[Samba] clustered samba registers all non CTDB addresses at WINS server
Hi all, in the first step to separate my wins/netbios/nmbd and my clustered samba servers i've installed the WINS feature on a windows 2k8r2 server, and set the "wins server = ip.adress.of.windows.server" the weird thing is: my samba 3.5.8 do not only register the public CTDB ip addresses specified by "cluster addresses =", but also the static maintenance ip's + the internal ip address of each node (direct link between the nodes, not reachable from outside) is this behaviour normal? and is this behaviour safe? or am i missing something in my smb.conf? i can imagine that if a netbios request comes in for my domain name, and the returned address is 10.0.0.1 something goes wrong Regards, Erik -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] Clustered Samba: Every 24 hours "There are Currently No Logon Servers Available"
Hi Daniel, again thanks for your input! and a great looking tutorial! although i have a couple of questions: - you said to set these options in smb.conf: bind interfaces only = yes && interfaces = 192.168.9.1 in this PDF document (Clustering Samba With CTDB A Tutorial At sambaXP 2009) http://www.samba.org/~obnox/presentations/sambaXP-2009/sambaxp-2009-tutorial-samba-ctdb-slides-paper.pdf it says: " if CTDB MANAGES SAMBA, do not set interfaces or bind interfaces only" (page 10) is it safe to ignore these recommendations? and wouldn't that mess up the whole setup in a CTDB ip takeover? same thing goes for the "socket address =" option "Setting this option should never be necessary on usual Samba servers running only one nmbd. By default Samba will accept connections on any address" http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#SOCKETADDRESS - your tutorial is for 1 server in a cluster; i think i should implement the same steps on the other servers, and then setup the push and pull replication between the nodes, right? and should every server use its local samba4wins daemon for wins? or should all the other servers point to samba4wins on the first server?

Re: [Samba] Clustered Samba: Every 24 hours "There are Currently No Logon Servers Available"
Daniel, thanks for your input! so i have to set this option "wins server = some.external.wins.ip" on both nodes then, correct? (and the next step is then to make the win server redundant aswell) and do i also have make sure the nmbd processes will not start anymore (that is configurable in /etc/conf.d/samba on gentoo) or do these processes take care of the name registration etc. ?

[Samba] Clustered Samba: Every 24 hours "There are Currently No Logon Servers Available"
All, i have this very weird and annoying problem in my clustered setup: every ~24 hours the vista clients cant login, or even unlock there screens anymore. The error they receive is "currently no logon services available" this is very odd, because i have 2 samba 3.5.8 servers available, running and configured to handle login requests. in the mean time the people that are logged in already can use shares etc, same for mac users. So my guess its a wins/nmbd/netbios issue; not being to resolve my domain name into an ip address it is a clustered (CTDB) setup with 2 nodes, based on gentoo, samba 3.5.8, ldap and glusterfs the setup is like this: 192.168.100.81 static maintenance ip of node0 192.168.100.82 static ip of node1 192.168.100.83 floating/ctdb ip of node1 192.168.100.84 floating/ctdb ip of node0 node0 has domain master = no, preferred master = no, wins server = 192.168.100.82 node1 had domain master = auto, preferred master = yes, wins support = yes in the 192.168.100 subnet there are - some other non samba gentoo machines - a windows 2k3 server for printing, no wins support installed, smbclient reports this is the master of another domain (used to have a gentoo & samba 3.0 master, but that is switched off now) - a windows 2k8 server used for pxe (is domain master of an AD domain, used only for the PXE setup, not using any recources of the other 2 domain, no wins support installed, no clients) in the 192.168.9.* to 192.168.14.* subnets there are ~60 windows vista/ windows 7 clients all statically configured to use 192.168.100.83 and 192.168.100.84 as WINS server what i do to resolve this issue is: - turn of ctdb & samba on node0 - reboot node0 (because samba deadlocks, other discussion) - start ctdb & samba on node0 - turn of ctdb & samba on node1 - reboot node1 (because samba deadlocks, other discussion) - start ctdb & samba on node1 only then the issue is resolved, and the clients can login again; just powering down node0 does not work, even in you restart nmbd on node1 and the log file says its a master browser and domain master of all the ip's associated i hate doing the reboot thing again and again, because it screws up the Glusterfs replication, and is just dirty. in the past week i had this setting: node0: domain master = auto, preferred master = auto, i then saw sometimes that node1 and node0 arguing over who is the master of one of the 4 ip, otherwise the loglevel 1 files stay pretty clean. Ive now blocked all ingoing and outgoing traffic to and from ports 137,138,139 to the 2 windows machines, just to be safe (and also i have become a little desperate :( ) the other thing that is weird that node0 starts 1 nmbd process, and node1 starts 2 of them... but this may be by design. i have a hunch that i have some rogue wins server somewhere that likes to tell that he is the domain master of my domain, does this make sense? can i debug this? or does somebody have another suggestion how to resolve this issue? thanks in advance!

[Samba] Clustered Samba: smbd process deadlocks when doing an /etc/init.d/samba stop on gentoo
Hi All, i have a problem with the SMBD processes on my clustered Samba setup. The setup contains: - 2 gentoo linux nodes (kernel 2.6.33.2) - ctdb 1.0.114_p1 - samba 3.5.8 - glusterfs 2.0.8 sometimes i want to do some maitenance on one of the nodes, then i do the following: - /etc/init.d/samba stop (to stop samba, and move all the users to the other nodes) - /etc/iniit.d/ctdb stop (to move the floating ip to the other host) After the first command, i see a big decline in the amount of smbd processes; from ~45 to ~15. but after 45 seconds the number stays the same, and after ~60 seconds the stopping process fails; leaving the remaining 15 processes either in S or in D state is `ps aux` i cannot kill -9 those processes, they either switch to deadlock or just stay deadlocked. The only resolution i have is to do a very ugly `reboot -nfi` so far i can provide the output of testparm, and also the relevant logs of loglevel 1, but i have the feeling that might not be enough? any help is very much appreciated!

Re: [Samba] Windows Vista keeps on deleting cached roaming profile
Well i turned out to be my LDAP server after all, after another week (that is almost 2 weeks in total) i've found that if a user is in a secondary LDAP group with a GID of 514, Windows vista will delete the cached roaming profile :-S No ADS on the same subnet, no policys, no registry hacks, none of that. Don't ask me what signals are sent from samba 3.5.2. to trigger this action, or what parts of the source of Samba are responsible for this, but i am just glad that i found the error, and am able to fix it now. oh i've set up the same group settings/GID into another non-ldap Samba 3.5.2 domain, and from there out Windows doesn't remove the profiles, so it seems to be a LDAP related problem. thnx for your help all! 2010/8/24 Cain, Marc > Hmm. > > The Windows server that would most likely be the culprit is the AD server > and the conditions for that would most likely have to be that the local > computer is finding a computer account on the AD server at boot time (that's > when Computer GPO settings are applied), before logon, and the AD server > would have to have a GPO on it that explicitly enables the "delete cached > copies of roaming profiles" settings. > > Since the AD server is there and since it is probably the only place such a > GPO would exist it's where I'd look.

Re: [Samba] how to set folder redirection on Windows 7 with a Samba PDC
there are some limitations kixtart cant write certain values to parts
the registry that are protected
but just for folder redirection its great :)
although with win7 you will probably run into some problems with the adobe
installer that is refusing to work, because of the folder redirection
samba 4 isnt an work enviroment option, since it is still in alpha

Re: [Samba] Windows Vista keeps on deleting cached roaming profile
@ Dave: thnx for your pointers but i already tried those (See my first post) with no luck... @ All: the problem becomes weirder and weirder: i have set up a new PDC with the same samba version, (only difference is that its not clustered, and doesn't have the LDAP back end), and when i create a profile on that domain, the user profile will stay cached on c:\users\ however when i join the same machine to the domain that is having the problems, and create a new profile as well for a new user, the cached user profile gets deleted again from c:\users\ so to conclude that; the problem is either my CTDB or my LDAP back end, which make no sense what so ever :( 2010/8/19 David Mathog > On second thought, the previous method was for older WIndows.

Re: [Samba] Windows Vista keeps on deleting cached roaming profile
The problem is not that the server profile is empty (i did that on purpose) the files get, and stay, there when i logout from the vista client the problem is that windows deletes the clientside cached profile from c:\users\username, and also the relevant registry settings :( the mailinglist archive gave me some great pointers to speed up the login process though! 2010/8/18 David Mathog > > I have a couple of Windows Vista Computers that i freshly (re)installed, > > updated to SP2 + all updates, and joined to my domain... > > i also got an empty profile on the server (the storage folder is > there, but > > there are no files inside) > > Read through this thread: > > http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2010-May/156130.html > > and see if anything in there helps.

[Samba] Windows Vista keeps on deleting cached roaming profile
I have a couple of Windows Vista Computers that i freshly (re)installed, updated to SP2 + all updates, and joined to my domain... i also got an empty profile on the server (the storage folder is there, but there are no files inside) When i log into the domain Windows creates all files and folders just fine and stores a cache of that profile in c:\users\username (like it should), And when i log out, Windows will write all the files it just created (pictures, desktop, ntuser.dat) to the server perfectly however if i login to the computer locally (not using the domain), and when i go to the c:\users\ folder the folder of the username is gone :( while i like it to stay there! so far i tried: - reinstalling windows multiple times - setting the following GPO's (although i never touched those) - computer\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Delete userprofiles older than a specific number of days ==> disabled - computer\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Delete cached copies of roaming profiles ==> disabled - computer\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Leave Windows Installer and group Policy software ==> enabled - computer\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Only allow local user Profiles ==> disabled - computer\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Prevent Roaming profile changes propagating to the server ==> disabled - computer\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Wait for remote user profile ==> enabled - computer\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Slow network connection timeout for user profiles ==> disabled - User\Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles\Limit Profile Size ==> disabled - adding the following registry setting: - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\ DeleteRoamingCache=0 This is with: - Gentoo Linux - Samba 3.5.2 (clustered with CTDB 1.0.114) - LDAP backend -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
