[Samba] authentication question: pptp tunnels for cisco vpn 3000
I have a Cisco VPN Concentrator 3000, It has the ability to auth PPTP tunnels off of a WinNT Domain controler. Well, I to use my samba3 box instead of a WinNT box. I have samba3 running off of an LDAP back end. Anyway, I setup the VPN Concentrator to auth off of the samba box, and when I test it with the test option, and it works, but when I try to auth a pptp tunnel, it fails saying the password is wrong. Any ideas? My vote is for the stupid concentrator to meet some thermite or a metal baseball batt. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

That might help.

Re: [Samba] RE: Quickbooks revisited
Well, since Intuit strongly recommends not letting your QB data file get much bigger than 40MB for this very reason, I would say the file size is your problem. Just checked the db that is on our servers, one is only 10 megs, the other is only 1 meg. /me bashes quickbooks I've been trying to get our Comptroller to look at it, but he's pushing for MAS90 because thats what he knows (I guess its good, but its expensive). MAS90 is a very good product, but it raises hell even on NT servers. At one job we had mas90, we had sage (they changed their name after a class action lawsuit regarding year 2000 bugs) come in and fix our problems... they were never able to fix them completely, apparently, they spent lots of time hacking our server's registry, from what I've read about what happened (they visited before I started), they essentially hacked NT to turn off all file locking... fun fun. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Win2k File Locking/performance/getting kicked off (kindawas: quickbooks)
Ok, My controller continues to have issues. I'm getting fed up as he is, and I'm disabling file locking for him tonight, but apparently, word/excel are locking up and coming up with debug screens. I don't necessarily think these problems are dude to samba, but as always, I must eliminate all possibilities. The controler uses Win2k Pro, He says it takes 5+ minutes to open word/excel, that they are just crashing when interacting with the server, and that he is getting the good old disconnected, etc etc message from quickbooks. Anybody else running into simular problems with win2k? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] what is the default amount of time that smbpasswdincrements the sambaPwdMustChange value
So I get a phone call about my companie's controler not being able to log into samba. About two weeks ago we migrated from Win2k Server to Samba running on LDAP. What would be the default value that sambaPwdMustChange would be incremented? This is NT Time Right (1 unit for every 100 ms from 1600 right?) I just had to bump everybody what I'm guessing is three weeks, but I need to know soon so I don't get woken up out of bed again! signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

RE: [Samba] WinXP can`t log on Samba PDC
So what does this XP Patch do? In regards to XP, I have XP Home and Pro laptops that have issues when talking to samba, they connect, then eventually time out, or disconnect, upon reconnect, XP tries to log in with administrator or a blank username. Its driving me to insomnia because I work third shift, and my coworkers batty because they keep having to call me during the day.

I felt like a dummy when I opened up that file and looked at it. Keep in mind that if you are using Samba in a workgroup setting, the patch is not needed. Also the patch is only good for XP ProXP does not support domain logins. Yeah, I hate that some users have home, I'm itching to move everybody to a domain.. I figure even though I hate windows, I might as well use it's best features. As far as XP timing out or disconnecting, do you mean the actual mapped drives timeout and lose connection.?? One thing my I have found that helps eleviate this particular issue is to turn off the web client service if you do not use it. Web Client Service? What is that? Keep in mind, I've been slowly going to Linux over the last 7 years, and I don't have a windows box to my name, I only have to support XP because ppl like it where I work :( I think I need to start hinting with all the Redhat 9 Demo Cds I have in my appartment. Now with XP loginng in with the admin password, I am not sure about this one. It will probably get fixed in service pack 12 :-). Seriously maybe some one else knows. Geee... I have a strange feeling its some stupid setting that the windows admin has been setting laptops up with, I finally had her fedex me a laptop that she had just setup so I can check inter-op correctly. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Quickbooks revisited
What about file locking? I've run into lots of file locking problems, leading me to slowly just turn off file locking on several shares due to quickbooks. My user also reports that quickbooks is now slower since I took the server to linux/samba from the win2k server that was limited to .

If my client actually wanted me too I'd rather create my own accounting software with a better interface and a mysql backend but that isn't going to happen. A few things with QuickBooks that I have noticed that maybe will help. #1. QuickBooks in multi-user mode is much slower than in single user mode. This is the (crappy) design of QuickBooks. It has to do with the fact that QuickBooks checks everything everywhere when in multiuser mode to make sure that no data gets corrupted (even though it has corrupted before). Our company datafile is around ~180mb. #2. This problem will not be solved easily at all. Quickbooks appears to be as slow as the weakest client link. In our case a P2 300 w/ 64 megs of ram. Again, this has to do with #1. #3. Upgrading Quickbooks won't help. We've had many versions in the past and currently run the Enterprise Edition. It still can be as slow as a turtle under certain operations. #4. My biggest complain with this software is that it requires it's users to be Power Users. Boy do I hate that With samba it's very difficult for me to limit a Power user's ability and I have had people take advantge of it repeatedly.

[Samba] Samba3.0b1 Issues with XP, LDAP, and ACLs
Okay, I've got a decently sized network (well, very large, multiple locations, and a small number of users... 10-15, but multiple servers). I've got Win2k, XP Home, XP Pro accessing these servers. The servers are running a version of Samba3.0b1 I pulled from CVS a few days before the offical announcement. I'm seeing some really odd behaviour with it all. I honeslty think i'm looking at client side issues, but I need to explore all options. With Win2k, I have a user having issues with lock files not being reset, samba reports that the client stopped responding after it initiated the removal of the lock. With XP Home/Pro I'm seeing some weird Authentication issues. Mainly on XP Home, it suddenly decides that it needs to authenticate with the username Administrator instead of the user's actual user name. What worries me most is that these users are claiming to be connecting, and there is NOTHING in the logs unless I turn on full debugging output. I'm also seeing some weird behaviour with XP if the user's password is changed in LDAP, but i'm sure that is a client side issue with XP caching passwords. Also, on XP, I'm getting users reporting access denied attempting to write new files, even though the POSIX ACLs on the file system say they always should be able to write. With Win2k, The ACL interaction is perfect, I've had 0 problems with the ACLs and Win2k. I've also noticed some browse list issues with nautilus (whatever that file/web browser for gnome is that supports getting a browse list by doing smb://) I don't see all of the servers in the list, this may be because they are on different subnets, but they are all operating off the same wins servers and I don't even see one of the wins servers in nautilus or in windows *ugh*. nautilus never prompts for a login/password when trying to connect to the servers. Looking at the talking using etherreal shows it only tries to auth and the server disconnects them. This behaviour on the server's part could be part of my issues with my XP users as none of them use the same passwd for thier laptops. With LDAP, for some reason samba keeps 8+ connections at any given time with no users logged in. Any reason why this is?
