RE: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
Chances are you don't have the file permissions correct on the Linux side. Make sure that either the user has read rights, or that the user belongs to the group owning the file and that the group has read rights. Samba honors Linux file permissions. HTH Rick > OK.

OK. I have another question on getting samba properly configured. I'm at a point where I can see the samba server in My Network Places on my W2K domain. I've created a share to house the files on both the w2k side and the linux server. I've also created the root and my user accounts in AD.

Re: [Samba] Logon Script
Create a share [netlogon] that your users only have read access to. The logon script = parameter will then be relative to the path designated in that share. For instance, if [netlogon] points to /usr/local/samba/netlogon and you have login script = %U.bat then /usr/local/samba/netlogon/fred.bat will be launched when the user fred authenticates.

RE: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
OK! Downloaded and installed the RPM's and everything appears to be going pretty smooth as I can log in to swat and make the necessary modifications. I'm going to take a minute and read over the security options section as I'm not sure of the best option to use here. I think I'd like to use this server simply to access files from a share on a w2k server. These files would then be copied to the /wwwroot directory to be posted to my web sites. Anyone have any recommendations for which option would be best for this? Oh and thanks again for the help on this. Here's my "how I did it" for any newbies interested. Hopefully its correct: Download, Install, & Configure Samba ver2.2.7 for RH ver7.3 Download Samba ver2.2.7 RPM's 1. Download the latest version of Samba from the following location: http://updates.redhat.com/7.3/en/os/i386 2. Click the samba download link on the page. 3. The "Downloading samba-latest.tar.gz" window opens providing options for saving the file. 4. Make sure the "Save this file to disk" option is selected and click "OK" to continue. 5. The "Enter name of the file to save to." window opens prompting you to select a location to save the file to. Select the location and click "Save" to continue. 6. Click the "Close" button after the download completes. 7. Download the following Samba RPM's: samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm Install Samba ver2.2.7 1. Open a term window and navigate to the location the "samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm" file was downloaded to: cd /usr/local/samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm 2. Type the following command to install the "samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm" rpm file: rpm -ivh samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm 3. The files are installed and you should see "100%" as a sign of completion. 4. Next install the "samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm" file by typing the following command: rpm -ivh samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm 5. The files are installed and you should see "100%" as a sign of completion. 6. Next install the "samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm" file by typing the following command: rpm -ivh samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm 7. The files are installed and you should see "100%" as a sign of completion. 8. Lastly install the "samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm" file by typing the following command: rpm -ivh samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm 9. The files are installed and you should see "100%" as a sign of completion. Configure Samba ver2.2.7 1. Now that we've downloaded and configured samba onto our system, we need to edit the necessary file(s) to make the configuration changes we want. First let's check to make sure all of our samba files are installed. Do this by typing the following command: rpm -qa | grep samba 2. This should return the following: samba-swat-2.2.7-3.7.3 samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3 samba-2.2.7-3.7.3 samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3 3. This output informs us of all of the files installed with samba, including swat. Start the Samba Service and SWAT 4. Now we need to start the samba service. We do this by first navigating to the /samba directory: cd /etc/samba 5. Now we type the following command: service smb start 6. You should see the following: Starting SMB services: [OK] Starting NMB services: [OK] 7. You can also confirm the status of the samba service by using the "Service Configuration Tool". This tool allows you to stop and start the service via a GUI interface. 8. While inside of the "Service Configuration Tool" you also want to make sure the following services are checked and started: smb - Acronym for the Samba service swat - the swat service xinetd - 9. At this point the samba service is started and you're ready to log in to the swat tool. 10. Open a web browser and type the following in the "Address" field: http://127.0.0.1:901 11. This allows you to connect to swat on the local server at port 901. 12. If all goes well you should see a login window prompting you to "Enter username and password for SWAT at 127.0.0.1:901". Note: if all didn't go well you were greeted with the following error after trying to access swat: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:901". This is due to a modification that needs to be made to the "swat" file. 13. Open a term window and navigate to the /etc/inetd directory and locate the "swat" file. 14. Right-click this file, select "Open With", and choose "GNU Emacs" or "gedit". 15. Go to the last line of the file and make sure the following is showing: disable = no 16. This means if you see "Yes", change it to "no". Save and close the file when finished. 17. After saving and closing this file you need to restart the "xinetd" service. Do this by navigating to the "/etc" directory and typing the following command: cd /etc Service
Re: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
No worries... installing RPMs is SUPER simple. You'll be happier going this route: Stop samba and delete the dir (I believe /usr/local/samba).

Not to use Samba's time service which emulates the NT4 time service. Samba's time service is most useful for Win9x systems as there are no security constraints that prevent the above "net time /set" command from properly executing. For Windows 2k/XP, users without admin privileges cannot succesfully execute said command so its usefulness in a log on script for these machines is normally dubious. For Win2k/XP it is more desirable to run an ntp server and use the "net time /setsntp:1.2.3.4" where 1.2.3.4 represents the IP address of the ntp server command and these systems will sync periodically with said ntp server. In my case I run both xntpd and the Samba time service. If the logon script finds a Win9x/ME box it runs the proper "net time /set" command, otherwise it doesn't as the 2k and XP boxes will use the ntp service. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Access is Denied
In TEST 7, you haven't supplied a password, which is required of your tmp share. Other ideas: You have guest account = nobody in globals and guess only = yes in the share dennis. According to man smb.conf, no matter who you say you are, you will be logged in as nobody on that share. I am not sure if this is good or bad. I have success with guest account = ftp and security = user in global and guest ok = yes in the share. I would leave off guest only = yes, for now. You have to make sure that the permissions on the the directory allow your guest user access to the share..

I'll try the samba rpm's. I have just one question before I begin, and I apologize in advance if this sounds a little dumb. Once I download each of the rpm's do I have to configure each of them or just one of them? I could never get this question answered that's why I switched to using tar files.

Hi .. Ok .. swat isn't there because you compiled samba and installed it using the default location '/usr/local/samba-2.2.8a' .. so even if you create 'swat' manually my guess is that you'll run into other problems because of this location.

RE: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
Hi .. I didn't read the whole conversation regarding this problem. So, my advice might not be what you want. However, why are you compiling from source? Why not use RedHat RPM packages instead. It will make your life much easier, and for a newbie the default build config would suffice, I guess. The lates RedHat RPMs for Samba are of version 2.2.7 (They do contain the recent security bugfix). Unless you really want a feature available only in 2.2.8a (which is unlikely), I think that 2.2.7 would do the job for you.

RE: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
Thanks again as the responses are really appreciated. Here's what I have so far. I managed to locate the smb.conf file but it was in the: /usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/packaging/RedHat directory. Does this qualifies as having a jacked up install? Can I modify this file and then move it to where it needs to be? I located the samba project document and I'm kinda confused on something. It states that the smb.conf isn't created and that I need to create one. It then states that I need to put the smb.conf file in the same place I specified with the make install command. Does this mean I have to create a smb.file and place it in the /usr/local/samba directory or do I move this smb.conf file, located in /usr/local/samba-2.2.8a/packaging/RedHat, to the /usr/local/samba/lib directory? I also continue to get No such file or directory errors when I attempt either of the following: /etc/init.d/swat start This gives me a Permission denied error: /etc/xinetd.d/swat start I get this error even while logged in as root.

Marv, Don't worry. You don't sound lazy, ungrateful or a peasant. This is precisely why the list exists. Besides, I'm not the kind of mook to say "RTFM" to anyone. :-) The only thing I can think of with Swat that you may have missed was starting it. Look in /etc/init.d for "swat". If it's there, type: # > /etc/init.d/swat start. Truth to tell, I haven't used or installed swat in a while, and I think it's possible that it's now in /etc/xinetd.d, which means that you need to edit the "swat" startup file in that directory and then hup the xinetd daemon. That should start it up. By default most xinetd scripts are disabled at install, and xinetd is not restarted by the installer. If all you need is JUST a few directories, you may able to get by without swat and just edit the smb.conf file following some of the examples at the end. It's fairly straightforward. The conf file is located (if you followed my second install example) in /etc/samba/smb.conf. Otherwise, i think it's in /usr/local/samba/var/lib... i THINK if you followed my first configure example. Either way just "find / -name smb.conf" should locate it for you. Best of luck.

Re: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
Try this command to enable swat on RedHat: # chkconfig --level 35 swat on swat is controlled by xinetd. To start it automatically everytime the system start do this: # chkconfig --level 35 xinetd on To start xinetd manually do this: # service xinetd start Finally, check the swat xinetd config file '/etc/xinetd.d/swat'. See if there is a line that only allows local access and comment it out if your want to access swat from a browser on a different machine. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I have a debian linux computer called 'dads' and a win98 conputer called 'moms' I want to be able to transfer files from 'moms' to 'dads' using samba.

Re: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...
Marv, Don't worry. You don't sound lazy, ungrateful or a peasant. This is precisely why the list exists. Besides, I'm not the kind of mook to say "RTFM" to anyone. :-) The only thing I can think of with Swat that you may have missed was starting it. Look in /etc/init.d for "swat". If it's there, type: # > /etc/init.d/swat start. Truth to tell, I haven't used or installed swat in a while, and I think it's possible that it's now in /etc/xinetd.d, which means that you need to edit the "swat" startup file in that directory and then hup the xinetd daemon. That should start it up. By default most xinetd scripts are disabled at install, and xinetd is not restarted by the installer. If all you need is JUST a few directories, you may able to get by without swat and just edit the smb.conf file following some of the examples at the end. It's fairly straightforward. The conf file is located (if you followed my second install example) in /etc/samba/smb.conf. Otherwise, i think it's in /usr/local/samba/var/lib... i THINK if you followed my first configure example. Either way just "find / -name smb.conf" should locate it for you. Best of luck.

To enable swat, you have to edit inetd.conf or its equivalent in xinetd. I don't use Redhat so I cannot be much more specific.

Re: [Samba] No password for specific IP address?
This seems easy enough. In your global section, you could have something like this: include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%I Create a file: /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.IPofSlowBox In this smb.conf you can put specific parameters to allow this box a passwordless login. The exact method you use will depend on what you are trying to do. I am too rusty on this stuff to offer any more specific advice a this point. You might be able to do the same thing with the config parameter. config file = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%I Read all about it in man smb.conf Joel On Sat, Jun 07, 2003 at 12:43:29PM -0400, Subba Rao wrote: > Hi, > > I have a slow Windows NT system.

I just tried going back to samba3.0a22 which I had running previously on the same server with the same strange results (same samba config file).

Tori Thanks for the mini tutorial on getting started with samba, it helped a great deal as I was able to compile and install after locating ./configure in the source directory. Not to sound like a lazy ungrateful peasant but I'm unable to log in to swat by typing http://localhost:901. Am I missing something here? I'm currently trying to locate an updated doc for 2.2.8a that covers setting up the swat tool and creating the shares. This is for my home network so I'm not tryiing to do anything fancy; just create a few folders for some files I'll be adding to my linux web server. Thanks again -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tori Williamson Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 1:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3... Marv, You do need to run configure for a source tarball... you just haven't found the config script yet. :-) In the samba-2.2.8a directory, go into the directory labeled "source". You'll find the configure script there. My advice is, if this is the first time installing Samba, run your install thusly: #samba-2.2.8a > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba #samba-2.2.8a > make #samba-2.2.8a > make install The reason I suggest setting the prefix as /usr/local/samba and no other config options, is that this will put samba in a singular space and allow you time to monkey with it in a closed directory. Then when your comfortable with samba and it's files and configurations, you can wipe the /usr/local/samba dir (thus trashing ALL of the files) and run the configure with WHATEVER path your heart desires. My advice is something like this install: #samba-2.2.8a > ./configure --prefix=/usr --configdir=/etc/samba --what-ever-other-config-op tions-you-want #samba-2.2.8a > make #samba-2.2.8a > find /* > samba1 #samba-2.2.8a > make install #samba-2.2.8a > find /* > samba2 #samba-2.2.8a > diff samba1 samba2 > samba-installed Why the two find and diff statements? Well, you'll see that I offer /usr as the prefix dir, you'r files will be scattered. Doing a find before AND after the install and diffing the two find files will create a file (called samba-installed) with the locations of all the samba files. quite handy. If you don't feel comfortable with that, and want an easier way to manage the install (and if necessary the UNinstall) of Samba, you can download the latest samba SRPM file from Samba.org here: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/RedHat/SRPMS/samba-2.2.8a -1.s rc.rpm Just install rpm-build from the 7.3 RPMS, and after downloading the src.rpm, run: #dir > rpm -ivh samba-2.2.8a-1.src.rpm then change to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and edit the samba.spec file to make the config changes you want. Then: #SPECS > rpm -bb samba.spec This will place the samba-common, samba-client, samba-server & samba-swat RPMS in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 and you can install the latest samba version from samba.org via RPM. Lastly, I offer up the suggestion of obtaining "Using Samba" from O'Reilly & Assc. A VERY handy book for samba admins of any level. And the latest edition covers Samba 3. You can also do a google search for "samba redhat HOWTO" Good luck!

Re: [Samba] how run samba in background?
Doesn't just adding -D to the command make it run in the background? For example: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D Joel On Sat, Jun 07, 2003 at 11:46:01AM +0200, Arnold wrote: > hi, > I'm trying to run samba from console with an Startup Script in background. > (i can start this script manuel with /etc/init.d/./samba.init > but after reboot samba daemons are stoped) > the Startup Script is in /etc/init.d/samba.init. > > I run this Script with chkconfig in runlevel 35 : > #chkconfig samba.init 35 > I get no Errors, but samba is runing too. > > ??? > Thank you, > > henry > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Not that I know, but any scripting language
can accomplish that without much sweat, e.g.
for i in $(smbstatus | awk '
BEGIN {do getline;while(substr($0,1,1)!="-")}
$0 == "" { exit }
{print $5 }' | sort | uniq)
do echo "Attention." | smbclient -M $i
done
which pops up and "Attention." window on each
active user's screen exactly once.
It's up to you to add some eye-candy with a
squirt of Tcl/TK or something.

[Samba] Samba over netbeui partial success.
Hi samba people, in case someone is interested (which I actually hope), I've got samba 2.2.8a running over raw netbeui (no tcp/ip at all) on 2.4.20 x86 linux (great thanks go to Procom inc., A.C. de Melo and Balatoni Denes) I've fixed some most critical stability issues, but there are still some noticable problems remaining, and unfortunately I don't have enough time to continue testing and debugging right now. The stuff that I'm currently running is available at http://zhubr.tamb.ru/netbeui and http://zhubr.tamb.ru/samba I'd be happy if someone investigated it further and fixed some more bugs :) Note: I'm not subscribed, please CC me when replying. -- Best regards, Nikolai Zhubr -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] how run samba in background?
hi, I'm trying to run samba from console with an Startup Script in background. (i can start this script manuel with /etc/init.d/./samba.init but after reboot samba daemons are stoped) the Startup Script is in /etc/init.d/samba.init. I run this Script with chkconfig in runlevel 35 : #chkconfig samba.init 35 I get no Errors, but samba is runing too. ???
