[Samba] Samba and Word 2000
Dear Sir/Madam, I am new to Samba (and this mailing list) so please forgive me if I breach protocol or ask a question that has already been answered. I am running Samba 2.2.3 on Red Hat 7.2 with Win XP work stations. Everything is working fine except for when I try to save a file from Word 2000 to a share on Samba. The file saves OK but will not re-open, I get the error message: The document name or path is not valid. Try these suggestions. Check the file permissions for the document or drive. Use the File Open dialog Box to locate the document. If I save the file to disk and copy it onto the Samba share there is no problem re-opening. Similarly if I save as a Word 6.0/95 document to a Samba share there is also no problem. There is no problem saving other Office files, only Word. I have noticed that if I look at the document properties from an XP workstation the documents that will not open have no "Summary" information whereas documents copied to Samba do. Any help that anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.

[Samba] PDC-BDC issue
Hi all, We are trying to set up a global domain for NT users, where the actual shares are stored on the backend with AFS (that part is done and works fine), and where multiple branch locations have access to this system. We are using Samba to serve the files to the desktops. To ensure that we can have a single big domain so anyone can login in any location as oneself (and see the same profile, etc), the PDC is located in the same central location as the AFS cell. Each branch is being set up with a BDC so that local authentication can be done against the domain and files can be served from the local Samba server, while still being able to maintain a global domain concept by the fact that all account management is done by the PDC anyway (since the BDC are read-only SAM instances). In theory this seems to be a sound concept, but it does not seem to work, and we are not sure why. Say the domain is DOMAIN. The PDC is located at IP 10.0.0.5, while two BDCs are 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.10.2. The PDC has os level 72, while the two BDCs have os level 67 and 66 respectively. The smbpasswd files are being rsync'd from the PDC to the BDCs, and the Unix users are stored in NIS, with the BDCs configured as NIS slave servers. What we are seeing is that when a machine is joining the domain, the trust account is being created on one of the BDCs rather than on the PDC. That seems to violate the concept that the BDC has a read-only version of the SAM information. So, the main questions are: - Is the setup that I describe here possible with Samba 2.2.3a (that is the version we are currently using), or with the most recent alpha version, or with the CVS version? - If it is possible, what is possibly wrong with our setup, causing NT workstations to cause trust accounts to be created directly on the BDC rather than on the PDC. Any help is very welcome! Kris PS: The BDCs are configured as 'wins support = no', 'wins proxy = yes', and 'wins server = 10.0.0.1'. The PDC has 'wins support = yes'. The BDCs are 'domain master = no', 'local master = no', 'preferred master = no', while the PDC has yes for those three settings. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] sharing printer without login?
If you are behind a separate hardware/other firewall, there really isn't a reason to have it up and running. As long as your internal security is satisfactory then each machine on an internal lan does not need a firewall. That is all I'm saying. If this machine is open to the world, then you'll want to find the rule that is blocking samba and remove that... Not all of them.

Re: [Samba] sharing printer without login?
Make sure you don't have the firewall blocking it. I had this problem a few days ago. Check ipchains to see if it is blocking. If you're behind a hardware or other firewall, you might want to get rid of it completely. Not totally sure if I have this command right, but I believe it's 'ipchains -D' to remove all of them...

ok, i set the global option: security = share then i have a share that looks like this: [cjb_music] comment = Chris' music path = /home/cjb/music read only = yes public = yes i can see the share in win2k and winxp, but when i double click on it, it says its inaccessable, network name not found. what am i overlooking? thanks, christopher On Tuesday 16 April 2002 06:48 am, Joel Hammer wrote: > This does what you want on my home network. > Joel > > [global] > security = SHARE > guest account = ftp > hosts allow = 192.168. 127.0.0.1 > > > [AllFiles] > comment = All Files > path = / > read only = no > guest ok = Yes > > [test] > comment = Filtered for Z53 > path = /tmp > read only = No > create mask = 0700 > guest ok = Yes > printable = Yes > printing = lprng > print command = /usr/bin/lpr -Ptest %s; rm %s > lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -Ptest > lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -Ptest %j > lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold test %j > lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc release test %j > > On Mon, Apr 15, 2002 at 04:26:30PM -0500, christopher j bottaro wrote: > > hello, > > i want to share a printer via samba to some win2k machines, but i don't > > want the win2k machines to have to login to some home dir. how do i > > accomplish this? also, i want to share some dir (i.e. > > /home/cjb/my_music) to the win2k machines with certain permissions, again > > without requiring the win2k machines to login. > > > > thanks for the help, > > christopher > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Problem Setting Up File Server
Hi all. I am trying to set up a RedHat 7.2 server to act as a windows file server using Samba and Winbind, the intent is to have NT Domain users be able to access the server based upon NT Domain permissions. I am using Kernel 2.4.18, I installed the ACL and EA patch 0.8.5 and Samba 2.2.3a. I configured Samba with the following configure command. ../configure --with-winbind --prefix=/usr/local/samba --with-smbwrapper --wit h-pam --with-pam_smbpass --with-msdfs --with-acl-support. My smb.conf file is [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = KIWI server string = Samba File Server encrypt password = Yes password server = * log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m\ max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUFF=8192 os level = 60 local master = No domain master = False dns proxy = no wins server = 10.0.0.23 winbind uid = 1-2 winbind guid = 1-2 winbind separator = + winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes load printers = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap printing = lprng template shell = /bin/bash [public] path = /home/public writable = yes comment = Public Stuff public = yes guest ok = Yes read only = no I have the computer showing up in network neighborhood on my NT machine. If use the command /usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u it shows all of my NT Domain users in the following format DOMAIN+user. When I connect to the linux server from a nt workstation and I type /usr/local/samba/bin/smbstatus it returns the following Samba Version 2.2.3a Service uid guid pid machine public nobody nobody 6522 p112297 (10.0.0.152) Tue Apr 16 15:32:29 2002 IPC$ nobody nobody 6522 p112297 (10.0.0.152) Tue Apr 16 15:32:29 2002 I was using a TechRepublic article to do the setup.

[Samba] Canon ImageRUNNER 600, Samba and LPRng
Hi everyone, A few days ago, on the LPRng mailing list, I posted a weird problem with our Canon ImageRUNNER 600 and LPRng... turns out it's not a problem with LPRng... rather, it's an issue with a slightly-misleading option for Samba printers, and a bug with Canon's PCL processor. In Samba, you have the option to say "Postscript = Yes", which doesn't mean "This is a postscript printer" but rather "this printer takes postscript all the time, so please add "%!" to the beginning of all jobs to it!" HP Printers are smart enough to see the PCL code in the job and go "Oh gee--this isn't really postscript... we'll just process it with PCL..." The Canon goes "Oh--oops--here's a %!.. must be plaintext cuz there's an Escape and some PCL.. I'll just print the "%!" and a pagefeed" So mystery solved... hopefully this will help others out there with the Canon ImageRUNNER class copiers--and Samba guys--can you change that option to say "Force Postscript"? *duck&run* :)) Thanks everyone! And thanks to Patrick Powell for the phone call today which put us on the right track to find the issue! :) I'm more than grateful for all the help and suggestions I get off of these two lists!

[Samba] Clearing uploaded printer drivers (APW)
Title: Message Greetings, I'm having some problems adding client printer drivers to a 2.2debian-2 Samba server via a Win2k client and the Add Printers Wizard. I had manually added one driver set (Generic Adobe Postscript) and then manually removed the same (copying all relevant files to /etc/samba/drivers (and then deleting them) on Debian potato). Then, I tried to use the OEM drivers (Samsung 1650 PCL 6), but I suspect I may have done it incorrectly. Upon subsequent attempts (after deleting all the files from the .../drivers/W32X86 directory), I am still unable to successfully upload drivers. I have a suspicion that there remain some entries regarding my failed uploads in a .tdb file or some such (perhaps the ntdrivers.tdb or ntprinters.tdb in my /var/state/samba directory?). My question is: Can I safely delete these files (or some others) to force smbd to refresh its cached printer drivers database? Is there any way to be sure that no remnants linger from past driver sets? I have the following suspicious lines from my smbd logfile (they are out of context, but hopefully meaningful): yield_connection: tdb_delete for name failed with error Record does not existAnd also: close_printer_handle: Invalid handle (OTHER) Now, I can see that files are being uploaded into the .../drivers/W32X86 directory, but they are not successfully being served out.

[Samba] Windows XP & 2K file properties reports 0 used space on the mapped drive
Hello, all, My first time posting here but I've read a lot of old messages. I've also searched the web and samba docs and did not find anything helping me. The problem I have is that after mapping a drive from Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 server, the file property of the drive says I have used 0 bytes on the drive, which is totally not true. The total disk space is correct. However, mapping the same share from Win98 works fine. My server is Samba 2.2.3a, installed on FreeBSD 4.5 (stable). I also tried install on FreeBSD 5.0 and have the same problem. Using "dfree command" doesn't change the results. I tried using "debug level =20", which produced a lot of files of network packages I can't read. The info in the log file doesn't help either. I also tried using "network monitor" on Win2K but did not get a clue from the results. (One thing from network monitor on Win2k: it appears that Win2k is trying to create a file \Desktop.ini on the share and failed.) So please give me a hint of what is wrong. I am suspecting that it's the communication between the server and client, but it is not listed as a known bug. -Chere My config is as following: -- [global] coding system = client code page = 850 code page directory = /usr/local/etc/codepages workgroup = ISILON netbios name = netbios aliases = netbios scope = server string = Isilon Server interfaces = bind interfaces only = No security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = No allow trusted domains = Yes hosts equiv = min passwd length = 6 map to guest = Never null passwords = No obey pam restrictions = No password server = smb passwd file = /usr/local/private/smbpasswd root directory = pam password change = No passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd passwd chat = *\n*ew\spassword* %n\n *ew\spassword* %n\n *updating\sthe\sdatabase...\npasswd:\sdone\n passwd chat debug = No username map = password level = 0 username level = 0 unix password sync = No restrict anonymous = No lanman auth = Yes use rhosts = No log level = 2 syslog = 1 syslog only = No log file = /var/log/samba.log max log size = 500 timestamp logs = Yes debug hires timestamp = No debug pid = No debug uid = No protocol = NT1 large readwrite = Yes max protocol = NT1 min protocol = CORE read bmpx = No read raw = Yes write raw = Yes nt smb support = Yes nt pipe support = Yes announce version = 4.5 announce as = NT max mux = 50 max xmit = 65535 name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast max packet = 65535 max ttl = 259200 max wins ttl = 518400 min wins ttl = 21600 time server = No unix extensions = No change notify timeout = 3000 deadtime = 0 getwd cache = Yes keepalive = 300 lpq cache time = 10 max smbd processes = 0 max disk size = 0 max open files = 1 read size = 65536 socket options = TCP_NODELAY stat cache size = 50 use mmap = Yes total print jobs = 0 load printers = Yes printcap name = /etc/printcap disable spoolss = No enumports command = addprinter command = deleteprinter command = show add printer wizard = Yes os2 driver map = strip dot = No character set = mangled stack = 50 stat cache = Yes domain admin group = domain guest group = machine password timeout = 604800 add user script = delete user script = logon script = logon path = \\%N\%U\profile logon drive = logon home = \\%N\%U domain logons = No os level = 20 lm announce = Auto lm interval = 60 preferred master = Auto local master = Yes domain master = Auto browse list = Yes enhanced browsing = Yes dns proxy = No wins proxy = No wins server = wins support = Yes wins hook = kernel oplocks = Yes oplock break wait time = 0 add share command = change share command = delete share command = config file = preload = lock dir = /var/lock pidfile dir = /var/run default service = message command = dfree command = /usr/local/private/dfree.sh valid chars = remote announce = remote browse sync = socket address = 0.0.0.0 homedir map = time offset = 0

RE: [Samba] Fwd: Strange Problem with Access
After much frustration, I am pleased to say that I have narrowed the problem I was experiencing to what I believe to be a bug in either the Microsoft Jet Engine, or Microsoft networking itself. I have found that if I move the database to a windows machine with a shared drive, I get the same error message. Therefore this proves that there is no problem with the samba server. I apologize for wasting all your time with this, when it was a bug in Microsoft's product all along. I should have checked the obvious before assuming the problem was more complex than it really was. So, I have concluded that Samba is working perfectly fine, and a much better product than anything Microsoft has ever produced.

[Samba] Making Samba a member of NT security domain fails - why?
I am following 2.5.2 in the Samba-howto-collection in an attempt to make my Samba server part of my NT security domain. I have Samba 2.2.3 on Slack 8.0 (2.2.19). The smb.conf is as follows: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/04/16 14:20:05 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = LFRG-TLH netbios name = HUMPHRY server string = Samba 2.2.3 security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes min passwd length = 0 null passwords = Yes password server = * [print$] path = /usr/local/samba/printers guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print command = /usr/bin/lpr -r %s printer name = lp [test] comment = For testing only please path = /export/samba/test [homes] read only = No I've added a machine account for "humphry". I've executed: smbpasswd -r tlh-file-print -j lfrg-tlh (the pdc and domain names) but get the following error: cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine TLH-FILE-PRINT.

Is it working? How it > get info from the PC's? Unfortunately the script itself is not what is doing the real work. When someone logs onto the NT machine, a drive is mapped the startup script runs a commercial package (Track-It! 4.0) on the client, which then pushes the information onto the NT PDC. This solution has a few problems: The script only runs when users log into the PDC. Some users never turn off their computers, so the script never gets run. Also, some users have not been set up to log into the PDC, and instead they log into their own PC's. A better solution would be to allow an update of installed software upon demand, but that solution was much more costly ($4000 as opposed to about $400). I wouldn't recommend the current solution we're using, since there's no way of guaranteeing that the information required gets gathered in a timely manner. - Chris Chris Knadle [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Authentication Problem
Ok, sorry folks, but here I am again: I installed samba2.2.3a on a suse 7.3 and everything (well, I tried an 'everybody' share and it's ok) works fine until it comes to winbind et al. The very first thing that's supposed to be tested is the wbinfo -g or -u. It tells me 'Error looking up domain users'. The winbindd logfile states '002c status: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED'. The server I want to authenticate against is w2k server sp2. The security log on the w2k server shows anonymous_authentication failed 'MAX_REACHED' (I translated this, in german it's 'MAX_ERLAUBT'. The effect is that I don't get a list of users in the domain and I cannot authenticate. The join process seems to have worked, a MACHINE.SID and secrets.tdb have been created. - | Peter Koch Schlund & Partner AG | | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Erbprinzenstr. 4-12 | | T. 0721-91374-687 D-76133 Karlsruhe | | F. 0721-91374-20 | - -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] pam_smbpasswd+ldap versus smbd+ldap problem
Hi, I downloaded a few minutes ago the latest 2.2.4-pre from the CVS. Note that I haven't tried any previous version with the current setup. Here's what I am doing. I compiled 2.2.4-pre with : ./configure --without-winbind --with-acl-support --with-utmp --with-syslog --with-pam --with-automount --with-pam_smbpass --with-ldapsam After installing the PAM module under Solaris 8, I am able to use the "migrate" option for the module as well as authentication using the ntPassword attribute from the LDAP server. So far so good! Now the problem... With Samba, it doesn't work at all. It keeps on saying : NT MD4 password check failed for no reason!!! I know the password in the LDAP is good.

RE: [Samba] CIFS & SMB Microsoft licenses
This is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard. How on earth are they going to prove that someone ever read something that was publicly available. Especially when SMB is such a widely understood protocol. I don't think this is targeted towards samba per se, as much as microsofts huge customers that bring them their bread and lard. Hey corporate CIO, don't you dare or else Monopolies always attempt to maintain their monopolies. These guys are no different than standard oil and ma bell. If anything they are much worse, in that after losing 4 times, they still keep doing the same thing. The only way to fight this is to deprive them of their client plaform.

A redhat install typically expects samba in places where just running "./configure" without options will not place the files. This isn't really the fault of samba or redhat, it's just "different". If you use the redhat rpm, it will put everything where redhat likes it to go, even putting in the smb /etc/init.d/smb file in for you. So I would delete your samba stuff and just get the rpm unless you HAVE to have something that's not compiled into the rpm, which is unlikely unless you're running LDAP or something, which would be amazing since you say you're new to linux. :) So to wrap it up, RPM = good for beginners, .TAR.GZ = good if you're masochistic or need something not compiled in by default. -Original Message-From: Scott Dunn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2002 12:58 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [Samba] installation question Hello, I am new to linux and samba.

[Samba] Microsoft - The settlement that isn't
Antitrust Division, U.S. D.O.J. We the people, in order to promote fair opportunity for competition in the computer software and operating system markets, want to know why Microsoft is allowed to continue is predatory practices within the software market. Of greatest concern is Microsoft's continued ability to eliminate competition and harm consumers who choose Linux as a competitior to Microsoft. The following article by Bruce Perens exemplifies our complaint that Microsoft is still able to harm competition and consumers with its practices. The issues contained within the article deserve your departments consideration and special attention. Mr. Perens article follow below the signature. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN * BERTIN, PLLC 1329 N. University, Suite D4 Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 (936) 715-9333 (936) 715-9339 fax The Microsoft penalty that isn't By Bruce Perens April 15, 2002, 12:00 PM PT In its antitrust settlement with the Justice Department and nine states, Microsoft promised to publish technology that would allow competing products to interoperate with Windows. But Microsoft has sidestepped the penalty by crafting a technology license that excludes the company's only viable competitor. Linux, which was described by Windows Division Vice President Brian Valentine as the long-term threat against Microsoft's core business, is banned from interoperating with its common Internet file system, otherwise known as Windows File and Printer Sharing. The Microsoft license specifically excludes software under the General Public License, commonly known as the GPL. The GPL is the software license used by Linux and by SAMBA, a popular open-source program that allows non-Microsoft systems to share files and printers with Windows. Microsoft has also banned software under the Lesser General Public License, or LGPL. That license is used by the Mozilla Web browser, the GNOME graphical desktop, and many of the software libraries shipped with Linux. The GPL and LGPL are the most popular licenses used for open-source software, and cover tens of thousands of free programs. A second Microsoft license on extensions used in Windows 2000 and Windows XP will require royalty payments, excluding all software produced by the open-source developer community. Because Microsoft has patented features of the file-sharing protocol, open-source developers who implement the protocol could be sued for infringement. Microsoft is likely to use this same license on future "standards," embedding patented features in the standards and excluding free software like Linux from use of the patents. While patented features in file sharing would handicap Linux from being able to exchange files over an office LAN (local area network), similar future efforts could ban open-source tools like OpenOffice and AbiWord from operating with documents created using Microsoft Office, and Web browsers like Mozilla from viewing Web sites produced with Microsoft software. It's the share-and-share-alike provision of the GPL that Microsoft can't accept--the requirement that modified versions of software under the license be available for anyone to further distribute and modify. But this is the aspect of the license that made Linux a threat to Microsoft while even the mighty IBM could not dent Microsoft's monopoly with its OS/2 operating system. The GPL, brainchild of MacArthur "genius" grant recipient Richard Stallman and his GNU Project, creates a fair partnership among many thousands of independent software developers that is difficult for Microsoft to swallow. Microsoft previously responded by influencing government and universities to choose weaker OS licenses that lack the share-and-share-alike provision. Because Microsoft can make proprietary and patented enhancements to software under the weaker licenses, it can apply its embrace-and-enhance strategy: Microsoft introduces incompatibility into the Microsoft version of the software, and forces the public version of the software out of the market because it won't interoperate with the Windows version. Only a vendor that dominates the market could use such a strategy to maintain its monopoly. The GPL-licensed Linux system is the only one that has been able to make a dent in that monopoly. Microsoft executives justify their position with the mantra, "We are for strong intellectual-property protection." But only when it's to Microsoft's advantage; otherwise, Microsoft wouldn't be pressuring others to weaken their open-source licensing. Even during the penalty phase of their antitrust prosecution, the company still can't settle for a piece of the software industry pie. Although Microsoft's compromise with the U.S. Department of Justice is crafted to make it seem that a competitor could enter, it still leaves Microsoft owning the whole pie. This situation also illustrates the dichotomy of software patents versus copyr

[Samba] why do i have so much trouble accessing an nt box?
I have, on my desk, a FreeBSD-4.5 box and a NT4 box, connected to a kvm switch, and ethernet. I have samba installed and working correctly, and using XFSamba I can see the shares on the NT box. No matter how I set the permissions on the NT box shared folders, I get access denied when trying to access those shares from the FreeBSD box. I also have a printer connected to the FreeBSD box, works great. I can see the printer in the NT Network Neighborhood, but cannot get anything to print to it from NT, I get access denied on the NT box. On the NT box in network neighborhood I can see and access files on the FreeBSD box without any problems. I have had no problems with any of this stuff when using FreeBSD and win95 or win98, only with NT. I do have encrypt passwords = yes set in smb.conf. I am using Samba-2.2.2_3.

[Samba] users.map break ability for win users to use samba shares?
Hello: Please excuse for long explanation: I have Sun 2.6 with Samba 2.2.2 to share directories on Solaris box for Windows users. They are authorized by NT domain. For Win users to access to shared Unix shared directories I set up (through SWAM): Security Option - DOMAIN, valid users - @group1 @group2 @group3, without users.map I created locked Unix users with names equivalent their names on NT domain. Windows users could access their Samba shares no problems. But one Win User has its username longer than 8 characters (verylonguser) which is not accepted by Solaris. So, I created equivalent of this user on Unix with 8 letters username (longuser), added to [global] entry users map users.map and created users.map file with entry longuser = verylonguser. When I commit the change, this user could use its share on Samba, but all other users on Network could not. And what is worse, when I took the users.map out of smb.conf and commit once more the users still cannot connect (they are asked for password, which is denied. Pleaseeese, advice. Note: Is winbind needed? I could not find service winbind anywhere? Joseph Joseph Abramson, TAC worldwide Companies [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you very much. JA
[Samba] Samba to NFS gateway; incorrect mounted space shown on clients
Greetings - and hats off to the Samba coders. ;-) You guys are awesome. Likewise I would like to thank the entire open source community for your hard work, generosity, and for their tolerance. :-/ For those in a rush to want to know what the interesting problem is, skip down to the heading "The Problem:" at the end of the e-mail. Then come back and read the rest if you're interested. (Yes, I know I'm verbose - as the saying goes, if I had time I'd write a shorter letter.) What we're doing: We've got a machine running Samba 2.2.3a which is acting both as a PDC for XP machines _as well as_ acting as an SMB <--> NFS gateway. (I.E. Windows file sharing of nfs automounted directories). Yes, we've gotten that all working. No, it wasn't easy. It's a RedHat 7.2 machine running a stock kernel, but has been updated with Samba 2.2.3a. In brief, the network diagram looks something like this: (Note: this diagram was made in a console text editor) UNIX NFS machines Samba machine Windows clients nfs1 ---\ /- client1 \/ nfs2 -\ /--- client2 \ Samba ---/ nfs_automounter -/ eth0 eth1\ client3 / \ nfs3 /\-- client4 / \ nfs4 --/\ client5 . . . . . . Why we did this: 1. We were dumb and started using Windows XP for clients, not realizing that the nfs client programs that we bought did not support Windows XP. Upon further investigation, none of the nfs clients support automounting, which sucks. 2. We're cheap. We run a tight budget, and we just don't have the funds available to buy nfs clients at $120 a pop for all the machines. 3. Integration considerations. We wanted a single way to deal with all the Windows clients regardless of OS type. Right now we've got many different nfs clients being used (Solstice, WRQ, and Hummingbird) and none of them do everything on all versions of Windows. 4. Ease of install. With this Samba solution, there is no need to install any software on each client to get access to file shares. 5. Peace of mind. It's free software, there are no licenses to have to worry about. 6. Support. Yes I said support. Of the commercial vendors we deal with, we have many that won't bother to return a phone call until a week or so later. By then we've either worked it out for ourselves or we got somebody we knew to do help. The open source community has more often than not been our solution for supporting our problems _anyway_. ;-) What's working: - The user's home directories are mounted through nfs automount, and that seems to work (for the most part), even though the actual location of the nfs share may be on one of 5 machines, yet it appears that all users are under /home. - The Samba machine is able to be a Primary Domain Controller, even for XP machines. Unfortunately we're probably not going to use this capacity due to the requirement for automatic failover to a BDC. In addition, we're not really using the PDC for authentication purposes anyway, so it might not matter in our case. The main thing we're getting out of the PDC is the ability to run a script upon login to track installed software on PC's. - We've set up two interfaces on the Samba machine with a firewall to try to separate smb requests from nfs requests, which seems to be working satisfactorily. - The box has got software root raid with the ability to boot up on both drives. Installing grub on both drives to allow for bootup on both drives was a bit tricky. - We set up a cool text "dashboard" which uses splitvt to split the terminal window up _three_ ways (ran splitvt, in the upper window ran splitvt again.) The bottom window runs top, the uppermost window runs sar to show network bandwidth information, the middle window shows raid status. We used the 'open' command to run the script in an unused tty at boot time without a login. The problem: - The Samba machine seems to report the incorrect amount of free space to Windows clients on some NFS shares, but reports correctly on others. I.E. Windows clients mount "drives" using the "net use" command, and when the free space is checked, some of the mounts show 20

I seem to remember having problems with shares after setting RestrictAnonymous=2. Setting it to 1 fixed the issues. RestrictAnonymous Values and their basic effect: 0 None. Rely on default permissions 1 Do not allow enumeration of SAM accounts and names 2 No access without explicit anonymous permissions The red X's are okay, I think; Win2k restores mapped drive links, but doesn't connect to them until you explicitly do so. This saves a lot of bandwidth by not handhaking idle mappings, and speeds up shutdown and sleeping by not having to handshake disconnections. It's actually a good thing, I think. Remember Win9x's hang on shutdown? That was due to mapped drive issues.

[Samba] Domain Users group problem in winbind
I'm running Samba 2.2.3a on Solaris 8, with winbind. I've managed to configure it so that I don't need local users anymore; the NT domain users can telnet in to the UNIX box without problem. Mounting Samba shares works just fine as well. One thing I've noticed is really turning out to be a stumbling block. If a user telnets to a UNIX box using his NT domain account (DOMAIN+userid), winbind appears to assign him the group DOMAIN+Domain Users. Now, if that user tries to create a file, but DOMAIN+Domain Users doesn't have write permission on the directory, the file creation fails. For example, let's say that the user is in directory testdir. That directory has an owner of DOMAIN+otheruser, a group of DOMAIN+somegroup, and permissions of 775. Assume also that DOMAIN+userid is a member of DOMAIN+somegroup. The user can't create files in that directory unless he uses the UNIX 'group' command to change his group to DOMAIN+somegroup. If I change the permissions on the directory to 777, then any file created by the user gets assigned a group of DOMAIN+Domain Users. Am I missing something here?

[Samba] DFS and MS explorer
Greetings ! We are currently testing samba together with DFS. All is working fine with one exception: From time to time (but too often) the user gets the message "n:\bla\path\to\somewhere isn't available. The directory has been moved or deleted." when accessing a directory with the explorer. The message above is translated from german, therefore the original english message might look a little bit different. I know definitively that the above directory is still there: When clicking somewhere else and back into the corresponding directory explorer happily shows its content. OS: Linux with kernel 2.4.17, samba 2.2.3a Client: NT 4.0 SP6a and Win2K (with SP2, I think). Any hints ?

If Just an FYI: I've seen this "red X" occur on many different Windows machines connecting in a native Windows environment.

[Samba] Access denied when using samba as a profile server
Hi, I have been using samba for a long time, but since our windows 2000 machine are becoming unreliable (fileserver problems). I want to move users profiles onto our UNIX/SAMBA server.

I.e. unable to copy \\UNIXhost\user\winntpro\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\brndlog.txt to C:\Document and Settings\user\winntpro\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\brndlog.txt.

Re:[Samba] ARGH!!! Samba and Re-installing Windows 2000
Dont know if this can solve you problem the description i have found was for
NT4 maybee
it is the same problem with Windows 2000. I hope this could solve your
problem
Greetings Rafael
Support knowledgebase (samba_crypt)
Symptom:
>From version NT4.0 NT works with encrypted passwords. While NT4.0 still
works with plaintext passwords (as fallback) NT4.0 incl. servicepack refuses
to work (you may recognize this behaviour by repeating entering the login
and the password a couple of times. Then you will be able to mount a share).
(more on this topic in /usr/doc/packages/samba/ ENCRYPTION.txt).
Solution:
Well, either you may convince NT via its Windows registry to use plaintext
passwords
There is a script in the samba source package called mksmbpasswd.sh. This is
for creating a "special" password file out of the existing one.
mksmbpasswd.sh:
#!/bin/sh
awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"
printf("#\n# SMB password file.\n#\n")
}
{ printf(
"%s:%s:::%s:
%s:%s\n", $1, $3, $5, $6, $7) }
'
Example:
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd, or
ypcat passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd on a NIS server, or client,
respectively.
Thereafter you have to set the permissions of this file: chmod 600
/etc/smbpasswd.
Furthermore be aware that /etc/smbpasswd has been set by default by S.u.S.E.
Well, after a /etc/smbpasswd has been generated a password a user has to be
created. This is done by smbpasswd. If any user may do this the SETUID bit
has to be set (chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbpasswd). Otherwise only root will be
able to change passwords.
Now you have to extend /etc/smb.conf (in global section):
encrypt passwords = yes
If there is more than one samba machine attached it is not necessary to do
so on every machine. Samba is able to get the passwords from another machine
be it an NT server or some other host. To activate this switch you will have
to enter the following lines in the global section:
security = server
password server = YOURSERVER
Make sure that 'YOURSERVER' is the NetBIOS name of the server (NetBIOS and
DNS may differ). NetBIOS names are restricted to a maximum of 15 letters. Of
course you may not enter the options given above on the server itself. This
would create an endless loop.
Important:
Please use an actual samba version (at least ersion 1.9.18p2)!
