[Samba] Samba upgrade questions - resent *with* subject...
Hello, Samba user folks :) I have a few very likely newbie questions: 1. I installed Samba 2.2.6 from sources and I don't seem to have smbclient or nmblookup. Did I goof somewhere and forget something that would have included them? 2. I am curious about upgrading samba via CVS - I've looked at the instructions and it seems pretty straightforward. Is there anything to watch out for as far as updating Samba files while the smbd is running? 3. Windows has this nasty (okay, it's actually a decent thing - if you could turn it off...) where it creates a brand new profile if you join a new domain - even if that new domain has the exact same name. Will upgrading the Samba files trigger this behavior? I'm thinking not, but after the havoc this caused after the switch from NT to Linux - along with the unexpected gift of Win2K autmatically creating roaming profiles (which it had never done before when connecting to a new Windows domain), I am, I believe, rightly paranoid about all this.

RE: [Samba] NT Administrator account changes permissions when logging onto samba server
It wasn't, but I put it in. As a local account it works just like the administrator account should. When I log into the network, I lose the local permissions - ie, I can't run programs that require administrator rights.

When I log in locally as the Administrator, it works as expected - I *am* the administrator for the machine. When I log into the domain as Administrator, it works as expected - I log in as root. But do you have admin rights on the local machine? Ie, can you add users etc.? I have admin rights on the local machine when I am NOT logged into the domain. I do NOT have admin rights when I AM logged into the domain. The prolem comes when I try to do anything on the local machine as Administrator (logged into the Samba server). The problem is that any NT permissions that I've put onto the Administrator account are not there when I'm logged in on the domain. When I go back to logging in locally, permissions are all fine. You must apply permissions/rights/group memberships to the domain account you are going to use, when logged in with an account with local admin rights (local Administrator or Domain Admin). I *did* apply the correct permissions to the local account (root, administrator both) and they are applied correctly when I log in locally. When I log into the domain, the permissions are gone and when I try to chane the permissions I get an error - Incorrect Function. What I'm trying to do is to run Veritas' BackupExec on an NT server and be able to backup files on the linux box (main server). When I try to run the front end I get a permissions error - that the account must be an administrator or a backup operator. When ou are running it as which user? Any account that was given administrator priveleges locally - administrator, root I go into the Administrator account (local) and set the backup account to Administrator *and* backup operator. Log back in. Locally, it's fine. Log into the domain - those permissions are not set, so I cannot run the backup program. Local backup account? Sorry - :) I go into the Administrator account and give the account I want to use to do backups with both administrator *and* backup operator rights. Could you post your smb.conf (or mail it to me privately), and if you are using something like 'username map = /etc/samba/smbusers', please include the username map file (/etc/samba/smbusers). I suspect that you haven't got root included in your 'domain admin group'. # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/10/28 14:19:07 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = QUANTEC2 netbios name = QSERVER server string = Quantec Server running Samba Server %v encrypt passwords = Yes username map = /var/lib/samba/maps/user.map unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 deadtime = 15 socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=4096 SO_SNDBUF=4096 printcap name = lpstat domain admin group = root add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u logon drive = Z: logon home = \\%N\homes\%u domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = True domain master = True wins support = Yes winbind uid = 1-2 winbind gid = 1-2 winbind cache time = 30 winbind use default domain = Yes hosts allow = 127. 10. printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/ read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers. browseable = No [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/printers write list = @adm root [pdf-generator] comment = PDF Generator (only valid users) path = /var/tmp printable = Yes print command = /usr/share/samba/scripts/print-pdf %s ~%u %L%u %m %I [public] comment = Public space with read-write access path = /mnt/common/home/local/samba-public read only = No [Common files
[Samba] NT Administrator account changes permissions when logging onto samba server
Hello, all I have a problem with my administrator accounts on WinNT with Samba. When I log in locally as the Administrator, it works as expected - I *am* the administrator for the machine. When I log into the domain as Administrator, it works as expected - I log in as root. The prolem comes when I try to do anything on the local machine as Administrator (logged into the Samba server). The problem is that any NT permissions that I've put onto the Administrator account are not there when I'm logged in on the domain. When I go back to logging in locally, permissions are all fine.

I go into the Administrator account (local) and set the backup account to Administrator *and* backup operator. Log back in. Locally, it's fine. Log into the domain - those permissions are not set, so I cannot run the backup program. This issue seems to be the same for each account, so I'm guessing that I missed something in the config. I looked, but couldn't figure it out.

RE: [Samba] Re: How Samba let us down
Well, then you can hear about this one... I was shocked that I received a telephone call from one of the Samba developers within a couple of hours of having posted to the forum about recycle bin capabilities. He walked me through setting it up and it appears to be working. He threw in some free tidbits that I, as a (admittedly very) new user, needed to know. The call was on his time and his dime. I cannot express my gratitude in words - I'm *still* in shock :) Thank you, John. /===\ | Michael Luevane +| | System Administrator + mikel @ quantec llc . com| | Quantec, LLC + www.quantecllc.com | | 503-228-2992 +| \===/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:samba-admin;lists.samba.org]On Behalf Of John H Terpstra Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 4:39 PM To: Philip Burrow Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] Re: How Samba let us down On Wed, 23 Oct 2002, Philip Burrow wrote: Philip, Those of us who work on Samba do so with great passion. We do our best to be realistic about the nature of what we are offering our users. We know there are bugs in samba and do our best to avoid shipping anything that is broken. Some of the Samba-Team do NOT get paid to work on Samba, yet at our own expense we help our users out of their dilemas. Many of us regularly call samba users, no matter where they may be in the world. Often that is the only way we can put out someone's burning fire. We are not able to enforce such people to report back to the list what the solution was, and we often do not have the time to do this either. So we make someone happy and no-one gets to hear about it. That's life. It is true that not every soul finds relief from the samba mailing list. But then again we do document, on the samba web site as well as in the samba documentation, the names of individuals and commercial companies that can be contacted for samba support. These will gladly help a really stuck user - for a fee. I guess that is no shame, is it? After all I guess you too like to get paid for the work you do. If nothing else, some people may be better informed today about the tremendous effort that goes on behind the scenes, and they will certainly see that we care. If you think that the answer rate is so low as to be ridiculous, than I assure you is not the case. But do remember that answering requests is VERY time consuming, and is voluntary. - John T.
