Sure. Latest AD still supports the RPC-based security=domain mode that does not require Kerberos at all. However, this assumes SMB signing which is only properly supported from Samba 3.0 on, so an upgrade is necessary here. Your W2k8 can be configured not to require signing, but Samba 2 is so old that I would highly recommend upgrading anyway.

Hi Volker Thanks for your answer below.

[Samba] Strange winbind behavior with netbios name, perfect with ip address
Hi all This is a bit of a continuation of an old thread, which I have had no joy in fixing. We have a samba server authenticating against a W2k3 server in security = ADS mode. If there is a file in a share, owned by user.domain users and chmod 700, it would normally be ONLY readable by that user. This is true only if the user goes to \\ip.add.of.srv\share - if he goes to \\servername\share, he cannot read the file. If the user goes to \\servername\share and creates a file, it is owned by him, so the server can distinguish the username. If i set the permissions g+r on the file, then the user can see the file just fine. Unfortunately so can anyone in domain users - this is not good for files which need to be readable only for the user. I am completely stumped, can anyone shed any light on this?

Share level security doesn't count though. ;-) The idea is not to need to create and update users on the Samba server itself (i.e. no local users, no entries in /etc/passwd, etc). The documentation says something about Domain and ADS level security being basically just forms of user level security, so - for the moment- it looks to me as if there's no way around creating those local users. Is that correct?

If you have a directory there already, you can change ownership with chmod, if you want all the files in the directory, you can chmod -R /dir/name/* Files created by users will be owned by them, unless you use force user.

Re: [Samba] Any danger in having two shares with same name?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Don't ask why I'm posing this question -- actually, I WILL explain below -- but is there any danger in having two shares in Samba with the same name? Here's our situation. We have a bunch of production machines out in the field. On those machines, we are constantly setting up special project shares for each user (different from the user's Home directory) that refer to private directories only accessible by that user. We define those special project shares in a series of smb.username.conf files, where we also define which of hundreds of other shares are accessible to that user particular user. The whole process of setting up shares is highly automated from the point of view of the end user. By the way, we reference those smb.username.conf files in the general smb.conf file with the statement: include = smb.%U.conf ... so each user sees all the shares listed in their own smb.username.conf file as well as all the browseable shares listed in the general smb.conf file. This arrangement was working perfectly, until we were asked to turn some of the systems into Primary Domain Controllers and give hundreds of users roaming profiles. Our users now want the special project share for each user to be automatically mapped as the P Drive in Windows whenever a user logs on to a client system. However, we have found that Windows won't process any shares listed in the smb.username.conf directories while it executes the logon.bat script during log on. We know the logon.bat file IS being executed -- it syncs the client time with the server time, and it maps any shares we specify in the general smb.conf file. But it won't map any shares defined in those smb.username.conf files. Curiously, if we run the logon.bat file again about 10 seconds after log on has completed, it will map the shares listed in the smb.username.conf file!. As a workaround, we decided to take an alternate approach to defining the special project shares. For each of the special project shares (that all users have) we put a listing in the general smb.conf file as follows: [Special Project Share A] Comment = Special Folder A path = /home/theboss/%U/Special Folder A read only = No write list = %U guest ok = Yes create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 So now, we have two listings for Special Project Share A -- one in the user's smb.username.conf file, and one in the general smb.conf file. The question is, is there any danger of Samba or the Windows workstations getting confused? Each of these duplicate shares has the SAME NAME, and refers to the EXACT SAME DIRECTORY on the Linux box. And has the same access and read/write settings. It's probably the same as if you accidentally created the same share twice in your smb.conf file. I would love to hear from a knowledgeable authority on this. The best solution, of course, would be to stop defining the Special Project Shares in the user's smb.username.conf files. However, we would have to make many changes in the underlying program that is creating these shares and for the next few months it's not practical to update the programs on so many individual user's machines. It's much more practical to simply send out a new smb.conf file to every user. I dont mean to be nosy, but why would every user need a copy of smb.conf? Do they also run their own samba servers? It sounds like a very interesting setup you have - what is the program that makes your shares? Does it rewrite your smb.conf? Could you not just remove the line include = smb.%U.conf? That way they would still get the project share, and it would not matter about the customised smb.user.conf file. PS I dont think duplicate entries in smb.conf will hurt. I just discovered a duplicate in one of our include confs, and it was not giving any errors. (include = %L.conf - for different netbios names) It seems that the last read one is the one that is used. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] Moving fileserver
Turbo Fredriksson wrote:
I'm having a problem here I'm not sure how to solve, so I
hope someone else have done the same (and succeeded :)
I have an old smb server ('tux') which is ancient (both
in software and hardware) and can't handle the load.
This machine is running version 2.2.3a-14.1 (Debian
GNU/Linux woody) with 'character set = ISO8859-1'.
The new smb server ('bella') runs samba version
3.0.10-1 (Debian GNU/Linux sarge) and is fully
UTF-8 enabled...
Now, all files from tux must somehow - this is the
main problem - be moved to bella. I can't mount
the disk from tux in bella for two reasons:
- bella is using a very limited IDE interface
which can't find the disk (Dell PowerEdge 1800).
- Because of the differences in NLS (?), any copy
from one disk to another will make the file names
not to show up correctly on the windows clients.
Same problem (last one) with NFS. The only way I could
find is to SMB mount tux on bella and just copy the
files (with 'find | cpio'). This works fine, exept the
file owner and group doesn't match (root is mounting,
root is owning all files).
I went through with this, hoping I could write a script
that sets owner/group of the files on bella. But this
seemed more difficult than anticipated. Because of the
differences in NLS, the filenames won't match!
Creating a list of filenames on both machines, and diffing
those two files will give me:
-./shares/delade/Bilder/Jobb bilder/Färöarna/Mvc00019.jpg
+./shares/delade/Bilder/Jobb bilder/FAArAA¶arnMvc0001919.jpg
I hope this goes through correctly, but the line which
starts with '-' is located on 'tux' and the line which
starts with '+' is located on 'bella'. The problem
is that the file names don't match betwen the two, so
I can't take a list from tux, and just use that name
for 'chown' on bella...
There are QUITE (haven't counted, but the diff is huge) a
lot of these changes, so catching all characters and do
a translation will take ages.
And, another thing that looks weird is that some file
names don't seem to differ at all(!):
+./shares/delade/PPV rapporter/020703 Örgryte - Örebro.xls
-./shares/delade/PPV rapporter/020703 Örgryte - Örebro.xls
Anyone that have done something like this before and
have a pointer/script to share?
One solution may be to rsync -az all the files, then copy the old tdbs
across? not sure if they will just upgrade themselves - it might be an
idea to upgrade tux to 3.0.10 to get the tdbs the same, then dump them
across, the tdbs from tux should contain the username maps, and bella
will then recognise the correct users...
Not tried it like that, but i have moved files from one server to
another with rsync and dumped tdbs and it worked (the samba versions
were the same though, and it was in an AD environment with winbind, so I
guess the mappings were SID samba user.
Not sure if that helps, but its an idea!

Same as setting up samba for anything. The mail pdf printer is just a

echo Hi $USER, the PDF version of the file you just printed is located

folder, or email it. Please don't reply to this email. Always look twice

Then I added this to my smb.conf

Make sure the clients use a postscript driver (I think we used an HP

when they print to it, it mails them a link to the saved pdf (we were

Re: [Samba] Switch profile from local to roaming?
You could try this: on the local computer add an account, right click my computer manage Local Users and Groups rclick add user. Put your domain in and the user name (the user must be a domain user already) Make them a power user. Log off, log on as new user to domain, log off (this will make a section for them under docs and settings. Log on as domain admin. Right click my computer properties advanced User Profiles : Settings. Select the old account (it will be in the format user/localmachinename) Click Copy To Go to the documents and settings dir (usually C:) and select the new domain users dir you just made by logging on as her. Select this dir Click Permitted to use: change Select the DOMAIN user, ie DOMAIN\User Press OK, account is copied exactly, log off Log on to domain as new user, log off (this copies the files to the roaming location) This has always worked for me, the only thing that sometimes does not work is that their desktop background changes.

Look for the lines that look like this: passwd: files (winbind) shadow: files group: files (winbind) they should be similar to that (the stuff in brackets is what you should add (without the brackets). Restart winbind and smb and you should be good to go. (Make sure your shares are writeable as well ie your [public] share: as root type `chmod 777 /export/public` - this gives the world read, write and execute on the dir. PS. Try to respond via the samba list, this makes it possible for other people to search (so if someone else has the same problem, they can just search the list - reply all works!)

Re: [Samba] Restricting file types
This works well for file servers only, but there is a way round it which might be good to bear in mind - Say you have blocked /*.php/*.asp/ to prevent samba users making scripts on your web server (i am guessing that you have shared your webroot?) Now make a php file, rename it to file.txt and move it to the server - no problem. Once it is on the server, rename it to file.php. The file disappears, but only to samba users - the file is still there named file.php and can be accessed by anything other than samba (ie apache) Mike Stewart wrote: Yes, and very useful it is too :-) In the Globals section I put this to stop all users cluttering up the server with mp3 files. You can put it in each required share definition rather than globals though. veto files = /*.mp3/ basically it starts with a / then file name and type and then ends with / so, veto files = /*.bat/*.scr/mike.*/ would stop all bat and scr files, and any file called mike with any ext.

Re: [Samba] Moving Profiles
I guess there are not too many users to move over? (also that you are using win2k/xp) There is a way to move the profiles *after* they have been joined to the PDC. Log in to the machine with the new username, this will create a new profile, log out immediately. Log in as an admin account (but not the addministrator that the users were using) Right click my computer properties advanced user profiles settings. Select the old account and click copy to.. choose the new user folder in documents and settings (this will warn that there is alreadyy a profile there and it will be cleared just ok it. The last bit to do is change permission to use (or something very similar) change this to the new username (make sure you put it in the format DOMAIN\user) - this will copy the profile flawlessly to the new user, a bit slow if there are a number of them, but less than 5 or so and its a good fix. Hope that helps, H Mark Lidstone wrote: Hi everyone, I'm about to install a Samba PDC in a network that previously was working as a workgroup. All the users have been logging into their local machines as administrator and all with the same password.

So far I have been thinking about doing the following: 1) Create a second administrator account on each machine 2) Login as the second administrator and copy the administrator profile to another folder, renamed for the new user's username (e.g. Documents and Settings\Administrator - Documents and Settings\DOMAIN.username) 3) Change ownership/permissions on the new profile folder to match that of the new user I'm also planning on making sure that roaming profiles are disabled using the LocalProfile registry key that Michael Lueck recently posted about on here. Users will have a network-home folder that will be backed up which should be plenty enough for them. Can anyone point out what problems this will cause?

Re: [Samba] on the fly access and privilege determination
You could enable ACLs and set permissions with those, using the normal windows security dialog. There is a howto here: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto/ Once ACLs are working, just set up permissions as you would on a windows file server. If you do not want to use ACLs you could use the options in smb.conf: [teachersonly] write list = (users or groups who can write to the folder) valid users = (users or groups who can access the folder) You will probably have more flexibility using ACLs Hope that helps Sahibzada Junaid Noor wrote: Hi, I have a active directory domain of windows 2000. inside AD i have three user groups.

Re: [Samba] The semaphore timeout period has expired
Hi Oleg It was not a samba problem at all! I did 2 things: changed the network card from the onboard Asus P4P800 Delux Mobo to an intel 1000. I had used a patch to update the kernel for the boards onboard RAID (it was not a raid patch, it just allowed the 2 extra ide channels to be seen by linux) and I reverted back to my old kernel (2.6.5-10 from SuSE rpm) I have made no changes to the e1000 driver from default and it works fine. It was a strange problem because the windows box that the copy was initiated from would give the error (The semaphore timeout period has expired) and the linux box would then slow down and eventually hang. I could not get anything to work - ssh, telnet, even direct on the box - the only way to get out of the hang was the 'hard' way... The intel card now seems to be working fine, but i think the old one would be ok as well, I think it was a buggy kernel due to the patch. I am now using the board without the extra IDE channels (ASUS support linux by giving a binary only driver for redhat 7.2 - bollox.

Re: [Samba] Erronous username character substitution ( %u )
Have you tried with %U (not %u)? I have not tried this, but apparently it is the session username (ie requested username, not necessarily the given username). Jeroen Vogelpoel wrote: Good day, I'm having a few problems with Samba 3.0.2a, specifically involving the username character substitute, %u. For some reason, Samba resolves the %u character wrongly when used in the path parameter, where it resolves it as the guest account. However, the server in question has map to guest set to never and both guest ok and guest only set to 0. The odd thing is, however, that the %u substitution in the comment parameter is resolves correctly to the username, showing a comment as expected with the mapped username. However, the logs show that even though the user is mapped and then authenticated correctly, it still connects to the share as a guest user. The question is, how do I get Samba to properly connect to the share with the authenticated username instead of the guest account?

Re: [Samba] Printer Drivers
I am no expert but I struggled for a bit with this as well... What it looks like you need to do is add a raw print queue, this is fairly simple, you may need to edit some files as well. If you use CUPS, look for and uncomment #application/octet-... in the files: /etc/cups/mime.types and /etc/cups/mime.convs Check this for help: http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/CUPS-printing.html#id2557437 You can add a raw queue from the cups http interface: http://localhost:631 Once you have a raw queue, (and also / load printers = yes in [global] of smb.conf) /you need to connect to the printer as a printer admin (printer admin = YOURDOMAIN+YOU) from a windows box. Open \\yoursambaserver and connect to Printers and Faxes. Get properties on the printer, it will warn that no driver is installed and offer to do one - this bombed out for me, so now i just click cancel there, then go to the advanced tab in the properties dialog and add the driver from there. Once that is done, windows clients just browse the samba box, right click the printer, and say connect Hope that helps! samba wrote: Hi all I have a linux system running samba Samba 2.2.7a-SuSE.

Re: [Samba] Locked files stay locked - copy operation from XP to Samba fails
I am having a very similar problem copying files from the old sbs server - I thought it might be the onboard nic (1gig on asus board) so I have installed an intel pro1000 (e1000 module) - this seemed to work but i have just had another crash (I am a relative newbie to linux so did not know how to recover from it - top did not show any zombie or cpu hogging processes - even shutdown-r now would not do it so i did the nasty on the reset button..)

[Samba] strange [homes] behavior
Hello I am having a very trippy time trying to get the [homes] share to work on my samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE (SuSE 9.0) server working. Users home folders have been copied from an old sbs server to /data1/fileroot/PersonalFiles. Here is the [homes] section of my smb.conf: [homes] path = /data1/fileroot/PersonalFiles/%S valid users = %S admin users = MYDOMAIN\administrator browseable = No exec = echo u=%u S=%S /data1/fileroot/ITManagement/connhome.rtf The exec= is my attempt at making sure the variables are subsituted properly (this still does not work all the time, even though the file is chmod 777). The correct directory always shows in explorer when the server is connected to ie \\samba\fred but only works SOMETIMES - i cannot figure out what causes this! Sometimes the comment for the directory (in windows explorer) is Home directory of DOMAIN\User, sometimes it is Home directory of User - Same user, same box, after disconnecting the user or the user rebooting his xp machine, it will change and prompt for authentication, sometimes it will just let him in. During this the samba server has not been touched, connected to or looked at. I do not know if it is related, but i occasionally get the following in log.smbd: [DateTime, 0] lib/substitute.c:alloc_sub_basic(505) alloc_sub_basic: NULL source string! This should not happen If I remove valid users=%S, the users can all connect succesfully to their home directories - the problem with this is that they can also connect to anyone elses home directory. The only other alternative I can think of is to individually set permissions on each users home folder, which will take quite a while! Any suggestions?

The box is joined to a 2k3 domain, wbinfo works fine, acls work and users are authenticated properly.

The windows box (old server) that was copying the files displays the error The semaphore timeout period has expired and no shares can be accessed. The files being copied during crash were different sizes (i thought it might be because of huge files) : 1st crash the file was 380Mb, second crash 74k. I checked log.smbd and there do not seem to be any error messages (just connect and close messages). Is it possible that this is not actually a samba problem?

Re: [Samba] SAGE Line 50
Hello
I have used a very basic share, and it seems that users can still
connect concurrently without locking problems:
[Accounts]
path = /data1/fileroot/Accounts
read only = No
SuSE9.0 with Samba 3.0.3pre2 from rpm, security DOMAIN, w3k active
directory joined.
This is all in smb.conf - the directory has acls to keep out prying eyes.
I tried to use valid users=accounts with hide unreadable=yes in [global]
but other users could still see the share, so I have done it this way
(also it is easier to manage for other windows-loving admins)
Not sure if it is a security risk to use acls instead, but it works!
