Re: [Samba] Join AD domain using security = domain ?
Ah excellent ! Thanks for your help Jerry. I came right. My only problem is that when a client connects to my Samba, Samba first attempts to connect to the AD DC on port 445 to authenticate the user - this times out after some seconds and then successfully goes through on port 139. Must be something on the AD DC that is stopping this ? Is there any way I can try forcing Samba to only use port 139 in that request to the AD DC ? I've tried 'smb ports = 139' - this of course seems to be only for the 'server' side of Samba. Any ideas ?

Thanks Jerry. I thought the same too. I don't get a connection refused, it times out. Perhaps something on the LAN. It's a new AD setup running on HP blades for 1000+ users. I'll need to check with the MS admins. Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated ! Keep well.

Hi Jerry, Thanks for your reply. Sound like what you've said is correct.

Samba does not manipulate the time value at all. It just returns the value to the client at logon time. So unless I'm missing something here in the code, the value must be stored in the client's timezone. So your comment about users not being able to logon 2 hours before the logon end time makes sense.

Doubblecheck they are consistent and in sync. Last year i had on client pc of a customer beleave it was summertime but in fact that ended a week before. Result were, all files from this client stored to the samba server got timestamps 2 hours back in time.

Re: [Samba] Re: Logon Hours problems (really stuck)
Hi guys, Thanks for all your help with this but I'm still stuck. The logon hours restrictions worked 100% after I set the timezone to GMT and set the clock to our local time here in South Africa. I then upgraded the Samba version to 3.0.11 and suddenly the logon hours restrictions went wrong again. I've tried all combinations op time offset in the smb.conf and tried changing the timezone back to SAST but still no luck. I've now downgraded back to Samba-3.0.9 and set the timezone back to GMT however this time things still seem out by 2 hours e.g. 2 hours need to be added to the logon times to allow users to log in whereas before this seemed to work perfectly. Could this really be a Slackware Linux issue ? The timezone and time settings on the workstations are 100% correct. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Doubblecheck they are consistent and in sync. Last year i had on client pc of a customer beleave it was summertime but in fact that ended a week before. Result were, all files from this client stored to the samba server got timestamps 2 hours back in time. I guess if they had defined kickofftimes this machine would have been kicked 2 hours too early. doesn't that sound a little familiar to you? Fixed the clients timesetting and all was fine again.

Re: [Samba] Veto files applied per group
Hi Malte, Sorry to bug you with this, but I've tried it and it does not seem to work - perhaps something I've missed ? Running testparm gives me the following error: Can't find include file /usr/local/samba/lib/%g-smb.conf In my smb.conf I have the following: comment = Home Directories read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 browseable = no include = /usr/local/samba/lib/%g-smb.conf In the /usr/local/samba/lib/students-smb.conf file I have only the following: veto files = /*.mp3/*.avi/*.mpg/ Running smbmount and mounting the share as the user who is a student and writing a .mp3 file to the share works perfectly when it should be denied. When I do this I get the same can't find include file... error before smbmount actually mounts the share. I've tried various things including %G instead of %g etc. It just seems that Samba is not expanding the %G or %g variables. Any ideas ? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Craig, Thanks for your reply. My suggestions for using a preexec script is a sort of last resort option. I could rather configure a job in cron that checks permissions. Ideally I need the inherit permissions option but with the ability to also include user group ownership. To get this done samba would require root privileges to change the ownership of files to that of the parent folder - which probably wouldn't be a good idea ? Thanks for your help so far. Any assistance/input would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Samba] Inherit permissions question (Please help)
Hi Thomas, Thank you for your reply and the information. Will the s-Bit cause all new files that are written by a Domain Admin to the user1/ folder to be owned by user1 ? My problem is that Domain Admins can write to users' folders in the [userprofile] share but then the respective user who owns the folder can't access the new data in it. The inherit permisions would solve my problem except that it does not allow user/group ownership to be passed down onto files. Any ideas ? :) Thank you for your help so far.

Re: [Samba] Inherit permissions question (Please help)
Hi Gerry, Thanks for your reply. OK, that makes sense. Unfortunately I can't use the force user option on the share due to the sub folders in the share being owned separately by other users (600+ of them). If the administrator(root) had to write a file (test.txt) to the user1 folder and I had inherit permissions turned on, then file would be written as: rwx-- 16 root Domain Admins 0 2005-01-21 07:07 test.txt Unfortunately I need user1 to own the file, just like it's parent directory, which is as follows: drwx- 16 user1 users 4096 2005-01-21 user1/ The problem is that I have other users in the same userprofile share, which each need to own their own profile folder and files in them. Perhaps configuring filesystem ACLs and turning on inherit acls would help ? Any ideas ? :) Perhaps I need to write a postexec script that looks at the user's folder name, which corresponds to the username and does a chmod -R [user] [user] on the folder after data is written to it ?

Hi Mac, Thanks for your reply. I did try profile acls = yes on the Profiles share. This does seem to have helped but has not totally resolved the problem. Users still seem to pick up the same error now and again when logging on. Most of the time it works perfectly, though perhaps 2 out of 10 times the error will pop up. David.

[Samba] Intermittent Network name cannot be found error when accessing XP roaming profile
Hi guys, How are you ? I've installed samba-3.0.7 from source on a Slackware Linux 10.0 server configured with --with-ldap as a backend (OpenLDAP-2.2.13) and with nss_ldap installed. I have my profiles share configured as follows: [profiles] comment = Profile Share path = /data/profiles writeable = yes guest ok = yes browseable = no profile acls = yes csc policy = disable Permissions on a user's profile folder: drwxrwxr-x 12 pupil Domain Admins 424 2004-10-14 13:46 pupil Most of the time logins from Windows X.P. (SP1) PCs work perfectly and the roaming profile comes across, however sometimes an error Cannot access roaming profile ... ... .. network name cannot be found comes up. The error is intermittent and does not seem to stick to any sort of pattern. I've looked all over and found that other people have experienced the same problem but I can't seem to find a solid fix for it. Perhaps installing X.P. Service Pack 2 will sort it out ?

Re: [Samba] Intermittent Network name cannot be found error when accessing XP roaming profile
Further to my email earlier I've come across http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ProfileMgmt.html#id2577285 This explains that a group policy must be set up so that Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders is enabled. Does anyone know of another way to do this other than doing it through active directory or on each XP workstation ? Could this be what's causing the problem I'm experiencing ? Thank you in advance.

After populating the database with smbldap-populate I was able to first add users to /etc/passwd etc. and then to LDAP with smbldap-useradd -a and access the server via Windows PCs. Everything appeared to be working correctly. My only problem is that I cannot seem to get a machine account added correctly. I've added the PC name to /etc/passwd etc. with useradd -s /bin/false -g computers pc1$ and also run smbldap-useradd -w pc1. When the computer attempts to join the domain it receives an unable to join domain error.

[Samba] pdbedit and password expiry
Hi guys/girls, How are you ? I've been struggling to get my users' passwords to expire. My configuration is samba-3.0 running with the standard smbpasswd back-end. Everything that I can find on the web says I should set the following to expire my users passwords after 28 days.: pdbedit -v -P 'minimum password age' -C 300 pdbedit -v -P 'maximum password age' -C 2419200 Unfortunately my users never get prompted for a new password. When I do a pdbedit -v -u username all the details come up, however what I find interesting is the following: Password can change: Wed, 04 Feb 2004 16:59:54 GMT Password must change: Fri, 13 Dec 1901 22:45:51 GMT What ever I try I cannot change the Password must change: line.

[Samba] Windows 2000 password change with smbpasswd - login problem
Hello, Any ideas on this one ? Hopefully not being too pesky ? :) --- Hi guys, How are you ? My setup is as follows: Samba-3.0.0 PDC on a Slackware-9.0 box, with mixed N.T. and Windows 2000 clients. Everything has been running perfectly for months however now, it seems I've picked up a bit of a weird problem when changing a users password via smbpasswd. This problem only appears to affect users who log onto the Samba domain using a Windows 2000 PC. i.e If I change a password for an N.T. 4.0 user the user merely has to log out of N.T. and log back on with his new password, everything works perfectly. If I change a password for a Windows 2000 user, the user logs off Windows 2000, tries to login again, but receives and incorrect username/password error. Ever come across this before ?

If I change a password for a Windows 2000 user, the user logs off Windows 2000, tries to login again, but receives and incorrect username/password error. Ever come across this before ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Many thanks and kind regards, David Wilson D c D a t a +27 33 3427003 +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinuxBox S.A.: Africa's largest free shell provider.

[Samba] -Please assist with Machine password change failed-
Hi guys and girls, I run a Samba-3.0 PDC for about 30 N.T. workstations on a Slackware Linux box. I often see the following error in the N.T. workstation's event log: Changing machine account password for account x$ failed with the following error: The handle is invalid. I'm not using PAM in any way. Any ideas what this could be ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Many thanks and kind regards, David Wilson D c D a t a +27 33 3427003 +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinuxBox S.A.: Africa's largest free shell provider.

Re: [Samba] Re: Large (3000+ users) NT to Samba migration
Hi Jim, Thank you for your response - apologies for the delay in getting back to you. I've been supporting Slackware Linux for years and will probably ask my client to stick with it - unless you can recommend another distribution ? Many thanks and kind regards.

I would reccomend sticking with it unless you have specific needs that dictate otherwise. Custom front ends can be written using Java. 2.) User/machine account migration utilities. There is a script package called smbldap-tools that might contain a script for this. These days it is usually packaged with the server and is usually found in '/usr/local/samba/scripts'. slapcat is another alternative although I am uncertain as how to go about using it on a remote M$ system. 3.) Front-ends for adding user/machine accounts. There is a script for it in smbldap-tools. Would probably be quite easy to rig up a secured web page as a front end for it. There is also such tools as 'directory_administrator', gq, and I believe Mandrake's UserDrake also will access an LDAP directory. 4.) Configuration of BDC(s). That is out of my area. Or any links to the information would be great. Many thanks and kind regards.

Re: [Samba] Large (3000+ users) NT to Samba migration
Hi Mikko, Thanks for your response. My client will only be migrating their servers to Linux, workstations will remain as is, a mixture of NT workstation, Win98 Win2000Pro PCs.

Are they migrating all computers (workstations and servers) to linux. If they are migrating all then I am not sure is samba the right choise. 2. If I have understood right samba 2.2.x doesn't support BDC's. But the 3.0 version will support BDC's.
