 I'm actually surprised that 172.16.2.0/32 does serve your clients. I
 tried that configuration a few years back and it didn't work at all
 (samba 3.0.1something on debian)


So What I did was remove the interfaces restrictions altogether

 Also, I remember having problems with domain subfixes named .local;
 perhaps you'd like to rename it to .localdomain (I hope this is a test
 network...)


and put

172.16.2.0hifxnx

in the hosts file of windows workstations

now every thing is fine.

but I had to manuall create the group 'machines' to successfully join the domain

Thanks

But when I try to join the domain from the Windows XP machine.
I get the error

A Domain Controller for the domain hifxnx.local could not be contacted

and the debug log file dcdiag.txt contains these details.

The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service
location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for
domain hifxnx.local:

The error was: DNS name does not exist.
(error code 0x232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)

The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.hifxnx.local

Common causes of this error include the following:

- The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS.

- One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its
child zone:

hifxnx.local
local
. (the root zone)

It will be great if some one can point out the problem to me :-)

 Hint:  interfaces


Could you please explain?
Should I make Samba listen on all available IP address for the Domain
Controller to function?
It already functions as a File Server very well with this interface
configuration.
users in 172.16.0.0/12 can access all the shares.

 Can this really work?  Note the size of the netmask!

 Maybe better:
        interfaces = interface_name

 If necessary to restrict IP address range, us the hosts allow parameter.


Thanks for your input John,

if I use this  interfaces = interface_name then it listens on all IP
addresses on that interface and there are many. It causes confusion to
users so I wanted to restrict the IP address that samba listens to
172.16.2.0.

Actually it works as a file server well with this configuraion and
people can access all the shares.

thanks

[Samba] Samba 3.4.7 on Debian Squeeze does not allow Vista machines to connect to shares XP users can connect though

2010-03-23 Thread Siju George
Hi,

The following

ii  samba                                2:3.4.7~dfsg-1
SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
ii  samba-common                         2:3.4.7~dfsg-1
common files used by both the Samba server and client
ii  samba-common-bin                     2:3.4.7~dfsg-1
common files used by both the Samba server and client

are installed on a squeeze ( 2.6.32-3-686 #1 SMP Thu Feb 25 06:14:20
UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux )

but when I connect from Vista Systems to the shares I am unable to do it.
With the same username and password I can connect the users from
Windows XP systems though.

( ***There is another samba server on OpenBSD 4.6 ( samba-3.0.34p1-ads
) which allows the users to connect from Vista Systems without any
trouble*** )

[Samba] logging user login and logout time on Samba 3 DC

2008-10-03 Thread Siju George
Hi,

I have a Samba Server running on FreeBSD.
I need to track the time in which the client machines are used by
people to login to the domain
I also need to track the time they log of.

How can this be done?
Can Samba be made to log these details to config files on a per host basis?

Thanks and Regards

[Samba] Windows Updates management using Samba

2007-02-19 Thread Siju George

Hi,

I was just wondering there if there is anything/setup to make a Samba
3/4 PDC to fetch MS Windows Updates from the Microsoft website and
push it to the clients. Some thing Like WSUS?

If it is not already th ere is there any plans to add this
functionality to Samba?

I am wondering how updates are done on Windows Machines under a Samba domain.
The data transfer multiplies with the no. of clients right?

May be one way is to put a caching server like Squid on the firewall
and allow the cache to serve the requested file.

Is there any other/better way than this?

Thankyou so much

Kind Regards

[Samba] how to remove duplicate enteries in group mappings

  How do I remove duplicate entries i.e three Domain Admins,

  Thankyou so much Tomasz for your reply.
  Any Idea why it is that the new groups I create

 The token for the user is created a login time (i.e.
 when smbd authenticates the user).  You don't say but I'm
 guessing you are testing with groups after the token was
 created.  Logout from the windows client and log back in
 to refresh the user's token.


Thankyou so much Jerry for your reply :-)

I actually tried logout and login but the problem persisted so I downgraded to

devsrv:~# dpkg -l |grep samba
ii  samba  3.0.14a-3sarge a LanManager-like file and printer server fo
ii  samba-common   3.0.14a-3sarge Samba common files used by both the server a
devsrv:~#

and created the samba accounts ( tedious task! ) and the problems persisted.

The I found that the problem is only for the samba account administrator
So I removed the unix and samba accounts administrator and created
it again with useradd and also created the samba account
administrator and the thing seemed to be fixed.

I upgraded to

devsrv:~# dpkg -l |grep samba
ii  samba  3.0.21b-1  a LanManager-like file and printer server fo
ii  samba-common   3.0.21b-1  Samba common files used by both the server a

and the problems seem to be gone :-)

no Idea what went wrong actually! Thankyou ll for the help and suggestions.

[Samba] New 3.0.21b-1 Samba does not respect system Groups

2006-02-13 Thread Siju George
Hi all,

I am running

ii  samba  3.0.21b-1  a LanManager-like file and printer server fo
ii  samba-common   3.0.21b-1  Samba common files used by both the server a

on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) Linux  2.6.8-2-386 #1 Thu May 19 17:40:50 JST
2005 i686 GNU/Linux

I have noticed that the Samba software does not recognize newly
created groups with the groupadd commands. I'll demonstrate the
following.

I am running the Samba Server with

security = user

I have a share defined like this

[grtest]
comment = Intersight Website
path = /var/www/grtest
read only = no
read list = @phpprogrammers
valid users = @grtest
force group = grtest
force create mode = 0775
force directory mode = 0775

The Unix permissions for this folder is

# ls -l /var/www |grep grtest
drwxrwxr-x   2 root grtest48 2006-02-13 14:27 grtest

The members of the group grtest are

# cat /etc/group |grep grtest
grtest:x:1029:administrator

The group was created using the groupadd command.

Now the Samba user administrator has the same password as the user
administrator on the Windows 2003 Small business server I am
sitting.

When I try to access the [grtest] share from the Win2k3 SBS I am asked
for a user name and password for which I enter

sambaworkgroup\administrator

and password

But I am not able to connect.

But if I just change the Share description to have valid users set to
any group that was created earlier I can access the share with no
problems. I'll demonstrate it again

The group

# cat /etc/group |grep maverick
maverick:x:1004:administrator,mvarghese

was create long back.
And If I put that group in the valid users list as shown below

[grtest]
comment = Intersight Website
path = /var/www/grtest
read only = no
read list = @phpprogrammers
valid users = @maverick
force group = grtest
force create mode = 0775
force directory mode = 0775

and restart the Samba Server, I can go to the Win2k3 SBS and click on
the share and I can access the share without giving a user name and
password. ( Password for administrator is same on both Systems)

I found that this problem is only for Groups created recently and not
for groups created earlier.

I find it really puzzling :-(

Could Someone please explain what could have gone wrong?

Thankyou so much

Kind Regards

 It's because you have them in /etc/group (and this is how it's done
 without LDAP).
