You mentioned that "Since the object of using Samba is partly to access a Windows 98 machine,.." What exactly do you mean by "access"? Do you need to connect to the Win98 box to copy/move files between Linux and Win98? Then, can't you use smbclient instead?

[Samba] Newbie Question - can users create directory on thier own from Win Client ???
First some background - We got an old, tired PII, 233 server running NT 4.0 We have a Compaq Proliant that is a quad 550 Xeon CPU, 4 GB, 320 GB of HD, a tape drive etc. It formerly was an Oracle Server that had SCO UnixWare 7 on it. Currently it is having a problem - bad controller card, but we intend to get it fixed. (Not sure if UnixWare comes with Samba or what version to use, but we also can get out hands on Red Hat Enterprise Linux) The Idea is to put some sort of Unix / Linux on it and Samba, and replace the NT 4.0 machine. Although we have some work ahead of us, I was wondering, if you set up a shared directory on a machine, can user create a directory in it on their own from a client Windows machine If it is not easy for the users to work with, they will not like it. ... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

There are existing bugs known to Steve French, whether filed or not, without a fix to which people needing access to legacy LM servers have no solution other than smbfs.

Sorry if this sounds rude, since I know you're trying to help, but this is woolly thinking at its worst. What precisely other? The files are on a W98 system for historical reasons and they are being slowly migrated off. However, the reason I can't just move them is because I'm using Windows programs on the legacy systems. Some I wrote myself, in Visual Basic, so I can't blame anybody else for the situation. Another program I use is Photoshop, which they won't port to Linux (despite the fact it is the program most wanted to be ported to Linux). Etc. I need to keep running Windows as long as I have the need for such stuff. The only practical "something other than W98" that I could possibly use is to buy a new PC installed with Windows Vista, and I'm buggered if I'm spending money going down that route. The reason for migrating to Linux in the first place was to get myself away from Microsoft. The more sensible backup plan, of course, is to use my SuSE 10.0 machine to link to the W98 machine, and pass files down the chain to my 10.2 PC. A pain in the arse, but a darn sight cheaper than shelling out money to Microsoft (and Dell, or whoever) and a lot easier than shuffling Flashdrives back and forth.

Re: [Samba] smbmount
No offense, but it sounds like you are venting about something that wasn't enabled for the packages in your particular distro of choice. If so, it seems to me that this is the wrong venue to vent. I would suggest contacting the vendor, distro maintainer and/or package maintainer with your concerns. Or continue to roll your own packages for whichever distro you choose. If you feel inspired, write a howto for it (if one doesn't already exist) so that people don't reinvent the wheel. Also it would help in case you forget something and don't have to resolve old problems.

[Samba] Problem with RID to unix account mapping in ADS mode
Hello, I'm working with the samba-3.0.23c version currently released for use with RHEL-5. I'm trying to switch into ADS security from DOMAIN security and I'm having trouble with account mapping. Currently the mapping happens because the unix account name matches the windows account name. That no longer seems to be an option when you switch to ADS mode (please correct me if I'm wrong). I should also mention that there are several servers involved and I'm syncing the unix UIDs so as to play well with NFS too. >From what I've read, the preferred method of accomplishing this under ADS mode seems to be to hang the unix UID for the account in the LDAP database part of ADS. However, none of the documents I've read have covered how to actually do that part. They've all been about getting samba to lookup the Idmap value and use it assuming that you've already done that part somehow. Is there a HOWTO available which covers that part of the process? I would really like to handle that part using unix tools as it would be significantly more convenient than doing something from the windows end. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

On the other hand, I would love to be able to use cifs exclusively, but I have several network drives ( WD and TrendNet ), and neither brand will mount via cifs with a credentials file.

[Samba] Two PDC in one Network (NT4 + Samba 3)
I have installed a Samba 3 server to run as PDC in parallel with the old NT4 server. They both use different Domain names and netbios names. the NT server uses NT-SERVER as netbios name and INTERFACE as workgroup. The new Samba server uses IFDOMAIN both as workgroup and netbios name. When I try a smbclient -L //IFDOMAIN/ it's not working read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by peer. protocol negotiation failed when I turn the NT server off and try it again, then it works. I don't quite understand why since they shouldn't have any problems because of the differing names but unfortunately it seems that it does bother somehow.

No personal offense intended here, but ... This entire smbfs vs. cifs ongoing discussion is not helpful. And frankly, it is just a little silly. Old code goes away and is replaced by new code. Are you willing to maintain the smbfs code? No? Neither was anyone else. So it's not kernel developers that are the problem. But simply disinterest or lack of time from the community of people using and/or developing kernel code. And btw...If Novell had wanted to maintain smbfs.kko, they could have. But no linux vendor or developer volunteered to take it up (at least none that actually followed through). It's easy to pitch rocks at the people doing the work.

Re: [Samba] 3.0.24 and disappearing ACL entries
I figured it out in general over the weekend. I didn't have all the right smb.conf entries. Somehow they were removed. I think SWAT did it. I won't be using it anymore as a result. I'm sure there's good logic behind it removing smb.conf entries, but I'm not going to try to parse them out. I'll use vi and avoid it assuming it knows something I don't. These are the settings I had to add back in to fix it: [global] kernel oplocks = yes client use spnego = yes server signing = auto disable netbios = no netbios name = announce as = NT Server announce version = 4.9 browse list = yes force create mode = 0760 nt acl support = yes client signing = auto I'm not sure which combination of these is the magic bullet. Some of these settings may be superfluous and/or unnecessary. I just noticed they were missing and added them back in and suddenly -- voila! On my list of things to do is test and see which ones are the culprit. Here's how it works-- Before user1 modification: owner: user2:rwx group: somedomaingroup:rwx faclgroup: domain users:rwx After user1 modification: owner: user1:rwx group: domain users:rwx faclgroup: somedomaingroup:rwx After user2 modifies it after user1: owner: user2:rwx group: somedomaingroup:rwx faclgroup: domain users:rwx The key (I believe) is that somedomaingroup is user2's primary group. It seems that Samba is swapping out group ownership between the POSIX ACL and the file system ACL and changing owners. Kind of strange, but if it works, I'm not overly concerned. But this is where the wheels were coming off as best I can tell. The swap wasn't completely working and the POSIX ACLs weren't being updated with the old group information. They were simply being removed. Anyone else out there got any input?

In any case, this is a bout the world I live in, not about their or my preferences. As far as I understand it, Windows 98 doesn't use CIFS. Since the object of using Samba is partly to access a Windows 98 machine, not having SMBFS available sort of defeats the object of using Samba in the first place. Maybe they want us to go back to using floppy disks as substitutes for a network. If there is a way to network files to and from a Windows 98 machine via CIFS, by the way, please let me know, since this would solve my problem. > but if you can't get > cifs to work right, you can recompile the kernel to enable smbfs.

Samba client informs me (in YaST) that it installs smbmount, but no such luck when I try it out. smbmount is just not found. When I look in /sbin there is no mount.smbfs, only mount.cifs. That would seem to be the main problem. So how do I get this installed if not by installing samba-client? -- All the best, John -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[SAMBA] Weird Problem with file permissions and samba
Hello Folks, I have a samba server that i use as a file sharing system. I change the old machine for a new Ahtlon X2. Everything was perfect but when i did the installation and attribution ; i have the same problem! The client (WINXP) keeps telling me that he cannot access to my sharing folder due to permissions on the folder. I did a 770 on the folder and the did a chgroup on it. But i still don't know what's happening. I thought at first that it was the password but i can login to the personal folder on the server (the /home folder); but i cannot write on it. If you can take a look on this i will be really appreciated !

[Samba] Smbcacls syntax questions (Samba-3.0.25rc2)
Hello list, I'm testing out smbcacls to handle acls on a linux samba server with ext3 filesystem(acls enabled). 1. How can I change the rights mask with smbcacls? I.e mask:r-- ? 2. How can I change the permissions for an ACL to none? /usr/local/samba/bin/smbcacls //192.168.100.1/testshare janalb- owner -U backupuser%backupuser1 -M 'ACL:SF\backupuser:ALLOWED/0/' ACE 'SF\backupuser:ALLOWED/0/': missing / at '0' I ask this because I need to be able to reset the permissions to a specific state if something goes wrong. The original permissions are shown as followed with getfacl janalb-owner # file: janalb-owner # owner: janalb # group: sf user::rwx user:backupuser:rwx #effective:--- group::r-- #effective:--- mask::--- other::--- Smbcacls returns the following when run against the same file. REVISION:1 OWNER:SF\janalb GROUP:SF\sf ACL:SF\janalb:ALLOWED/0/FULL ACL:SF\backupuser:ALLOWED/0/ ACL:SF\sf:ALLOWED/0/ ACL:\Everyone:ALLOWED/0/ As you can see backupuser, group sf and group everyone doesn't have any effective permissions due to the mask. Is it possible using smbcacls to create the acls shown above on a newly created file? So far I'm having troubles with the mask permission.
