[newbie] Samba Server
Hiya Folks What I'd like to do is set up a shared area within our network that all our (family) music files are on, plus other bits and bobs, that will only share files for most of its hard drive. I've already got a working Samba place on this machine but I'm debating how to go about this. Basically the box wil be without monitor, keyboard, mouse etc. Just have power and network to it. However, the small problem I have is that as it is a closed secured network I don't want any username and passwords? Is that possible?? Because one of the problems I have is any files created with one ID cannot be moved/deleted with another ID, or have I missed something fundemental out??

Using Groups it's possible to sort that problem. Make sure that everyone is in one group - either use User or create one for the purpose. Then, in konqueror, go to the folder that represents the whole of the shared area. As root, change the group to the chosen one and Set GID on the advanced permissions page, then check Apply changes to all subdirectories and their contents. That should work. Be aware, though, that you no longer have any kind of control over who does what, so anything you value should be copied there, not moved there.

Re: [newbie] Samba Server
Alas my plans have gone a bit pear shaped. The machine destined to become a server, whilst quiet and with enough memory has transpired to not support the required drives. A variety of words spring to mind, most unrepeatable here ;( So the 80gb drive is going in this linux machine and I'll modify the network to suit. Thank you Anne for your description. Having also spoken to anther network freind here I think it'll be easier to stick to a shared user ID and password. Cheers Elwyn Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Cheers, Elwyn This all depends on how you set up the share. You can use the force user and force group options when defining the share so that all files will be owned by the same user/group. You may also want to set it up so that guests can read, but not create/change/delete files. Another way would be to set up security = share instead of user. It isn't used as often, and I am not sure how well the GUI config tools work with it, but it is something to look into. I prefer to leave security set to user, and the force user option. That way, you can still have private home shares for each user, but that is just me... Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

If you can see the shares from XP but have permission problems you must be well on the way to a working configuration. It's possible to do all this from Webmin, but I think it is quicker and easier to manually edit the files. Open (as root) /etc/samba/smb.conf and copy the shares information to a message here. Also, give one share as an example of what you are trying to achieve - give the path to the share, and whether you want all users to read and write to it. If you only want some users to do this you will have to control access by user groups. Give us this information and someone should be able to help.

[newbie] Samba user adding
Hi all, I have installed samba on mandk 10.1 official for act as server for a small LAN (4 clients). All clietns have Windows XP. I have added unix user to server for all clients too. My server is visible to all clients but none of them can connect to server. The error message is The user doesn't have permission or something like that. I guess that there is something wrong with samba users. I have added samba users first by using SWAT but it is just confusing and Iused sambaclient at command line to add a user and it added succesfully. I couls even connect locally to my samba server by using added samba user. I used to install FC3 and it has a great graphical tool (except SWAT) to manage samba users ans shares and also to congifure Apache in a graphical UI and both was great. I did use that and it was working perfectly but I don't know here in mndk is anything like that. Can anybody help ? Regards, Danesh

If you can see the shares from XP but have permission problems you must be well on the way to a working configuration. It's possible to do all this from Webmin, but I think it is quicker and easier to manually edit the files. Open (as root) /etc/samba/smb.conf and copy the shares information to a message here. Also, give one share as an example of what you are trying to achieve - give the path to the share, and whether you want all users to read and write to it. If you only want some users to do this you will have to control access by user groups. Give us this information and someone should be able to help.

Lee Ok - long and short of it is that you have to have the same users on the network as you do on the linux box that you want to be the server; you can setup the shares on the server in such a way as to either have them protected by user authentication, domain authentication or share authentication; I personally prefer share authentication as I have customer machines that i back up to the server constantly, so domain or user authentication means diddly to me here. Another issue is having SWAT trim down your /etc/samba/smb.conf so that you don't have to spend three days reading through it; and you can use the functionality in Webmin to synchronise the users for unix=samba really easy...

To add to the confusion: Samba or Samba3? Lee Lee; Your best bet is to lose Samba and to move up to Samba 3, but there's a trick to doing it.If any , and i mean ANY remnants of Samba are left on the Linux box, Webmin will try to use that set of files and the default folder as the home of Samba. Typically, that will mean that Webmin will spit out an error about not finding Samba. What you need to do, is to un-install Samba and Samba3, making sure to visually check that their folders in /etc are completely gone, and then urpmi Samba3. If you successfully removed any leftovers of Samba and Samba3, Mandrake will install Samba3 in /etc/samba and NOT /etc/samba3. Then Webmin will detect that Samba3 is in the Samba folder, and you're in business. Of course, make sure that any usernames and matching passwords on any of your systems are also added to the Linux box before converting Unix users to Samba users. If you set up folder access as Shared, it helps if you make sure that each PC is in the correct workgroup, and that you create the appropriate User groups on each PC, then add the proper users to those groups. So on PC #2, you would create a user (only an example) called linus and you would also create a workgroup called torvalds. This same user and group should exist on the Linux box and that user linus (on the server) should belong to the torvalds group on the server. Then convert your Unix users in Samba to Samba users. It's not so much a question of whether this will work or not (although it will certainly help), but more of a question of removing any possibilities that something might gum up the works. It will also help to create a standard way of setting up Samba for you so that you will have consistent results every time you need to set up Samba. Add any users on your network to the torvalds workgroup as needed, and feel free to put some users in different workgroups both on the PC's and on the Linux box. This will give you a clearer idea of samba's quirks and the results you can expect in the future. One thing to watch out for though - I noticed that Webmin is back to its old tricks. If you go to Webmin/Samba/Edit Samba users and passwords/Samba users, and select one of your Samba users, you will probably see that 2 of the 4 check-boxes have checkmarks in them. Until you fix this, it's unlikely that you will be able to connect to the samba server at all, or it's more likely that Samba will reject your username and password. This minor irritation has been around for a while, and it seems to confuse Samba quite a bit. The second checkbox is the problem, because the default setting is to use the current Samba password for that user, but the second checkbox also states that NO password is required. Just uncheck the second box, select new password and type in the user's existing password. Do this for all Samba users on your network, then restart the Samba server and you should be good to go!

But maybe I'm confused with sharing a partition with a dual boot machine with Win and Linux (which I don't have). Bas The remote Windows machine neither knows nor cares what file system the host is using. The server can serve any type of file system to clients using Samba. The only thing you have to worry about is the permissions. A Samba client can only read/write to folders to which they have permission. For example a Samba client 'fred' cannot write to a Linux folder owned by 'joe' unless the appropriate permissions are set. This is true for FAT32 partitions as well as Ext3 (there is little need to use Ext2 anymore). But because a FAT32 partition has no concept of permissions, when Linux mounts a FAT32 partition it will apply the permissions defined in your /etc/fstab file to the entire partition. If you want all your Samba clients to be able to read/write to a FAT32 partition you must set the option umask=0 in the line for that partition in the fstab file.

RE: [newbie] Samba server not working
Hello.. First time writing I think that is a matter of resolving the localhost the box you got and not a matter of permissions. Have you tried? name of the box , IP of the box e.t.c Check the checklist form samba documentation. since pretty new in Samba but I did had the same problem using SWAT...so I assume the problem is how to resolve your host.. -Original Message- From: Derek Jennings [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: , 26 2004 4:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Samba server not working On Wednesday 26 May 2004 13:00, Video 4Linux wrote: I'm trying to set up a Samba server on my Linux Mandrake 10 machine.

I want the permissions on the 'usernamehere' to only allow the user's domain account name. I'm confused as to how webmin works and if this will solve the problem Any ideas? Thanx, Jargon A few points :- With security level set to highest (paranoid), you are going to be quite restricted. If you are just getting to know Linux then you might find it easier to work with 'High' or 'Higher' Otherwise you will may get quite frustrated at how much the security system interferes with you. One way the security system will interfere is on the ownership and permissions on your shared folders. The msec security script will check on which user/group owns folders and the read/write/execute permissions on them. If the permissions do not conform to the levels appropriate for your security level msec will **change the permissions** without consulting you. This confuses the socks off a lot of people. To define the permissions you want to use on your shared folders use drakperm in the security section of Mandrake Control Centre. Samba cannot override the permissions on the linux folder, so any Samba user can only have the permissions appropriate for the user thay are logged in as. It is not necessary to have a 1:1 mapping between Samba users and Linux users, but if the Samba access is not to be anonymous, then the Samba users must be mapped to a Linux Group or User. In your case I suspect anonymous access would be all you need unless you want to either set up 1000 Samba users, or else implement an LDAP authentication server. If you are using anonymous access then you must map your users to the guest user 'nobody' and the shared folders must allow access to 'nobody'. You will find an example configuration for an anonymous share in the default /etc/samba/smb.conf file. It is not clear if you have webmin working or not. After installing the webmin package run chkconfig webmin on service webmin start That will make the webmin server run automatically when you boot the server. Then https://server_ip_addy:1 from any browser on the local network will access webmin (Note https not http) The Samba module in webmin is simply a graphical way of editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file HTH derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] SAMBA and NetBIOS names
Hi I used to have Mandrake 9.2 machines on the (windows) network and it was fine to ping the windows machines by their netbios names, something that I came to enjoy! I do not know how the network is set up. I assume DNS is used to keep track of machines' names... The only thing I know is that Linux was able to use their names in ping, ssh and others (like the cups wizard!). I moved to Mandrake10Official, and I came to realize that the name resolution is not working anymore. I dont know what has been changed, and after looking closely to smb.conf, resolv.conf, nsswitch.conf, winbind and trying to enable the machine as domain master, wins server, etc.. nothing seem to solve my problem. What I can do: use nmblookup machine name resolves the IP correctly What I cannot do: ssh machine_name, ping machine, etc... does not work anymore. Can somebody point me to some readings or, even better, a solution? Thanks., marc Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If you want to enable Samba to computers in your local network, the lines ACCEPT loc fw udp 137,138,139 ACCEPT loc fw tcp 137,138,139 will do the trick (assuming the local network is called 'loc' in some cases it may be called 'masq' ) As an additional precaution it is a good idea to set the line interfaces= eth1 (where eth1 is the local network) in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file. This will force samba to only use that interface instead of the default which is all interfaces. Not only will it prevent people from outside connecting to samba, but it will stop samba timing out when it sends packets to the network interface which are then dropped by shorewall. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Samba security update?
I found this on my available updates tonight: All versions of Samba prior to 2.2.8a are vulnerable. The provided updates contain a patch from the Samba Team to correct the issue. Oddly, the filename of the update is samba-client-2.2.7a-9.3.91mdk. Was there a typo in the description or is this update not an update? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks! The trouble with using SWAT is that it replaces the original Mandrake config file which is heavily annotated and has defaults which work out of the box. I suggest you replace your config file with the default you will find at /usr/share/samba/smb.conf.clean and then start again from there. Reading the default config file will give you a lot of hints. Before users can connect to their home directories on your server you must execute the command smbpasswd -a user_name where user_name is a logon name that exits in both windows and Linux environments. You will be prompted for the *Windows* password of that user which does not have to be the same as that users Linux password. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Samba limitations?
I'm running 10 here on my laptop, no problems. However I just noticed that for some reason my Samba mounted NT shares from network servers don't give me a complete listing but stop after 122 entries. The directory contains 4 subfolders and 414 m3u files (yup, it's my music server), yet no matter what I do all I see is 122 files (the first 122) and sometimes 1 folder. I've been using Nautilus, thought it was a Nautilus issue, installed gnome-commander, same thing. I've mounted and unmounted the share, no difference. As a final try I command lined it to the mount point and did ls, nothing showing. I know that under 9.2 I didn't have this problem. When I rebuilt my laptop this weekend using the community DVD I decided to do a clean install rather than update, so I can't go back to see the difference. Any ideas? I am a newbie and can use all the hand-holding you can provide. ED Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

Hines pulled out a pad and began to scribble.: Screw XP Home--dual boot that machine with Mandrake. You will use Windows less and less as time goes by, and you will NEVER regret it. Put a Fat partition on it to share files between XP and Linux. My home has 8 machines, all but one dual boot. I am in Windows maybe once a month. If you play games it will be more, but dual boot is the answer. My wife is on a Linux machine, and she said to a friend last week, If I can use Linux, it must be easy (we were talking about him installing dual boot with XP and Mandrake on a new machine he was buying). Our friend is tired of virus crap and constant updates. Aren't you??? And Mandrake is easy enough even your wife and kids can use it.

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf - BUT - make a backup copy of that file to smb.conf.orig first. There's a lot of useful info in there that you may well want to read later, and it's too easy to lose it all, especially if you edit in Webmin. Webmin is a great tool, but it does overwrite the existing file. Also, I keep hearing about Webmin as a configuration tool...where/how do I find it??? It comes as standard with Mandrake distros, but it's not installed by default. Use Mandrake Control Center Software Management to find and install it. It can be accessed from a browser by https://localhost:1 (notice that it is http*s*) or from a root console by just typing Webmin. You have to give a root password to use it. You'll see tabbed pages with links to configuration files for a huge number of programs. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?

What flavour of XP is it? In XP Professional, there is a setting you need to turn off in the XP box (enable easy something-or-other - a google on samba and XP will turn it up). As far as I (and the assembled brains of our univeristy computer centre) can tell, if it's XP Home, you're screwed. That's why, since they've taken the printer off my box and hooked it up to a Windows box, if I want to print a document I have to convert it to a format that Windows can read, copy to a floppy, and take it over to one of the Windows boxes.

I actually prefer long explanations :) *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** Al; You shouldn't be having these problems. If I understand you correctly, your Mandrake Box isn't seeing the files on your XP box, right? Ok, so we go through the process starting with the stupid questions, and working our way up from there. I ask you 2 or 3 questions, you check things out on the XP box, and we cross them off the list, until we find the answer, OK? Here goes, 1) Is it XP Home or Pro? 2) Are there files in the XP share ( ddrive ) ? 3) Can you COPY files from the Mandrake Box to the XP box ? 4) Why is the sky blue? Just Kidding - wanted to see if you were paying attention ! Grin! 5) Have you checked to see what permissions are set for the ddrive folder or hard disk? Note; In XP, you have to select permissions for each user, and you should be able to select the workgroup, add users in that group, and set permissions as well. Users in an XP group that ONLY belong to a group on that one PC are the only ones who have access permissions. If you right-click on the shared folder, and select Sharing and Security you should be able to find an applet window that lists the users who can access the shared folder. The list usually starts with the user everyone, and at the bottom of the applet window you should see what permissions that this user has. Above the user list, should be a drop-down dialog box that shows the name of the computer. If you select the drop-down arrow, you'll also see the workgroup that you created ( IE; Al's Worlkgroup ). Select the workgroup your users belong to, and then look at the permissions. While you're at it, you can now add the user Al to the list and set some permissions for him. I know that sounds silly, but XP assigns different permissions to Al - an administrator on that PC, as opposed to Al - a member of the workgroup MyGroup ( just an example ), even though the workgroup MyGroup may exist on that PC. Wierd huh? You have to set new permissions for anyone who belongs to the workgroup MyGroup, and it might be simpler to delete the share you made and create a new one. While you're at it, make sure that you go to Control PanelAdministrative Tools Computer ManagementUsers and Groups, then create the new workgroup and add your user Al to that group. Then set permissions to the folder you want to share as I described above. Get back to me. Lanman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Depending on which application you are using to browse the network, you may have to right click and choose scan group as and enter the user/password of a user set up on your windows box. I have found the easiest way is to use LinNeighborhood to mount the shares and browse them that way. In LinNeighborhood right click on the workgroup of your windows box and choose scan group as user. Hope that helps. I used to use komba as well and had to do basically the same thing. You may need to check your user/password permissions and make sure they match between boxen.

[newbie] samba cant copy big files??
hi i joined 3 movie files together to a size of 2.2 GB on windoze XP when i viewed the file from linux mdk9.2 to copy the file over the file showed up as 16,777,216 TB. an attempt to copy the file also failed as it kept on copying well after the 2.2GB of the actual file size and i had to stop it. however windozeXP was able to copy the file over correctly and continues to see the file as the correct size but samba still sees the file as 16,777,216 TB. when viewed from either of my linux boxes??? does anyone know if this is a configuration problem or a samba bug?? cheerz LtCdData Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
