[Samba] Automatic Software Installs via Policies
Hi all, Are these still the best ways to automate software installs and updates via a Samba/LDAP Domain? http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=sambam=111598734205575w=2 Thanks, Paul. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Using NAS as PDC Shares?
Dear List, We have just bought: * Dual AMD CPU, 8TB NAS, 4GB RAM (DNUK.COM) - SUSE 9.3 * Two Dell 2850, 3GB RAM, Dual Xeon 3.2GHz, 300GB Raid 5 - Fedora Core 4 Now obviously we want to use the Storage ;-) How would you guys recommend we proceed? Samba PDC on one 2850, LDAP Directory on second, and somehow mount the storage for the shares? Or run the PDC on the NAS, and keep the LDAP Directory on a 2850? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh, its for about 20-30 users ;-) Many thanks, Paul. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

If you need anyone to test that equipment out, I don't think you'd find any shortage on this list. :-) Ha. Just to make you more jealous: we have 2 switches, a 24-Port Cisco 2970 and a 12-Port 3com SuperStack III 3812, both can be Fibre. 5KVA UPS. 8-Tape LTO2 Quantum Autoloader. All in a nice 42U Dell rack with a Rack-mount Keyboard and LCD Display. About £25k worth and just powered up today ;-) How would you guys recommend we proceed?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh, its for about 20-30 users ;-) Honestly, for that many users, PDC/LDAP performance probably will not matter much. It sounds as though transferring files will be your bottleneck, and even that will almost certainly be limited by your network, even if you are entirely gigabit based. It's all GB, with some Fibre if things get hairy. Depending on your hardware requirements, and how available those Dell machines are, my ideal recommendation would be to mirror the two Dell systems, and run something like Heartbeat http://www.linux-ha.org/ across the two. To use the storage from the AMD system on each of the Dell's, I'd mount the large file system via NFS on each of the Dell machines, with each of the Dells connected to the AMD system via private gigabit Ethernet (and by private, I mean on a switch dedicated to those 3 servers, basically). If that's not an option, I don't see any real reason why you couldn't just run the PDC on the AMD box, and LDAP on one of the Dell machines. Honestly, other than for reducing points of failure, that single AMD box could almost definitely do everything you want to do without issue. And regardless, I'd just love to be able to have that hardware. :-) Hope my $0.02 helps . . . Will stick it all on the NAS and leave the 2850s for Audio/Video encoding which is what they were bought for (but could be used), as I don't think they need to be that available. Thanks, Paul.

[Samba] Quotas when Linux System Quotas aren't available?
Dear list, We have inherited a server the isn't partitioned correctly to support quotas. Is it possible to use the Samba quotas instead, or is an offline re-partition the best way to go?

[Samba] Samba ACL and '+' on a 'ls - l'
Dear Guys, I have noticed that one of our domain users folder in /var/lib/samba/profiles has a '+' on the end of their username folder and all the files in their profile too. I know this is to do with ACL's and I know Samba can translate Windows ACL's to filesystem acls, but where can I find out where/how they are getting created and remove them. They should be know different then anyone else. Although, all the users are setup as Admins on their own computer, but noone else seems to be picking up or have a '+' sign on a 'ls -l' Thanks, Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Fwd: logon drive, ldap ssl = start_tls, ssh and client/server encryption (and logon.bat permission tip)

Is it ok, with roaming profiles on, to leave logon drive = empty, as this drive seems to be confusing users? 2.

Nowhere in Samba How-To or Samba-Guide did it say that the logon.bat (logon script, whatever you wish to name it) should be permission 744, i.e. chmod 744 could we add this? 5. Why do you need to ldap enable sshd via pam? This lets any domain user log into the server. I think this is a bad idea, unless you are providing shell access for some reason?

[Samba] My first LDAP PDC - Win2k Profiles, redirection and guest accounts
Dear List, This is my first post here, but yesterday I finally configured a full PDC with LDAP backend using Chapters 4 and 5 of the Samba Guide (exact same directory and shares setups just now). Very well written! I am slowly getting the other things like printing and DNS added, but I wanted to confirm/ask a few things. When I first logged on I got complaints about not being able to create the *.pds and using a local profile only, so I moved from the Samba Guide to the Samba Howtos and read that the profiles need to be browseable. So I su - to a user and checked I could even get into my profile folder in the server, and I couldn't. I couldn't even get into /var/lib/samba. I have changed /var/lib/samba to 755 and profiles to 755 too. Is this right? My profiles are now working, but I am not sure if I have opened up things that I shouldn't have. At no point in the Samba Guide does is say what the permissions should be for profiles, so I guess this is only a Win2k issue? Also, can you point me to some documentation on guest account logins for the domain, so they can get onto the computer with a default guest profile? I go have a look in the Howto Online book again first though. Also, how does redirection work on Win2k, as I could only see instructions for XP and it looks like all the folders etc. have been saved in profiles rather than profdata obviously. Lastly, my logon.bat which sets the time and maps the app folder to I doesn't work. I saw yesterday that I might needs scripts/logon.bat, but that doesn't work. I also made sure that it is in dos format using dos2unix (a perl oneliner actually).
