Re: [Samba] Multiple IP addresses
Hey Greg, I don't have a firewall in between the server and the Internet. I was trying to do some benchmarks on file transfers and then I would disconnect it after getting the benchmarks. I believe I know why I couldn't reach the Samba shares though -- the Sun X4200 M2 has been having configuration problems with the 4 ethernet ports. I can get the nge0 (the first port) working fine which has our production system on it. But, I can't get any other port to come up along with the primary port. Suggestion #2 seems like a possibility. So, the class A address I'm using will need to be entered into the Hosts allow field? For production, there will be a firewall and VPN access only. I have been looking for a stable VPN router/client that works solid on all recent Windows releases and haven't found one yet. I started using PPTP and it seems to be the most stable of all, believe it or not. Thanks for the help! - Original Message - From: Greg J. Zartman, P.E.

Even a VPN connection, which gets our internal address scheme works. But, when trying to use the publicly available IP address to connect to Samba it can't find it. There are likely a couple things preventing access: 1. Did you open the Samba ports on your firewall? Most firewalls have these ports closed by default. 2. Hosts allow/Hosts deny parameter. Is this set so that Samba will actually respond to the subnet that you are trying to access Samba from? IMO, opening Samba up to the internet is an inherently bad thing to do and something that very rarely really needs to be done. Instead, you should look at an ssh tunnel or an IPSec VPN. I use IPsec VPN routers to connect my two offices, which are both on different subnets and in different Citys.

Re: [Samba] A good read
From what I remember of using a system under this type of profile in my previous job, there were 2 home directories created when logging in locally versus logging in with the domain login. For example, I had rpollard as a local user on the computer I used and I had rpollard with a domain login and a profile. Correct me if I'm wrong but when I create these profiles on the domain server and the user logs in, they will lose all of their personal setting because it creates a new home directory? If this is true, how do I make the transition seamless to using domain based profiles?

Re: [Samba] Problem accessing Samba shares simultaneously by multipleusers
One suggestion of the top of my head is Subversion. I believe it supports file locking for simultaneous development. What little I read about it a while back it would allow you to control the locking. It's main purpose is version control which is needed as well if you have multiple developers.

[Samba] VPN and NetBIOS aliases
Hi,I'm wondering if anyone has run into this but I found out that I can't use Window's VPN connection and logon to Samba using Aliases. I can log into the server using the server's main NetBIOS name but I can't use any of the aliases.

[Samba] Permissions issue -- cannot delete a folder/file
Hi, I am relatively new to Samba although I've installed it and used it before my knowledge is very shallow. Environment: Samba version is: 3.0.21a Platform: Sun X4200 M2, AMD Opteron running Solaris 10 Client: Windows Vista Situation: I am trying to allow a user to copy folders from her desktop system to the SMB share that is mounted on her computer. I am using a different login to mount the share on her computer. The login was created on the server side. After copying a folder to the server she can't delete the folder. The login used to mount the share is the owner of the folder and the permissions are set to 755. So, I went to the command line and tried to delete the folder and it prompted me to verify that I wanted to delete each subfolder that was protected. But, when I create a folder/file in this folder from the command line I can delete it with no questions asked. Looking at the permissions from the Window side I only have Read Execute and Read permission on each file in the folders. If I don't have permission to write I shouldn't have permission to delete either. The question: Why is it that I am the owner of the folder/files, I have Read/Write/Execute Unix permission as the owner (755) but I can't delete the folder after copying it to the server? Gripe session: (Ignore this if you don't have time or don't care) I originally had planned to allow the user to have 2 mount points on the same server using different logins. Didn't realize that SMB protocol allows only one login to the server at a time. What is up with that? So, I had to reorganize the folders and permissions to allow 3 users to only see their folder whilst the other user can see hers and the other 3 user's folders.

Re: [Samba] Permissions issue -- cannot delete a folder/file
How many aliases are allowed. I remember seeing an alias field in swat. I have 4 logins that I was going to set up for the user that will be maintaining all 4 directories. For reasons to lengthy to explain, I need 4 different mount points with separate logins. Is this possible?

A single user can not connect to the same server with more than one set of credentials at a time. This is just a client redirector limitation, you can work around it by giving your server a netbios alias and connecting to this different name and a new set of credentials (does not work with kerberos credentials for obvious reasons, but works with NTLM auth).
