RE: [Samba] Windows 2000 and Samba
It sounds like you're having a windows networking error - do you have both faulty w2k machines and the samba server pointing at the WINS server? Or better yet, is your samba server configured as a WINS server? If it's a windows networking error, try renaming %system root%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts.sam to %system root%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts (i.e. remove the .sam file suffix) read the comments in the lmhosts file and edit the lmhosts file as appropriate for your network Finally, check your DNS setup on the two faulty w2k machines, w2k relies on DNS a lot more for netbios name resolution. From the w2k command prompt, do a nslookup server name and see how long that takes - if that's not working you may need to tweak your DNS settings on those two w2k machines. I'm curious as to what's going on, so keep us posted. --- Sam Barasch Computer Systems Support Department of Biostatistics University of Wisconsin Madison At 12:18 PM 5/9/2002 -0600, Paul Harlow wrote: Windows cannot find '\\server1'.

Re: [Samba] Windows 2000 and Samba
Windows networking can produce interesting errors. One of them is the following: if a directory on the samba server was mapped on the w2k machine and the map is broken (red X on the map in My Computer) then you have to unmap it first to be able to log in. Until you dont unmap it, it can produce all kind of errors. Szilard | At 12:18 PM 5/9/2002 -0600, Paul Harlow wrote: | Windows cannot find '\\server1'.

[Samba] Howto join Win2000 to a Samba acting as a PDC?
Hi. As you may have noticed, I'm trying to setup my Samba server so that it is the PDC. I'm reading the howtos on http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/ldap-smb-2_2-howto.html and http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#SAMBA-PDC . Besides being a PDC, samba should use LDAP as the backend for storing user stuff. The LDAP contains the user/group accounts as listed in the idealx howto from http://samba.idealx.org/dist/samba-ldap-howto.pdf, page 41. The Windows 2000 Pro machine which should join the domain is called VIRTUAL-TEICH, so I added a machine account VIRTUAL-TEICH$ to the LDAP. I'm now trying to actually add the machine to the domain. So I right clicked on the Workspace (? Arbeitsplatz) icon to open the system preferences. Then on Network identification (? Netzwerkidentifikation) - Properties (? Eigenschaften). There I changed the radio button from Workgroup to Domain and entered the name I've set in /etc/samba/smb.conf workgroup = MDKGROUP (I entered MDKGROUP). Then a dialog popped up, and I entered a user name which is listed in LDAP (I've tried using a username of a member of the Domain Admins group as well as from a plain normal user). Both times I get the following error message in /var/log/messages: May 9 21:42:04 teich smbd[31340]: [2002/05/09 21:42:04, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_open_connection(79) May 9 21:42:04 teich smbd[31340]: ldap_open_connection: cannot access LDAP when not root.. Attaching shares with usernames which are only listed in the LDAP works fine. But before I tried this, I made sure to remove all attached shares and reboot the machine. I also tried using root as the username, but then the Windows 2000 just hangs. In /var/log/messages I get: May 9 21:51:37 teich smbd[32235]: api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_USERINFO. Oh, after quite some time (~1 minute), a dialog in Win2000 popped up: Willkommen zur Domäne MDKGROUP. ;) Well, I dislike this. Do I really have to use root to join the domain? This is with samba 2.2.4 on MandrakeLinux 8.2. What am I missing?

[Samba] Quota visualization and Printer Sharing
Hello We have one Samba 2.2.5-pre running as PDC of our domain, in one Solaris 7 box. There are also a winNT 4 machine used as a Printer Server (we prefer to use another machine to print services). After one printer instalation, on printer server, I try to configure permissions in the Security tab, Permissions button. I click in Add button and include Domain users with Print permission. Anything seems Ok, but if I close the window and open again, instead of the domain name appears Unix_group.35214085 and the users of the domain can´t access the printer shared! Another problem: after the upgrade to version 2.2.4, the quota visualization is broken and the users, when click in the Properties of a network drive, receive information of 0 bytes used and 0 bytes free. Naturally, I´m compiling with the option --with- quotas... :-) Anyone have these problems too? Are there one patch?

[Samba] Logging in to the domain
Hi again! ;) Sorry if I'm being a pest, but I'd really like to be able to have my samba as a PDC. Okay, I've now joined the domain and rebooted. Now I'd like to login to the domain. On the login screen, I've chosen a name which is in the LDAP and thus should be a domain user. I've also selected to login to MDKGROUP (domain name); ie. I changed it from VIRTUAL-TEICH (this pc). When I click on Ok to login, Windows right away pops up an error message: Das System kann Sie nicht bei dieser Domäne anmelden, da das Computerkonto des Systems in seiner primären Domäne fehlt, oder das Kennwort für dieses Computerkonto falsch ist. Translation: Can't login to domain because the machine account is missing from the primary domain or because the password for this machine account is wrong. Well, I've obviously missed a step. But what? I also wonder about the password is wrong part. I've never been asked for the machine account password. Is this correct? samba 2.2.4 on MandrakeLinux 8.2.

[Samba] still problems with password-expiration
Hi folks, I knew this was recently discussed but I still couldn't get it to work. I still have the problem that the users on the W2K-Clients get the message about the password going to expire in 5 days when joining the Samba-PDC-Domain. Even if the users change the password, this message keeps coming... I have no idea what to do to avoid this message... Funny thing is, the password DOES NOT expire in 5 days.. only the popus in windows keeps on coming after logon. It always tells about 5 days... every day the same :) Did I miss a posting which told the solution ?

[Samba] Win98 join a PDC
OK... this has probably been asked in the past, but until there is a decent archive it's impossible to tell :) Just set up a 2.2.4 PDC / Solaris 8 / E-250. Wierd thing #1: Windows 98 client will NOT connect on first attempt: type in username and password, hit enter, wait 2 minutes, failure message. Click OK on the failure popup, hit enter again on the login dialogue, wait another 2 minutes and client logs in almost perfectly (by almost: trouble with home directory %u thingie). Any ideas? Wierd thing #2: Win2K server, no AD, no BDC. Just wanna join the domain so that I can use terminal server. Asking for a username and password. The only reference that I have found in any of the documentation is how you must use a "Samba Administrator" account to authenticate the machine, but there is no docs that explain WHAT a "Samba Administrator" account is, or how to make one. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks in advance! Alex MoenOperations Technology Specialist701-662-6481800-880-4213
Re: [Samba] Logging in to the domain
Hi Well, I've obviously missed a step. But what? I also wonder about the password is wrong part. I've never been asked for the machine account password. Is this correct? Let me see if I could understand. You need to create one account - trust account - to each one of your machines (the machine name with the suffix $. For example: win101$). This accounts have a password auto-generated for samba in the smbpasswd file and anyone password in the *nix system. Then, you need make anything similar to the following steps: useradd -c station -d /dev/null -s /bin/false machine_name$ smbpasswd -a -m machine_name$ To remove the machine and recreate them: smbpasswd -x machine_name$ userdel machine_name$ If you delete or try to create one without the other, this error happens. I hope this help you.

[Samba] copy a large volume of data from PC to samba server
Hi there, Is there someone over there knows a method or script that can copy a large volume of data (in folders)from PCs to a samba server (suppose there is enough space there)? I know using smbclient or smbtar can backup data on PCs to samba server, but it is written in tar files.I wonder whether this method can handle a large folder, say, in 10GB size. Also, using smbclient with mget and recurse on, one can copy folders from PC to samba server. But in doing so, it is in interactive mode and keeps asking yes/no to continue. Is there a way to get rid of these prompts? Thanks, Tian.
