Raj, just look at these discussions on freeipa users mailing list:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2009-January/msg0.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2008-December/msg00035.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2008-December/msg00031.html

Also, some thing like ipa-winsync is in works

Very keenly looking for developments in this area. I think we are pretty close.

How about just AD.  Can one mimic that using Linux, with all AD 
features?  Say we get rid of Samba 4 (which is not an option due to its 
development status), is it possible to just have Linux work as an AD 
server in a Winduhs environment with all the bells and whistles that AD 
provides?

Thanks, that's useful information to keep in mind once Samba 4 
stabilises (and if MS hasn't moved their proprietary extensions to 
another point by then ;)

If you use samba as PDC , kerberos isn't involved for authentication
it's samba that does the authentication stuff. In case of AD , AD uses
kerberos.

At this moment only samba4 (which I have configured) provides everything
that is a samba server , a kerberos server (hacked hemidal) and it's own
LDAP server (though other LDAP servers can be used , requires lot of
hacking at the moment).

Hi,

The only way out is samba4 that is complete AD replacement in Linux. And
also look into freeipa though it doesn't provide lot of AD functionality
but after samba4 integration within freeipa definitely it will.

Also note that samba4 is in alpha stage as of now.

If you are using samba only for windows domain authentication(and/or
file/print sharing), then it will be fine. If you want further
services like some access controls (eg. disabling client PCs USB
ports), samba will not be useful.

Take a look at Samba 4, feature set includes Domain Controller, Active 
Directory.

No personal experience with it though.

Yes it is possible. Samba can act as domain controller. There is documentation 
on Samba web site.

No, don't need both, Secondary is a backup of primary in case primary became 
unavailable for some reason.

I have used Winbind (part of Samba) and Kerberos encryption to authenticate 
Linux box with Windows AD server (documents on Samba web site) but should be 
possible to do it with OpenLDAP.

Siju George (Hifx IT and Media Services Private Limited, Cochin,
http://www.hifx.net) has implemented Samba based PDCs. Their network
consists of Microsoft Windows, GNU/linux and BSD boxes. Hifx also
sells Samba based Domain controller solutions.

 Siju would be the best person to guide you on this. I can pass you
his contact email address and phone number off list.

As far as I know once you configure Samba as a PDC, you don't need any
AD server.  I am not sure on the encryption part. Integration with
OpenLDAP is certainly possible.

[ilugd] Samba, AD and Windows clients

[Raj Mathur]

Hi,

Is it possible to completely replace the active directory and primary 
and secondary domain controllers in a Winduhs network with one or more 
Linux boxes?

Excuse my vast ignorance of Winduhs, but do you need both a PDC and AD, 
or are they mutually exclusive?  How about encryption and stuff?  And 
integration with OpenLDAP?

Pointers, references welcome.

Yes, Samba-Vscan was the first option I tried.  It didn't compile at all 
on FC7 with Samba 3.0.28a sources, and in any case its web site says 
it's a proof of concept.  I'm looking for something a bit more robust.

Could you plumb in something based on / around inotify ? I presume the

[ilugd] Samba + anti-virus

[Raj Mathur]

A client is running a few hundred Winduhs PCs in his office, with 3 
Linux FC Samba servers.  Facing tons of problems with viruses on the 
shares, so we're looking for a Samba+Anti-virus solution.

1. Investigated Samba-VScan and Scannedonly.  Both are totally alpha, 
and both refuse to compile against the Samba 3.0.28a sources.  Knocked 
out at the starting gate itself.

2. Need to investigate an IDS (Snort) running in conjunction with Samba.  
Has anyone tried (or heard of) this as a Samba anti-virus solution?

3. Any other possibility (apart from switching the desktops to Linux, 
which is currently not feasible)?

[ilugd] Samba Mount Problem

[Vijay Thakur]

Dear Tux Friends,

I am migration a MS Windows 2000 file server to OpenSuse 10.3. In the current 
working scenerio, there is one directory on Windows Server named "Common" with 
two shared directories 1) Inter Department 2) Intra Department 

This will will help to understand the directory structure:

===>> Common-> Inter Department
-> Intra Department

>> Intra Department -> Service Department, Tender, Exports, Accounts, 
Customer Care,Logistics

>> Inter Department -> Tender, Exports, Accounts, Logistics

On the client end in Opensuse 10.3, I am mount these Win 2000 share by giving 
the command:

//192.168.0.141/Common/Intra Department/Service Department  /test cifs 
username=jackob,password=12345678

This is saying that share does not exist. 

And this is working fine, but not  my exact requirement:-

//192.168.0.141/Common /test cifs username=jackob,password=12345678

I'm not sure, if Nautilus mounted it in filesystem somewhere. It can

[ilugd] Samba Share mount point

[Vijay Thakur]

Dear Friends,

I have a running Samba Server on OpenSuse 10.3. On the client side i am 
accessing these samba share by using: nautilus --> File --> Connect to server. 
After filling the information in the dialog boxes i am able to access the 
shared files and folder. The share name is visible in the one side of the pane. 
What when i am trying to attach a file to my e-mails reside on samba server 
then the share location is not accessible. Will any body tell me that where is 
mount point of the share.

[ilugd] Samba PDC permission issues

[Openlx Linux]

Hello List,

I have created a setup consisting of :

1. Samba-PDC server running Centos Linux 4.4, 32 bit, Samba version
3.0.9.1.3E.10, named A

2. This server is joined by three Samba workstations running Centos
Linux 4.4, 32 bit, Samba version 3.0.9.1.3E.10, Named B, C & D.

The workstations (B, C & D) are authenticated by PDC (A). There are
Unix groups on PDC which are converted to NT-groups on A (PDC), using
the command :
# net groupmap add ntgroup="group-name" unixgroup="group-name" type=d

The 3 workstations share files that are given group-wise ACL permissions.

When I join the workstations to the PDC server through authconfig
command, the workstation is shown as joined.

When I use the command "getent -g" , it does not show the PDC group.
It shows the groups of the local workstation only.

The ACL permissions are not working. I am using the command :
# setfacl -m g:DOMAIN\\groups:rwx /foldername

I get the error message :  setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3

I seem to be missing something, because, on completing the setup, this
worked for 4 hours and then stopped. The log message, at error time,
started showing this message :

===error message on PDC (A) server==

The workstations (B, C & D) have same OS, samba and configurations.
The workstations B & D are working fine, whereas the C is giving the error.

Any ideas to resolve the issue will be helpful and I will be grateful.

hey,

May be "smbstatus" gives you the details you want.


smbstatus

Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E
PID Username  Group Machine

Service  pid machine   Connected at

I haven't configured the samba on my system so the result is empty on my
system. You can try this command on your system and see the result.

see in Right click on "my computer" and go to "manage" and see "shares" you
will see "sessions" and "open files" so like this any option in samba server

Just for archiving purposes:

Well answer is automounter;. Here is my auto.master and auto.smb
/etc/auto.master includes

/data/share /etc/auto.smb   --timeout=60

/etc/auto.smb includes

uploads  
-fstype=smbfs,username=Administrator,password=xxx,uid=user,gid=ftpusers
://hostname/uploads

It works great, thank to all those who replied.
Cheers!

You could have better adminsitration in ideal cases but  i have been 
very annoyed with this fstab/vfstab which screams loud when your nfs 
server is down.
my both the boxes are away i can't quit if nfs server is down..and its 
waiting indefinite to server to come up, anyway

is the hard mount option by default? if yes then it does't seems to be 
working with smbfs beacuse when problem occurs of  hanging i just umount 
and mount again it becomes fine...
googling & gllug  have suggests to have autofs should work ..with some 
problem at  some cases.

Firstly put it under /etc/fstab - you have better control over the
mounting and unmounting process including unmounting shares while
shuttign down.

Secondly I think your problem stems from the fact that smbfs like nfs
will retry indefinitely if a share becomes unavilable - this can have
serious implications on the server. The way around is to understand how
the hard and soft mount options works. Read the details under the nfs
section in mount and decide which one is more important. Remember hard
mount is the default and that is what you would usually want unless
your apps really know how to handle unrealible network file systems.

hey,

If your shares are static then you can add entries in /etc/fstab for these
shares

for example

//server/backup (windows machine)/mnt/backup(linux mount
point)cifs
  credentails=/etc/.smb,uid=xx,gid=xxx   0 0


credentials=filename
  specifies a file that contains a username and/or password.
The
  format of the file is:

username=valueusername=ankush
password=valuepassword=ankush
  This  is  preferred  over  having  passwords  in plaintext in
a
  shared file, such as /etc/fstab. Be sure to protect any
creden-
  tials file properly.

Make sure /etc/.smb is 600 or 400


for more information regarding cifs"man mount.cifs"

[ilugd] Samba share woes!

[Yashpal Nagar]

Hi
We use smbmount to mount certain windows shares as by rc.local on a 
Redhat FC3 box as:
/bin/mount -t smbfs -o 
username=Administrator,password=xxx,uid=userid,gid=ftpusers 
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/share /data/share/ &
Now the problem is after sometime this get hanged due to either windows 
m/c gets rebooted or some time-out don't exactly know .
Is there any nice other way around to get sync again smb shares in such 
cases?

a automount dir for ftp home dir would work ? just guessing!?

[ilugd] Samba Access in FC2 or later

[Subhamoy Mukherjee]

  
Hi All,

I've installed FC2 (also tried with RHEL 4 Beta2 ) and configured samba . I can 
see all PCs in my domain and also from other domains in my LAN. But the problem 
is whenever I try to access the PCs (shared files) its giving an error :

You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Windows 
Network:" .  

This is hapenning for all Computers.
But I can access a Win'98 shared PC.
I tried to search for solutions on the net but only ended in finding mails 
asking for help for the same error. Some sites say that there is a "Add Network 
Place" option under "Computer" on Desktop but I couldn't find any such option.

If anybody faced similar problems and have any solution plz. help me.

hi
well i am not pro but i can try to answer your query
from the Samba-3 by example by John H. Terpstra. There
is a question answer section in the first chapter
which is:
Q. What is the significance of the guest accout in
smb,conf?
Ans. This parameter specifies the default UNIX account
to which MS windows networking NULL session
connections are mapped. The default name for the UNIX
account used for this mapping is called nobody. If the
UNIX/Linux system that is hosting Samba does not have
a nobody account and an alternate mapping has not been
specified, network browsing will not work at all.
It should be noted that the guest account is essential
to Samba operation. Either the operating system must
have an account called nobody or there must be an
entry is the smb.conf file with a valid UNIX accout.
For example, guest account = ftp.

Hope it will clear your doubts. Others comment are
welcome.

Thanks
sudeep

[ilugd] samba and guest account

[komal]

Hello

Please what is the purpose of guest account in samba .Is it same as windows
2000's Guest account? When I used smbclient -L \\share then I am asked for
password. I do not know which user is being used. Is guest ok=yes and
public=ok is same?

Thank you

Komal

Have a look at http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch10.html
for a step by step gudieline for sharing printers.
If you plan to adminster samba, then you should certainly buy
book "Using Samba, 2nd Edition" . You can even read the book online.

Lot of stuff is unclear

For one Windows XP is in workgroup mode or domain.

In case its domain mode, the domain controller has to register your file
server before you can serve to a domain.

Second - Did you test this setup on same machine using smbmount etc.

Third - You should reproduce the relevent log files from Samba. This
will give some idea one what is *really* happening.


There have been huge discussions on samba in this list and many others.
One can go through them for similar issues faced by other users

In case it still does'nt work, you can always get back :-)

Re. [ilugd] Samba Configuration

[Raj Shekhar]

but the machine does not shows up in winxp m/c network. although i am able
to ping each one from the other.

Not that easy. You will now have to create machine trust accounts for every 
machine that needs to access this server, and user accounts for those who 
want to access this server. 
After the changes Subodh has made to smb.conf file, the samba server 
should start showing up in the network neighborhood. The users may not 
be able to access files.

- Check whether you have a firewall blocking the connections to the 
samba server.

- Check if you can see other PCs of the network from your samba server. 
For example, if you have a windows system with netbios name of "CRASHER" 
then run the command ``nmblookup CRASHER`` from your samba server. It 
should  give you the IP address of CRASHER.

- from CRASHER try accessing your smaba server directly by typing 
"\\SAMBA_SERVER_NAME" and report back the error message you get.

- Check the samba log files.
Lastly, please do not hijack threads. If you see 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi/6043 .. you will 
find that your mail has been filed under "Hungama time" . I have started 
a new thread for you, please use it for further discussion.

Below is an explanation how threading works.

   To start a new topic of discussion (commonly called a `thread'),
compose a new message.  Hit the "Write new message" button (or whatever
button your client uses).  Type in the address of the mailing list as
the To address.  This is the only way to actually start a new thread.
   Always start a new thread instead of taking an already ongoing one,
changing the subject line and posting it again. The subject line is
only loosely related to the threading.  Every mail message has a
message-id.  When you "reply" or "followup" to a message, you client is
supposed to put a References header with the message-id of the message
you are replying to.
   If you use an existing thread, the result is that your question is
buried below unrelated questions when looking at the mailing list in a
threaded way. This is known as `Hijacking threads'. It causes
information to be lost and you'll be less likely to get an answer.

True.  I am not asking that it should have figured out if its newlines
should appear above or below a comment.  What I was cheesed about was what I
said above: it did not backup the file, it gave no warning.  I know it was
my fault, but I partially blame the program for not adhering to the

But isnt this the same with any frontend/shell to an existing program?

One has to make a consistent decision while using any GUI frontends 
which edit the same config file that you can edit manually - either use 
the GUI all the time or edit the config file manually all the time. I 
personally do both - I use GUI the first time to create a template, and 
then consistently *allways* manually edit them.

Comments are for humans; if you decide to use an automated/GUI frontend, 
you have to sacrifice that unless the GUI allows you to make contextual 
comments to options.

The connection between comments and the option that it is related to is 
very subjective - I can make a global comment somewhere or a comment on 
the next option in the file. Say you add an additional option to the 
configuration - Where will the UI put a new option line without 
disturbing the comment context? Too difficult, not reliable and not 
worth the trouble when all you want is to create an UI for users to add 
option reliably.

It is virtually unthinkable to ever make an UI which can reliably handle 
preserving comments to options.

Samba will good enuf for you if you can't go for ftp based sharin since

The solutions goes simple. Let them use SAmba to Share files with

Anyway for non techies sharing files you can use webmin to configure 
both NFS  and SAmba so swat won' be needed.
If you are bent on using samba no prob it will work fine since the users 
will no be accessing the files directly.
But Remember one thing if you want users to be able to give the users 
access of creating and deleteing shaes you will need to give them root 
access which is not  a good idea for non-techies specially.
So better is you create the shares on every maching manually or through 
webmin, but once down coninue with the same method everytime , and if 
you use a gui well leave some documentaion fr the next guy so he can

Because it's incomplete.  You can make manual edit changes in
smb.conf, and then run Swat and if Swat doesn't understand those
changes it'll just happily delete them.  It'll also delete any
comments that you put in your smb.conf to make it more readable to the
next person who comes along to maintain Samba in your organisation.

Make a public directory in someplace like /home/public
As su "chmod 777 /home/public"
Any user then can make a folder / file in this directory AND can also
set up the permissions for others with simple right click and properties
or "chmod 770 /home/public/xyz" or other appropriate permissions 750 740
or even 700 for not sharing.
If the groups are already created the he can also right click properties
and change group or run "chown user:group /home/public/xyz" Sharing with
a single other user can be achieved by "chown user:user2
/home/public/xyz" as all users have their individual groups created.
Should be working without having to setup through swat / webmin.

Another plus point about NFS is that you can browse it using Konqueror 
by typing lan:// (again I have not tried this out myself, since I get my 
work done with Samba and not NFS). This has been a part of conqueror 
since 2.0 See http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-2.0.php

As for setting up the NFS you can have a look at Linux NFS-HOWTO 
http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/index.html I am not sure if you 
have a webmin module for configuring NFS

And could you tell me how it is a bad solution to the OP's question? 
swat comes by default enabled only to be accessed from localhost. Yes, 
it asks for root password over a cleartext based HTTP POST system. But I 
am sure, it is good enough to be used over localhost when the local root 
account is considered to be secure enough. And if configured to be used 
along with stunnel it is as secure as any other over the network. UI - 
webmin or what not. BTW, even webmin is considered to be a security hole 
by many.

SWAT stands for Samba Web Administration Tool.
Google/linux came up with this
http://samba.linuxbe.org/en/samba/learn/swat.html

The problem AFAIK with swat is that it is not easy to configure. Beats the hell out of 
you and you still get nowhere. That's so in many cases, but, those who are successful 
in configuring it right love it.

Re: [ilugd] samba problem with win xp

[Gurnish S Anand]

What Samba version are you using ?
I think the old version upto 2.2.5 or 2.2.7 do not support xp domain logons. 

Check with the samba.org to double check whether your version supports xp logons.

Re: [ilugd] samba problem with win xp

[Mani]

The registry key should be

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters]
"requiresignorseal"=dword:
"signsecurechannel"=dword:

Check if your smb.conf file has the following lines



domain master = yes

local master = yes

preferred master = yes

os level = 255

security = user

domain logons = yes



the "Domain not found" error can be use to some WINS problem, (you can try
adding entries to the LMHOSTS/hosts file of your XP client machine), or some
browse master related problems. The os level = 255 will ensure that the
samba server wins all browse elections. Also have you added any line that
will create a Linux user account for your machine? Check if you have the
following line or something similar.



add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u



You can check the "Using Samba" 2'nd edition by O'Rielly, it's available in
html format at the samba site, and is also distributed with samba 3.0
sources (yes, samba 3.0 sources includes html books for samba 2.2)

Also check if you have a domain admin group, and that the corresponding
samba users exist.

I believe you are missing some steps, it would be better if you create a
checklist and check it against the manual you are using.

Mani

RE: [ilugd] samba problem with win xp

[Supreet Sethi]

One sure shot way is to use Samba v 3. Samba 3 provides all the features
which Xp expects out of a CIFS server, So no reegistry key changes, no
dirty work. But that does'nt mean that samba 2(point) releases cannot
serve windows XP clients. One would need to see what is really
happening. LOG file snippet for instance should be included. Nobody can
give exact answer, unless you ask a precise question.

WinXp not working with samba is to ambigious a question to ask.

So if you could post some relevent log files. You will get better
response

Re: [ilugd] samba problem with win xp

[Yashpal Nagar]

Specially for windows XP you Need to disable the option "Digitally encrypt
or Sign Secure Channel data" which is by default ENABLED.
As you need not to encrypt data over your Local LAN. You will find it in

"Administrative Tools" -> "Local Security Policy" -> "Local Policies"->
"Security Options"

Check for the netbios name entry. 
Change it from netbios name = whatever to netbios = whatever
take off the "name" keyword, which is desupported in newer versions.

Enjoy !!

Re: [ilugd] samba masala dosa

[Yashpal Nagar]

Hello Akshay,
Please check few things:-
1. Check the samba logs /var/log/samba/log.nmbd
2. How you are adding the user to smabpasswd . (i use "sambpasswd -a user") 
pls check it.

3. If samba has to work only a file server within you LAN & security is not 
much of an issue then look for "NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION" para 
in "man smb.conf"
4. Check the permissions of exposed Dirs
If you need my config file mail me off the list.

Regards,
-Yash

Can not access the network running samba right now but off hand recall:
1. Some thing about plain / encrypted password problem between earlier /
later version of Win98 so probably plain password may work.
2. The user log in name into win98 should be same as the login name in
linux. Why I do not know but seems to work like this only.
You have to add user /passwd in Samba not pass them on(what ever you
mean by that)

[ilugd] samba masala dosa

[LinuxLingam]

argh!

have successfully configured samba server such that in the network
neighbourhood of a win98 pc, i can finally see the hostname of the samba
pc.

double-click: and it says //[hostname] is not accessible. the specified
computer did not receive your request. try again later.

[hostname] contains the netbios name as specified in smb.conf of the
linux pc.

1) username and passwd added to linux box.
2) username and passwd passed on to smbpasswd
3) encrypted password on in samba.
4) win98 windows logon (right after boot) uses *same* username and
passwd. for good measure, the 'identification' of the pc is also the
same username.
5) the work group is identical for both pcs.
6) iptables ipchains, default firewalls (lokkit, network security, etc)
are all disabled.
7) the linux samba server does show up in the network neighbourhood,
which means they can see each other.
8) once, using smbclient, did successfully log on to the win98 pc and
mount its shared folders to the linux pc.
9) googled extensively.
10) the shares under samba are set up correctly. (i.e., there is a
sub-directory all ready to be shared with the win box).

what's going on?
