[Samba] Source for latest Samba builds packaged for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Greetings, When Samba 3 first came out, I made use of the official Debian (Sarge) repository hosted at samba.org to get access to the very latest Samba builds. Since switching to Ubuntu, I have sort of lost touch with latest Samba developments as I have not found an equivalent source for packages. Currently I have a bug open against Samba on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid: Samba in Lucid upgrade killed Envelope Feeder on HP LJ4000 printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709188 So that raises the desire to search for a source for Ubuntu packages so I may evaluate higher versions of Samba. The upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04 introduced this bug. My thought is trying Samba higher than what 10.04 ships with might have resolved the problem. Over the years I have heard of Ubuntu developers which host Samba repos in their PPA accounts. Is that the best source? If so, which one of the developers? A link please?

Re: [Samba] Killed HP LJ4000 envelope feeder upgrading Ubuntu 9.04 -- 10.04 LTS
Greetings, Already when the server was on Ubuntu 9.04, my Ubuntu workstation was having difficulties printing to the printer via a Samba connection. For example, Mozilla Thunderbird could print, but Firefox print jobs got lost to lala land. I found how to do a direct CUPS on the workstation to CUPS on the server connection, and that cleared all of the trouble up. So I thought to see if I could to the same from Windows XP. Turns out MS calls that Internet Printing. So after the sample of my printer connection form my Linux machine, I made three connection to the CUPS queues, used the same drivers I recently re-published to Samba, and the Envelope Feeder again works properly. This is very disappointing that, well I have been working with Samba since 3.0.2 and printing works better in that ancient version than current versions. I would think that Samba merely acts as a Spooler for Windows clients. Obviously not! At least we have a cumbersome work-around to be able to get work done.

[Samba] Killed HP LH4000 envelope feeder upgrading Ubuntu 9.04 -- 10.04 LTS
Greetings, Some time ago I upgraded an Ubuntu 9.04 to 10.04 LTS. I am running the distro packages of Samba, currently 3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.2 The upgrades (I had to pass through 9.10 to get to 10.04, but stayed there only moments) killed the ability to use the envelope feeder on our HP LaserJet 4000 printer. This evening I decided to purge off all printer related files from our server, re-upload the drivers, etc... to see if that would help. It did not. Steps to do the above: 1) Stop Samba 2) Backup files: /var/lib/samba/ntdrivers.tdb /var/lib/samba/ntprinters.tdb /var/lib/samba/ntforms.tdb /var/cache/samba/printing/printers.tdb /var/cache/samba/printing/HPLJ4000-PS.tdb /var/cache/samba/printing/HPLJ4000-PCL6.tdb /var/cache/samba/printing/HPLJ4000-PCL5e.tdb /srv/shares/print/* (dir that has the print share for drivers to be uploaded to) 3) Delete said files 4) Restart Samba 5) From a Windows XP Pro workstation, login to the domain with an ID that is a PrinterAdmin 6) Re-upload drivers 7) Check the check box in the driver for the Envelope feeder. The check box would NOT stay checked in the PCL-5e or PCL 6 drivers. The check box DID say checked in the PS driver. 8) Return to test workstation, reinstall the drivers overtop of the drivers already on the workstation (same version drivers as before, HP has not updated them recently) 9) Confirm that the PS driver DID have the Envelope Feeder selected 10) Try printing an envelope, printer LCD does indicate that it is going to print an envelope, however 8.5 x 11 paper is pulled in Suggestions?

Re: [Samba] Samba 3.4.7 in Ubuntu 10.04 and WinBindd
Perhaps I did not ask my question in the correct syntax... let's try again. Now I am suspecting that WinBindd that is a part of the Samba 3.4.7 packages / Ubuntu 10.04 is causing a couple of minutes of login delays after the server boots up. Since I do not remember ever running WinBindd before, and since it seems to be causing troubles, what is the correct way to disable WinBindd until such a time I need to use it? About the login troubles, in case it is NOT WinBindd related: I am able to start login in via console / ssh, enter my ID/pw, and then the session HANGS. I configured a script to dump a ps aux output to a date-time stamped log file. The server fully booted - snapshot - the login completed - another snapshot. In the first snapshot, I do not see winbindd process in the list, in the second snapshot I do. Also no Samba shares may be successfully accessed while the login hang persists. After the server allows logins via console / ssh, Samba shares are accessible. Suggestion?

[Samba] Trouble connecting to Samba 3.3.2 on Ubuntu from Win98
Greetings- Since the last time I tried to connect a Win98 client PC to our Samba PDC I upgraded the PDC from Debian Sarge and Samba 3.0.26a-1 from samba.org to an Ubuntu 9.04 server running Samba 3.3.2 from Ubuntu. I was able to port the smb.conf to the new server only changing the join domain script to account for Debian/Ubuntu differences to that one line. I think I recall correctly the steps to connect Win98 to Samba, but it is not authenticating. I checked the box to log into a NT domain, and filled in the domain name. I also filled in the same domain name to the workgroup field on the next tab from where I saw the NT domain name question. (Sorry, do not have the screen in front of me.) I do not recall it being more complicated than that. Once Win98 was rebooted, it comes up with a domain style login screen, and will not accept my password. The accounts are known good - I can log in from Windows XP / 2000 and Linux computers just fine. I see log files for this Win98 client showing up - both a IP addy named log and a hostname named log, both are zero (0) length. Possibly did I forget a critical detail somewhere?

[Samba] Samba PDC upgrade / hardware replacement results
Greetings- I am very pleased to report that the Samba upgrade went very well! The old server was running Debian Sarge w/ Samba 3.0.26a-1 and the new server is built on Ubuntu Server 9.04 and official Ubuntu builds of Samba packages. The Samba server started right up with the exact smb.conf from the old server. Impressive that with all of the work done by the Samba team, not even a warning or note of deprecated something in the configuration! :-) Thank you specifically to John, Eero, Zoolook, and Harry for replies regarding moving the Windows machine accounts to the new server! :-) We use XFS filesystem, thus xfsdump / xfsrestore.

Thanks for speaking up, Harry! :-) For Samba users (real actual users) there is an entry in passwd and group. I would think I can use adduser to set those up, and edit the uid/gid # to match. For Samba machine users, there seems to be only an entry in passwd, and shadow of course. The password hash appears to be the same hash as other ID's which no one ever logs into. So I would think I would be safe hand editing both passwd and shadow to add the machine accounts, and simply copy/paste the password hash that is appropriate for the new server. Do you see any problems with this course of action?

When a particular workstation ID creates a dir/file, it shows up on the server's filesystem as the owner even though the uid/gid numbers do not match between client / server. All of the force * mode lines were not necessary and were able to be removed. Running with the unix extensions disabled the same * mask lines that work for Windows clients perform equally well for Linux clients. The one thing I did notice, and it is related to perms, is newly created dirs/files show up on the client with 644/755 perms even though on the server file system they are actually 666/777.

[Samba] Linux clients, force * mode
Someone on this list suggested looking at force * mode to make Linux clients connecting to Samba servers create dirs/files with certain permissions. I attempted it yesterday, and had to quickly comment out the added lines as both Windows and Linux clients could not connect to shares at all! Today I started with uncommenting the lines on one share. I could still connect with both Windows and Linux. That seemed odd so I uncommented all lines I added yesterday, and both Windows and Linux clients can connect and access files. However, force * mode* entries do not seem to take affect. Following is the initial share I am testing with: [data] comment = Shared Application Data Files path = /srv/shares/data guest ok = no read only = no create mask = 0666 directory mask = 0777 force create mode = 0666 force directory mode = 0777 And I use this command to connect to share from a Ubuntu 7.04 workstation: /bin/mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/mdlueck/.smbcredentials,uid=mdlueck,gid=mdlueck //ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/ With a Windows 2000 computer connected to the domain, I can make dirs on the data share resulting in 0777 perms, and files resulting in 0666 perms. With Linux I end up with 0755 perms on the dir, and I am unable to create files in the dir. Someone made this comment to my problem: The create mask bit-wise removes the bits from the permissions. So a create mask of 777 will effectively remove ALL permissions from the file. I am seeing correct permission on files/dirs created by the Windows 2000 workstation. Dirs end up 0777, files end up 0666. So certainly no creating files with all permissions removed. Could someone please shed light on this?

[Samba] cifs verses smbfs for Linux clients
I am somewhat confused... I understand that the preferred method to mount a Samba share with a Linux client is to use mount -t cifs rather than mount -t smbfs. I get the impression that smbfs is samba.org developed code where as cifs is from elsewhere. Thus the point of confusion. Why is samba.org not developing the preferred code in this case? A sub question to that main one is a nagging thought of needing to add the Debian / Ubuntu smbfs package to Linux client systems issuing mount -t cifs.

[Samba] Mounting to the home share with Linux client, what syntax, etc...?
Greetings- Using Ubuntu 7.04 as the client OS, I am pondering how to automate a bit of drive mappings as I did previously with Windows. 1) What is the syntax to mount the user's home share? If possible I would like to variable'ize the username, or not even have to specify it at all. (Assume the user's Linux and Samba user names match.) 2) Suggestions / best practices of how to define a naming standard for all of the mount points for connections to various servers / shares? I have been considering: /mnt/servername/sharename Not exactly multi-user friendly. 2B) Since /home is on its own partition, can I mount Samba shares on that partition, or must the mount point reside on the root partition? Then my standard might become: ~/mnt/servername/sharename ;-) 3) Must I have a logoff script, or when Linux shuts down does it take care of properly ending connections? 4) Is there an equivalent of doing a domain style logon to a Samba PDC from a Linux / Samba client that will run some sort of logon script? If so, then please explain how. Currently we set: [global] logon script = LOGON.BAT logon drive = I: logon path = Thus LOGON.BAT is the name of the script, and the path being set to null disables roaming profiles.

Greetings List- It has been a long weekend... we have tried many things. It seems something is up with the 3.0.24-1 and -2 packages for Debian Etch that Debian put out. We installed the old hard drive in the mobile test server (aka ThinkPad) which still had Debian Sarge on it. Purged the Samba packages, and installed the packages of 3.0.24 from samba.org. Following the exact same steps, we end up with the expected permissions / memberships / etc... Also failing with the Etch server were assigning permission to a special user account for joining machines to the domain, and also assigning print admin permissions to the Domain Admin group. Those commands were successful with the Sarge hard drive. So, just a general heads up... something smelling fishy with Debian Etch.

Also, if I had configured Debian Etch not to use the root account, but sudo instead (Like the Ubuntu project) then how would that affect this condition? As far as I know, I would think that Samba would not be tricked into letting the user ID that is not literally root execute this command.

Debian Sarge OS Kernel 2.6.12-1-k7 Samba from samba.org 3.0.23d Backing up to a USB2 attached 500GB drive, formatted NTFS, on Win2K SP4. Mount the share using SMBFS, then proceed to backup using XFSDump as I run on XFS FS. Below is the output of one XFSDump command: /usr/sbin/xfsdump: using file dump (drive_simple) strategy /usr/sbin/xfsdump: version 2.2.27 (dump format 3.0) - Running single-threaded /usr/sbin/xfsdump: level 0 dump of ldslnx01:/srv /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dump date: Fri Nov 24 12:09:53 2006 /usr/sbin/xfsdump: session id: 982a8b46-4fe5-40c3-afc2-4a997e9c5d50 /usr/sbin/xfsdump: session label: data /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 1: parsing subtree selections /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 2: constructing initial dump list /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 3: pruning unneeded subtrees /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 4: estimating dump size /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map phase 5: skipping (only one dump stream) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ino map construction complete /usr/sbin/xfsdump: estimated dump size: 40211226560 bytes /usr/sbin/xfsdump: WARNING: no media label specified /usr/sbin/xfsdump: creating dump session media file 0 (media 0, file 0) /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dumping ino map /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dumping directories /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dumping non-directory files /usr/sbin/xfsdump: ending media file /usr/sbin/xfsdump: media file size 2147483647 bytes /usr/sbin/xfsdump: dump size (non-dir files) : 2130861096 bytes /usr/sbin/xfsdump: NOTE: dump interrupted: 609 seconds elapsed: may resume later using -R option /usr/sbin/xfsdump: Dump Status: INTERRUPT According to XFSDump, this backup should be around 40GB. The share actually has 55GB of data on it, according to Windows Explorer. Taking a shot in the dark that Samba might be the culprit as I have not relied on SMBFS for large file transfers before. All other technologies involved I have successfully created large (2GB) backups before. I would have rather dropped the USB2/FireWire card in the Linux server, but Debian Sarge failed to come up with the card installed... this this round-about way of backing up.

Rashkae wrote: No mystery here. smbfs is depricated and limited to 2GB. So what I bumped into was indeed the dreaded SMBFS. Indeed switched to CIFS, and STILL backing up! ;-) So having switched to CIFS, can I safely purge the SMBFS package I downloaded from samba.org?

[Samba] Re: DOS/Windows Archive bits, and file ownership
Hi Greg, If you want the DOS type attribute bits to be accurate, then your best bet is to have an EA supporting file system on the server (Such as XFS) and tell Samba to store the attributes in EA's vs trying to map them to Linux attributes. Per Mr. Allison's suggestion, I have added this to our global section recently... ;New things global to all shares for ACL support... map hidden = no map system = no map archive = no store dos attributes = yes So that might play a part in what you are trying to do. If other details come to mind, I will post again. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
