Re: [Samba] Samba PDC kills WinXP
I think that with duplicate parameter entries the last one found takes precedence. A testparm shold confirm this. Thank You for the insight. Just read in Using Samba that the last mentioning of a parameter/value pair is valid. So, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] samba v2.2.3a - w2k-Users CAN change password, how to disable ?
Dear List, dear Samba-Users, I've been assigned to service an old samba server (v2.2.3a) with smbpasswd-backend and some hundred w2k-PDC-users. Now I stumbled over a small problem: If windows-users change their passwords via the ctrl-alt-del-dialogue they are prompted an error that the domain is not available but the password is changed nonetheless. The only solution I came across is to disable the button with the help of policies to the user profile. Do You know of this error and have another solution for my problem? Thanks in advance, Martin Petersen (Please excuse my poor grammar, reading English tech books doesn't teach the last skills :)) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Hi Daniel, to join a domain you need to create a machine account first. if you use samba with no special backend (e.g. ldap) you need to create a linux system account AND a samba account for the machine you want to bring in. please search for machine account and samba on google and in a couple of minutes you sould be up and running ciao, Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Locking problems on a Windows server with samba OSX clients

Re: [Samba] The Next Guide Will Be...
Hi Dustin, Dortch, Dustin wrote: The Next Guide Will Be... August 3rd, 2005 The next guide on Sambadmin will about creating a great LDAP infrastructure. I have been disappointed that I have only received two comments about what the next guide should be, especially since the site has had over 500 visitors in the past two days. I was one of these :). I am looking forward to see Your site growing. I came to this decision after reading my posts. I stated that the core motivation behind all of this is LDAP. Sure, Samba IS great, but we can have file/print sharing on a Windows server. What really takes the cake is to have tightly integrated services, and this is made possible by LDAP. So, if you have any comments you would like to make about what a completely integrated directory solution should include, do not hesitate to comment. Here is what I will list, for starters. http://www.sambadmin.com/sambadmin/?postid=8 One of LDAPs main problems for N00bs is to understand the setup procedures. Maybe You could break the first steps down to a level that even I could understand :). I think everybody would like to have seperated the system users and the samba (domain) users with LDAP or MySQL as backend. As John wrote, don't be disappointed. Your are doing great.

Re: [Samba] Samba PDC problem
Hi Nicola, with WinNT, Win2k or WinXP I need to change some permissions. Start on the client machines the Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc) and try to find the switch Don't check for permissions on profile. I'am sorry but I don't own a Win32 machine right now. Your problem is that the Windows internal permission check fails on the Samba PDC profile. Hope I could help.

Re: [Samba] Samba PDC problem
Hi Nicola (again :), found what You were looking for: Some information I found in the Unofficial Samba HowTo (http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html) on XP Pro clients. Extract from there follows: ## EXTRACT ## Windows XP Clients To force Windows XP Professional clients to accept Samba as a PDC, use the built-in XP Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc) and locate the Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options branch. Make sure to disable the following policies: Domain Member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always) Domain Member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible) Alternately, you can make the following change to the registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters] requiresignorseal=dword: signsecurechannel=dword: To disable annoying Event Viewer notifications about Automatic ertificate enrollment for local system failed to contact the active directory every eight hours, locate the Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Public Key Policies branch and select Do not enroll certificates automatically under Autoenrollment Settings. Note that this policy won't be available until after the XP machine has joined the domain. If you'd like to use Roaming Profiles with Windows XP clients that have Service Pack 1 or later installed, use the built-in XP Group Policy editor (gpedit.msc) and locate the Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles branch. This is described in Microsoft's Technet Q327462. Make sure to enable the following policy: Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders Alternately, you can make the following change to the registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] CompatibleRUPSecurity=dword:0001 Alternately as well, you can make the following addition to your smb.conf file: [profile] profile acls = yes Windows XP Home Edition does not support logging into a Primary Domain Controller, so you'll have to use Windows XP Professional instead. ## END EXTRACT ## Ciao, Martin -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
