, you can prbably imagine that if you use a generic PPD, you can use the same driver and PPD for all printers, but you won't get access to all the facilities available on a printer. If you stick with the Adobe PS drivers, then you can use the same driver for all printers, only the PPD is different. So - the PPD controls the print options - therefore driver independence isnt fully achievable since you need the printer specific PPD (if you want to be able to set printer specific information per job) from the howto: A postscript file that was created to contain device-specific ommands for achieving a certain print job output on a specific target machine, may not print as expectd, or may not be printable at all on other models Now what would be nice (and who knows if at all possible) - if there was a generic CUPS PPD, which gave general print options (duplex/punched) -- when sent from windows into the cups spooled, cups could extract what the client requested, use the PPD of the vendor to ensure what was requested is available, recreated the PS file and send it to the printer.

What I am not sure about as I've not done the testing to support it, is whether just changing the PPD and re-running cupsaddsmb will result in the client getting the new ppd installed (our login script maps the printers on this site). If it does then swapping out a printer should be as simple as changing the ppd on the server. I dont think that you can push the client a new PPD by changing it on the server .. it gets downloaded to the client on the first connection. I dont think it looks back into the print$ directory -- I think it pulls defaults/etc from the .TDB database files and that about the most of the interaction it has with the server till it spools the job to it -- but your idea below I find quite interesting regarding a generic PPD One of the things about Postscript is that it tends to degrade reasonably well. I'm fairly confident that in most cases you could send a file that (for example) requests duplex printing to a printer without that feature and it will still print (but without the duplex of course). Now what would be nice (and who knows if at all possible) - if there was a generic CUPS PPD, which gave general print options (duplex/punched) -- when sent from windows into the cups spooled, cups could extract what the client requested, use the PPD of the vendor to ensure what was requested is available, recreated the PS file and send it to the printer. With this, the client could be completely driver/ppd independent You could roll your own ! I don't know if you've looked at the contents of a ppd, but they tend to be fairly easy to understand (if a bit large for a complex printer). If you started with a complex printer ppd and stripped out the bits you don't need then you could end up with something that would just have the features you want, and I think you would probably find the output reasonably portable. I have tried 3 of my PPD's all failed the testppd.php script --- figures...but I said this before, striving for driver independence on the client may be a 'holy grail quest'. -- Simon Hobson MA MIEE, Technology Specialist Colony Gift Corporation Limited Lindal in Furness, Ulverston, Cumbria, LA12 0LD Tel 01229 461100, Fax 01229 461101 Registered in England No. 1499611 Regd.

The reason I ask, is I got an HP4 working with the CUPS processing the job. The quality of the output is noticeably poor compared to the actual windows driver printing RAW through CUPS (it looks almost like the output was created into a picture and then printed). Now, I am using the built in CUPS 'HP LaserJet Series' PPD - so that may be the difference (vendor verse non-vendor PPD) Can I just clarify that you are using the cupsaddsmb from 1.1.21rc2 but using cups 1.1.20 - and the reason is for its PPD processing to clean up potential 'bad' postscript generated by the vendor PPD I used vendor drivers in the pre-CUPS Red Hat Linux 7.1 days with very early Samba 2.2 releases and the Add Printer Wizard. At that point the Samba NT printing support was brand new and still buggy and combined with some buggy vendor print drivers I got burned very badly with the whole setup. Had hundreds of users down for hours while I rebuilt the Samba printing setup from ground up, etc. So it was probably due to that experience but I still see that as my last resort option. Besides, there are situations where page accounting would be required so I like to leave my options open. But many times in the last week until I got this tackled I thought to myself I should just go the vendor drivers + raw route. I'm sure it's not as bad as I remember :) Sean -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

On Thu, 09 Sep 2004 11:17:51 -0400, Sean E. Millichamp [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would guess that there is probably at least some quality lost during that conversion and the resulting output would depend entirely on ghostscript's ability to translate (render) the Postscript generated by the driver on Windows into your printer's native tongue. yeah - I am thinking this is the issue... If you didn't need to do the PS-(some other language) conversion on the CUPS server then I suspect you would see better resulting output. Trying to avoid this PS-(other) conversion step is one of the reasons why I generally only support PS capable printers. You might want to look into adding Postscript support to your printers if it is available as an add-on option (assuming you don't want to continue to just use CUPS in raw mode - there really isn't anything wrong with that, it's just not how I'd like to have my system setup). Can I ask a really basic question, that may help me get my hands around this stuff...On the windows side the application prints using the ADOBE (or whatever) Driver and the vendor specific PPD file. It then gets sent to cups which then does what?? Does the CUPS server process it again before sending to the printer (assuming the printer is postscript capable)? The reason I ask, was that I thought (for some reason) that the CUPS processing made the windows client driver independent - but if the windows client uses the PPD - then I am thinking that I was mistaken Thanks for your input Best, Sean -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

You are missing a small piece - the only way to get the ADOBE files (unless you already have them broken out of the installer) is to install on a windows client machine, grab them and install them on the CUPS server the print$ share that is being referred to is that on the client machine, hence why you need to copy them and then use cupsaddsmb, which then put them into the print$ onto the cups/samba server it is a bit redundant, but the only way to get the files my issue is that, none of the files needed for the cupsaddsmb are there - almost as if ADOBE has changed the driver and those are no longer included -- however, the archives say the 1.06 version does contain them...yet, as I posted earlier, these are the installed files: DEFPRTR2.BPDA12188 Tue Sep 7 23:27:50 2004 defprtr2.ppdA13492 Tue Apr 23 12:50:10 2002 efisysprint.sep A 3277 Fri Nov 22 01:54:02 2002 efisysprtj.sep A 3640 Fri Nov 22 01:54:04 2002 EFME4320.BPDA61420 Tue Sep 7 22:14:24 2004 EFME4320.bxeA 102400 Tue Jan 7 20:23:48 2003 EFME4320.cntA 1230 Fri Jun 28 23:56:24 2002 EFME4320.dllA81994 Tue Jan 7 20:24:16 2003 EFME4320.extA 532535 Tue Jan 7 20:23:48 2003 EFME4320.finA 1175613 Tue Jan 7 20:23:46 2003 EFME4320.hlpA56090 Tue May 21 23:44:48 2002 EFME4320.iniA 74 Wed Jan 15 02:24:14 2003 EFME4320.lanA 1851449 Tue Jan 7 20:23:48 2003 EFME4320.oemA 2109512 Tue Jan 7 20:24:10 2003 EFME4320.pgeA 4243 Thu Aug 8 18:30:22 2002 EFME4320.PPDA74812 Sat Jan 11 02:18:42 2003 EFME4320.psrA47858 Tue Jan 7 20:24:16 2003 EFME4320.uimA 1855546 Tue Jan 7 20:23:46 2003 ehm10.dll A 421930 Wed Jul 17 10:06:00 2002 ehmbrg.dll A 299051 Wed Jul 17 10:05:40 2002 ehmcore.dll A98348 Wed Jul 17 10:05:20 2002 ehmecol.dll A 155692 Wed Jul 17 10:07:18 2002 ehmefi.dll A 487467 Wed Jul 17 10:06:58 2002 HPLJ4.BUD A39312 Tue Sep 7 20:21:20 2004 HPLJ4.GPD A26569 Fri Jul 30 16:02:58 1999 PCL5ERES.DLLA 676352 Tue Nov 30 01:30:54 1999 PS5UI.DLL A 130048 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 PSCRIPT.HLP A26038 Mon Jul 22 14:05:04 2002 PSCRIPT.NTF A 792644 Mon Jul 22 14:05:04 2002 PSCRIPT5.DLLA 455168 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 STDNAMES.GPDA14362 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 TTFSUB.GPD A 698 Mon Jun 7 15:48:52 1999 TTY.BUD A21596 Tue Sep 7 23:22:27 2004 TTY.DLL A 8464 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 TTY.GPD A12507 Fri Jul 30 16:06:18 1999 TTY.INI A 62 Fri May 8 18:04:12 1998 TTYRES.DLL A39424 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 TTYUI.DLL A16144 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 TTYUI.HLP A14318 Thu Oct 7 15:08:06 1999 UNIDRV.DLL A 239104 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 UNIDRV.HLP A21225 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 UNIDRVUI.DLLA 197120 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 UNIRES.DLL A 619520 Thu Jun 19 14:05:04 2003 If you just had the driver files from Adobe, including the .INF file

Apparently, the NT 4 driver that the old CUPS driver for Windows were based on were too buggy. The V1.06 Adobe driver you referred to seems to have the new PS driver files that are recommended (ps5ui.dll, pscript5.dll, pscript.hlp, pscript.ntf). However, don't think you can just install those manually, you really need to use the cupsaddsmb program as it does other things with the PPD. So, the cupsaddsmb script in CUPS 1.1.21rc2 handles the files properly for the new recommended way of doing things. The files needed are listed in the accompanying cupsaddsmb manpage. Sean - thanks for the information, that clears up a ton of confusion - so the new cupsaddsmb takes into account the new psotscript files - good to know... if you dont mind, would it be possible to email me the man page output?

RE: [Samba] Win2K Machine Accounts No Longer Valid after Samba PDC Upgrade (2.2.2 to 2.2.8a)
-Original Message- From: Geoff Stitt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] Win2K Machine Accounts No Longer Valid after Samba PDC Upgrade (2.2.2 to 2.2.8a) My apolgies in posting this again. However I was hoping someone had a suggestion... Symptom: After upgrading our Primary Domain Controller from Samba 2.2.2 to Samba 2.2.8a, users attempting to login from Windows 2000 clients are no longer able to do so. Details: After some research it was discovered that if a Windows 2000 client re-joins the domain served by the upgraded version of Samba, users are then able to, once again, log into this domain. It was also discovered that if the Samba PDC was downgraded to its original version of 2.2.2, any windows 2000 client that re-joined the domain while the Samba PDC was at version 2.2.8a, was still able to log into the domain. As additional information, both versions of the Samba PDC were compiled on SPARC architecture running Solaris 8.0 As the above comments suggest, machine accounts are backward-compatible, but *not* forward-compatible between Samba versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.8a. After researching the Samba mailing lists and newsgroups it is more or less understood that in order to deal with problems of this nature each windows 2000 machine account needs to be recreated. Which is a very time-consuming effort. Is there a better way to deal with this upgrade path? Ideally where I don't have to visit each windows 2000 machine in order to re-create their machine accounts? A migration utility or set of server-side steps perhaps? ...geoff I cant comment on the compatibility issues, but you could make an account that will allow the addition of the machines to the domain and then set the add user script to do the rest. Granted you will have to ask your users to do some work, but it is better than schleping all over. Another suggestion would be fo r future to put a remote viewer app on your clients (tightvnc.com) that will allow you to do it all remotely. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

RE: [Samba] required entries in ldap for samba...
I sucesfully linked my samba install with a ldap database, and smbpasswd -a works with user adds, etc. But - I know that in order to join the domain from WIN2K and XP I need to provide a username/password - exactly what ldif entries are needed in my ldap db for that? Is it 'administrator' with a uid of 0 - Can I use smbpasswd to make this, or ldif/ldapadd? Thanks you need to make a machine account (that is what the username/password allows) There is a utility called smbldap-tools which has a user add script that can be called transparently when trying to join a computer to the domain. This script creates the machine account (machinename$). You could create them by hand but that becomes a bit more laborious. When it asks you for an authorized user/password you can simply use root/password or if you have domain admin group defined, any of those users will let allow the script to execute and create the machine account. -- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
RE: [Samba] Users losing connection at random
what linux distro are you using...I had myseterious dropped connections with SUSE -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 3:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] Users losing connection at random First let me start off by thanking you for your time. I have what I think is a unique problem. Daily on average there are about 67 users that connect to my server. Usually I will get a call from 1 or 2 of them in the morning saying that they cannot log onto the server. The message they keep receiving is that their domain password is incorrect. I have exhausted myself with research and cannot find a fix for this. So far my only resolution has been to restart the smb service. Once I do that, my two users can immediately log in. This as you can guess creates issues for those who were logged in. Also, at some point during the day I will get a series of calls from a different set of users stating that they cannot access they're share anymore. But, if we wait five minutes or so it comes right back. There is no need to log off and back on again. Print ques also seem to be affected. I've tried to look for something that is consistent about this problem and so far it is only the times of day that it happens. Usually around 9am or 1pm. Nothing else clicks. I'm using '98, 2k and XP clients throughout my building. It originally started out that it was only the '98 systems who were effected but lately it has spread to some 2k machines. XP does not have the password problem but we do lose access to shares. It just seems to randomly pick users at will. It does not keep happening to the same individual or machine. On top of all of that my putty (ssh) sessions now blow up once in a while. I was using webmin as a guide but it kept going wild on my smbpasswd file so I removed it. Since it's removal my files have not been mysteriously altered.

[Samba] Backup - suggestions needed....
Linux RH 7.3, Samba 2.2.7a
NT 4.0 SP6 - Backup Exec 8.5
The linux box is running the Backup Exec client for Unix
('http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/192093.htm')
Occasionally, when doing a backup the entire linux system freezes. I have
to do a hard reboot without a shutdown, etc.
There is 40 plus gigs on the backup, so I dont think a tar and copy would be
bery efficient.
I am wondering a couple things here:
1. Is anyone successfull with doing a backup off of linux using BE and the
BE agent for UNIX?
2. Is there a better way to do this? I thought I could be able to connect
to the samba share and pull it off that way, but that doesnt work...
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [Samba] NT username/password export
Thanks for those utiltiies...I knew i saw them somewhere...I was successful in creating a smbpasswd file using the pwdump utility.. Now here is my question (maybe someone know a work around): If a username/password pair exists in the smbpasswd file...is there a way that the corresponding username/UID pair does not need to exist in the passwd file? I guess what I am hoping for is a way samba can just autheticate off of the smbpasswd file so I dont have to script out a useradd based on that pwdump file.

There are two ways of doing this that I'm aware of: pwdump and net rpc vampire. The former is an exe that runs on the domain controller and dumps out (I think) a smbpasswd-format file, the latter uses similar methods to BDC synchronization to extract the information. pwdump should turn up in any halfway decent google search, and net rpc vampire is part of the current CVS.

RE: [Samba] NT username/password export
This is what I have tried with thier respective outcomes: 1. no local or samba accounts - strictly use winbind to authenticate off NT PDC AUTHENTICATION SUCCESS 2. export NT passwords using pwdump move that to the linux box changing permissions and group to 600 and root, create local users using useradd -u RID AUTHENTICATION SUCCESS 3. changed one username in the pwdump to a user that is not on the PDC, created the respective local account (this was to verify I still wasnt authenticating off the NT PDC) AUTHENTICATION SUCCESS 4. removed that local user AUTHENTICATION FAILURE Doing number 4 is what brought me to my last email. It would make sense that the smbpasswd file has a username/password and one can just authenticate off that file..but it doesnt seem to want to behave like that out of the box... The reason I am trying this is that I would like to migrate over to strictly Linux backend and am trying to find the most efficient way to create user password files Any other suggestions would be appreciated Chris -Original Message- From: Ronan Waide [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 11:20 AM To: Chris McKeever Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Samba] NT username/password export On November 21, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Thanks for those utiltiies...I knew i saw them somewhere...I was successful in creating a smbpasswd file using the pwdump utility..

Right now, as I understand it, you must have a unix account to correspond to the SMB account. I thought that winbindd might alleviate this in the particular situation I'm dealing with, but it doesn't appear to be the case. Perhaps manually building your smbpasswd obviates the requirement for such accounts. So. I'd suggest you try joining to your domain, then fire up winbindd, and see what happens.

RE: [Samba] Samba as BDC in NT domain
I am trying to work out a work around for this...I have used PWDUMP to extract the NT SAM into a smbpasswd file. Theoretically..one could write a script that would then parse that file and run useradd -u RID to create the local accountsI have done it manually and it works very well (there is some issue with the groups, but I guess that is a secondary battle) what I would like to do is just circumvemt the need for the local users and pull the password from the smbpasswd...but as I write this I think the reason samba needs a local account for local authentication is the groups.. -Original Message- From: Robert Adkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 2:55 PM To: Pasi Holmström; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Samba] Samba as BDC in NT domain I have only read that Samba is able to act as a BDC for another Samba PDC system.

[Samba] WINBIND cache and security
Two logistic questions regarding winbind: 1. I am not clear based on the description as to the winbind cache. I am wondering if the PDC of the network goes down, if the WINBIND cache maintain the passwords as well as the user/group information...ORif with each request the server actually polls the PDC to get the password? 2. Currently, since I am using full NT user/group authentication without any local users, I have the directory permissions set to 777..is this the correct way to do it, it was the only way I could ifnd to let read/write access? In addition, if there is a sub-directory that needs different access rights, can that not be achieved because I am using the NT authentication?

Subject: [Samba] RE: Backup Samba Using ARCServe
Hi Norman,
if you use winbind then you can access a share using normal windows NT boxes
like your Arcserve server. However, you must use a DOMAIN Account(not unix
account), ie. MYDOMAIN\Administrator.
You could map a temporary drive from NT lie this: net use t:
\\sambaserver\backupshare password /user:mydomain\Administrator
A problem is the area of file permissions and ACLS. First of all your
backup account must have read permission to this share for this to work.
Secondly I am quite certain that a restore with Arcserve will not have the
correct permissions /acls.
I get around this by using tar -cp to make a first unix backup capturing
permission settings. Arcserve then simply collects the tar files from this
share. If you use ACLs you need to use a different unix utility like star
or xfsdump (if you use an XFS file system).
Some versions of Arcserve can only backup local files...
hope this helps

Hi,
Has anyone have success backing up Samba share using
ARCServe? I can copy/modify files on the Samba share from the
backup machine, but cannot login using ARCServe for backup.
Would someone please share their experience? I thought
windbind would work for the login facility.

RE: [Samba] joining an NT PDC, WinNT user privileges
I just finished doing this myself (and now am trying to set it up at work). Joining the computer to the domain smbpasswd -j (from the winbind man) justs creates a computer account for the samba share..from my understanding, that has nothing to do with the actual samba shares that will be implemented..so you just need to use the smbpasswd -j command with a user account that has enough priviledge to add a computer to the domain. The priviledges for files are created in the smb.conf file where you dictate read/write priviledges based on the NT account information My hardest part was configuring the pam modules to allow samba access without needing to setup local linux and samba accounts...100% off the domain user table -Original Message- From: Daniel E.
