[Samba] virtual servers and smbpasswd
Hi, I have every Samba server set to security = domain for single password dbase management. So for example, I have a Samba file server; \\stuff\people And the same Samba file server but its virtual server; \\arc3\jobs When users try to access \\arc3\jobs, they are asked for a password and never allowed access until I copy over smbpasswd from the Samba PDC to it. security = domain works for the non virtual Samba server but not the virual Samba server. Can some one help? Bri- __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

[Samba] using Dfs
Hi, Does any one have some docs I coudl read to implement my SMB server as a Dfs server as well?

Re: [Samba] ok, so oplocks: good or bad?
Hi, I disabled oplocks after weeks of corrupt files during network renders amongst 80+ cpus using XP Pro.

Re: [Samba] samba failover plan on unix OS using hardware RAID
So, my suggestion is IDE hardware RAID 1, Since you asked, I would go with Raid 5. Your load being 20-30 clients is very light. is this a standard and good plan? Depends on many factors as your prereqs are generic being reliability and cost. I mean thats just about every ones prereq. You need to define; 1) data type 2) amertization period if any and I'm sure you have some kind of life span for both this need and tech used. 3) growth over time with hardware RAID on unix. Although my prereq are more intense than most on here, I would still suggest an external SCSI to IDE Raid box having SCSI 160/320 to a SCSI card in your PC. I would also suggest using XFS for Linux as a file system and testing viablity of RH9 if you plan to use RH that is. I've had both the 3ware internal SCSI to IDE and external RAID box being SCSI to IDE and I vote the latter Bcuz; 1) Better performance as the i/o is spread amongst the RAID box and the SCSI card. 2) Better reliability as you can get the external RAID box with hot swap for on the fly replacement of drives. 3) More controlled env as a good RAID box will have proper ventilation, etc while using a 3ware, you have to make sure your PC case has proper cooling. 4) Ease of install as you don't have to rely on specialized RAID drivers for your OS, only plain SCSI drivers being that the nature of this is host independant. Plus, don't go to cheap and being penny wise can be pound foolish. Bri- __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Samba] Samba servers
I would like to be able to have the system on the UNIX box be able to read the files on Windows by using SAMBA to make it a mountable drive. Is that possible? Well, first off, I question your needs here but you know what you want better than anyone. Second, if you wan to simply mount a Winblowz partition on a Unix box (I've only used RedHat to do this), using the command; mount -t smbfs //foo/bar /foobar -o username=foo would work. Do a man mount to see if -t smbfs is valid in your Unix. Also, I know that if you build Samba, there is an option to build smbmount as well as the smbmount that comes in RedHat is a bit wierd and I believe is not a product of samba.org but rather a product of RedHat.

Re: [Samba] Large site installation
Hi, I would like to share my experiance as it was gained in post production where we beat our equipment to death!!! Ok; a) determine site requirments b) determine budget c) establish install time d) predict hidden costs e) revise budget You are in a way, project managing this stuff so its very key that you get it right. What I found; Back when 10/100 was the shiznit, a couple of DAS served via SambaNFS and distro'd the data for both load balacing and some form of redundancy. This distro'd both network and disk i/o. The network was the bottle neck here. Now, gig e is cheap and the burden has moved to disk i/o. Even when I distro amongst several 1TB servers, I am getting 50% network utilization while file access slows. This means that my Raids (DAS; Linux, SGI-XFS, Samba/NFS, discreeet IDE Raid subsystem to SCSI Ultra 160) are saturated i/o wise. To fix this, I must either redo my Raids so I have many more smaller disks (more spindles working) or get a NAS like a NetApp. I understand NetApp can go wire speed so this means that 50% network util means 50% disk util. Hope this helps you. Bri- PS The DAS approach is a lot more work in that I must maintain the OS, the IDE subsystem and the SCSI interface not to mention keep track of the distro'd data via Dfs for Win clients and autofssymlinks for Unix clients. Look into NAS. The cost for either approach is about the same in terms of wether its all upfront or spread over time in terms of manitanance/headaches/etc... The advantage is peace of mind that a NAS buys you in that one can build a very robust DAS. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Samba] Samba vs Windows SAK; my observations...
Hi, I would like to post my thoughts. First, our file server performance and rendering times are 1/3 faster using a Linux backbone (I have detailed files). Our FTP site and Web site are more reliable and faster using Linux than Windows. I am also deploying Linux workstations to augment/replace our Windows workstations and ad to our OSX presence (watch out for OSX, it will be a major player top come) due to; - more fleaxable interface (X vs Windows) and thus better workflow for users. - less overhead and thus increased life span of hardware - better (much better) admin tools to remote and automate tasks. Second, ofcourse Open Source has its risks, mainly being accountability. Also, the IT dep has to be sharp and on the ball to properly support Open Source. However (in my opinion), ROI and TCO are more effective when applied to IT personel than IT infrastructure. In other words you will see better reults with scaling your software to your hardware rather than the opposite. Plus your IT staff using Unix (Linux, etc...) will give you the ROI and lower TCO than using Windows and all you really gotta do is empower them with a bit of knowledge and skill.

[Samba] trimmed down .conf (ie, what swat does)
Hi, After some thought, I decided to do what Swat does in cleaning up my smb.conf and only having in there the functional lines. This was done before a massive render kicked off last night. My observations, but fist my env; -4xRH7.3/8.0 Duel Zeon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ram file servers running Samba 2.2.7 and SGI_XFS 1.1-1.2 file system at .7TB-1TBGB each. -pure gig-e network using Foundry FastIron3 -flat single vlan network, pure TCP/IP with larger than default TCP window size (256K). -mixed MacOSX/Linux/Winblowz OS -60 proc render farm as well as using ~30 client desktops as they are mixed duel Athlon/duel Zeon no less than 2GHz/1-2GB ram. Results, after trimming down the phat in smb.conf to bare minumum, render times decreased ~25%. The bases of this is that just about every night, we render the same amount of stuff so I am comparing apples to apples. I don't have time to do a thourough bench mark of file xfer times but more later. I keep tight controls and observations of the infra structure so nothing else new was introduced and nothing else changed (using ethereal, mrtg, and other snmp and web based network managment stuff, and tcpdump ofcourse :).

Re: [Samba] Does the SWAT tool come with the Red Hat 8.0distribution?
SWAT does NOT 'butcher' your smb.conf, but it does strip out all comments, I feel notes are crucial in any config file.

If you feel Swat is a value add (it may be), it doesn't seem like it would be hard to not del lines starting with #.

[Samba] fail over, sorta
Hi, This has been talked about a bit (and prolly long before I signed up). However something that I've been meaning to try when time permits is incorporating a cluster and exporting the file system via Samba. The cluster can either be PVFS; http://parlweb.parl.clemson.edu/pvfs/ (more for throughout), or Oscar; http://oscar.sourceforge.net/ (more for redundancy). I will try this in a few months as either does shift the load more evenly in the infrastructure and prolongs investment. Any thoughts? Bri- __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [Samba] domain users in local groups
According to the docs of v2.2.7, domain groups are not
supported at this time.
What I've done and my env btw is;
Samba PDC
Samba file servers
XP/2K/Linux/MacOSX clients
Created some groups in /etc/group and assigned users
in /etc/passwd to the appropriate groups.
Then in my smb.conf file I have;
under [share]
force dir mode = ###
force create mode = ###
and the according group/user ownership on the dir of
the file server (some shell scripting to further
modify the perms as needed for finer garnular perms).
Make sure your /etc/{passwd,group} files are in snyc.
I will play with windbind and ACLs in the future but
the above was a simple implementation.

Hi, I tried the virtual samba server to allow 1 share access off of eth0 and another share access off of eth1.

[Samba] security = server vs domain
Hi, We covered this, but an interesting problem; I have a Samba PDC with smbpasswd file My Samba file server has no smbpasswd file and is set as; security = server password server = foo (netbios name) I notice that with this config, I've many smbd running because each authentication keeps the channel open until its finished with the resource as was stated earlier this week. To avoid this, I set the Samba file server as; security = domain password server = FOO (domain name) Access to the file server pyooks! Itt was mentioned earlier that I need an smbpasswd file on the Samba server if I have a Windows PDC, but is it true if I have a Samba PDC? If so, why as this defeats the purpose of centralized file management if I have to dist the smbpaswd file from the Samba PDC to each and every Samba file server. I am finding Samba unpleasent to say the least ie; POS! Bri- __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
