Basically when a process crashes on Unix from a segmentation fault (or for a couple of other reasons) the operating system can take a snapshot of the memory of the process and write it to a core file. Whether the OS will actually do this is controlled by things like the RLIMIT_CORE which can be set with ulimit -c and in the case of Linux by some stuff in /proc.

Re: [Samba] symbol Lookup Error
Sorry, I forgot to send this to the list. 2009/10/10 Rod Rook rod.r...@gmail.com: Hi, I've just installed Fedora 11 and samba (including common, client, server, config-system0samba). I am unable to start smbd with the following error. *[2009/10/09 22:16:45, 0] smbd/server.c:1065(main) smbd version 3.4.2-0.42.fc11 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2009 smbd: symbol lookup error: smbd: undefined symbol: _talloc_get_type_abort* What would cause this problem? It looks like it can't find one or more libraries. Try running: ldd /usr/sbin/smbd It should print out all the libraries it's looking for and will tell you which ones it can't find. This would either be because there is a package missing or because the libraries are not where the dynamic linker can find them (defined in /etc/ld.so.conf or similar). Were these rawhide packages or something? Maybe one of the packages hasn't defined the correct dependencies? I don't run Fedora, so I'm not sure what packages are available in Fedora 11 as opposed to from rawhide. I did find a list of samba packages, though, and it sounds like you have the following installed? libsmbclient-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-client-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-common-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 I see the other related packages are: libsmbclient-devel-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-debuginfo-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-doc-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-domainjoin-gui-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-swat-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-winbind-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 samba-winbind-devel-3.4.2-0.42.fc11 So if you are in fact missing some libraries, maybe you could try installing some of those to see if they contain the missing libraries. e.g. samba-winbind. -- Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

According to the documentation you can use either commas or spaces (or both) to separate them. I have a space between the IP address excerpts (I presume that's what you mean by the full stop), though I also have a comma. I'll remove the commas... By full stop I mean what Americans like to call a period :) i.e. a dot. In other words I just wanted to make sure you had something like: hosts allow 192.168.1., 192.168.2., 127. and NOT: hosts allow 192.168.1, 192.168.2, 127 although to be honest I don't know if Samba would accept the latter. What does your smb.conf look like? And what happens when you try to connect/print from the Windows machine? What errors to you get? Here is my current smb.conf file: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2009/10/03 00:37:16 # Global parameters [global] server string = Windows in Linux - VMware interfaces = eth0, vmnet1, vmnet8 I see you are restricting Samba to the above interfaces. Which interface is your Windows machine plugged into?

So this should also not be necessary. There are a LOT of comments in my original smb.conf file, but since I tried to modify a couple of things using SWAT, I see it removed the comments. Yes, unfortunately SWAT does not preserve the comments, but they just get in the way when you post your config to the list anyway. Much of what is in this file is what I had, years ago, when I had Windows 98 which I could access through VMware, which was running on my Linux system. (I want to do exactly what I did with that, be able to submit a print job or transfer a file either direction.) After I removed the comments in my hosts allow line, I typed service smb restart in my root window: [...] On the Windows computer, I clicked Start and then Network. I double-clicked OFFICE-WINDOWS. I double-clicked Add a Printer. Then an Add a printer came up near the top of my explorer, after Organize and Views. Clicking Add a printer, I choose Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer in the dialog box that comes up. (Add a local printer is the only other choice here.) Yes, Network printer is the correct option. It says Searching for available printers... After a delay, it says No printers were found. I click The printer that I want isn't listed and out of the three choices (Browse for a printer, Select a shared printer by name and Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname), I choose the second one, as the printer is connected to my Linux system with a parallel port, and it does not have an IP address. Well, actually the IP address in this case would have been the IP address of the Linux box. If the printer was plugged directly into the network then of course this would be the IP address

[...] I'm afraid I'm in an if it works, don't fix it mode... Just bear in mind that sometimes the problems you have when trying to set something new up could in part be caused by the old versions you are restricted to because you are running an old distribution. Of course upgrading is not guaranteed to fix your Samba problems and could cause other stuff to break :) By backport do you mean a more recent version of Samba that will work in FC4? Yes, that's exactly what he means. I do not know off hand where you'd find it, though. It sounds like you are using FC4 as a file print server. All you need to do on it is share the resources (folders and printers) and set up the permissions and accounts (if required). On the Windows, I did do some things along this line (setting up sharing) last week... He did not mean that you should create shares on the Windows machine, but that you just need to share your printer and e.g. your home directory on the Linux machine, as you have done. You don't mention which version of Vista you are using, and I don't know if they crippled certain versions like they did with XP to prevent them from joining domains. However, if you can join Vista to a domain, install and use SWAT to set up Samba as a domain controller and use it to log in from Vista. If I go to Control Panel and double click System, it says this: Windows edition.. Windows Vista Ultimate [...] I believe that's the version with the most features, so you should not run into any problems like not being able to join domains or whatever if that's what you wanted to do. Gary, I really appreciate your help. On terminology, how do I join Vista to a domain? I think you should probably try to keep things as simple as possible to start with.

I have looked at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=2556 and even read This fedoraforums thread is about connecting to Windows from the Linux machine. Based on what you say below it looks like you want the opposite, i.e. connect from the Windows machine to the Linux machine in order to print. something about making the network communication in Vista be LM as well as NTLM... You might want to add a bit more context for people who did not see or do not remember the rest of this thread. From what you say above, I assume that the Windows machine is on either 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x networks? Don't forget to use a full stop after them like: hosts allow 192.168.1. 192.168.2. or you could write it like: hosts allow 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 Okay, let me ask one basic question at a time. I was thinking that I didn't have to actually mount samba (smbmount) in the past, back years ago when I used it with VMWare and Windows 98. (I was thinking that the smdb/nmdb daemons just did what was needed.) I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but smbmount is for letting the Linux box mount (connect to) a Windows (or Samba) share on another machine. It seems that what you want is the other way around. i.e. to connect to Samba on the Linux machine from the Windows machine. I will be fine if I just am able to submit a print job from the Windows/Vista to the Linux HP9110 printer. I will be fine if I just transfer any files, either direction, by accessing my host filesystem via Explorer in Windows. (This is how I did it, years ago, with Windows 98 in VMWare.) I am thinking that I do NOT need to add to /etc/fstab, or smbmount anything from the Linux side. Do you agree? Yes, if you want to connect to Samba from the Windows machine then you do not have to do anything with /etc/fstab or smbmount. What does your smb.conf look like?

Re: [Samba] NTLM
Hi 2009/10/3 Eustáquio Rangel eustaquioran...@gmail.com: Hey there! Can you guys tell me about what's the status of docs of NTLM/NTLMv2 provided by Microsoft? Let me explain why I need that: we had here a discussion on a local college about free x proprietary software, and the Microsoft guy (always them, right?) told us about a case where he claimed that Firefox sent one user username and password through the network without encription. On the next day I asked the Microsoft guy for some reference about the case he talked about. He sent me this URL: http://blogs.technet.com/dbordini/archive/2008/09/03/browser-navega-o-e-seguran-a-estudo-de-caso.aspx I translated it with Google and seems that make some sense: http://translate.google.com.br/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblogs.technet.com%2Fdbordini%2Farchive%2F2008%2F09%2F03%2Fbrowser-navega-o-e-seguran-a-estudo-de-caso.aspxsl=pttl=enhl=pt-BRie=UTF-8 I am no expert in NTLM vs. NTLMv2, but NTLM does NOT mean clear-text username and password. The passwords are still hashed (not sure about the username). My understanding is that it is not as secure as NTLMv2, but is still much better than LM and much better still than clear-text. So it seems either there was a misunderstanding between you and the Microsoft guy, or he misunderstood the article or he was exaggerating. By the way, I am not sure about earlier versions of Firefox, but at least 3.0.14 has network.ntlm.send-lm-response set to false by default. i.e. it will not send the LM hash in response to an NTLM challenge. See here for details: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries#Network. See also the following URL which seems relevant: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Integrated_Authentication Trying to resume all the whole stuff, he's complaining that Firefox automatically decreased the safety level to NTLM (not using NTLMv2), when used with Windows Vista, without warning the user about that, sending the username and password as plain text, and for that reason Firefox is junk, not IE (oh,boy), who worked on the expected way. I'll write a post on my blog (http://eustaquiorangel.com, it's Portuguese but I'm wondering on this case would not be a good idea to make an English version also) about all this and we'll continue the discussion on the college on the next, but first I'd like to ask you about that. Seems you Samba guys made some reverse engineering over time to deal with NTLM and after some years Microsoft released some docs, but I don't know it they are with enough quality to use and if you are still making reverse engineering and perhaps living with some patent risk, as I could not find information enough about the copyright of this protocol, which is the first point I'm planning to talk about on the discussion.

These are installed (version 1.11) in /usr/local so I tried re-running configure with the option --with-libiconv=/usr/local. However, this also fails as conftest now will not compile. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. 3.4.1 was just announced earlier today. One of the things it lists as changed from 3.4.0 is: * Fix linking on Solaris. Although that doesn't sound like the problem you're running into (I don't think) it might be a good idea to try 3.4.1 anyway.

When that's working it should be possible to make the necessary changes to the scripts. Try increasing the debugging when you start smbd and nmbd and checking the logs to see if there are error messages. Maybe you will not need two instances of nmbd, but maybe someone else can comment. -- Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Copyright in fact it work fine. No complain from smbd I'm glad you have it working, but that line is wrong anyway :) test -x /usr/sbin/smbd means: Is the file called /usr/sbin/smbd executable? It does not run /usr/sbin/smbd. It just looks at the file to see if it is executable. test -x `/usr/sbin/smbd -D -s $CONFIG_FILE` means: Run /usr/sbin/smbd with parameters -D -s $CONFIG_FILE and get the output. (The output could be something like smbd version 3.4.0-GIT-a3e9b62-devel started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2009 or it could be nothing.) If the output was smbd version... then the test line will expand to: test -x smbd version... and you will get an error about too many arguments. If the output was blank, then the test line will expand to: test -x I'm not sure why, but that does not complain and also returns success, so in your case I suspect this is what's happening. But despite test not complaining or failing, that line still starts smbd and nmbd when it isn't supposed to! They are supposed to be started further down in the script. That line is only to see if they are executable. I hope my explanation is clear. -- Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] Password policy under Samba 4?
2009/9/1 Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com: How does one set a password policy using Samba 4? I've set up Samba 4 as a domain controller with one Windows 2003 server joined to the domain. I've seen mention of the check password script option, but I think that's not available in Samba 4, right? I've also seen mention of Group Policies, but I am not sure if this is correct or not because I haven't been able to find anything in the Group Policy management tool on Windows that seems applicable. Basically I just want to know where to set the user must change password after 30 days and password must be at least X characters long settings and have these apply to users logging into the Windows machine. I'd appreciate it if someone could point me at the relevant documentation. I've now found dompol.msc on a Windows 2003 Server AD domain controller. This seems to be what I'm looking for, but if I try running dompol.msc on a Windows 2003 Server joined to the Samba 4 domain as a member server I get an error saying: Failed to open the Group Policy Object. You may not have appropriate rights. Details: The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. This is while logged in to the Windows machine as administra...@example.org (where example.org is the domain I'm using for testing.) Also, dsa.msc works fine for adding users/groups etc. I'm running samba with -d100 and nothing appears to be logged when I start dompol.msc. I can start dompol.msc, acknowledge the error and close it down again without anything at all being added to the log. Group Policy Management shows a Default Domain Policy and I can create a new test policy object, but dompol.msc still gives the same error with no evidence of having contacted Samba at all. Even tcpdump on the Samba box and wireshark on the Windows box show nothing happening when I start, acknowledge and stop dompol.msc. Any ideas?

Re: [Samba] Samba wants chdir

That's a DOS command, no Linux command. There is a Unix system call called chdir(). I suspect that this is what smbd is referring to. /home/adm exists, it's a Samba share. What user is smbd running as? (ps aux | grep smbd) Who owns /home/adm and what are the permissions? -- Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Re: [Samba] How are tickets used by Samba in an Active Directory environment?
Hi 2009/8/29 Jose Perez jvoorhe...@gmail.com: Hi there: I'm just setting up a Samba as member of an Active Directory Domain. I [...] I was searching at Google about Samba, Kerberos, Active Directory and tickets purporse but I didn't find a good explanation. I'd just like to know if I just configure some Kerberos params at the Active Directory Server, or maybe configure a cron to renew tickets or maybe if I just should run kinit once and then forget about Kerberos forever. I *think* that you run kinit only to test that Kerberos is working properly and that the kinit command you run has nothing to do with Samba. My Kerberos knowledge is a little lacking, but I think the Wikipedia article has a nice description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_%28protocol%29 Where it refers to Service Server or SS you should read it as Samba. Could someone point me to a link where some good explanation about these components if available? Because I'm about to release a server in production and I want to be careful. -- Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] ldap? Samba? Nss?
2009/8/27 sgm...@mail.bloomfield.k12.mo.us: [...] Yes. I hope it is all setup correctly. It is working it seems. It seems that it really got slow in the last couple of days. I have added some users to LDAP, but not that many. There are proabably a total of 1000 users and not near all of them would log on at once. Maybe a couple of hundred at the very most and more like 75-100. [...] Perhaps you need to tweak the LDAP indexes? Your LDAP logs should tell you what is being accessed without an index. You can also get the LDAP server to log the queries and try them yourself using ldapsearch to see if they are slow. -- Michael Wood esiot...@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Why don't you just set up an NTP server on your Samba server and then point all the WinXP boxes at it. I think it's under Time in the control panel, or if you right-click on the time in the system tray. By default it syncs off time.windows.com or something like that. I am not a Windows person, so I don't know if you can do this via group policies or whatever.
