[Samba] Samba 3 as pdc : Roaming profile cannot be created.... win2k workstation
I have Samba 3 running on gentoo as a pdc. I read in someone's forum posting to try enabling acls and that didn't seem to do much good. I can get the computers to be added to the domain using their smb username/passwords and when they login, the correct shares corresponding to their users map perfectly; however, my biggest problem is when they do login it says the following: Windows cannot locate your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be propagated to the server. DETAIL - The specified user does not exist. Afterwards, it says it will create a temporary profile which won't be saved. My guess is that the user is having trouble writing the profile settings on the local computer. Has anyone come across this problem before? thanks in advance, Phill -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Windows 2000/xp logon says cannot create profile
I'm running samba-3 on gentoo using samba as a pdc to manage users to designated shares and home directories. I have managed to create users/passwords which create the shared drives using a batch file. However, when I do login with the user, it says it can't create a profile and forces the the creation of a temporary profile which is deleted when the user logs out. Is there a way to fix this using pdbedit so that the profile is stored in the profiles folder in samba-3? thanks in advance -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] trouble configuring samba 3 as a pdc
Hi, I recently configured smb.conf file using tdbsam as a passdb backend and tried to add computers to the domain TMSwater with little success. The workstation I'm trying to add to the domain is a windows xp professional laptop. When I attempt to add the laptop by going thru 'My Computer - Properties - Computer Name tab, it says network path not found. I can ping the server from the winxp prof laptop by both ip and netBIOS name however I can't see the shares. I found a tutorial for an older version of samba which says you have to add the machine as a 'user' on the server hosing samba with the following commands. #useradd -s /bin/false -d /nonexistent -c Trust Account workstationname\$ #smbpasswd -a -m workstsationname I tried this, then went back to the winxp prof workstation and attempted to join the box to the domain whereas it said it failed. Every so often, it will ask for me to enter a username and password. I don't know if this is asking for a local account username/pass or a samba username/pass? If it is a samba username/pass, how do I go about resetting the username/pass samba accounts if I need to? thanks in advance Phill -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] adding users and permissions to designated shared folders and home directories?
After successfully installing and configuring samba 3 on a test server and adding the root and the machine to the /etc/passwd file, how do I go about adding users such that when they login, they have access to certain shared home directories on the linux box? For instance, if I have the users bill and earl, how do I add those users such that bill has access to both /home/WATER and /home/Accounting shares and earl only has access to the shared folder /home/Accounting? I would also like each user to have their own home directories as detailed in the smb.conf file below. By just using 'smbpasswd newuser' doesn't work because I'm using tdbsam. Any suggestions? thanks in advance [global] workgroup = MYWATER netbios name = MYserver01 passdb backend = tdbsam os level = 33 preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon drive = H: logon script = logon.cmd logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes admin users = root write list = ntadmin [profiles] comment = Roaming Profile Share path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no [Misc] path = /home/Misc read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [WATER] path = /home/WATER valid users = @water read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [Accounting] path = /home/Accounting valid users = @accounting read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] cannot join domain unless its root user
I'm atttempting to setup samba 3 as a primary domain controller which authenticates users from a windows 2k/xp prof workstation and maps their respective home folders as well as their respective shared folders on the gentoo server. For example, I have the following groups with their designated shares: Group Shared Dir -- water /home/water tms/home/tms accounting /home/accounting and I have the users and groups UserGroup --- bill tms , water, accounting jillwater I am unable to get a client to join a domain unless I login and join as root. The workstation display errors with username or password as incorrect. However, when I go to network neighborhood, I can still see the domain and see the shares on the server. please advise? thanks in advance I do however add the machines to the tdbsam database by issuing the command: Code: # smbpasswd -a -m machine name and add the following line to the /etc/passwd file Code: machine name$:x:410:400:workstation:/dev/null:/bin/false Here is some other relavant information net groupmap list # net groupmap list System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) - -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) - -1 Guests (S-1-5-32-546) - -1 TMS (S-1-5-21-2557073695-1402744893-439265927-1821) - tms Power Users (S-1-5-32-547) - -1 Accounting (S-1-5-21-2557073695-1402744893-439265927-1817) - accounting Print Operators (S-1-5-32-550) - -1 Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) - -1 Waterlogic (S-1-5-21-2557073695-1402744893-439265927-1819) - water Domain Users (S-1-5-21-2557073695-1402744893-439265927-513) - users cat smb.conf [global] workgroup = TMSWATER netbios name = TMSserver01 passdb backend = tdbsam os level = 33 preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon drive = H: logon script = logon.cmd logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon read only = yes admin users = root write list = ntadmin [profiles] comment = Roaming Profile Share path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = no [Misc] path = /home/Misc read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [TMS] path = /home/TMS valid users = @tms read only = no create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [Accounting] path = /home/Accounting valid users = @accounting read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 [Water] path = /home/Water valid users = @water read only = No create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
