Re: [Samba] Switch profile from local to roaming?

2004-09-30 Thread deff
You had your answers right in front of ya.
Every xp includes Files and Settings transfer wizard (accessories-system 
tools) for this job.
It's simple :
1. login as local user, run wizard, select old computer, select some directory 
to store your data, click next, wait till its done, logoff.
2. login as new user, run wizard, select new computer, find directory you 
stored your data to, click next, wait till its done, relogon.

You're done. 

Migrated some 20 pcs with it and it was a breeze, however, there might be some 
issues with file ownerships, but users don't complain so neither do I.

 So what is the real way to get this accomplished?

I am having the same problem. Refresh does not clear the jobs, and CUPS

SUMMARY [Samba] Problems with Samba 3.0.5 only seeing 1360 files on a share to a Windows 2000

2004-09-30 Thread Jaouich . Cyril
Hi,

I was having problems with Windows 2000 not seeing all files on a
share. It would only show a certain number of files. The solution was to get
rid of the Windows 2000. Just kidding, actually the problem was with the
character set, when I configured the the unix character set to ISO-8859-1,
we saw all the files.

Thanks

Objet : [Samba] Problems with Samba 3.0.5 only seeing 1360 files on a share
to a Windows 2000


Hi,

I have a share:

[share]
path = /appl/md/data
valid users = +asd
write list = +asd
read only = No
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775

And it has directories that have 3000 files in them, but when I look
at the same directory thru a Windows 2000, I only see 1360 files, no more.
If I type the path a file that isn't shown in the directory listing, I can
get to it. Also if I create a new file in the directory, it gets created,
but doesn't show in the directory list.

Any ideas? Looks like a Windows thing, but...

Thanks

Holy old version Batman.  Upgrade to at least the latest stable 2.2.x 
(currently 12 as of this morning) or better yet go up to the latest 
3.0.x which I believe is 7.  There are known issues with SP2 printing

[Samba] Domain member server with local users

2004-09-30 Thread Daniel Frank
Hi,

I'm trying to build a samba server that shall substitue one of our NT4
servers but I'm having some problems with setting up the local user account:
The NT4 server was member of a ressource domain (R1) and also had a local
user account named bcd which is needed for a boot-cd. Normal users
authenticated through the master domains M1 and M2 which has all the
necessary trusts setup and working.
For samba I'm using 3.0.7-Debian. I've setup winbindd and joined samba to
the domain (security = domain). Authentication is working for domain users
from M1 and M2 so this seems to be fine. Then I've added a linux user bcd
and a samba user bcd (smbpasswd -a bcd) to allow authentication from the
boot-cd. But this does not work, after a few seconds I always get the error
that no logon server is available.
To work around this, I tried to include /etc/samba/%Dauth.conf to let me
create one auth.conf (containing security = user) for the bcd user),
M1auth.conf and M2auth.conf (containing the settings needed for
authenticating against the domain) but acording to the log samba always uses
the auth.conf which results in the domain users unable to authenticate.
Google didn't show anything useful.

How can the non-domain user authenticate against the samba server while the
domain users are still able to access the server? I've attached my config
and a few lines from the log below.

Thanks for taking your time,

Daniel Frank

Re: [Samba] Puzzle -- Logon/Login from Windows XP

2004-09-30 Thread AndyLiebman
In a message dated 9/30/2004 1:55:16 AM Eastern Daylight Time, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
 writes:
 Long answer: a limitation of Windows is that when you connect via SMB to 

 a remote server, all connections to that server must use the same 
 credentials. If you are connected to \\sambaserver\datafiles as the user 
 *nigel* and wish to connect to \\sambaserver\frederick (which is 
 accessible only to the user *frederick*), the Windows workstation 
 attempts to connect as *nigel*. In order to connect as *frederick* you 
 must break all connections to that server. Simply put, you cannot make 
 two connections to a server from one workstation with two different sets 
 of credentials.

Thanks Jon, 

To further clarify the situation, User 2 will only want to connect to User 
2-specific shares after User 1 logs off the Windows workstation. So, in 
theory, logging off should close all network connections. 

After User 1 logs off, User 2 goes to Microsoft Windows Network in Explorer 
and sees the following: 

   -  Workgroup_Name
   + Samba Server
   + Workstation 1
   + Workstation 2
   + Etc... 

If User 2 clicks on Samba Server he sees: 

   -  Workgroup_Name
   -  Samba Server
  [  ]  Public Share
  [  ]  Printers and Faxes
   + Workstation 1
   + Workstation 2
   + Etc... 

What user 2 doesn't see is his own private shares. If he clicks on Public 
Share, then when a few moments later he'll see this in Explorer: 

   -  Workgroup_Name
   -  Samba Server
  [  ]  Public Share available to Members of the Workgroup Only
  [  ]  User 2 Private Share A
  [  ]  User 2 Private Share B
  [  ]  Printers and Faxes
   + Workstation 1
   + Workstation 2
   + Etc... 

I can create a similar effect if I am NOT logged on to the Windows 
workstation as a recognized Samba user by doing the following: 

So now, User 2 is logged on as Non Samba User and can see the following. 

   -  Workgroup_Name
   -  Samba Server
  [  ]  Public Share
  [  ]  Printers and Faxes
   + Workstation 1
   + Workstation 2
   + Etc... 


If he clicks on Public Share, he gets an error message that the share is 
not accessible You might not havepermission to use this network resource. 
Contact the administrator...  

However, if he maps the Public Share as a network drive, and selects 
Connect using a different username and inputs his own username and password, when 
he comes back to Explorer he sees this: 

   -  Workgroup_Name
   -  Samba Server
  [  ]  Public Share available to Members of the Workgroup Only
  [  ]  User 2 Private Share A
  [  ]  User 2 Private Share B
  [  ]  Printers and Faxes
   + Workstation 1
   + Workstation 2
   + Etc... 
 
Same as above, when User 2 logged on to the Windows machine as himself. 

So, the question is, why isn't Windows asking for a username and password 
when User 2 clicks on Public Share, and instead giving an error message. And why 
isn't Windows asking for a username and password when User 2 clicks on Samba 
Server. Why is it showing User 2 the Public Share available to Members of 
the Workgroup Only when it's not clear yet that User 2 is even a member of the 
workgroup? 

When I try to connect from one Windows workstation (# 2)  to another (#1) , 
unless I'm logged on to workstation 2 as a user who has an account on 
workstation 1, I get a dialog box asking me for a username and password BEFORE I can 
see any shares on workstation 1. 

Do you think that with my Samba Server the fact that I'm SEEING that Public 
Share available only to members of the workgroup even though I can't access 
it is somehow related to why I'm not getting the username and password prompt? 

I really don't want to go down the Domain route. The servers I'm building 
need to be accessed by a large number of ever changing workstations ( including 
laptops that will come and go) and I don't want to create a nightmare for the 
person who has to administer the systems. If they have to constantly add 
computers to the domain, that will be a problem.

might cause a setting or two to get left out.  It is conceivable that
 

Most of the issues are application level things that you can't 
reasonably expect it to migrate, like say Mozilla data folders in the 
prefs.js files, and other things of the type that have file based 
settings.  HOWEVER, I still toss a YMMV on it because I haven't played 
with a migrated profile that much.  As a developer, my profiles are so 
screwed up that I usually just rebuild them... oh wait, I'm using one 
now... works pretty good ;)

[Samba] Redhat, Samba 4, Kerberos, Netscape Directory Server

2004-09-30 Thread Christian Merrill
As you may have heard Redhat just recently acquired Netscape's Directory 
Server.  I am curious about any potential compatibility issues that we 
may run into down the road with Samba 4.  In particular can any 
integration be done with Netscapes LDAP and are we going to be facing 
any major issues if we remain on MIT kerberos?

Any thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Well... It looks like a job way over my head. :o(

The only thing I can see is that request come to Samba for a connection
without any Domain or User specified and instead of letting this connection to
be a guest connection Samba just give up and exit. Plus, on exit it gets a
Segmentation Fault (Signal 11). I probably, shouldn't be surprised about this
SegFault since code shows that Samba 2.9.9 isn't quite well adjusted to User
and Domain being NULL during request. Plus, according to log it starts to show
user as 'no' at some point instead of an empty string which could be an
indication of memory overide... This also could be the cause of the not able
to login problem you see.

So, my conclusion: Have you ever thought about moving to Samba 3.x? ;o)
There's still some activity to patch things when they don't work well with
Samba 3.x. Unfortunately, I couldn't say that about Samba 2.x.

Hope you find some value in my answer,

everyone run their software from the network share as to ensure consistency,

of them) is really suitable for being deployed in that fashion.
 

Try a 1.1GB app with the main executable being 131MB and run by 60+ 
users at once.  That really is the best way to run this particular app 
(Pro/Engineer) as that way the config files all point to the same

around and fix it you either change it once and it just works or you 
change it, script a push to all the clients, and then run around fixing 
the ones that didn't work for some reason, which assumes the users have 
permission to replace system executables.  I'll pick the network option 
personally.

I would say that your vendor is being unreasonable, and that you are 
correct to want to run these locally.

A few questions to think about :
How often do you update the application ? If it's only every few 
months, then there's no problem.

Do you ever do it while users are working ? Well you shouldn't be ! 
And what does the vendor propose to do about the problem of changing 
a binary whilst it is in use ? Having said that, I have done in-place 
upgrades on Unix systems by MOVING the original file and slipping the 
new one into place - if it's in use then the system will continue to 
use the old file (referenced by inode no, not file name) until it is 
closed.

Do you have (or do you ever expect to have, any remote workers ? If 
so then there is no way (even on Broadband/ADSL) that you want users 
sucking that sort of file size down the pipe.

One way of dealing with the issue is to make all the users log out 
and back in again when you upgrade. Another might be to run a 
scheduled task that periodically does an XCOPY, but then you'll run 
into problems of the program crashing when you change the binary 
running (or more likely a file in use error).

rsync is available on both platforms and could be scripted in a bat 
script.

Why don't you just set up an application share?  I run OpenOffice and MS 
Office from a share that I have mapped to network drives on the clients.

Also, I think if you place the files in a directory on the Linux box and 
then put links from each user directory to the application directory, 
you can even avoid mapping drives. Perms/Ownership might get tricky 
though. Should be safe, despite certain Samba bugs, since the link is 
from the user's directory to an outside directory rather than vice versa.

Real time synchronization might be a good idea for a VFS module.  One 
might even use something like that to get around having to set up 
re-directed folders etc. Could be a nice way to fool Windows into 
functioning a little more like NFS with less setup on the client side.

Admittedly, this place has a sub-optimal network setup; the Samba box and DB
server are plugged into one switch, which has the uplink port from another
switch plugged into it. This second switch has workstations plugged into it
and a cable running from (you guessed it) the uplink port of yet another
switch that services workstations - all connections are 100 Mb.

 
 This app doesn't run any database or anything, so if you're doing that
 then you could be looking at some issues.
 

There is a DB server in place, which is one reason I'd prefer to keep the
network traffic low as to not tie the DB server up waiting to send result
sets down the wire. The app does a lot of processing on both the client and
server side, and neither side massively efficient (hint: the DB server and
client-side libraries both come from www.guptaworldwide.com).

 I'll check the load up times when I get back into the office.  The app

Sounds like an excellent testimonial to hit clients with that are

 use the old file (referenced by inode no, not file name) until it is
 closed.

An excellent point. They often do such things whilst people are working. If
I recall correctly, Windows' VM model does not horde executable data in swap
space (which is why compressed executables stay compressed or something -
I'd have to look at UPX's docs). Considering it's Windows, I don't like the
idea of trying to move such things around, even if Windows should lock
running executables.


Further, do you know offhand if the trick you use above carries across the
UNIX-Windows divide that Samba takes care of? I know that Samba will use FDs
to reference things, but SMB is a complicated protocol...

 
 Do you have (or do you ever expect to have, any remote workers ? If
 so then there is no way (even on Broadband/ADSL) that you want users
 sucking that sort of file size down the pipe.

We do have remote workers, and they run the app locally with only queries
and result sets traversing the wire. That said, rsync makes short work of
that problem for keeping remote installs in sync.

 
 One way of dealing with the issue is to make all the users log out
 and back in again when you upgrade. Another might be to run a
 scheduled task that periodically does an XCOPY, but then you'll run
 into problems of the program crashing when you change the binary
 running (or more likely a file in use error).

I was thinking of using dnotify / FAM and a conditional script. Most of the
DLLs will never change, the same for the executables. How Gupta's products
handle .QRP files changing underfoot will be interesting...

[Samba] WINS names intermittently unregister after 5 days

2004-09-30 Thread Leon Stringer
Hi,

(I posted this question about 6 months ago and never really got anywhere
with it so I thought I'd try again.)

We're using Samba as a WINS server. Windows servers appear to correctly
register themselves and I can look them up e.g. with nmblookup.

However some servers lose their registration after 5 days. And it's the
same servers, about 4 (of about 25 servers and 200 workstations).

I can't find any similarity between these servers, there's one NT 4
server and 3 Win2000 servers with varying service packs. I can get the
names to re-register by restarting the server but this registration is
again lost after 5 days.

Does anyone have any experience of this or can suggest any tests to help
me troubleshoot?

(I realize this problem probably isn't Samba's fault but I can't find
any reference to this issue anywhere else).

Samba 3.0.4 on RedHat 9.0.

Thanks,

Leon...

This sort of update happens every few months.

In principal, but I know Samba has it's own locking mechanism and I 
don't know if that works by file name or file id - hopefully one of 
the people with knowledge of the internal could answer that one.

As long as the Samba locking uses inodes and not filenames, then I 
see no reason it shouldn't work.

 Hi 

[Samba] Moving from Samba 2.2.8 to 3.x

2004-09-30 Thread Bruce Embrey
Samba Users:



I work in a Windows 2000 mixed mode environment. Soon they will be
switching to 2000 native mode running active directory. Currently I have
a samba server that is a member server in a NT domain. When a user from
the NT domain attaches to the samba server it automatically creates
their account and their home directory share (through a script).



I imagine that I will need to generate a new SID for this machine to be
a member of the new domain. Once I upgrade the software from 2.2.8 to
3.x will it behave they same as it did before or do I need to contend
with additional configuration changes? Any assistance would be
appreciated either direct or any urls that I can refer to.

 Hi all!
 
 I'm looking for a method of doing the following, given that I'm taking care
 of a network with a Samba 3.0.6 box (running Mandrake 10.0) acting as a PDC
 for about 15 W2K boxes:
 
 . There is a share full of program files and data files on the Samba box
 . These files are currently synchronized at logon - all movement is from the
 server to the clients via a logon script using XCOPY /D
 
 I want to engineer a solution that would allow updates of the share to have
 changes propagated out to clients as the share is updated without the users
 being made aware. Essentially, the software vendor is demanding that
 everyone run their software from the network share as to ensure consistency,
 but I hardly think a 300 MB application with 15 MB (!!) executables (about 8
 of them) is really suitable for being deployed in that fashion.
 
 All comments appreciated!

[Samba] Win2003 ADS member server - almost working, ideas?

2004-09-30 Thread BSD Samba
I am attempting to install a Samba-3.0.0,1 on FreeBSD
5.2.1-RELEASE server to an existing Windows 2003

I've followed Chapter 6 of the HOWTO man to get as far
as I have.

#kinit gooduser   --successfully gets a kerberos
ticket
#wbinfo --authenticate=gooduser%goodpassword  --
successfully authenticates all user accounts (that
I've tested)

#wbinfo -u yields Error geting Domain Users
#wbinfo -g yields Error geting Domain Groups

and any user accounts I newly create in AD since
joining the Samba3 server as a Domain member are
successfully able to authenticate and access the
Samba3 server.

However, pre-existing AD users are not able to access
the Samba3 server.  These accounts get an error
NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE.

I noted some mention in various places of a quirk
requiring the changing of domain passwords to allow
something to work - which I've tried to no avail.

New AD accounts work fine, pre-existing accounts
don't.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this quirk
would be greatly appreciated.

Is this a known error between samba and ldap?

Other tools that I use to administer the users database also can´t show all

Re: [Samba] WINS names intermittently unregister after 5 days

2004-09-30 Thread Bob Bob
Hi Leon
Realising it isnt quite relevent to your posting, I had trouble sometime 
ago with our company PDC's WINS record disappearing from the corporate 
WINS box. Rebooting our PDC would make it appear again.

In our case we never did quite resolve the reason (both NT4 boxes) but 
doing a manual clean on the WINS servers (about 4 of them) fixed it. 
There was some thought that errant data was being propogated in a 
circle. What I am getting at here is similar things happen with the M$ 
product.

I'll admit that I dont know how to display the status of the Samba WINS 
service. If you can figure out how to have a look at the age/timout of 
the record and whether any duplicate names have occurred. Do an nbstat 
on the M$ boxes too to see if and conflicts have occurred.

Does using lmhosts (say on the dissappearing servers) stop WINS lookups 
(and hence refreshing) after a while? Just a thought.

Might be worthwhile checking whether the four servers in question starts 
as a master browser or not, and whether during an election sends 
different data to the WINS server. Have a look at the event logs after 
startup. I have no idea whether this might cause a problem, it is the 
only thing I could come up with when trying to debug our fix.

Apologies for not being much more use on this.
Cheers Bob

Hi all,
I tried to add a new user to a Samba share, I did all the usual: made a Unix account 
on the Unix server for the user which was the same as the user's window's UID. Put her 
name as a valid user for that directory in server:/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf, and stopped 
and started server:/sbin/init.d/samba server; nothing worked.

Interesting observations: 1- After performing the steps described above, I do a 
server# /opt/samba/bin/testparm and don't even see the new user's name for that 
particular Samba share. 2- Samba is working fine for all the previously defined users 
in smb.conf.

Many thanks in advance and best regards.

I have found the following - If you migrate a domain to samba, promote
samba to PDC status, the existing NT4 machine that was the PDC/BDC
doesn't work well and in fact, you have to stop netlogon service to use
it at all. Yours was the type of error I received when running
usrmgr.exe on that machine until I stopped netlogon service.

It is also possible that on your LDAP setup, the machine accounts aren't
being found by samba/LDAP.

User Manager for Domains (usrmgr.exe) does work if you are running it on
a computer attached to the domain and current logon has Domain
Administrator privileges. If it fails to run, one or both of these
issues need to be looked at.

 And net rpc trustdom list -UAdministrator%passwd gives me:
 
 Trusted domains list:
 
 OTHER-DOM S-1-5-21-136393487-307246644-928725530

almost sounds like samba is having trouble querying LDAP.

 
 Is this a known error between samba and ldap?

NO - things can work well when they work

 
 Other tools that I use to administer the users database also cant show all
 imported users. Just about 500. Is this correct?
-
don't know what tools you are talking about but
getent passwd
should give you all of the listings in /etc/passwd first, then all of
the contents in LDAP (similar results for getent group) It is possible
that you can have limits on a return from ldap query but that is beyond
the scope of samba list.

[Samba] samba printing and disk quotas in Active Directory domain

2004-09-30 Thread Wilkins, Vern
I've recently made a great deal of progress getting ready to roll out
linux workstations in our Windows Active Directory environment.  There
are a couple of very significant problems I'm stuck with though, one of
which is definitely Samba related, and the other which is borderline
Samba related.

 

Problem 1 - Printing from Linux to Windows print servers

 

I have read all the documentation I could find on this subject and it
appears that CUPS and Samba work fairly well together for this purpose.
The problem is that our AD domain is well over 4 users.  The only
way I see to print to a windows print server is by embedding the
username/password combo in a CUPS URI, something like
smb://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/printersharename. That doesn't work well
on a workstation where users are going to be logging in with their
Active Directory accounts, via Winbind.  It appears to me that even
though I am using Kerberos, there's no way to seamlessly pass the
credentials used to login, to the print server.   Is this a limitation
of CUPS or is it a Samba limitation?  I thought of writing a script and
having a shortcut to it on the desktop to setup printing.  The script
would prompt users again for credentials to setup a printer, and then
setup the printer using lpadmin with the URI format above.  Since CUPS
and/or Samba handles the username:password combo in the URI in clear
text, that's not really a good option though.  It states in the Samba
documentation that although the URI is sanitized in certain instances,
such as logging, the username and password are in clear text in some
places, such as the process list.  I feel like I must be missing
something.  It seems odd that if Samba already has Kerberos and AD
integration, not being able to seamlessly pass those credentials to
Windows machines in the domain for printing, would be a very significant
limitation.  Has anyone come up with a better way to deal with printing
in such an environment?  Also, I don't have any other options for
printing because our university utilizes a printing quota system that
must receive the Active Directory credentials (i.e. I can't bypass
authentication or use a guest account).

 

Problem 2 - Using quotas for Active Directory accounts

 

I'm using Winbind so that users can login to our Linux workstations with
their Active Directory accounts.  This works fine but it seems there is
no good way to use quotas, partly because of the huge number of users in
our environment.  This seems to be primarily a quota utilities problem
since the utilities don't to my knowledge provide the functionality that
I would find most useful.  Being able to set a quota for example on all
users with a UID greater than X for example, or having a group quota
apply to individuals in that group rather than the group as a whole.
For example, being able to set a soft limit of 100K for the group
Users and having that be the quota for each individual in the group,
rather than the quota for all individuals in that group combined.  I
realize this is certainly a limitation of the quota utilities rather
than Samba, but in my opinion it severely limits the use of Winbind in a
large enterprise environment.  Any suggestions for getting around this
issue?  Basically I just need a way to set a quota for all 40,000+ users
whose accounts exist in Active Directory, not on the Linux workstations.

 

Thanks,
Vern

[Samba] name resolution between windows and samba

2004-09-30 Thread Tim Harvey
I've got a simple anonymous read/write samba server with the following
configuration:

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = FILESERVER 
security = SHARE
server string = NAS Server
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

[data]
comment = RAID5 Share 
path = /data
force user = nobody
force group = nobody
read only = No
guest ok = Yes


On the same network I have a WinXP system (named 'WINXP') and a Win98 system
(named 'WIN98') all connected through a Linksys firewall/gateway using DHCP
from the Linksys.  Everything seems to work fine via windows 'network
neighborhood', however I'm having some difficulties understanding what I
need for proper name resolution outside of network neighborhood.  

For example, I wish to be able to drop to a dos box on a windows machine and
do a 'telnet fileserver', however 'fileserver' is not resolved.  I realize I
can edit the hosts file on each windows system but if fileserver has DHCP
address this doesn't work.  Additionally I wish to be able to 'ping winxp'
from the fileserver, but there is no name resolution.

Basically, what I do not understand is how to implement netbios to tcp/ip
name mapping.  Can anyone give me some suggestions or point me to the
relevant docs.  I've read through a lot of the samba docs, but I do still
not understand this aspect.

Thanks,

Tim

Does id username work? if that's the case, sounds like you have
multiple smb.conf files
do testparm /path/to/smb.conf
make sure your /etc/init.d/smb points to the correct smb.conf file.

RE: [Samba] Can't add new users

2004-09-30 Thread Bryant, Steven R.
I believe in addition to a Unix account, each user also needs to be entered as a SAMBA 
user. The smbpasswd file shows the SAMBA users along with their encrypted passwords.
To add a SAMBA user:
 smbpasswd [userid]
you'll be prompted to enter a password for the new user and then to confirm it.

that should do it.

I'll guess that viewing the file smbpasswd right now, you'll see the users listed 
there that do already work with the SAMBA shares...


Hope this helps,

Steve

[Samba] winbind apache htaccess

2004-09-30 Thread Eric Stevenson
hello all,

im sorry if this is the wrong list to address this topic. if this is the
case, id appreciate a pointer to the right list. 


id like to be able to restrict access to apache dirs with an .htaccess file.
instead of using the local linux user.group database, id like to use our
Active Directory user account. I was able to get this to work through the
use of mod_auth_kerb, but have since learned that there is no support for NT
groups with this method. Poking around the internet has led me to winbind.

I'd like to use something similar to the 'require group' directive in an
.htaccess file. The required group will exist in Active Directory. For
example, In Active Directory, we have a group named CVS-DEVS. We'd like only
the members of CVS-DEVS to be able to authenticate to the apache site
protected by the .htaccess file. 

As far as I can tell, this is possible, though i havent been able to find
enough specific information on how to install / configure such an
environment.

Im hoping someone here would be so kind as to point me in the right
direction of more information, or the appropriate forum to address such a
topic.

all flames, advice, experiences, ideas welcome.

thanks.

Hi all!
 
I'm looking for a method of doing the following, given that I'm taking care
of a network with a Samba 3.0.6 box (running Mandrake 10.0) acting as a PDC
for about 15 W2K boxes:
 
. There is a share full of program files and data files on the Samba box
. These files are currently synchronized at logon - all movement is from the
server to the clients via a logon script using XCOPY /D
 
I want to engineer a solution that would allow updates of the share to have
changes propagated out to clients as the share is updated without the users
being made aware. Essentially, the software vendor is demanding that
everyone run their software from the network share as to ensure consistency,
but I hardly think a 300 MB application with 15 MB (!!) executables (about 8
of them) is really suitable for being deployed in that fashion.
 
All comments appreciated!

[Samba] Renamed Samba Domain, now machine accounts fail

2004-09-30 Thread Zack Lawson
Hello Everyone,

Situation:
I have been testing Samba-3.07 for its NT4 domain functionality so that
I can migrate from Samba-2.2. I had setup the Samba domain and
everything was working quite well. I had initially been working with a
domain called TEST. Now that I am finished with my initial testing, I
wanted to rename the domain to something I would be able to keep. After
changing workgroup = test to workgroup = interact, many problems
followed.

Obviously doing this causes problems with the SID, and any machine
accounts that are attached to this domain. I have since removed all
system accounts, but I can not log in to the domain. When trying to add
a machine to the domain, everything seems to be working. The machine
account gets added to the passwd file and the smbpasswd file, and the
workstation reports that it joined the domain successfully. After a
reboot, when trying to log in, I get the error The system cannot log
you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its
primary domain is missing or the password on that account is correct.
I have monitored what happens when the workstation adds itself to the
domain, and the machine account is getting added at that time.

Do I have a problem with my SID? I don't have an existing SID that i
care about, so if I want to reset the SID to something else ... what
should I set it to?

[Samba] Samba Upgrade

2004-09-30 Thread jan ardosa
Hi guys! I have a samba 3.0.5pre1 installed in my system and using openldap 2.2.13 and 
it's working OK except for the annoying desktop.ini popping up everytime an ordinary 
logs on. Now what I want is to uprade Samba to a stable release like 3.0.7? but Im 
worried that there may be issues that I should be aware of. Im asking anyone who may 
provide with the specifics on how to go about the upgrade process and the things that 
should consider. Thanks in advance

RE: [Samba] Real-time file synchronisation

2004-09-30 Thread Thomas E. Keiser
The OpenAFS windows client has finally gotten stable in the past year.
My department here uses the AFS client on windows rather extensively.  I
experimented a while ago with software distribution of a large windows
application (Pro/Engineer) over AFS with pretty good results.  So, you get
the same local caching benefits that unix clients get for software
distribution.  Another major benefit is that cache invalidation only
happens when you release a new version to the read-only replicas.  Plus,
clients automatically load-balance across all fileservers containing the
read-only volume replicas they're looking for.

Regards,

Tom Keiser

 Hmm.I can appreciate that AFS is an excellent technology, but I'm a bit
 confused as to you suggesting it, given that we're dealing with Windows
 boxes on the client side. Could you point me to some info that gives an
 example of the solution you're recommending?


 Best regards,



 Chris

 I've read all answers, but you should do it by distribuited file systems.

 You should try AFS; it's easy to install and works well.

 Hi all!

 I'm looking for a method of doing the following, given that I'm taking care
 of a network with a Samba 3.0.6 box (running Mandrake 10.0) acting as a PDC
 for about 15 W2K boxes:

 . There is a share full of program files and data files on the Samba box
 . These files are currently synchronized at logon - all movement is from the
 server to the clients via a logon script using XCOPY /D

 I want to engineer a solution that would allow updates of the share to have
 changes propagated out to clients as the share is updated without the users
 being made aware. Essentially, the software vendor is demanding that
 everyone run their software from the network share as to ensure consistency,
 but I hardly think a 300 MB application with 15 MB (!!) executables (about 8
 of them) is really suitable for being deployed in that fashion.

 All comments appreciated!

 Best regards,

 Chris

+NTLMSSP Options
+\layout Standard
+
+Within the NTLMSSP context, a different set of session keys, cyphers and
+ authentication inputs are used - depending on the negotiated options.
+ The fact that these are negotiated is promlementic, but the implementation
+ may define minimum required options.
+ What follows is a discussion of some of the options - but a more complete

+LM Session Key
+\layout Standard
+
+The LM session key is created as specified by 
+\begin_inset LatexCommand \citet{opengroupntlm}
+
+\end_inset 
+
+ - it is based on the NTLM `LM Key', and includes part of the LM response
+ (and therefore the server-generated random challenge) in a DES based hash,
+ making it unique for each session.
+ It is negotiated by the specification of the 
+\family typewriter 
+NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_LM_KEY
+\family default 
+ in the negotiated options.
+\layout Standard
+
+This key is then 'weakened' to various strengths, to fix export requirements.
+ The irony is that the 128 bit negotiated key is far from this real strength,
+ due to there being at most 56 bits of key input!
+\layout Subsubsection*
+
+NT Sesssion Key (v1)
+\layout Standard
+
+When the LM_KEY option is not negotiated, and no other options are specified,
+ the session key is the NT Key from the NTLM level.
+ This is stronger in hash strength, with real 128 bit stength, but again,
+ the key is fixed until the user's password changes.
+ Unfortunetly other factors - the use the LM response function for the authentic
+ation step - means that the key can be discovered by breaking a 56 bit cypher.
+\layout Subsubsection*
+
+NTLM2 Session Response
+\layout Standard
+
+Another modification to the NTLMSSP login scheme, this option prevents a
+ server-initiated dictionary attack, by providing input from the client
+ and server in calculating the challenge input to the challenge-response
+ function.
+ This option also modifies the session key negotiation, to include mutually
+ agreed random data into the key.
+ This ensures that the session key again changes between sessions.

+Key Exchange
+\layout Standard
+
+In another modification to the session key negotiation, the specfication
+ of the 
+\family typewriter 
+NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_KEY_EXCHANGE
+\family default 
+ flag allows the client to specify a new session key, to be encrypted with
+ what otherwise would be the session key.
+ Presumably, the client would choose a random sequence of bytes, unrelated
