Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hello everyone, again: I have not received any single message from you regarding the changes in 3.0.21 - maybe that's why no one responed? Maybe the message simply did not get through? I asked again in Bugzilla to re-send that message, but I still received no message (but thanks to Volker the code works again). So, what changes are you proposing for 3.0.22 that will render the pdb_mysql module unusable? And why are you introducing such changes into the stable tree, so that every now and then a fix for the modules is important? Please shed a light, I really don't know what's going on at the moment... :-) Can the MySQL bug (#3369) have something to do with the changes you introduced or is this something different that exists longer?

Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi Filip, Ok, I think it's time to someone say I will maintain this. So I'm saying it :-) I can maintain pdb_*sql code - I depends on pdb_pgsql, but I think it is effective to maintain both mysql and pgsql together. Jeremy, do you think if it will be useful to create samba-sql mail list for these who take interest on samba pdb_*sql modules? thanks a lot for taking this over! We have a [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias (but no real mailing list). Messages sent there get to a group of persons who want to contribute to the development of the SQL module. Jerry, can you add Filip to this alias? Thanks Florian -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi Jerry, He's already on it :-) :-) This really boils down to a communication problem. Developers are expected to subscribe to both the samba-cvs and the samba-technical lists. The samba-pdbsql alias is really only intended for use in bugzilla (default owner of pdb_sql component). Okay, that makes sense. Filip, Darrell, will you subscribe to this lists? I could, too, but I guess as a non-developer I can't do much with this... :-) A simple small test server running the SAMBA_3_0 tree (updated every few days or so). That way, when something in the pdb*sql modules break, whether intentionally or not, you will know immediately. Filip already told he can set up two test servers, so that should work. Currently, I have one production machine which I can test new releases of the module on in the evening (it's in a school, thus no users after 6 or 7 pm). Will see if I can re-activate two old machines in-house and test there as well. Filip, if you want, you can give me RDP and SSH access so I can debug on your machines as well. But that's not necessary (RDP is insecure). Filip, you and I should stay in closer contact. I'll try to remember to ping you when there is any relevant developments that I think you should be aware of. Thanks for that offer, Jerry! I really appreciate all your (all Samba developers) work in this matter! I know you don't really want this module as it's not so widely used, so I appreciate your support even more! Thanks! :-) Could you please ping the whole pdbsql list when something new happens? (Or, at least, write to me as well.) Thanks!

Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi, At this moment I ca't have two small test servers - one for mysql and another for pgsql. So I can test code for mysql it it can compile and start, but I'm not able to test it for longer time. For pgsql I can do this. It will be great if for example Florian can test pdb_mysql more. Can do, see my last message. :-) OK, thanks a lot. I will look tomorrow and within weekend on current CVS code and I will try to tidy pdb_sql issues in bugzilla so we will know what is critical, what is already done etc. Thanks a lot, Filip!

Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi, Bugzilla is good for individual issues. The samba-technical ml is best for interaction with other Samba developers (like Jeremy Volker). I'll subscribe to this and see how much traffic it is. :-) Sounds like a good plan. If testing resources become an issue, let me know and I'll try to work out a better solution for you. I have three terminal servers (i.e., XP SP2 machines with RDP open) and SSH access to our PDC to test. However, I can't give anyone else access as it is a restricted network.

Re: [Samba] Problems with MySQL backend.
Hi Jeremy, It seems so, I'm sorry if that's the case. I did try and notify people so this would not break. no problem, the most important thing to me is that we can find a solution that everyone is happy with. It's not important now, what's more important is ensuring that the SQL modules are maintained going forward. Agreed. Volker (and others) are making passdb backend changes. You need to keep testing it with the SQL module as these changes are made to make sure it keeps working. No one else is testing it so the interface is fragile. Testing the interface is no problem. My problem, however, is fixing bugs or changing/adapting functionality. (See below) Haven't reviewed that bug - we need someone who will do that (review the bugs) and maintain the module - no matter what gets done. Of course the maintainer also gets to argue and complain and *help* design the passdb changes :-). I use the pdb_mysql module in an environment with about 100 clients and 1.500 users. We have a self-written web interface, and Samba and the web interface are based on the pdb_mysql module. However, I am no programmer, so I need your help. I can test, debug and act as a contact person, however, I need someone supporting me as a developer, as I can't code a single line. :-) Do you see any chance in this?

Re: [Samba] prevent normal users from getting userlist
Hi Andrew, Not without breaking functionality. See, any user should be able to run the ACL editor, and assign rights to users and groups. You could modify code to lock this down, but I would be worried about the consequences, as well as what other mean (direct LDAP query, for example) you would also need to lock down. I know this is difficult in strict privacy environments. you are right, of course, I did not think of the ACL features needed! However, there are some environments where it could as well be illegal to allow every user to fetch the whole user list. Are there any plans to implement a feature to disable getting user list for some users? Thanks!

[Samba] getting userlist and logon sometimes slow
Hello, I run Samba 3.0.20a with Windows XP Professional SP2 client. Sometimes, the logon is a bit slot, i.e. it takes some seconds until the Loading profile... dialog box comes up. The same effect happens when I start a program with the Run as command in the context menu. I enter my domain user and select run, and it takes about 5 seconds until the program is invoked. I guess it has something to do with getting/verifying user data. I run the pdb_mysql backend. Might it be related to that, or is that behaviour quite normal?

Re: [Samba] MySQL/Postgres pdb: cannot add new users
Hello Jerry, Hello Jelmer, Hello all, At the CIFS conference you indicated that you would like to transition the pdb_mysql module to another owner. You still feel like that? If so, I'll start looking for a new maintainer. unfortunately, I am no programmer, otherwise I would fix the outstanding bugs. I don't want to interfere with your current tasks, but I feel that fixing this module is somewhat critical, as the current version is not usable and destroys some running production systems by preventing them to upgrade to anything beyond 3.0.14a (with the pdb_mysql module from 3.0.11). I think the outstanding bugs should be not too complicated, looks like some SQL query/syntax errors, and I am willing to help by any means, but please look to get that one fixed, if possible. :) I don't see any need for new features, but the current bugs should be fixed.

Re: [Samba] MySQL/Postgres pdb: cannot add new users

We have the resources to support the code passdb code and modules but not all the variants available. yes, I know the problem with that, but in our environment, MySQL was the only choice to go with, and it worked fine. It shouldn't be too much work to fix it, as I guess it is just a SQL query that needs to be fixed. I will give you any help possible, but I have absolutely no programming skills, so I cannot fix it by myself .:-( As a workaround, I will try to use the 3.0.14a pdbedit (with the 3.0.11 pdb_mysql.c), but a fix would be nice.

Re: [Samba] MySQL/Postgres pdb: cannot add new users

I no longer have a production system that uses pdb_mysql so my testing is pretty ad-hoc. thanks, that sounds good! I have a production system that uses pdb_mysql and would be happy to help with testing. I guess there will be some others who run pdb_mysql systems and will volunteer for testing as well.

In short, the SQL module should - update only those cells who are affected by an update and not the whole row (what you planned to have for 3.0.20 and is buggy since 3.0.12 or so) - should not modify all database entries but only the one affected (the bug that came with 3.0.20 and destroys the whole database) - and the SQL schema should be corrected As far as I know, that's it.

I log on using a template user, but the registry contains some GIDs
(these {12345-12345-} strings) and some absolute paths, and I'm
searching for a tool to automate the removal of these entries, so a new
user gets a new, fresh profile with my default settings.
Thanks!
Florian

Re: [Samba] Re: modify NTUSER.DAT security descriptors/ACLs via command line?
Hi Michael, oh, sorry, I forgot to mention - I want to modify its data contents, as my ext3 has no ACL so far. ;-) It works fine when copying using the Windows GUI, but I search for a way of doing that scriptable/automated on the command line.

[Samba] same profile for several users
Hi there, I would like to have the same (mandatory) profile for a group of users. I tried by setting the same profile path using pdbedit and allowing everyone of them read/write access to the appropriate Linux files, including executable access to the appropriate directories of the profile. However, it does not work. At least Windows always saves my NTUSER.DAT and some other files with exclusive read/write access for the current user, so others get a permission denied. What would be an appropriate way of having the same (mandatory) profile for a group of users? Thanks! Florian -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] same profile for several users
Hi, For a mandatory profile you should rename the NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN, then you can disable any write access for that group. This way it worked for me. thanks, but the problem is that I still need one NTUSER.MAN file and a profile directory per user. I would like to serve a bunch of users out of one directory. :-) Florian -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] same profile for all users
Hi Craig, I think some checking in the How-To should provide the answer. It's 'mandatory' profiles and you should be able to accomplish this by having a Default User profile on the profile server and having the policy of deleting local profile at log off from each workstation. wouldn't that mean that this is valid for *all* users?

Re: [Samba] same profile for all users
Hi Paul, If I'm not mistaken, in the examples, mandatory profiles are integrated with folder redirection for this exact situation. I read through that chapter, but isn't it just about implementing registry changes - in this case folder redirection - into the Default Profile, which doesn't help for my situation?

[Samba] change settings in all profiles
Hello list, I have successfully set up my Samba domain with profile management and now have a Default User profile. When I create a new user and log on for the first time, I have the pre-defined profile as a template, so necessary changes only need to be made in one profile. That is great, however, I have a question. If, after some time, I want to add something to all profiles (for example: a registry setting, a shortcut on the desktop, etc.), what is the best way to do this? Deleting all profiles and let them rebuild with a new Default User profile is no option, since I don't want to destroy the users personal settings. Is there no other way than scripting, i.e. placing something in the netlogon.bat file? Or is there a trick?

Hi, Have you tried cp -a (it saves owner and standard permissions, not sure about acls though) no, have not tried that, but I have to change Unix permissions to the new user nontheless.

Re: [Samba] HOWTO for setting up Samba as a PDC
Hi John, no problem, I was just a little bit confused by all those tools. What I miss most in the documentation, is a description of what the tools actually do. What are they for, when do I need them. Why shall I groupmap a user to Domain User group when it works fine without? One particular error I recall is in the example when you do net groupmap to local groups. The correct syntax is net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Admins unixgroup=smbadmins net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Users unixgroup=smbusers net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Guests unixgroup=smbguests and, AFAIR, you did something with rid=512/3/4 which leads to an error message.

Re: [Samba] Re: HOWTO for setting up Samba as a PDC
Hi Michael, Yup, those caused errors for me as well. I never did understand what these commands were meant to acomplish. I found alternate commands to map Linux groups to domain groups and those domain groups to local groups. All documented in that presentation PDF file. they work just fine. If I change the net groupmap and the Linux users group, I can become user, admin or guest, that's perfect. The documentation is just wrong, as the rid tag only works when *creating* a group, not when modifying it.
