I've just commited clarifications to the documentation, as this only
applies to NT4 domains.  The new documentation refers to 'net join',
which detects which based on your 'security=' setting.

That was not the fix for that issue.  The only thing that can cause that

The tab is greyed out on all of my Samba boxes, but I was able to use
the rpcclient utility with the deldriver switch to remove the offending
print driver. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

This is expected and is a drawback in this security mode.

RE: [Samba] Samba 3 & ADS current capabilities [adr]

[Rick Segeberg]

Andrew,

Thanks for your response.  This reply is actually not a request for
additional help.  After much searching throught the lists and Google
along with a lot of experimentation, I think I've got it (mostly) figure
out.  This post is just an effort to help others who might be struggling
with the same issues as I was.  I'm sure it's far from perfect and if
anyone has suggestions on improving something, I'd like to hear them.

Server Information:
   Redhad 8.0 w/ kernel 2.4.28-18.8.0
   Samba 3.0 alpha 21

Just to be sure, I've started at the beginning and double checked
everything to make sure it matches the documentation I have.  Also, I
apologize for the wordiness, but hopefully this will help someone else.
Here's what I've done so far:

I successfully joined the domain (actually this shows me re-joining):

# /usr/local/samba/bin/net ads join
[2003/01/30 15:30:04, 0] libads/ldap.c:ads_join_realm(1325)
  Host account for lintest already exists - deleting old account
Joined 'LINTEST' to realm 'MYDOMAIN.ORG'

Then to make sure I could actually authenticate up to the w2k ads
server:

# ../bin/smbclient //postoffice/c\$ -k
added interface ip=10.1.46.5 bcast=10.1.47.255 nmask=255.255.240.0
Doing spnego session setup (blob length=113)
Doing kerberos session setup
OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \> 

At the prompt, I was able to traverse all directories, etc.

In following the winbind documentation, I tried joining the domain again
after configuring my smb.conf file (figuring this wouldn't work since
it's quite a bit different than the 1st join command):

# bin/net rpc join -s PDC -U john.doe
[2003/01/30 16:06:41, 0] param/params.c:OpenConfFile(532)
  params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "PDC":
No such file or directory
[2003/01/30 16:06:42, 1] utils/net.c:net_find_server(224)
  no server to connect to

Unable to find a suitable server
[2003/01/30 16:06:43, 1] utils/net.c:net_find_server(224)
  no server to connect to

Unable to find a suitable server

Figuring I've already joined the domain, I proceeded in following the
documentation.  I started up winbindd (which shows as running after
issuing "ps ax"), then tried:

# bin/wbinfo -u
MYDMN+Administrator
MYDMN+Guest
MYDMN+krbtgt
MYDMN+john.doe
MYDMN+jane.smith
MYDMN+george


Which finally worked.  Then I tried:

#wbinfo -g (this worked also)

Then I tried:

#wbinfo -t 

got this:

[root@lintest samba]# bin/wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed
error code was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (0xc022)
Could not check secret

Logs show:

[2003/01/31 08:34:05, 1]
rpc_client/cli_netlogon.c:cli_nt_setup_creds(300)
  cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

  error connecting to domain password server: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Windows event viewer shows this:

The session setup from the computer LINTEST failed to authenticate. The
name of the account referenced in the security database is LINTEST$.
The following error occurred: 
Access is denied.  

I finally found a fix for this.  My nsswitch.conf file had the shadow
line incorrect.  It was:

==
## nsswitch.conf
## created by Rick

passwd: files winbind
shadow: files winbind
group:  files winbind
==

It is now:
==
## nsswitch.conf
## created by Rick

passwd: files winbind
shadow: files 
group:  files winbind
=

Amazing how such a small oversight can effect things.  

Now this works:

[root@lintest samba]# bin/wbinfo -t
checking the trust secret via RPC calls succeeded

Since this fix, my log now show:

[Samba] exel

[Luk Vermeylen]

Hi,

I'm having a weird problem.
I have exel files with links in it to other exel files.
When I share the map on a windows server (or windows os) eveything works.
When I share it on a samba server it doesn't.
When I open the file, it asks to enable macro's (I need them so say yes) -
everything fine - After that It asks if I want to rework/check the links
(don't know if reworks is the good word). If I say no, everything ok, when I
say yes, exel hangs on reworking the links. With Open Office, I don't have
this problem.
I'm using samba 2.2.5 (with acl) on a 2.2.18 kernel

ps the files are copied from he old NT4 server to the samba server. Did a
chmod -R 777  on the files to test, but don't think it's a permission
issue - can write and read the files- and if the files are open, it works
also

Luk Vermeylen


Somebody had this problem before?

It has been tested with a recent NetAPP and Samba 3.0 (alpha).  We have
got much closer to MS semantics in 3.0, so I would give that a try.

[Samba] Account Lockout using Security=Server

[Evans Chris - cevans]

  Hi all,

   I was wondering if any of you could help me out. I am not a Samba user
although we have several instances of Samba running in our organization. We
are running into a problem with Samba machines locking out user accounts in
our Windows 2000 domain. I have found a little information about this but
nothing in depth. The Samba servers are configured to use security=server
and are using our domain controllers as password servers. Every time a user
accesses one of the samba boxes 2 incorrect password attempts is logged on
the Windows 2000 domain controller. Apparently security=domain resolves this
but if possible I would like an explanation of why Samba tries to use an
incorrect password the first 2 times it tries to validate the user? Any
information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...Chris

This is what I did from the RH 8 box:
for ((i=1;i<=1000;i++)); do mkdir $i; done
ls | wc -l
1000

At your question, I made a 2GB file in 10 directories
(I couldn't create a 10GB file.. a Windows problem?):
for ((i=1;i<=10;i++)); do dd if=/dev/zero of=$i/2GB
bs=1M count=2000; done
ls | wc -l
1000

I can't explain it.  Perhaps some weird/corrupt binary
or library?  Try
rpm -Va | grep '^..5' | grep -v ' c ' | less
which will show every non-config file that has been
modified since being installed from its original RPM. 
Look at libraries and binaries in particular.

Reinstall a damaged RPM with
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --force some_package.rpm
paying special attention to any .rpmsave/orig/new
files created, which might move an original conf file
(so diff the *.rpmorig/save/new with the existing
file).

Also, ensure you are seeing the exact same files
missing each time:
ls > missing_at_12-24pm.txt

ls > missing_at_2-56pm.txt
diff missing_at_12-24pm.txt missing_at_2-56pm.txt
Any differences might tell me to look at intermittent
network connectivity... it's yet another shot in the
dark.

Sorry I could not offer more specific help; these are
the troubleshooting steps I go through when looking at
weird problems like these.

[Samba] Samba - winXP lookup

[Jens Pettersson]

Hi all,

We're using samba, and we'd tried
it with multiple Windows versions: 98, ME, 2000 and XP, in that order.
However, when we migrated from 2000 to XP, a problem apeared that was not
present in any other Windows version. Everthing works fine, excepting that
when I am using the samba shares (browsing, opening files, etc...) from time
to time I get a ~30 second lockup. During that time, the Samba shares are
unresponsive from that computer (other computers work fine).

I imagine this is probably an XP bug (since it doesn't happen in other
Windows versions). But I would like to know if anyone has this problem and
knows of a solution (from Samba or from XP).

Is there a solution to this or do we have to live with it...hopefully not ;)

Re: [Samba] ls -l hangs

[Heiko Ettelbrueck]

Hi Chris,

Chris Unger wrote:

 I just installed Samba 2.2.7a, --with-winbind --with-pam.  Everything
appears to be working great, as far as logging in, authenicating to a Windows
2000 domain, creating/saving files. BUT, when I login to the UNIX box as root
and goto the shared directory and type ls -al, all I get is:

total 4
drwxrwxrwx   2 root other512 Jan 30 09:44 .
drwxr-xr-x  32 root root1024 Jan 29 14:14 ..

 Running ls or ls -a work just fine. I am guessing it has something to do
with the users/groups.


This problem sounds familiar to me. I tried winbind on a linux box to 
allow users to log in using their win domain user. Having searched a lot 
the www (without success) and mailinglists, I finally found a posting on 
the samba-technical mailing list where somebody complained about the 
same problem.

The problem seems to be a large number of users / groups in the domain 
together with winbind seeming to get a new list of all users / groups 
each time the corresponding pam module is called.

So the question is: How large is your win domain?

I think the guy I talked about had about 15,000 users, in "mine" there 
are over 60,000. The guy's "solution" was to change to samba 3.0 (it's 
alpha status today, as far as I know), as he had success with that 
version. Concerning "my" domain, I haven't tried samba 3.0 yet as I 
haven't been at the company for two months (it's a study/work 
combination). But I think I will try when I'm back at the end of february...

Perhaps you will try sooner and tell us about your experience?

Heiko

The code actually checks for valid interfaces and compares them to the
address pattern specified. In other words:

Interface: 1.2.3.4/24, known as eth2

if: interfaces = 1.2.0.0/16
interfaces = 1.0.0.0/8
interfaces = eth2
interfaces = 1.2.3.4
interfaces = 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0

will all work fine.

OK, so there is no need to add the lo interface because it is added by
default.

Is it indeed a mistake at all to use the IP of the interface vs the

John,

many thanks for your help. I'm doing exactly this now, samba has joined
the w2k domain and security = domain, the winxp client has also joined
the w2k domain and can access the samba server without a hitch. winbind
is also working.

Re: [Samba] interfaces parameter use needs clarification

[John H Terpstra]

Chris,

>From ~samba/source/lib/interface.c:

/
interpret a single element from a interfaces= config line

This handles the following different forms:

1) wildcard interface name
2) DNS name
3) IP/masklen
4) ip/mask
5) bcast/mask
/

And from ~samba/source/lib/access.c:

/* return true if access should be allowed */
static BOOL allow_access_internal(const char **deny_list,const char
**allow_list,
const char *cname, const char *caddr)
{
const char *client[2];

client[0] = cname;
client[1] = caddr;

/* if it is loopback then always allow unless specifically denied
*/
if (strcmp(caddr, "127.0.0.1") == 0) {
/*
 * If 127.0.0.1 matches both allow and deny then allow.
 * Patch from Steve Langasek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 */
if (deny_list &&
list_match(deny_list,(const char
*)client,client_match) &&
(!allow_list ||
!list_match(allow_list,(const char
*)client, client_match))) {
return False;
}
return True;
}


Some time ago we explicitly added support for the loopback interface
because we were seeing so many users mess this up.

Cheers,

[Samba] Need help with strange "rejected the tconX on the IPC$ share"error messages.

[Chris Smith]

One Win2k client constantly generates these messages in the log:


Jan 30 16:50:32 server smbd[30271]: [2003/01/30 16:50:32, 0]
rpc_client/cli_spoolss_notify.c:spoolss_connect_to_client(134)

Jan 30 16:50:32 server smbd[30271]:   connect_to_client: machine KW1
rejected the tconX on the IPC$ share. Error was :
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.


Samba is a PDC, none of the other systems generate this error, the
problem system outwardly works just fine, all of the users can logon to
the domain and use the system.

Any clues?

Thanks.

[Samba] interfaces parameter use needs clarification

[Chris Smith]

In the thread titled:

Re: [Samba] Mandrake 9.0: rpcclient problem exporting printers to samba
for windows

There exists some advice whcih brings confusion:

> > interfaces = 10.0.0.2/24
> 
> I think this could be a problem, you should list the loopback address in
> your interfaces list (lo or 127.0.0.1)
> 

I've seen this advice before in the "Unofficial Samba HOWTO" yet it
doesn't seem to jive with the "Offical" documentation. I wish someone in
the know would spill the beans on the real truth.

The smb.conf doc states these choices:

=
The option takes a list of interface strings. Each string can be in any
of the following forms:

  * a network interface name (such as eth0). This may include
shell-like wildcards so eth* will match any interface starting
with the substring "eth"

  * an IP address. In this case the netmask is determined from the
list of interfaces obtained from the kernel

  * an IP/mask pair. 

  * a broadcast/mask pair.
=

And provides an example:

=
interfaces = eth0 192.168.2.10/24 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0
=

As well as stating the default:

=
Default: all active interfaces except 127.0.0.1 that are broadcast
capable
=

Which clearly, and seemingly purposely, leaves out the lo interface.

Furthermore in the "Unoffcial Samba HOWTO" it is stated:

=
A common mistake is to set the interfaces line to the specific IP
address of the box, when it is actually the IP subnet that your
interface is on that you want to use. Assuming your server runs on
192.168.0.1 and your netmask is 255.255.255.0, your smb.conf file should
look like:

interfaces = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1
=

However this also does not reconcile with the smb.conf manual, nor the
examples which clearly show the use of the IP address of the interface
itself as proper.

Please can someone clear this up.

Thanks.

Do you know what BIOS it used initially? Was it Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Ver. 
6.0?  It might also be worthwhile then to call Phoenix tech support. (

Also, where did you find the wrong BIOS?  Can't you go back there, find

Another approach would be to tun 'testparm' on the samba-2.0 systems and
look for the ssl and ldap entries. If not there, then support was not
comiled in.

Note: In samba-2.x testparm is verbose by default, in samba-3.x it is not.
To get samba-3.x to be verbose use the -v option.

It works!!! Thanks very much for your help!!!
I added 127.0.0.1/24 to interfaces. I also uninstalled the printer from cups 
and reinstalled it to make sure I had the process down. I actually added the 
printer from KDE print manager because CUPS does not have the driver and KDE 
does.
I had to stop and restart samba before the rpcclient setdriver command worked.

I installed (using your instructions below) the driver for my Deskjet printer 
from NT it got the drivers from the NT CD and it copied them to the samba 
printer directory. I then printed a test page and got the correct printout.

It is all so easy when you have a good understanding of what needs to be done.

Thanks again,

David

The way to do this from NT/2k is to:
1)Go to //sambabox/Printers
2)right-click on the printer, choose properties
3)When prompted to install a driver, say no
4)Click on the advanced tab, and click "New driver"
5)When prompted for the windows server CD, point it at %windir%\inf

Be careful with hosts allow unless you are sure reverse dns lookups work
for all clients.

I think this could be a problem, you should list the loopback address in

With the time spent trying to find a bios, I would go out and 
spend $80.00 for a new motherboard.  You then have a motherboard
that is newer and will support what you need.

[Samba] Using working devmode from windows clients on samba server?

[daniel . jarboe]

Samba 2.2.7a (built from samba RPM's) with LPRng print subsystem.

I've been having troubles with some print drivers which fail to work
properly when uploaded to the samba server whether devmode gets left as
null or a default devmode is used.  Some drivers do not leave you in a
position where you can "tickle" the driver to generate a devmode with
page orientation etc before things start misbehaving.  Stuff usually
works when the client installs their own drivers locally.  Is there any
way to grab the devmode generated by the windows clients and inject it
some place in samba's files to get a working devmode so driver downloads
with spools can work with these drivers?

Thanks for any suggestions,
~ Daniel

1-800-800-BIOS

They might be able to help you.

Do you know what BIOS it used initially? Was it Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Ver. 
6.0?  It might also be worthwhile then to call Phoenix tech support. ( 
http://www.phoenix.com )

Also, where did you find the wrong BIOS?  Can't you go back there, find 
a new BIOS that will work and flash it to that?  That is, why go back to 
the original (which we can't find) when you know it won't support the 
larger hard drives?  The quest should be for a new BIOS that will be 
compatible, no?

[Samba] Question about version 2.2.5

[Rodrigo Nascimento]

Hi, I'm again...

I have been studying a documentation of IBM (the Redbook) about Samba. In this
document says that to run the SWAT I can to run with any user, but to chance
something I need to log as root. 
The document speak about version 2.0.x.
About this, my question is:
It's true for version 2.2.5?


And, in this document says also that when I pass the password, it is going in
text format. It's really on SAMBA 2.2.5 too?

So long,

With samba 3.0 you can run "smbd -b" to see the build options. There
is no such option in 2.2.x code.

I figured it wasn't a directory/file number limitation, but wasn't
entirely sure...I guess this confirms it...just as a check, were there
any particularly large files/directories in there?  I know that we have
some directories that can get as big a 8 GB in size...just not sure if
size plays into this at all either...

Yep...same id...same password.

I'll double-check that and let you know...but as most of the directories
are created by a script (on the windows side), and there haven't been
any changes to the script, they *should* all be the same...but again,
I'll confirm that.

Thanks Chris, we were aware of that...but alas, this is one of those
things that was set in place before I got here, and something we just
left in place.  Fortunately, the user account used in this case is
properly sandboxed.

Tried it with no flags and with reduced options, e.g. 

mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //blahblah/Data
/blahblah/data

[Samba] samba3.0alpha21 PDC

[Jesse Jacobs]

Hello all,
First Thank you everyone(especially the samba team) for helping to make
this GREAT file/print/auth MS-RPC service. :)

Environment:
I've migrated my 2.2.7a PDC (clients XP & 98SE)configuration to the 3.0
alpha21 PDC and all is wonderful except for one thing.

Problem:
When signing in to the domain HTTPS is not allowed.  I tried using
gpedit.msc policy editor and received access denied using one of the
Domain Admins accounts.  I also tried using the Administrator account.  I
was able to use gpedit.msc when signing in to the local machine
Administrator account but was not able to locate the key for this setting
nor how to propagate to the domain policy :(.

If there's any docs that anyone could refer me to resolve this please link
me :)

Any and all help is appreciated.

TIA
Jesse

P.S.  I've recently decided to migrate the PDC to an OpenLDAP back end but
would like to resolve this first.  Any tips/pointers in this regard is
greatly appreciated as well. :)

[Samba] How to find out, if samba has SSL/LDAP support or not ?

[Jan Schäfer]

Hi,

I'm the developer of KSambaPlugin.
Is there a way to find out if samba
was compiled with SSL / LDAP support or not ?
I want to disable the options in the
case that samba doesn't support them.

Thanks,

[Samba] samba printing on Solaris 7

[Hong]

Hi all,

I'm running Solaris 7 with samba 2.2.7a and would like to 
have samba printing in place so that PC client can print 
from existing print queue "its_simx_local" on solaris 
(created via jetadmin). 

The print queue is visible in Windows Explorer. Using 
Windows "Add Printer Wizard", I installed the HP printer 
onto the PC client. However, there was no output on the 
printer when I sent a print job from the PC client. Rather 
the job is stuck in the path ("/usr/spool/samba" - mode 1777) 
that I defined in the [printers] folder in smb.conf:

woodstock:/usr/spool/samba% file *
smbprn.09.EZaOOL:   ascii text

Here are the print related entries in smb.conf:
[global]
load printers = yes
printcap name = /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
printing = sysv
  print command = /bin/lp -c -d%p %s
[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /usr/spool/samba
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = no
   writable = no
   printable = yes

And the contents of /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap:

# cat /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
its_simx_local:\
:bsdaddr=woodstock,its_simx_local,Solaris:


Any quick response would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Hong

Firstly, when you use WINS you configure one machine as your WINS server.
Then ALL SMB clients (Samba as well as MS Windows) get configured (part of
the TCP/IP stack configuration) to use that WINS server.

Now when the client starts up it registers with the WINS server. As it
starts it's networking services it registers various name types with the
WINS server also. The Domain Controllers that are providing the NETLOGON
services do this also.

The MS Windows client will then ask the WINS server for the IP address of
machines that have registered for their domain name (let's call it
MYDOMTHING) MYDOMTHING<1c> - the <1c> type means it runs the netlogon
service.

The client then connects to one of the addresses it obtained from thr WINS
server to commence the logon proceesses. WINS is you best friend - DNS
does NOT allow name type lookups that are particular to NetBIOS
networking over TCP/IP.

Please read the documentation - all of this is explained in the
Entire-HOWTO-Collection for which there is a link on the SWAT home page.

Yes, it will work. However, be aware that SERVER mode security does a few
very nasty things. Because the machine is NOT a trusted domain member it
needs to step around some old bugs. SERVER mode security causes samba to
send a bogus username/password pair before trying the real
username/password pair. It needs to do this so that an old bug that was
present in some MS Windows systems does not inadvertently allow a user
with a wrong set of credentials (username/password pair) to gain system
access. If we did not do this then it could be used as a potential root
exploit

So what does this mean? Well, if your Win2K adminsitrator has set a
lockout threashold on the number of bad logins for a user, then this may
be triggered, Alternatively, the Event log on the Win2K machine will
record errors for each authentication attempt.

The undesirability applies only to use of MS WIndows NT4/2K authentication
servers, with samba<->samba authentication this poses no issues and is how
we can achieve a BDC type role.

My clear preference is to make the samba server a full Win2K domain
member. Of course the Win2K needs to be running either in NT4 domain
security mode _or_ Active Directory in mixed mode.

"use client driver" should only be used when you want to share some 
printer drivers using RPC to Windows NT+ clients and allow other printers 
to have clients install the driver locally.  It is a horrible (but 
apparently necessary) hack.  Generally only use it on printers that really 
needit and never use when trying to serve printer drivers to Windows NT+ 
clients.  It has no effect on Windows 9x clients.

[Samba] Moterboard help Please

All,

I have been terribly pleased with openbsd 3.2 I was using it as a
mail/samba server with postifx on a pentium pro 200 with 1 gig of
memory. Well I wanted to add a larger harddrive than what I have in it
now only 6.4 gig. Well the machine would not see it and for some reason
after hours and hours of trying I can't get a tekram 395UW and a 18gig
scsi to be the boot drive and having failed I was stuck with IDE. I
finally got tired of it being this way and decided to flash the
motherboard which is a Micronics Invader ATX m8s-fin motherboard. Well
dumb me I flashed it with the wrong bios. And I can't find the original
bios on the net anywhere do any of you all have this motherboard and can
send me the bios for it or possibly know where I can find it. Any of
your help would be greatly appreciated. And before I flashed it, it did
not ask me to backup the prior bios.
I would just hate to trash this setup. The machine still works but with
this current bios only the first pci slot works which means I can't use
a nic card or anything in it.

Thank you

Yup.  It should support changes for sambaAccounts if it was compiled 
with --with-ldapsam.  If Bradley is wrong on this one, I'll be surprised.

I'm working on theory here because I haven't tested it lately.

RE: [Samba] RE: Winbind on HPUX11, Totally Stuck, Please Help

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi, Miles,
Actually on HP-UX, you will need to add the word 'debug' at the end of each
of 
the lines in you /etc/pam.conf file, to enable more debugging to go into the

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file.

One thing that I have seen something like this happen on is if the 
/etc/shells file is corrupt, or if the shell that is defined for the user
(since they don't have a /etc/passwd entry, this would be whatever you put
in
template in the smb.conf) does not exactly match one of the lines in
/etc/shells,
or the defaults, if this file does not exist.
The defaults for 11.0 are:



/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/rsh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/rksh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/keysh

Hope this helps,

>My issues are :

Before addressing the specifics of your questions:  you need to decide 
what approach to security you want to use.  This is one of the most 
complex parts of Samba, primarily because Samba acts as a bridge between

two very dissimilar systems.  Samba provides a wide variety of choices, 
because there is no "one size fits all" solution that will satisfy 
everyone.

>1. Do I need to join the domain for sharing my files with them?

No.  The primary reason for having a Samba server join an Windows domain

is to allow the Windows domain controller to do user authentication, 
rather than maintaining a separate password file on the Samba server.
It's 
your choice.

>2. Do I need to have a login account for my linux machine on windows
>domain?

While this is not normally visible to users, this is just how domain 
membership works.  The domain member computer has a special "machine 
account" on the domain controller - during authentication, the domain 
member system presents it's account password to prove to the domain 
controller that it really is the computer that it's name suggests that
it 
is.

This is not normally visible when using the Microsoft domain tools, but
it 
IS how it works underneath.  When using Samba as a domain controller,
the 
underlying mechanisms of implementing domain membership are more
visible, 
which is why the "machine account" stuff appears in the Samba 
documentation.

>3. If a windows domain member needs to view my files, does he/she need

You have some more choices here.

You need to decide what Unix userid will be used for accessing files on 
the Samba server.  If you want all connections to use the same Unix 
userid, then you should use the "guest" facility of Samba to specify the

account that will be used by all windows users connecting to Samba.

If you want to use different Unix userids for different Windows users, 
then you need to define how the accounts map to each other.  The default

is to map accounts by name:  in other words, you need a Unix account to 
match each Windows account name.  When the Windows user connects, all 
operations done on his behalf will be done using the matching Unix 
account.  Note that this is independent of how you've configured 
passwords/authentication.

You can have Samba automatically create a unix account on the fly for
each 
Windows account that successfully authenticates by using the "add user 
script" facility.

Alternatively, you can explicitly define a mapping of Windows account 
names to Unix account names using the samba "username map" facility.

On systems that support it, you can use winbindd (which isn't strictly 
part of Samba) to map Windows domain accounts and groups onto your 
Unix/Linux system.  This approach tightly binds your Unix/Samba 
environment to a Windows domain.

>4. Who will authenticate the users for file sharing, my linux box or
>windows domain controller? If so, how should

Again, you can choose to configure it either way.  If you have your
linux 
system join the domain (or use the domain controller as a password 
server), then it will be the windows domain controller doing 
authentication.  If not, it will be the linux system (probably).  There 
are other possible authentication approaches involving LDAP et. al.

[Samba] Re: Can't see all of the directories in a share with 2.2.7a-1& RH8...but older version/kernel can

[Chris de Vidal]

Update:
>From a RedHat 8 box with Samba 2.2.7a from a Samba.org
RPM, I could see 1000 directories on a Windows 2000
Pro share.

>From a RedHat 7.3 box with Samba 2.2.7a from a

I created them with a for loop from my smbmount, not
from within Windows, in case it matters.

Someone shared that the permissions were possibly
incorrect, but that would only seem to apply to a
Samba server, not smbmount.  And you're not using a
umask, so the default umask is the one from the
system, which is 0022, making permissions for folders
and files 755.

The only thing I can offer now is possibly ensuring
that the username you access from the 6.2 box is the
same you use on the 7.x+ boxen.  If the usernames were
different, perhaps permissions on Windows hide those
directories from view (but obviously not from cd).

Oh, and check the DOS permissions on those
directories.. make sure they're not hidden.  I don't
know if smbmount obeys that, but it's worth a shot.

But how does the windows client find out who the domain controller is for
a specific domain? Does WINS advertise that info too?
When I make a windows client join a domain, it never asks me for the name
of the domain controller... Just the name of the domain.

What about using security = server, point the password server at the w2k
machine and set domain logons = yes? Should this work?

[Samba] passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

[Keith Fernandez]

Hi,

I am trying to add a new user to my RedHat 8.0 System running samba 2.2.7-1a
This is the error I get.

---
[root@localhost named]# useradd -g users mandy
[root@localhost named]# passwd mandy
Changing password for user mandy.
New password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is too short
Retype new password:
Failed to find entry for user mandy.

passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
-

This error is only when I am creating a new user. Password sync happens if there is an 
existing user.
if after using useradd -g users mandy
I do a smbpassword -a mandy
then everything is fine
What could be the problem...

I would try to NOT use Samba for logon services atthei time. There are not
big issues with doing this over a WAN link so long as there are not too
many clients _and_ you have sufficient bandwidth.

You must use WINS to avoid broadcast traffic. With WINS the important UDP
traffic will be unicast. WINS can reduce UDP broadcast traffic by up to
95%. Using WINS, you clients will readilly locate the logon server. I
would recommend not using file and print shares over the WAN link though.

Look in the docs for winbind.  Winbind allows you to have windows domain
users on the unix system without creating "real" unix accounts.  In
addition to the windows domain users being able to access files that are
globally readable on the unix system, you can set user/group ownership
of the files to the windows domain users and restrict permissions
appropriately.

Re: [Samba] Dumb ? question abount Name Resolution on a full SambaDomain

[Rashkae]

I don't know why the Samba documentation suggests not using Wins Support.
It is by far a more reliable mechanism that broadcasts for Windows
networks to find hosts, and is relatively painless to set up.  You only
need 1 computer with the Wins support on, the others would all have a Wins
Server = Ip address of the computer with Wins Support.

I am puzzled by the "Wins Support" section of the smb.conf man page:

" You should not set this to yes unless you have a multi-subnetted

Does that mean that on my subnet, broadcast is as performant as direct
acces to the Name Server, even if Samba is the PDC and WINS Server ?

If the use of a name server is better, what should I use: DNS, WINS, both ?

Thanks for your comments.

[Samba] WinXP Printing Issue

[Ron Bombard]

Greetings!

I'm running Samba 2.2.5 on HP-UX 10.20.

I've recently started adding WinXP clients to my network.  Here's
my issue:

I installed a WinXP machine on the network.   I was able to add a
bunch of samba-networked printers to the Xp machine.  

I recently added 2 new printers to the network.   I added the
printer names to my samba "printcap" file.   I'm able to add
these printers to any Win98, 95 machines.   But my WinXP machine
doesn't see them.  Even if I don't "browse" for it, and just type
it in manually "\\Server\printer" it errors:

"Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Either the printer name
was typed incorrectly, or the specified printer has lost its
connection to the server."

I even removed a printer from my network, removed its printer
name from the "printcap" file.This printer STILL shows up in
WinXP.  It even lets me install it.

Is there some sort of "Cache" or something that stores this
information on WinXP machines?   Does anyone have any ideas?   It
sure would be "Handy" to be able to add printer to my network...

Thanks!
Ron

Re: [Samba] Win98 clients accessing Samba file server.

[Bart Bekker]

The home directory in win98 should be taken care of by the 'home\\server\dir\dir ' 
parameter in the [global] section, and another section
called [homes] where you put the comment, browsable, readonly, etc..
Browsing the server using win98 should show you a dir called 'homes' that
gives you access to the home dir of the username you are logged in with.
I use this for a mixed win98/win2k/winxp network without any problems.

HI All
I'm in the process of setting up my first Linux box at work, a basic file
server for all 20+ Win clients (I'm sick of paying M$ CAL) all have a 'home'
directory and all share a 'shared' directory. What my problem is, everything
is working OK with WinXP/2000 I can see the shared directory and our own
home directory on the Samba box.

With Win98 I can only see and access the shared directory. I can see and
access the home directory only if I set up a 'share' for them and give the
directory read/write access for everyone, not what I really desire.

I have gone though all the doc's that I can find and I can't find any
answers. As it's working for the WinXP/2000 I figured it probably a Win98
problem? but they are all set up according the HOW TO from Samba, as far as
I can tell.

Using RH8 & Samba 2.2.7a, have WinNT4 server as PDC and the network is
purely TCP/IP.

All and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can you send smb.conf please ?

Hello,

I had the pleasure of installing a new Linux(RH8.0)/Samba(2.2.7a) server
(as a PDC) at one of our locations this week.  They previously were
accessing a shared drive from a Win2k Pro. machine.  The migration did
not go very smooth.  Most things have been resolved, but we have some
strange issues that are still causing problems, which I was hoping
someone out there would have some insight on.

1. A day or two after the server was installed, one of the 98 machines
started locking up when opening files, or when left idle for a long
period of time.  (I know this could just be an instability of Windows
98, but being that it started just after the new server installation is
peculiar).

2. A different 98 machine can't open a particular Access 97 database. 
It can open other Access 97 files, but on this particular one, it pretty
much hangs the machine.  This same Access 97 database can be opened just
fine from another machine (a Win 95 machine in particular).  I have 
veto oplocks files = /*.mbd/*.ldb/*.dbf/*.idx/*.cdx/ (I also included
their upper case variants for good measure.) in the smb.conf file to
avoid the oplock problems.

The credibility of the new server (and Linux/Samba) and myself are not
faring well in the minds of these pleasant users, so help would be very
much appreciated.

Thank you,
Dan

[Samba] Dumb ? question abount Name Resolution on a full Samba Domain

[Pierre Lebrun]

I wonder how to configure the name resolution on the Windows network.

I am puzzled by the "Wins Support" section of the smb.conf man page:

" You should not set this to yes unless you have a multi-subnetted 
network and you wish a particular nmbd to be your WINS server "

Does that mean that on my subnet, broadcast is as performant as direct 
acces to the Name Server, even if Samba is the PDC and WINS Server ?

If the use of a name server is better, what should I use: DNS, WINS, both ?

Thanks for your comments.

Pierre

[Samba] RE: linux server completely hangs copying files with samba

[Davide Cavaleri]

final experiments;
after realizing that unloading the usb-ohci module (non even the usbcore) 
system was fine, i compiled the kernel without modules support and without 
usb. the machine crashed and actually i was really angry, becuase i thought 
i had found the problem; but finally i discovered that if usb is not loaded 
the machine crashes, but if i load it and unload it (going back to the same 
situation) it doesn't crash. obviously if i disale usb from bios everything 
in ok. maybe is something about irq, so if it is enabled in bios the ira 
(11 for me) is used. loading and unloading the module will do something 
strange to the irq handles. cat /proc/interrupts gives 0 on usb.
at this point i'm curios to find out why this happens; since i've red of 
many people having this problem maybe someone (not you, as you told me) had 
a similar situation.
don't know if it's relevant, but only once the keyboard was blocked, i had 
to unplag and plug it back (ps/2 keyb) and it was ok, checking the 
interrupts they had jumped from 1500 to about 3000 in few seconds.
going to work, nice day

[Samba] samba.src.rpm(RedHat site) VS samba.src.rpm(Samba site)

[Keith Fernandez]

Hi,

I have been checking the samba site and found a src rpm for RedHat 8.0. (2.2.7)
After checking the RedHat 8.0 updates site I found that they had a src rpm for 
samba.(2.2.7)

After looking at the spec files of both, I found that pam_smbpass was hashed in RedHat 
and unhased in the one I found at the samba
site. I need this for the smbpassword / passwd sync
Why would RedHat do this?
Also when I unhased the lines related to pam_smbpass I found that the RedHat src rpm 
gave some build errors.
Samba's src rpm didnt give any errors.

Any comments on the two src rpms.

Which one should I go in for. I am using RedHat 8.0 as my OS.

Regards,
Keith

The win2k machine is on the other side of a WAN link, a different
subnet, but the windows clients will be accessing shares on the local samba server.
Users will be created and managed in the win2k machine, that's why I need the
samba server to check passwords against the remote win2k machine.

And, since the w2k server is on a different subnet, I don't think I can make it
the logon server for my clients, or can I? I mean, broadcasts mean a lot in a
MS network...

Should I then just make the clients authenticate against the remote w2k machine
anyway? I know, in both scenarios, the w2k server will be contacted anyway, either
by the samba server or by the linux client.

It's been on my todo list for a while - in particular to allow a Samba
member server to do MSCHAPv2 authentication against a NT4 or AD domain.

Unfortunately I don't know of any patches at present (MSCHAPv1 is
possible with current infrastructure) - and I havn't had a chance to
make the mods to Samba needed for the MSCHAPv2 part.

1)Is the user dwoody in the list of "printer admin"s
2)Does the user dwoody have write access to the print$ share
3)Does the user dwoody have write access to the directories in the
print$ share (ie /var/lib/samba/printers/*)

If in doubt, please send the entire defintions of your print$ and
printers shares, and the following output:
$ grep print /etc/samba/smb.conf|egrep -v [\;\#]

BTW, using the adobe postscript drivers is really only recommended for
postscript printers, you should upload the windows native drivers from a
windows machine if you have non-postscript printers.

But, the same issues would apply.
