If your user-names are appearing in lowercase like DOMAIN-user that's because that's how they are defined in your NT domain. I'm not familiar with smbfax but I suggest following up further with the author (whoever is responsible for smbfax-html.pl) to fix their broken software if it is truly dependent on UPPERCASE USERNAMES, which seems unlikely to me.
That being said, if I try to chown DOMAIN-user to DOMAIN-USER, it still retains the same uid for winbind. It's not real clear from your description what's breaking, but I think you should follow up more with the authors of smbfax-html.pl who might have some insight into what the problem really is. ~ Daniel -----Original Message----- From: Di Vaio Gianluigi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 5:37 AM To: 'Andrew Bartlett' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: R: [Samba] 3rd POSTING: winbind mixcase DOMAIN+username??? Hallo Andrew, thanks for the answer (for the hints in particular, I'm new on samba mailing list), I'm working on a fax server based on the original implamentation of Pedro Fraile you can read all the particular here: http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue79/fraile.html The goal of "my" fax server implementation: Users authentication via samba/winbind/pam Automatic creation of the mailbox for the users of the domain (only for internal use with smbfax... because for corporete directive I can't connect sendmail to our exchange server! Then now I have [EMAIL PROTECTED]); Hylafax runs fine via command line (send-receive) and also for the incoming fax that are routed on the mailbox of the users configured in FaxDispatch as attached in PDF format; To send the fax I would use "smbfax" here a description of this software as described by the autor Craig Kelley: <<Allows users to "print" a document to a network printer. The Samba server then sends the document to smbfax, which prepares it (MyNOTE: smbfax create 2 files one of this its a temporary with .dat extension) and sends an e-mail to the owner inviting to complete the fax via a web interface. The user then clicks on the provided link, fills in the fax information (recipient, comment, coverpage options, etc.) and clicks on the "send" button.>> So I have created the printer "fax" as described in smbfax (plus with auto download and installation of the driver on the clients), then I can "print" the fax, I receive the message in the mailbox with the subject "complete your fax", follow the link and... Now my problem! Everytime the page with the form doesn't appear, but I received a webpage with this message: "Server Error! WIN2KDOMAINXUSERNAME1511nXnVPc.dat not owned by WIN2KDOMAIN-USERNAME"!!! I have checked that the right permissions are sets on the file "WIN2KDOMAINXUSERNAME1511nXnVPc.dat" but seems that the error is generated because in fact the user "WIN2KDOMAIN-username" have the Ownership of rwx on the temporary file and not the user "WIN2KDOMAIN-USERNAME"!!! Actually I have perl 5.6.1 installed... and this is the error log of apache: [Fri Nov 8 11:22:54 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) PHP/4.1.0 mod_perl/1.26 configured -- resuming normal operations [Fri Nov 8 11:22:54 2002] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [Fri Nov 8 11:22:54 2002] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) [Fri Nov 8 11:23:46 2002] smbfax-html.pl: WIN2KDOMAINXUSERNAME1511nXnVPc.dat not owned by WIN2KDOMAIN-USERNAME My linux distribution is a SuSE 8.0 with Samba 2.2.5 Please notice that I have exposed the problem to Mr. Kelley (autor of smbfax) and to Mr. Fraille (autor of the article on Linux Gazette), both 2 are very kind... Mr. Kelley suggest me to investigate on the winbind and Mr. Fraille (that runs into the same problem but solved it!) suggest me to add this line in smbfax-html.pl (that is the script that create the 2 files described up...) but seems that on my system all is ignored (why?): sub file_owner { my $file = shift; my @statent = stat($file) or return undef; my @pwent = getpwuid($statent[4]); # Put username in uppercase $pwent[0] =~ tr/[a-z]ñ/[A-Z]Ñ/; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ return $pwent[0]; } Sorry for the long mail, but its necessary to better explain my problem, the last step in the configuration of "my" fax server...

Show that you have not just been waiting for a reply, you have looked into the issue, read the archives and found no similar request. Finally, you state that you 'need' the username in upper case. I would first look into why that is the case, not why winbind should be changed (because changing current behavior could be quite painful, and isn't a short-term fix) Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.
