Re: samba and IPv6
Hi! You can find more about the status of Samba and IPv6 in my presentation from SambaXP (see http://www.ipv6consultancy.com/ipv6blog/?p=8). I have also provide a patch that enables IPv6 in the Samba4 server. A Howto and the Samba4 IPv6 patch can be found at http://www.ipv6consultancy.com/ipv6blog/?p=12. There is no patch for Samba3 yet. However, Samba3 can be made to serve CIFS over IPv6 using a superdaemon or a port forwarder (see my presentation for details). Let me know if you have any questions and good luck. It will be sometime before Samba3 and Samba4 have full support for IPv6. You might be interested to know that the Linux CIFS client has IPv6 support in the development tree. See my blog for a fix to this if you decide to try it out!

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
The "fdisk -I da1" failed with SCSI parity error, so I took another look at the manual for the 9GB drives and noticed that the J-4 pin block (12 pairs of pins where SCSI Device ID's are set) on these drives says Pin 11 is a "Disable SCSI Parity Check" jumper. I added a jumper on pin 11 on both 9GB drives. This resolved the SCSI parity error (note that SCSI Parity Checking is still Enabled in the SCSI BIOS). Then I did: 1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1 bs=512 count=1024 RESULT: OK 2) fdisk -I da1 RESULT: ERROR - Output: *** Working on device /dev/da1 *** fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found fdisk: Geom not found 3) gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/da1 (to see what would happen) RESULT: OK! Metadata value stored on /dev/da1. Done. 4) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da1s1 bs=512 count=1024 RESULT: OK 5) bsdlabel -w da1s1 RESULT: OK 6) bsdlabel -e da1s1 Confusion on what to do here and why. Your instructions were: "Then in the editor it brings up, put all the slice in a: - just copy the c: line and change the type to BSD4.2 from UNUSED and make the [fsize bsize bps/cpg] columns be 2048 16384 28552" Why "copy the c: line"?

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
Hi, Jerry: Yes, I want to run Samba (sorry the list of requirements from my original email got left off). I also want to have the server run scheduled backups of the mirror disk. However... I am not able to initialize da1 and da2 successfully. I went through the process of running FDISK and the Label Editor from the sysinstall menu, both without any error messages, but it does not work! (see the steps I took below) Here are the detailed steps I took and results (FAIL). Did I miss any important steps or do something incorrectly, or is there a problem with these disks?: 1) Boot FreeBSD and login as user "root". 2) Start sysinstall from the shell prompt. 3) Select the Configure menu option and run FDISK. 4) Created a single slice ("da1s1") on da1, then repeated the process for da2 ("da2s1"). Both slices are the same size (17912475 blocks). 5) Select "Label Disk Label Editor" in FreeBSD Configuration Menu. [See attached file containing FDISK and Label settings] 6) I then tried to format the "da1s1" partition using: newfs /dev/da1s1d ...which failed with "newfs /dev/sa1s1d: could not find special device" Checked /dev and found "da1" and "da2", but not the expected "da1s1d" and "da2s1d", so I tried: newfs /da1 ...which failed with: ...

Probably there is some confusion. If you alredy have your FreeBSD stuff on da0 and only want to put the windows stuff on da1, then you don't need it divided up in to all the extra partitions. If you want Windows clients to use it, do you plan to run Samba? If not, maybe you should just make the disk a Windows disk, but make it FAT32 so FreeBSD can both read and write it. If it will be the store for Samba, then forget this comment. As for the unused bit before and after the slice, if I understand what you are pointing to, that is normal. It is now normal to just skip the first whole track where an MBR might be written rather than just one sector. That is the 63 extra blocks at the beginning. Then, fdisk will ignore trailing stuff that doesn't conveniently fit in to the addressing scheme.Neither part amounts to much actual disk space by today's standards so it is just ignored. If you are going to make a mirror, then try to get the two slices to come out to the same size.

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
Thanks for the steps, Laszlo. I got as far as creating a freebsd slice on da1 (both da1 and da2 have been low-level formatted). Now I have two questions: 1) When creating the slice on da1, I specified to use the entire disk, but there are 2 unused sections -- one before and one after the new slice (please see attached file). Should I start over and specify a smaller size? What size should I specify?:' 2) About creating partitions on da1: You specified to add partitions to the slice (/dev/da1s1a, /dev/da1s1b,/dev/da1s1c etc.). Please note: a) The entire FreeBSD filesystem is on da0. b) I want to use the entire da1 disk for users on Windows clients to store files/documents on. I also want the mirror disk (da2) to be backed up regularly. Do I need to create more than one partition on da1? What are the requirements for naming partitions in this situation? Thanks!

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
One more thought: I had to disable ACPI (as with the first server) to get FreeBSD to boot.

Re: Samba and RAID 1 using gmirror on 2 new disks
I was initially hung up on the boot disk issue as well - everything in the handbook applies to a data-only drive as well, except the part about dumping the filesystem, etc. I presume your disks are uninitialized. I suggest a look at the actual gmirror manpage, it has more & better examples, and I pretty much followed one of those exactly. There's really only 2 things to do: 1) make sure gmirror gets loaded on startup (specific directions are in the handbook/man) 2) initialize your disks with gmirror as per the man page. After that works, you'll have something like /dev/mirror/gm0 (you'll still have /dev/da1 and da2, but you want to use the gm0 in fstab instead, otherwise, it won't be mirrored). Then, if you are a newbie like me, you can just run sysinstall to fdisk and label (aka. 'partition/format') your new disk. It was quite easier than I expected, acutally, and my disks have live data on them - no problems ensued. Since it's a 'normal' disk after gmirror is configured, samba works with it just like the rest of your filesystem. Samba was a bit more work for me, but again, just followed the handbook and samba.org instructions, and I had no major issues. Steve On 4/19/07, L Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello.

Joerg, That makefile looks like it will work much better, however I having some trouble getting it to configure completely as well.

Re: Samba and ADS Support PLEASE...
Nice to know I am not alone thanks. I am really thinking this whole issue is related to that one file I removed. To remove the file I simply mv it gssapi.org and samba built successfully, though with out ADS support. I decided to look through the file and noticed that it made quite a few references to kerberos. 2+2=4 but I am still not sure why, how or even what to do to fix it. Suppose that's why I got into unix in the first place, the challenge of it all.

Or further hack it so that it knows that any name that ends in '$' is a samba machine name and have it execute the correct smbpasswd command as well.

One of the tricks it does is randomly drop any static IP addresses it has been set and grant itself new ones from ranges that are already assigned. Also, sometimes when there is nothing wrong network-wise other than an unplugged cable, it will lead the clueless user through a whole rigmarole where they are encouraged to "Set up home networking" or some such, which rips through every network setting on the box and they end up trying to do some non-IP nonsense called "Bridged connection" or whatever (nothing to do with Ethernet bridging I'm sure), and then the user wonders why they can't "get on the net" anymore - "Nothing works, I've followed all the instructions, I think your firewall thing is broken". XP pro doesn't seem to do anything like that, presumably because its designed to be actually used on a corporate network where they might be people around who'll see through it. -- W. Palfreman.

RE: Samba and XP?
XP Home will not 'log into' ANY server-based network (NT4 domain model OR Active Directory). However, this does not mean you can't access samba shares on other machines. ie. it supports workgroup networking but not domain networking. Login to the local XP Home box, browse on the network to find the SMB server you want, and open it up. The XP Home box will attempt to authenticate using the local user's username and password: if that fails, it will pop up a box asking for a valid username and password. This should work just fine. XP Home CAN also access shares on servers that are part of a domain, using this same method. The only difference is that the username and password used must be valid on the domain. BTW: just to make it clear, if the credentials used to login to the local XP Home box exist on the SMB server, the user will be let straight through without being asked for another password. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jason Hunt Sent: Sunday, 2 February 2003 9:33 AM To: Bill Moran Cc: John Wilson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Samba and XP?

Re: Samba and XP?
If you don't want to install samba, find a windows ftp client that is easy to use... seems I've seen some that pretend to be hard drives on your desktop... can't remember the name, but the friend that had it seemed to like it. -philip On Fri, 31 Jan 2003, John Wilson wrote: > Good Day, > > I am currently seeking advice in regard to allowing an XP Home Edition > machine to have access to a FreeBSD mount.

John Wilson wrote: Good Day, I am currently seeking advice in regard to allowing an XP Home Edition machine to have access to a FreeBSD mount. I've looked over Samba, and not only have I seen references to XP's inability to join a 'domain based-network', There's an XP machine right behind me that talks to our Samba server just fine. Just don't configure Samba to be a domain server. And, it does work just fine under domain systems as well. Samba just doesn't do active directory yet. but also don't really like the idea of installing Samba as it's a rather large package (relatively speaking) for what it simply does. Well, I didn't think it was a terribly big package, but that's my opinion. My only other alternative, if I am correct, is trying to obtain an NFS client for the XP machine and simply serve NFS mounts on the FBSD host. The downside to this is the cost of the NFS clients for the XP machine. :) I don't recommend this. Aside from the cost, I've never found one that worked worth a damn. Are there any other alternatives available here? If not, which of the above two 'solutions' would be best? I only have one BSD machine and one XP machine, and I'd like to allow read/write access to a FBSD mount from the XP machine. I think you'll be just fine with Samba.

RE: Samba and XP?
You could go upside-down and use the FreeBSD machine mounting a XP-share. You say that you're using XPhome so ActiveDirectroy or any other Domain-Controlling issues shouldn't play a role. I think mount_smbfs is your friend.
