No. It has to be done as a 'root' privilidged account from samba's perspective. ie: NT Administrator (which maps to root).

[Samba] tmp in profile
Hi, I used samba as PDC. When some users (not all users) log off , it created prfxxx.tmp(ex. prf127.tmp,prfEC.tmp) in their profiles (in /profiles/user/SendTo/prf127.tmp). Almost it occured with users which can't update profiles because cannot copy file 3r Floppy(A).lnk. Thank you.With Yahoo! Mail you can get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs
[Samba] Method for joining machines to PDC without using root
currently, in order to join a win XP machine to a samba PDC, you have to use the root account (although you can use an smbpasswd and not the linux password). is there any way to set up another account to do this one particular task (one without uid=0)?. if we have users in remote places, i do not want to have to go over to their work station just to log them on the the domain. alsoi don't want to give them a login and password that could compromise the system the samba is running on (linux). i think the answer is no from some of the information i found by googling, but i wanted to verify the answer here. my only other option would be to issue a: smbpasswd root make a temporary password, talk someone into joining a domain on the phone, immediately change the password back so it is secure. -- ___cliff [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.genwax.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] SAMBA 2.2.7a and Windows XP
I've been having these really annoying issues ever since I started to configure SAMBA with Windows XP. As it seems the XP-machine detects the SAMBA-share on occasions, and even manages to connect to it; but only for a while. I have found no clue whatsoever why it connects only "sometimes". It seems that when the Windows XP machine is just booted, it normally gets access to the Linux-machine, but after just a while it looses the access. I'm also running a Windows 98SE-machine on the very same network, however the connection between Linux <---> Windows98SE seems to be flawless. It detects, browses, downloads, etc. without the slightest problem. To go back to the issue, I'm on a 10Mbit Broadband connection, and my IP is assigned by DHCP, I'm always on the same C-net. Locally the network runs at 100Mbit... (switched), and here's what's strange. WHEN I run regular TCP-transfers to the Linux system (such as FTP, etc.) ; the transferrate is relevant to that of a 10Mbit connection (it seems as it goes "outside" the LAN, and connects that way. _BUT_ when I get 'connected' on SAMBA, it accelerates and behaves like a 100Mbit network. As I said, these occasions occur erratically; so I cannot really find a common denominator. Sometimes it happens just when I transfer the very "last" of the files (over FTP). My first conclusion is that there's something wrong with the Windows XP configuration, but I seem to have tried most of the "logical solutions"... I've switched off NetBIOS, NetBEUI, (and ON, in all combinations), but it doesn't seem to do anything but either limit the percentage to 0 (zero) when I manage to connect. I've also tried using: \\samba.host.ext\ ; and that doesn't work (I suppose it has to do with my ISP has blocked port 139, to prevent people from accessing eachothers shares across apartments) I've tried to remove the external TP-connection, but to no avail. I really believe that it has to do with Windows XP. Someone told me it had to do with LmCompatibilityLevel... but I cannot draw any conclusions there either. I've really tried to find a solution, but I just can't do it. I really need some help here =( [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] (no subject)
Hello. I am running Samba version 2.2.5 on Redhat Linux 8.0, kernel version 2.4.18-14. Encrypted passwords = yes; security = user; wins server =169.254.1.2; netbios name = SambaServer. My client is Windows 2000, service pack 3. I am only able to browse my samba shares only if I use the ip address of my samba server. For example on Winddows 2000 I run: NET USE \\169.254.1.1, I can see the shares, I am also able to map drives, all is good. If I run NET USE \\SambaServer, using the netbios name, I get 'Access Denied'. I've checked the log files and saw that bind succeeded on both ports 137,139. Under [Global] Settings I've added 'guest ok = yes'; 'guest account = ftp'. Both user accounts exist in /etc/passwd and smbpasswd files. I've checked iptables and opened up ports 137,138,139 tcp/udp. I am able to anonymously view shares locally on my SambaServer when I run 'smbclient -U% -L SambaServer'. The Windows 2000 Server is the domain master browser, local master browser and WINS server. I've upped the logging on the SambaServer and saw that browse.dat gets updated with everyones netbios/ip addresses. The WINS server is also update with the netbios/ip name pairs. When I run: NET USE \\169.254.1.1 on the Windows 2000 box, Samba's logs show that is negotiates protocols and selects NT LM 0.1.2. The defaut protocol for Windows 2000. Fine. It then validates my user accout, the user I am logged on as on Windows 2000, which by the way has the same username/password/case as on the linux box. It passes. It then checks my password. The SMB hash is the same and the NT hash and there you have it I can see the list of shares on the SambaServer. If I run: NET USE \\SambaServer (name not ip address), it does not get past protocol negotiation. It does not check my user or password and I get "Access is deniedSystem error 5 has occurred."

Re: [Samba] SAMBA PDC
Thank you for replying. You are correct in that the version of SAMBA is 2.2.1 . I was not aware of the WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg registry update. However, I am aware of WinXP SP1 which has been applied. I suspect that the WinXP_SignOrSeal.reg registry update is separate from SP1. I will attempt to obtain the registry update and apply it to the XP workstation. Any direction you can give on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Here is an additional observation: From the SAMBA Troubleshooting Guide, I have encountered the precise anomaly that I am experiencing: Symptom:It is possible to "ping" the HOST from the client (on port 7; the echo port) but the client is unable to obtain the list of shares on HOST. [I can ping either the IP addr or the NetBIOS name of the server from the workstation]. Cause: Traffic on one or more of the NetBIOS-over-TCP ports (137, 138, 139) are blocked. To verify this, type one of the following commands: nbtstat -A 172.17.60.6 If this command shows a list of NetBIOS names, then port 137 is open. Otherwise, it is blocked. [The COFR3 server is listed along with the COFRNY domain as shown in the separate section below]. Resolution: Find the router, firewall, switch or other device that is blocking ports 137-139 and reconfigure it. UDP traffic must be permitted on ports 137 and 138, and TCP traffic must be permitted on port 139. [Since this Linux server is a Virtual Machine, could this be interpreted as an issue with its TCP/IP configuration?]. I could not run a traceroute on the workstations NetBIOS name from the Linux server as it was an unknown host.

[Samba] SAMBA PDC
I followed the procedure to configure SAMBA as a PDC as outlined in samba/swat.cgi/swat/using_samba/ch06_05.html on my Linux server. My domain name is COFRNY, and I expected a COFRNY.SID to be generated. However, MACHINE.SID was generated instead. Furthermore, I cannot see the COFRNY domain listed within MS Networks on my XP workstation. Any ideas on what I did wrong? Here is the procedure in detail: [global] workgroup = COFRNY domain logons = yes security = user os level = 34 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes For Windows NT clients you must also ensure that Samba is using encrypted passwords: encrypted passwords = yes Furthermore, also exclusively for Windows NT clients, create Trust accounts which allow a machine to log in to the PDC itself. Create a "dummy" account in the /etc/passwd file with the following entry: city-f5pfa29xta$:*:1000:900:Trust Account:/dev/null:/dev/null Note that we have also disabled the password field by placing a * in it. This is because Samba will use the smbpasswd file to contain the password instead, and we don't want anyone to telnet into the machine using that account. Additionally, '1000' is the UID of the account for the encrypted password database. Next, add the encrypted password using the smbpasswd command, as follows: # smbpasswd -a -m city-f5pfa29xta Added user city-f5pfa29xta$ Password changed for user city-f5pfa29xta$ The -m option specifies that a machine trust account is being generated. The smbpasswd program will automatically set the initial encrypted password as the NetBIOS name of the machine in lowercase letters. When specifying this option on the command line, do not put a dollar sign after the machine name - it will be appended automatically. Once the encrypted password has been added, Samba is ready to handle domain logins from a NT client. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] xp problem

Please explain in detail what happens when you try to access the WinXP machine from Win2K and vica versa. You need to explain how your samba is configured as well as how the Win2K/XP systems are configured. Without this information we would be jst guessing - not very productive. Sorry, but I don't quite understand. I thought I had explained my setup fairly concisely. The Win2k and XP boxes are configured for workgroup file and printer sharing. There is no domain or domain server. FBSD is running samba as a file and printer server. I can only see the XP machine in My Network Places and the samba connection to the FBSD machine. When FBSD is running, I can connect from the XP machine both for file and printer access. When I try to connect to one of the other computers in the workgroup, I get the message: the path could not be found. Perhaps I am not clear enough: Before installing XP_Pro, I was able to see and connect between Win2K machines as well as the FBSD both for file shareing and printing. After installing XP, I can ping between the machines, I can map to the shares, I can print from the XP but I can no longer see the machines in the WORKGROUP on Network Neighborhood or Network Places (Childish nomenclature by MS). If I disconnect FBSD from the LAN, the Windows machines can, once again, intercommunicate. Perhaps I should dump the NetBEUI protocol on Windows and just map the shares on each machine. (Kindof a pain, IYAM) Maybe I just don't understand what the relationship should be between the samba machine and the others. The static address (192.168.1.240) of the FBSD machine show up as WORKSTATION and not as COMPUTER_NAME. If I may make an observation, it looks to me that MS is getting kprogressively bloated an unecessarily complicated as it evolves. I am trying to get away from it as much as possible but that is a little difficult as too many "common people" are still brainwashed by MS. Please let me know what specifics I should provide.

[Samba] Windows notification
Good morning everyone, Does anyone know of a way for Samba, or Linux, to send a notification to Windows users, as they log in, that there password has or is expiring in a certain number of days? I've thought about sending a network broadcast using Samba, but I have no idea how to do it automatically, based on a 60 day password life and X number of days warning before it expiring. Right now, I have to send an email to everyone warning them about password expiration. that gets kind of old. Thanks for the help!

[Samba] NULL files in Samba
We are using Samba 2.2.3a across a dedicated T-1 to a co-lo facility, and every so often, when we attempt to copy over a existing file at the co-lo (win2k to Samba share), we get a file with NULLS in it. Has anyone seen this behavior, and if so, what did you do to combat the problem? -Bill -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] can not connect to the shared printer
Hi there, I'm learning Samba and I really appreciate somebody out there can help me out. I'm using RedHat advanced server and a windows 2000. I created a workgroup on samba and only samba machine and win2k machine are members. I shared the printer attached to the Linux. From win2k PC, I can see the workgroup, but I can not find the samba host from the workgroup, nor does the printer. The smb.conf is attached. I run smbclient -NL and it shows the printer under the Sharename. If I run net view //, it returns that: "System error 53 has occured, the network pass was not found" I setup the samba 2 days ago, and the same problem happened then and now. BTW, I can mount a windows share from Linux, so I guess samba is running. Thanks and merry Christmas.
