[Samba] Moving Samba-3.x Servers to different hardware.
Hi all, I have tried today to move a Samba 3.0.10 PDC from it's old hardware and OS (RH9) to it's new hardware and OS (Centos 3.4 - RH Enterprise3). I copied the files from the old server (password files and such) to the new server in the relevant directories. I also copied secrets.tdb and all the other .tdb files that samba uses from /var/cache/samba or /var/lib/samba. I start up the new samba (after giving it the same domain name as the old server) and attempt to logon to the new server from an already-joined PC (which was joined to the old server). It won't let me login or anything at all - complains that the username/password are incorrect or that the domain isn't found. Rather than ask if I've missed anything (which could be any number of things) - does anyone out there have a good list of steps to follow to successfully move one Samba 3.x server to different hardware? At least then I could follow the list and then report back with what I've found - be it good or bad. I have checked the Samba mailing lists and can't see anything that I'm doing wrong - I even did 'net getlocalsid DOMAIN' on the old server and did 'net setlocalsid SID' on the new domain - so I'm not sure quite what's going on. The IP and Hostname are DIFFERENT for the new server as the old server is still required up until we swap the hardware over - the reason I'm doing this now is that I needed to ensure it would work straight off without having to rejoin any PCs to the domain. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts could you please E-Mail them to me (as well as reply to the newsgroup) as I cannot get news of any kind at my workplace but I can get E-Mail - unfortunately I have no VPN to try this with, here at home.

Re: [Samba] Deleting of Desktop Icons
We had this issue also, you need to ensure 3 things : 1) Ensure that the time is being set (as Nigel suggested). 2) Ensure that the C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS area of the client PC is not filled up with many profiles - e.g. USERNAME USERNAME.000 USERNAME.001 etc... 3) As I don't know what kind of desktop-security you use, I'm not sure how relevant this next part is. If you are using POLEDIT to control 'Start Menu' or 'Desktop' locations (such as redirection), make sure they are NOT set. With NT/2K/XP, Samba's 'logon-home', 'logon-drive', 'logon-path' values are picked up and used correctly, the only time you would need to specify a user start menu or desktop is with Win98 clients. E.g. logon-path = \\%N\%U\profile logon-home = \\%N\%U logon-drive = H: Provided your profiles exist under \\SERVERNAME\USERNAME\profile (and have sufficient permissions), this should sort out your problem, I hope. If you are using poledit or gpedit with folder redirection, make sure the policy for start menu/desktop is NOT CONFIGURED, not set or unset, otherwise if you set it, it doesn't update profiles properly. If you unset it, you get the same thing. Not configured basically makes it use the samba-supplied values. Hope this helps. This could be a time sync problem. Are the domain machines syncing time from the same source and correctly ? I have the same issue as well, on XP and 2k. sometimes it actually deletes icons and folders, but most often they are recreated after a login. It might be an issue with roaming profiles from the samba side, I never managed to find an answer. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Samba3 Trust Relationships?
Hey all, After setting up a migration server (a server which will act as a test for a Samba 3.x environment), so we can make sure our migration from Samba 2.2.x to 3.x goes as smoothly as possible, I've hit upon a problem, now I am not sure whether this is the fault of Samba (my configuration) or NT4 or whether this is infact designed behaviour for both/either servers. I'd like to overcome the problem if it's possible but I am not sure how. Systems : 1x NT4 PDC (NTDOM) 2x W2K Workstations - SP4 - no additional patches. 1x Samba3 PDC (SMBDOM) - Running RH9 (samba-3.0.2a) I have set up a one-way trust between NTDOM and SMBDOM so that users on NTDOM joined PC's can connect and login to both networks, but those connected to SMBDOM can only login to SMBDOM domain, not both domains as NTDOM connected PC's can do. The problem itself (if you can call it a problem) is this : I have a selection of users on both PDCs. The user I am testing with this is called 'keith', he exists on both PDCs but has different passwords. Is a Domain User on both PDCs, has permissions to both his profile share and home-directory share on both PDCs. On the UNIX side, he is a member of UNIX group 'users' which maps to 'Domain Users'. On NT, he is a member of Domain Users. If I login to NTDOM as keith and then perform a NET USE to a share on SMBDOM, it asks me for the password for access to the resource. This is the problem, I, and my colleagues were under the impression that a trust relationship would allow a user on NTDOM to access resources on SMBDOM regardless of their account status on SMBDOM. The NET USE command is done like so : NET USE X: \\SAMBA3\WORK (Keith's Home Dir on SMBDOM). It asks for the password for this. I have a feeling this is designed behaviour but I am unsure what to do to PREVENT it asking for the password. Security on shares isn't really a problem as no-one can access anothers' home directory or profile directory, only those in UNIX group 'domadm' which maps to Domain Admins have access to any profile or home directory. Most other shares on the server are public, you must be a member of group 'users' or 'staff' to access them. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions or can help in any way I'd be most appreciative.

Hawkes What we do in life echoes in eternity. - Anon You look back upon choices you've made, you wonder 'what if' and wonder if you should have done it differently... but then you'd not be you anymore, you'd be someone else, asking the same set of questions. - Anon -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Samba 3 and LDAP
Hey all, I hope you all had a pleasent holiday season (okay so I'm a week or so late... I've been in hibernation g). Now, does anyone out there know where I can get documentation on running Samba 3 as a PDC using LDAP as a backend - I know I'll get plenty of URLs, so to narrow things down a little, I'm competant with Samba 2.2.x and have no clue about LDAP, yet we're looking at going LDAP so we can make our PDC (and stand-alone servers) all use the same set of passwords (as we operate a reasonably large site with about 1600 users and 400 PC's). Currently we're using rsync to sync password files but this isn't an ideal solution as we need passwords that sync using a central database (so a single password change ANYWHERE on site takes effect). So - anyone know of any good websites that detail that kind of setup? I have a few already and I've configured LDAP (or so I thought) and I can't connect to it - it keeps saying 'incorrect credentials' - despite my passwords being set correctly. For those of you on RH9 - when you installed the OpenLDAP kit, does it use plaintext passwords or encrypted by default? I guess I'm out of my depth here but I decided to give it a go anyway - any good suggestions or places to start (assuming that I have a test system I can install everything from total scratch on)?

[Samba] Apologies for off-topic
I apologise for the fact that this has nothing to do with Samba, but it does have something to do with *NIX system admin. Can any of you recommend a good POP3 daemon/server? I am currently using Sendmail for SMTP and am wanting a POP3 server to work alongside it. If of course you know of something that I can install to replace sendmail AND give me POP3 then that'd be even better. Target system is Mandrake 9.0.

[Samba] Samba 3.0 Problems
Hey all, I installed Samba 3.0 RPM onto our RH 9.0 system (a test system), it took me a long time to configure this one up as I wanted to learn how it does what it does and why, so when we deploy it as our main PDC (once S3 becomes final), we can be aware of any issues or bugs ahead of time. Anyhow, I have come across a few problems with it, whether these are known issues already or not I am not sure, but I'm letting you on the list know about them in any event. 1 - I cannot seem to copy ANY files of ANY size from ANY Samba share to any other location, be that, share to share, share to hard disk etc... it says the network name is no longer available. If I try to copy again, it does complete the copy the second time around. I have not looked at oplocks or anything and have left those settings at their defaults, the permissions on the share are that ANYONE can write to it, it doesn't discriminate. This was confirmed on Win2K-SP3, Win2K-Adv. Server and Win2K3 Server. It has not been tried from any Windows 98/NT machines. 2 - I have configured poledit so that users in the 'Domain Admins' group are allowed to access command prompt/regedit etc... the group mapping has been confirmed as correct as the Admin Desktop has a link that just says 'Admin', staff has just 'Staff' and users have just 'Users'. This problem spawned several others, which may or may not be related below. If I login as staff/user, all restrictions appear to be in place that should be, if I login as an admin (a user who is member of UNIX group 'domadm' which is mapped to NT group 'Domain Admins' and 'Administrators') it says it has the admin start menu and desktop, yet it's restricted down. I have double and triple checked my policies to make sure that nothing got in there untoward, but it all looks clean. The purpose of the 'Domain Admins' policy object (same with Staff and Domain Users) is so we do not need seperate policy objects and that ALL admins have the same policies set. (This is primarily to test that group mappings and such, work how we'd like them to) 3 - Sometimes, when you login, it complains about not being able to create directory '\\server\username.pds' on the server, now I've done some reading on this and did fixes that seem to work. But every now and again it seems to sneak back in, particularly with users who do NOT have their own policy object and thus, must use a group-mapped policy (such as 'Staff' etc...). 4 - There appears to be a problem when you try to login as root or ANYONE who is a member of the 'root' group, it says 'a device attached to the system is not functioning'. I'm not sure whether this is by design or what, but it's not documented. The NT Admin user 'ntadmin' who is NOT a member of the 'root' group can login, yet users like 'administrator' who are in 'root' group (among others) cannot login and get this message. I regret I can't give you copies of my smb.conf etc... as these are at work and I'm currently at home. But if this helps, I'm using the 'smbpasswd' backend, using the Samba 3.0 RPM downloaded from the UK mirrors' service for RedHat 9.0. I apologise if this has already been brought up before and I apologise that I can't give you much more information than is outlined above. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, we'd be only too grateful to try anything and get back to you. (Anything you'd like tried etc... will have to wait until Monday now I'm afraid) Apart from my problems though, I'd like to say I'm impressed with the way Samba 3.0 gets around many of our 'poledit' problems and that we can possibly actually use an LDAP backend to have a single password server for the entire site and have distributed PDCs who all have access to a master list of passwords/usernames/security setups etc...

Re: [Samba] gpedit.msc as centralized policy for 2k/xp clients
You sound like you are having the same problem we did at our site. The key is to get Win2K SP3, get the POLEDIT.EXE file out of it. Search local hard disks for .ADM files, load these into POLEDIT. This will give you most of GPEDIT's functionality but inside POLEDIT, it may be an idea to convert the .ADMs to standard TEXT, NOT Unicode just for completeness. Hope this helps. K.

I believe the user side is not applied till login anyway? regards, Richard Coates. LGPOs are applied at logon, at least the user-specific part. The machine-specific part comes to effect after rebooting the system.

In the document you mentioned http://charon.minilab.bdeb.qc.ca/anonym/nt/2000/ads/TTGW2KGP_Vol1through4.pd f The answer to question 6.2 says the scripting possibilities are limited so logon scripts probably won't work. This GPO stuff is very powerful and interesting in terms of user and machine restrictions but MUCH more complicated compared to the NT4 policy scheme (sigh). I don't have time to investigate any further on this right now, sorry. After applying LGPOs the users profile folders contain the following files: -- ... NTUSER.DAT ... ntuser.dat.LOG ntuser.ini ntuser.pol -- May be it's possible to set up LGPOs on one computer and copy ntuser.pol (GPO settings) and ntuser.ini (profile Exclusion List) to users profile folders on other machines?

[Samba] Windows 2K/XP Profile/Homedir replication issue?
Hey there, Just a question for you Samba 2.2.x gurus out there :) We have a contingent (a steadily increasing contingent) of Win2K and WinXP workstations. Does anyone here know how to stop the profiles from replicating? If we create a file in the profile dir, say \\PDC\UserHome\profile.doc. It will replicate that to the profile directory, while one file or two files are not a problem, we use classroom based logins, so they all login at once and it's transferring the whole \\PDC\UserHome dir around everywhere it goes, it does it when you login and logout, so if everyone saves work there, as you can imagine, login/logout times take a long long time. Anyone got a work-around for this or is it just us who are having this problem? Cheers, Mr. K.

[Samba] Samba PDC + 2K/XP
Hey, I am just wondering how you enforce security (such as permissions) on local workstations while running Samba 2.2.x as a PDC with 2K/XP workstations? As some of us don't have or want 2000 Server to enforce things like policies etc... how do you all do it. E.g. If we want 'Administrator' to have access to all start menu etc... yet standard users to have only programs, no settings access etc. We are currently using POLEDIT (on an NT Server) and GPEDIT.MSC on the local workstations, this is, if you have ever used, is not that great for centralised Administration, nor is it easy to maintain with a Network of over 300+ workstations, most of which are Win98, however we are starting to get more Win2K/WinXP clients, so a centralised solution would be great. I apologise for the fact this is not directly about Samba, but if anyone could throw me some information or links on solutions for this sort of management solution, I'd be most grateful.

[Samba] WinXP Pro, Profiles and Home Dirs
Hey, I'm sorry if this has been asked before or if a solution is in the archive, this is rather a semi-urgent request. We have a PDC (Samba 2.2.5) mostly with Win98 clients, a few XP clients. We can join these to the domain thanks to the registry patch, however, sometimes (it's random, or appears to be), we login a user who HASN'T previously logged into the XP system before and it deletes their home directory (as it's set the same as their profile directory). The only things left are the profiles and any subdirs that happen to be laying around. Any files in the root of the homedir are deleted. We can't find why this happens. Another thing which may or may not be XP+Samba related, sometimes it renders other samba users inaccessible, as in they cannot login, whether it's from XP clients or 98 clients. It's almost like it's disabled the account, but we re-enable it and it does not fix it. Only way to fix is to DELETE the samba account and recreate it. The XP clients are NOT SP1, have no patches except the XP domain-login patch. Any thoughts on above? Also what is a good setup for XP roaming profiles so they DO NOT conflict or overwrite Win98 profiles? As an afterthought, would Samba 2.2.6 correct any of this or is it just us?

[Samba] Samba 2.2.3a and Windows XP Pro
We've now got a Windows XP machine we'd like to add to our domain. Simple enough, I add it to the domain, it says 'Welcome to the TEST Domain'. I apply the registry patch in the samba 2.2.3a archive and reboot. When it comes to login, I type in a valid user 'Administrator' in this case and select the domain of TEST. It says it can't connect to the server or find the domain or something like that. User Administrator works on a Win98SE machine, has an account on the domain etc. All IP addresses and Netbios names are setup also. So I'm wondering what the problem is. Should I have put the registry patch FIRST and THEN join to domain? Any ideas?

[Samba] More than 1 Samba Server on 1 workstation?
Hey everyone, I hope your days are going well. I've got a question which has no doubt been answered before but I feel the need to ask it anyway. Where I work we have a spare server which is running Mandrake 7.2, I've been left to my own devices on this server by my boss in an effort to help me learn more about how our school's network works without releasing me on our live Samba Network. I managed to configure Samba 2.2.3a and it runs great, I created my own .conf from scratch using the 'Using Samba' documentation in SWAT and various other documents. This may not seem like much but I've learnt alot from it. This machine has an IP of 10.16.0.250, on this IP it runs Samba 2.2.3a SMBD/NMBD and SWAT. What I was wondering is, can I install Samba 3.0 alpha 17 on the same machine? Obviously giving Samba 3.x different paths for it's binaries and such, it's own config file etc... I tried to run it's SMBD/NMBD along side the other version, the NMBD ran fine yet the SMBD failed with the error of it can't bind to port 139 which is the NETBIOS port. My boss was under the impression you could run 2 SMBD's sharing the port and depending on what you typed in the DOMAIN box, it would direct the output to the relevant daemon. However I've come to believe the Samba 3.x system would want it's own IP. The straight up question is, can I run 2 versions of Samba along side each other? If I can, how can I accomplish this? If not, the way I thought of doing it would be to stop the 2.2.3a one loading on boot, disabling SWAT/SMBD/NMBD through linuxconf. Then just load the 'smbd/nmbd/swat' set that I wanted to look at. I've looked at 3.x's changelog, it doesn't mean an awful lot to me I must admit. Could anyone out there be good enough to tell me the MAIN differences (in terms of features) that 3.x has over 2.2.3a? We run Samba 2.0.7 on our main systems, Mandrake 8.1. I assume that 2.2.3a has plenty of fixes that make it well worth upgrading from 2.0.7? Thanking you all for your time and patience :) Kris May darkness be your only ally, for in the shadows you can hide - Kris 1998-2002 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use http://www.pgp.com iQEVAwUBPHjfdSBHjRAjzresAQHZpgf/ZKpt2Nl+8EmIJwT/rLFtx8yhFFKdqVk6 pQGsgeOGN1ZI5kSOU6FBeWkyVS3YKLV6UHhvHVm1MQuBwPyfnjhQGj+OuI9jQPoc qTFb0TRQivOQoOeJq1PfIFcl53RrvRUOFAl8+jdKqZo/IFARdllknkCMTZirvp5l M+7/4a/ua2rx8d46zab1RF5YYNHRjyJRXD913FHty5VXCX31DJ55nAho30lOKOPC TNT+zzO1UC/J+keWSjxSSV3wPeOiOgtUtI5FiuXJmv1IXzsxjogGCTd0HUJ/04mR H623bEhl8M8yF/x6seCNKpHDkDQjoL+ddlQGVezdgbg3z7Jd7Y6VKA== =/whC -END PGP SIGNATURE- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free by AVG 6.
