Hi there, i noticed that pdbedit uses the debug level from smb.conf - is this correct? Seems a bit damaged to be :o) Greets Patrick -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Alternative to smbldap-tools
Hi There, i'm keep having problems with samba and smbldap-tools for adding machine accounts on the fly. So I'm somewhat sick of smbldap-tools and i wanted to know if someone is aware of an alternative to it. I haven't found one yet. Anyone? (except writing it myself what would be the very last alternative :) Thanks in advance Greets Patrick -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] IdealX Samba Console on Debian Sarge
Hi, i would like to have a nice graphical gui for my samba PDC and found IdealX Samba Console to be just what i searched for (at least as it looks like on the website). But i seem to be to dumb to install it on debian sarge. I've downloaded the archive from the website and as the installation instructions seem to miss an explanation howto _install_ it (before configuring)i tried to do it myself with 'make install'. Well does installl a few files under /opt/IDEALX but is anything but not runnable. So i wanted to know: Is somebody aware of a howto explaining the installation of idealx samba console on debian sarge? Or even better: Is there any unofficial repository which provides deb packages?

[Samba] Group Policies
Hi there, is it possible to install group policies on a samba pdc which are automatically loaded on connecting to this PDC with a windows client? I thought i could remember that i read something like that, but i was unable to find anything about this topic in the Samba Documentations.

Re: [Samba] Samba 3.0.23c, ACL and Debian Sarge
Hi there, Guillaume Riviere schrieb: Dear All, I search for the packages of samba for GNU/Debian sarge with acl compiled inside. the default sarge packages aswell as the enterprise samba packages *do* have acl support compiled into. I currently have a setup with ACLs running here. :-) In fact I did try the 2 links provided by the web site but it still doesn't work ACL and Samba 2.0.23c (samba.org and entreprisesamba.org). This is an upgrade from the 3.0.14a, with this version the ACL support was ok. No it doesn't work anymore (Samba only see the basic rigths). Did you check that your mounts are acl-enabled? E.g. what das mount say? How is your samba configured? Does it work under debian as expected?

Re: [Samba] Samba as PDC, LDAP-based authentication for windows & linux clients
Hi there, Cybionet schrieb: No just one LDAP directory work great for the Windows and Linux Client. thanks for that answere. Found some howtos around telling me the same, but seems like i anyways need to store two hashes. Who cares. Anyways thats a good reason to start off :-)) 2.

I must admit that I don't success password change if your Samba+LDAP server use 'sambaPwdMustChange' attribute. Otherwise a simple script can change password for Linux client on LDAP. In this howto [1] i read about an howto to change passwords from linux. But if i store two password hashes (MD4 for NT, MD5 for Windows) - how do i take care that both changes reflect on both hashes?

[Samba] Samba as PDC, LDAP-based authentication for windows & linux clients
Hi There, we currently run a Windows Server 2003 Terminalserver and a NT4 PDC / File Server. Additional there is a server in the development unit acting as login server for the linux boxes. We now want to introduce a new file server and thereby replace the nt4 domain controller with a samba domain controller and consollidate it with the linux login server. I'm pretty sure it should be possible to do this with a central ldap server, samba and nfs. But there are some pitfalls i may stuck on, so i want to know if someone realised something like that before and can answere me some questions. Access control should be handled by posix acls. 1. Do i need two seperate LDAP directories for linux auth and samba-based windows auth? (e.g. because of different password hashes? or is there maybe a possibility to store passwords in _one_ ldap directory in _one_ hashing format which works for both windows and linux?) If i need seperate LDA directories: Where should i start to keep things synchronous? 2. I know that windows users can change there password on the windows terminalserver. But how do the linux users do? Any tipps about that scenario are appreciated.

Re: [Samba] pdc loosing domain sometimes
Hi, as far as i can see that in your posted configuration you run to smb servers and as your configuration file states: Both are configured to be local master. In that case each server will regular try to become the master browser, will be lucky for a moment, then the other server will become local master again. You should disable the local browser = yes on the system, that should not be the local master. (Would be the same in a homogene windows network: 2 servers configured as local master / PDC will fight each other stetic) Greets Patrick Schönfeld in medias res Gesellschaft für Kommunikationstechnlogien mbH Dahlenerstr. 570 D-41239 Mönchengladbach tel. +49 (0) 2166 - 685 fax. +49 (0) 2166 - 800 - Original Message - From: Markus Markert To: samba@lists.samba.org Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 10:31 AM Subject: [Samba] pdc loosing domain sometimes hi list, i have a strange problem. sometimes my samba pdc is loosing the domain master and a linux workstation with active samba on it gets the domain master status. maybee someone of you had the same problem or can help me. the smb.conf global section of the pdc server [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = NETBIOSNAME server string = SAMBA PDC Server security = user passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1 ldap://192.168.0.xx"; log level = 1 syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast time server = Yes printcap name = CUPS printing = cups printer admin = samba @"MY USER GROUP" use sendfile = no show add printer wizard = yes encrypt passwords = true Dos charset = 850 Unix charset = ISO8859-1 local master = yes os level = 255 domain master = Yes prefered master = Yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U logon drive = U: logon home = \\%L\%U logon script = %U.bat wins support = Yes bind interfaces only = true interfaces = eth0 127.0.0.1/8 192.168.0.xx/24 # LDAP Parameters deleted, works very well smb.conf of the global sektion which is collect sometimes the domain master of the network --- [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw printer admin = samba @"MY USER GROUP" username map = /etc/samba/smbusers map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf security = user local master = yes os level = 1 do you think it could be better if i write in the smb.conf`s of the clients, domain logons=no and domain master=no, can help me?? hope that someone can help me. greetings markus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Samba keeps locks on files
Hi there, we recently migrated from an old novell server to a samba server with DOS Clients. Everything went well and while testing the whole setup everything went okay, too. Okay a little about the setup now, so that my explanations can be followed. The system consists of a linux client, mainly used as a "service gateway", but also there is a component installed which is called update-server. Its purpose is to regular check a specific file on the smbfs for changes. There are also the already mentioned dos clients which are faxservers with special faxcards that need to run under dos. They also access the samba server and does (but not only) write entries to the file the update-server checks. The server itself is Debian GNU/Linux Well so far, so good. For the first 3 month everything went really well except some problems resolving netbios names in the network. But then it occured that the update-server didn't find changes in the specific file. A sight in the trace files of the above mentioned faxservers did show up permission errors which wouldn't alarm me much, as system is supposed to work with dos locking and a locked file results in such a message. But it was to many and everytime the faxservers tried to access the same file. Easy to guess: The changes file needed by the update server. Hmm.. okay i thought and checked with strace and lsof if the update server helds a lock on the file. No no. It doesn't. It opens the file, reads it and another file and closes all files again in a period of a few ms. But on the samba server it does show up one or to processes holding locks on a file for more then 2 days, as smbstatus states! Again: According to strace and lsof that is impossible! I don't know how i could trace it more, so i would appreciate every hint to trace the problem down. Hereafter is the samba configuration file.
