Re: [Samba] Upgrading Samba: minimum requirements for Samba wrtSolaris and gcc
John, Thank you very much! John P.

I tracked this behavior into mkproto.sh: the problem is with the tr program in /usr/ucb. mkproto.sh uses tr in a pipeline like this: ... | tr ' ' '\n' | ... /usr/ucb/tr substitutes spaces with n characters, where /usr/bin/tr substitutes newlines. It makes a HUGE difference to what mkproto.sh is trying to do. Frankly, I recommend removing /usr/ucb from your path entirely. I followed your advise and this problem goes away. Thanks!

Look in config.log - the messages there may help you figure out what's going wrong. I looked there and cannot find what is wrong. :-( The file is located here: http://troy.jdmz.net/config.log My first guess would be that something is wrong with gcc: perhaps gcc really CAN'T create executables on this system: try doing a simple compile of a hello world C program. I can compile simple and complex programs, and Samba 2.2.8a (though that has the 'Broken pipe' problem). It's weird that configure can't report on the contents of conftest.c, though. It's almost like something else is wrong with the standard shell scripting tools on this system. I'd try removing any strange directories from your PATH, and try again.

[Samba] Upgrading Samba: minimum requirements for Samba wrt Solaris and gcc
Greetings list! I have a older Samba (v 2.0.7) server compiled with an older gcc (v 2.8.1) running on an older Solaris (v 2.5.1). I would like to upgrade to a newer version of Samba. I have had trouble compiling Samba version 3.0.1 with gcc version 2.8.1 on Solaris 2.5.1: $ ./configure checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... cat: cannot open conftest.c configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables an on Solaris 8, the 'configure' step completes successfully, but 'make' seems to hang early: % make Using FLAGS = -O -I./popt -Iinclude -I/home/troy/src/samba/samba-3.0.1/source/include -I/home/troy/src/samba/samba-3.0.1/source/ubiqx -I/home/troy/src/samba/samba-3.0.1/source/smbwrapper -I. -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/home/troy/src/samba/samba-3.0.1/source LIBS = -lsec -lgen -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl -ldl LDSHFLAGS = -G LDFLAGS = Building include/proto.h creating /home/troy/src/samba/samba-3.0.1/source/include/proto.h [it hangs here for hours if I let it] I have successfully compiled Samba version 2.2.8a with gcc version 2.8.1 on Solaris 2.5.1, but I cannot successfully join the NT4 domain.

I need to be able to join the NT4 domain right now, but I will want Samba to take over PDC duties soon. The current Samba here (2.0.7) doesn't provide group membership information to the two W2KS Citrix boxes here, so it isn't used as a PDC. Do I have to get a newer version of gcc to compile on Solaris 2.5.1? If so, what version would be best to move to? Or, do I have to upgrade Solaris to compile and run a newer Samba stably? If so, what would be the best choice right now. Does Solaris 9 have any advantage over 8 with regard to Samba serving?

Re: [Samba] Possible to make samba ignore file permissions?
Adam, On the share you could make all files mode '644' and owned by user 'special'. Then use: force user = special force create mode = 644 force directory mode = 755 and maybe some other 'force' type parameters on that share. As long as special isn't in the writelist, things might work out for you. You could try something similar with 'force group'.

Re: [Samba] Samba Terminal Services / Citrix
Hello Brad and Drew, We us Samba here with Windows 2000 Terminal Server and Citrix. Shares and printers are served from a Solaris 2.5.1 box running Samba 2.0.7 in security=domain mode and an NT4 PDC. We will upgrade when I can grab the time to make and thouroughly test one of the latest releases. We haven't been bitten by this problem, I assume, because we have very few users (usually 10-20) per server. Sorry I can help with this particular problem, but it is good see others using similar Samba setup. Troy Johnson --- Troy Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Programmer / System Administrator Minnesota Cancer Surveillance System - MDH [EMAIL PROTECTED] 06/03/03 09:51AM Hi Brad, We use SAMBA here with our Windows 2000 Terminal Servers quite successfully. You are correct about the problems with the session id problem. What happens is that by default whenever any user from the same terminal server connects to the same SAMBA server they go through the same smb process. Thus, the more user's connecting from the terminal server, the worse your file access performance can get. In the Windows NT 4 version of Terminal Server Microsoft added a registry option which works around this problem. The registry entry is : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters] MultipleUsersOnConnection=dword: (Note this should be listed in the SAMBA documentation) However, under the Windows 2000 version of TS, MS took out this registry value. The work around we have used here to give each user their own smb process is we created a local alias in the hosts file, on the Terminal Server, for the SAMBA server. For the alias we used the user id's of the user's access the machine. For example assume you have SAMBA server called samba1 with a share called myshare. Now if you have a user on a TS with the user id smitjoh who wants to connect to the share what we would do is the TS hosts file we would add an entry to the file that aliases the IP address for the server samba1 to be also known as smitjoh. Then when the user connects they would connect to the share as \\smitjoh\myshare \\smitjoh\myshare instead of \\samba1\myshare \\samba1\myshare . (Note : the one catch with this is that the user id alias is not visible in the browse list when you map network drives, however for the folder path can enter \\userid \\userid and then click on the browse button and it will show you the server with the user id alias). Another option for this is you could try using the SAMBA netbios aliases smb.conf option to create the SAMBA server aliases. Hope this helps.

RE: [Samba] Samba Authentication against NT domain
No, not in my experience. Since Samba (in domain mode) will forward all authentication requests to the PDC of the domain, it just has to join the domain (which causes the PDC to create a machine account for the Samba server automagically).

[Samba] security=domain and Citrix MetaFrame on W2K was Windows 2000Terminal Server and Samba
Does this work for: security = domain situations? Do you have to do anything special with regard to joining the domain. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/27/02 09:16AM I saw your postings and thought I would through in my two cents for the Windows 2000 Terminal Server and Samba. The MultipleUsersOnConnection does not seem to work in Windows 2000 version of Terminal Server (at least not for me). My understanding is that Microsoft has removed that option in Windows 2000. What I have found, through various discussions in the Samba newsgroups, as well as testing, it is possible to give a unique SMB process to Terminal Server SAMBA connection, however to do this they need to access the samba server through an alias for the SAMBA server. In my tests this was tried with both the SAMBA netbios aliases option, as well as creating server name aliases through the local hosts file on my Terminal server. In both cases, each connection to the server, with a different host name alias, was found to create a new smb process for each alias name connection and this in turn helped with my file server performance problems (as well as some file locking problems). What I have started to do is create a unique server alias for each user that goes to access the server (this way each user gets their own unique SMB process), and so far no problems. I have implemented this by creating a SAMBA server host name alias in my Terminal server hosts file using the users user id (this way the user id is not visible to anyone off of that terminal server). Something to be aware of though is that in my case the most aliases I have had to create at anyone time is around 50, so I do not know what the maximum number of aliases possible would be (for either the netbios aliases option or the local hosts file) so this may not be do-able in a large environment. Also, in my case, user's normally only access files from one SAMBA server so the user id aliases can work for me. If someone needs to access another server they just access it through the regular NetBIOS name, but since this does not happen too often, it does not create noticeable performance problems for my users (or at least none have been reported or noticed). -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] (no subject)
Pravin, You don't necessarily need a login script, but it is nice for mounting shared drives and printers, or just copying/installing files. Use an empty login script to start, then use the Windows command line (the net use /? command is helpful here) to mount and attach to services you want. Put those commands into the login script and use environment variables (like $HOME and $USERNAME) to generalize them (so every user can benefit from them). Then test (the echo command is useful here, i.e. echo $HOME $USERNAME). Good luck, Troy pravin choubey [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/18/02 01:18PM Hi, Does anyone have a simple login script which i can put in smb.conf for my samba server.I am installing samba first time and dont know perl.I copied one from book Using samba but it does not work.

Re: [Samba] help with NT-to-Samba
Peter, Try: D:\TEMPnet use s: \\natvpn2\wohl /user:wohl and it will probably behave better. Good luck, Troy Peter Wohl [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/14/02 10:12AM Hello, I have a PC running NT 4.0 SP6 and a SUN Solaris (natvpn2) running Samba 2.2.2-sun-solaris-2.8. I installed and configured Samba myself from the wealth of documentation available. I passed all steps in DIAGNOSIS.txt, except that TEST 9 does not ask for a password: D:\TEMPnet use s: \\natvpn2\wohl The command completed successfully. ... and this is my problem: Samba logs me on as nobody, so I have but few permissions on the UNIX box. I would like to log on as wohl (with password, of course). # This is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.11 # These are: my NT^^^ SUN^ #My SUN user name is wohl; my NT user name is different username = wohl load printers = yes log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 50 security = share encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writable = yes read only = no public = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes Can you help please? -Peter -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Server v. Workstation installation
What is the output of these commands: /sbin/ipchains /sbin/iptables naugaranch [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/14/02 01:42PM Hopefully someone can help me. I've been running a windows 2000 Workstation and Server. This spring I added a Linux workstation (Red Hat 7.2 - Samba 2.2.3a) to the network. Took some work but that is running fine. smb.conf seems to be giving me what I want. LAN addresses are assigned with DHCP. I have had several people tell me that they have a network running with static addresses. I DO NOT have a domain controller. While upgrading some machines, I decided to try a Linux server. Installed Red Hat 7.2 as a server. First installation of Samba was that distributed with Red Hat 7.2. I could read files on the windows machines but the W2K machines did not recognize the Linux Server. I could ping the address or server name and get a replay - just not available (Network Path Not Found) from windows. Even though I could ee the linux server in Netwrok Neighborhood. I tried upgrading to the latest Samba at the time - 2.2.5 -- still no luck -- even with smb.conf that is identical to the one on the workstation except for Netbios Name and Server String, identifiying the server. I appear to have a valid password file. This has been rebuilt a couple times. Here's a copy of the server smb.conf. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Samba] Wins over subnets
Sandro, What version of Samba are you running? What OS and version are you running Samba on? Can you confirm that 'nmbd' is running? Can the list see the smb.conf file? What version of NT server was it before? What version(s) of windows clients are connecting? Do they all behave the same in that they cannot browse other subnets? Good luck, Troy Sandro J.

In the primary net i've SAMBA being a PDC, master browser and WINS server and all the desktops are pointing to this WINS server. I've tried Netbios over TCP/IP e also LMHOSTS.

Re: [Samba] Please help, going mad with permissions
It maybe isn't the problem now, but it may be that your OS has a cron job, utility, or patch that modifies the permissions of files/directories under /dev. This is because it may assume that all files/directories there are devices. For that reason alone, I would definitely find another location for this share. Just my 2 cents, and good luck!
