[Samba] compiling samba v3x with sysconfdir
Hello, I just compiled the latest samba src. with the sysconfdir option as seen below: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba/3.0.9 --sysconfdir=/etc/samba After installing it and configuring the smb.conf in /etc/samba I ran testparm. It failed, cause the smb.conf wasn't found: ... Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/3.0.9/lib/smb.conf params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/usr/local/samba/3.0.9/lib/smb.conf": No such file or directory Error loading services. ... I know, that if I specifiy the location of the smb.conf, it would run correctly (testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf). Also starting Samba will fail due to this error. After using the -s options samba will start... My Question: Is the sysconfdir deprecated? Or is there any other solution to set the smb.conf location? I don't want to work with links or hide my smb.conf somewhere deep inside...

[Samba] net user add
Hi, I'm using Samba 3.0 as a PDC on SuSE Linux 9.1. I want to add a samba user using the command "net user add ". But always when I use this command I receive the message that I have to specify the user. But according to the man page that is the way how to do it... Has anyone experiences with this command? Until a few days ago I used smbpasswd -a username password to create a user with password, but that's not working anymore (command smbpasswd is unknown). Someone told me that smbpasswd will be replaced by net command and he assumed that because of an automatic online update I have done the smbpasswd command is disabled/removed. Anyone knows if that's true? Is there a way to reactivate the smbpasswd command apart from reinstalling samba completly? Just in general: what is to prefer - smbpasswd or net? Thanks in advance!

[Samba] WinXP and Samba PDC Auth Problem
I have been running a Samba PDC with Samba version 3.0.0 on Redhat 7.3 for quite some time. My WinXP Pro SP2 system is part of the domain and everything has been working just peachy. And then, of course, I had to tinker with it. I upgraded the linux box to Whitebox Linux 3.0, a derivative of Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0. It comes with Samba 3.0.7. After installing and updating everything, I brought over the entire contects of my /etc/samba directory and loaded a previously saved LDIF file for my LDAP server (which samba authenticates to). No changes were made in any of these files and no changes were made on the WinXP box. If I do an "smbclient -L " it prompts me for a password, which is accepted, and a list of shares is presented. If I do the same thing using the WinXp's name, I get: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE If I attempt to log in with a domain account on the XP box, I get a dialog box that says: "Windows could not connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down, of otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found." I *AM* able to remove the XP machine from the domain and re-add it without incident. Or at least, I get the "Welcome to the PANDORANET Domain" message when adding it so I'm assuming the kali$ machine account is being properly found. I suspect that this has something to do with the schannel settings. Samba reports that all 4 settings are currently set to "Auto" which seems to be the ideal setting. The first thing I tried was the registry change for signorseal to 0, but that had no affect. Currently, under the Local Security settings, I have for what I believe are the pertinent settings: Domain member: Digitally encrypt or sign secure channel data (always): Enabled Domain member: Digitally encrypt secure channel data (when possible): Enabled Domain member: Digitally sign secure channel data (when possible): Enabled Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (always): Disabled Microsoft Network Client: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees): Enabled Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always): Disabled Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (if server agrees): Enabled Anyone have any ideas?

[Samba] Winbind running on Samba PDC for shell logins
Hello all- I setup a Samba 3.0.8 PDC w/ simple tdb backend and it's working great. The full RPC based printing w/ drivers installed on the samba server is sweet. I know down the line I may want the windows users to be able to possibly authenticate for other services like e-mail (via Pop or a webmail type service perhaps) or shell logins on the same PDC. I didn't want to have unix vs. windows passwords to worry about. I found several options (unix password sync w/ passwd program, several pam modules that might work), but I was most intrigued with the idea of running winbind along with pam_winbind.so configured on the PDC, but forcing it not to map UIDs or GIDs and simply only provide the authentication but against itself and not some remote windows or samba PDC. I scoured (spelling?) the howto, google, etc. and have never found anyone using winbind w/ security = USER and domain logons = yes, and having the PDC join it's own domain so winbind could do it's thing. So I did some testing. So I did this: winbind enum users = no winbind enum groups = no winbind use default domain = yes The use default domain is to guarantee unix users don't have a domain component in their name and I don't have any trusts or anything. Probably didn't need winbind enum [users|groups] because when winbind starts and there's no id ranges supplied, it keeps itself as only an auth proxy which is all I want anyway. Left "files" only in nsswitch.conf (winbind won't map or provide uid/gid mappings, enforced even more by not having nsswitch bother w/ winbind). Joined my PDC box to his own domain w/ net rpc join -U root (kinda funny seeing a machine account in /etc/passwd for itself) Setup /etc/pam.d/common-auth, session, acct w/ lines similar to authsufficient pam_winbind.so authrequiredpam_unix.so Fired up winbind and voila, my windows users w/ disabled passwords in /etc/passwd can login to the PDC via their windows password stored in the tdb backend. As they change their password on windows, only one actual password changes as a result. Seems nice and clean. So my question is are there any disadvantages to running this way? i.e. would I be better off not bothering w/ winbind and instead use unix password sync ?? Or is there something I haven't thought of that is better? I personally like winbind better than anything else I found because it just seems to make more sense to me to have one password actually stored since linux auth via winbind works so well. I've just never used winbind except as a means to better integrate a linux box w/ a windows PDC (both active dir (ads) and flat NT domains (rpc)). Can any of you that understand samba's internals really well think of any "gotchas" I could avoid by use something else? I didn't test out unix password sync, but I'm confident it will solve my problem equally as well.

[Samba] XP NTBackup Inconsistency - du under-reports vs file size
(Sys config info at bottom) Use XP ntbackup.exe output to Samba share for several years and never had a problem. Backup size would range between 10 and 15 GB. Would always perform a verify after the backup. A few months ago the process started failing at the verify stage. The backup appeared to complete successfully, but as soon as the verify process started a message "Error: An inconsistency was encountered in the requested backup file." would be received. Checked the backup file and noticed something strange. The file size listed would be as expected 10+ GB, but the du command output stated 4KB. The process has been repeated numerous times (very difficult with a 2+ hour cycle time). I have even performed a du on the file while it is being backed up and it grows fine, until a some arbitrary point it drops way down, goes up and down a bit, but is always grossly under what it should be. I apologize for not even knowing how to get the appropriate version/release information. Below is what I do know: Client OS: XP SP2 (note: I think I have not had a clean backup since applying SP2, thus this could be a source to the problem) Server Info: Redhat Linux output from "uname -a" "Linux linux 2.4.7-10 #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 i686 unknown" Samba man page version heading states version 2.2 - I have not done any reinstall so that is probably correct. feel free to request additional information (if it involves Linux system info, please provide instructions - much thanks). -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] SAMBA / LDAP / Domain Password change problem - Repost, actually making some progress
I'm making some progress. We can now attach to the domain & authenticate to the domain. I believe the big problem was my failure to configure the wins server aspect of DHCP. I'm still having the problem where we cannot add users, or change passwords from workstations, for example: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.TOPC>net user testf 12341234 /add /domain The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain TOPC. System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.TOPC> The same thing happens if you press & try changing your own password. Is this a bug with Samba version 3.0.9-1.fc3 ? If so, I'll quit beating my head against the wall.

I see a changelog entry for shadow-utils in rawhide saying - re-allow "$" as last char for the sake of samba (#132782) The bug number appears to be wrong, but it's probably worth trying shadow-utils-4.0.3-42 to see if the problem is actually fixed. First, I have to say I'm a nebiw linux-user. I installed fc3 this weekend and updated all packages from rhn. As shadow-utils wasn't updated I was trying to find a temparary solution and found out the following, assuming the group machines: # useradd -g machines -d /dev/null -s /bin/false winmachine # passwd -l winmachine Notice the lack of the string. Now here comes the tricky part. Make backup copy's of the files "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/shadow" first. Manually edit the "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/shadow" and change the machine name to include a string. In my case my winxp-machine was called hemel3, so I changed the name in both files to hemel3$. Then add the user to samba: # smbpasswd -a -m machine_name This works for now.
