[Samba] Samba performance tuning

2007-10-08 Thread Daniel L. Miller

Hi all!

I've seen a number of posts regarding Samba performance - either 
comments about perceived poor performance, or recommended parameter 
changes.  Instead of some arbitrary buffer numbers, or "play with it 
until it works", are there any analysis tools that can give quantitative 
answers ?  Something where instead of just saying, "Samba is too slow", 
I could say, "on a quad-opteron system, with 4G RAM, and full-duplex 
100BaseT network, SambaMark reports a score of 237.".


Maybe that's too much of a dream - is there a particular file 
size/copy/read technique and associated analysis that I should try?

This is not possible, in part due to concerns over the chicken-and-egg
problem of setting up Samba to use smbpasswd while authenticating
against smbpasswd, and mostly because that codepath hasn't been altered
since 2001, when we didn't have 'encrypt passwords = yes' as a default. 

PAM and pam_smbpass would be one way around it, on Linux systems.

I guess you are describing a situation where you have a lot of process
hanging where the smbd is basically stuck.

How many smbd process do you have a around when this happen?
(ps xa |grep smbd|wc -l)

How many clients?

On what OS are you running this?
Is /usr/local/samba a local file system (ext2/3?)?

And most importantly can you reproduce this at will ?

Simo.

the winbindd.log you posted contains winbind startup messages?
if not try to restart winbind and check winbind log for errors .
/etc/nsswitch.conf contains winbind related strings?

RE: [Samba] Can't chown a file to an ADS username

2007-10-08 Thread Eric Diven
Okay, I've just tried this on my working solaris setup, and I definitely
get stuff in the log file when I run getent passwd.  Is there an
nsswitch log that would tell me if nsswitch is even trying to call the
winbind libraries?

I'm not actually getting much from it.  I'm assuming that all of
winbinds logging goes to [logpath]/winbindd.log.

If that's the case, I'm seeing nsswitch related stuff happening when
winbind starts up, but not when I run getent passwd.

This is the result of clearing the log, restarting samba, and running
getent passwd.  Nothing gets added to the log when I run it.  It's greek
to me what the stuff from winbind start up means, but I'm a little
suspicious that nothing shows up on getent passwd.

[Samba] Mysterious Messages in Log File

2007-10-08 Thread Matthias Balke

Hi everybody,

I have some Problems with my Samba Server.

My Log is full of these messages:

Oct  8 19:01:12  smbd[6170]:   getpeername failed. Error  
was Der Socket ist nicht verbunden
Oct  8 19:01:12  smbd[27824]:   getpeername failed.  
Error was Der Socket ist nicht verbunden

failure in writing to client 0.0.0.0. Error Die Verbindung wurde vom

Does anyone know this message and can explain me why this is logged  
twice a minute?


The messages are:

Der Socket ist nicht verbunden >> The socket is not connected
Die Verbindung wurde vom Kommunikationspartner zur??ckgesetzt >> The  
connection was reset by peer


I searched on google, but didn't got a hint what it could be...

I hope you can help me!

Matthias

To add to this, the user MUST exist as a Linux user. What the other
poster suggests is happening is that the other box is adding a Linux
user transparently.

Actually no changes to the windows box.
They seem to behaving well now.
Most of my tests were done with smbclient from a linux box anyways.

Yes, I wanted to say myself: I have not necessarily had this problem (I
really haven't checked since we have local SMB servers), but the path to
solving it has been fascinating, and is helpful for not just SMB
troubleshooting.

Great. For hysterical porpoises please document what specific changes
you made on the windows boxes and what specific changes you made on
your router.

So as it turns out, apparently it was a window scaling issue.
Turning on an excessively large window size on the routers (thereby
enabling dynamic TCP window scaling) seems to have fixed the issue. I
now get transfer rates around 130-160k/s.

[Samba] Migrate Files and Shares

2007-10-08 Thread Vijay S
I have read about the net commands and the possible use of robocopy for
migrating shares and files (with ACL preservation) from Windows to Samba.

I have also read about many users who have posted various errors with both
methods (error 5, access_denied, etc).  However, I have been unable to find
any reponse/solutions to the same.

I'd like to know if there is a solution to such problems and if there is any
further documentation on how to achieve such a migration.

Thank you

Another point of information:

Samba (and only Samba, other protocols work fine) seems to drop a lot
of packets.
Looking at simultaneous tcpdump traces from both the server and client
side, I see that lots of packets are dropped that are going from the
samba server to the client.
The sequence numbers look like this in some cases:

Client RecvServer Send
1150  1150
1152  1152
 1154
 1156
 1158
 1160
 1162
1164  1164
1166  1166
1168  1168
1170  1170

So in that case, a whole 5 packets were missed.
I'm going to assume this isn't normal behavior, and other protocols
(scp / ftp) don't seem to suffer from this problem.

Yep;  you need to complete the configuration of the FC7 box.  You need
to connect NSS on the FC7 box to your domain/DSA.  getpwnam is a call to
NSS.

This is all documented in the Samba docs & "man nsswitch.conf"

I've put up more logs this morning sans VPN.
They are in:
http://emagiccards.com/james/tcpdump-novpn-logs.tar.bz2

Both of these logs are from being directly plugged in on either side of the WAN.
The 'nowan' log is the normal, fast transfer, whereas the 'wan' log is
over the WAN and has the unusable throughput.

Your configuration on the FC7 box is incomplete,  you need an add user
script to setup the user in NSS after which Samba will find the user and
add the Samba attributes.  All documented in the Samba docs.

Re: [Samba] smbd process per user ( Samba 3 + Terminal server )

2007-10-08 Thread Eric Roseme
Depends upon your terminal server.  NT4 and W2000 - yes.  W2003 - no 
(unless they added the EnableMultipleUsers parameter from W2000).  I 
wrote a kind of wordy paper about this: 
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5015/Samba-TerminalServer_104Final.pdf.  This 
paper version does not include the W2000 fix, which is the above 
parameter and hotfix Q818528.  I have not looked to see if Microsoft 
ever fixed this on W2003.  I can send you the whitepaper with the W2000 
fix incorporated, if you want it (i never posted the updated version).

The subject says Samba + LDAP. I use smbldap-passwd to add users to LDAP.

[Samba] Samba v3.0.26a

Hi,

I got samba 3.0.26a on my Fedora 7, and when i try to add users with
smbpasswd -a username, it only works if the user exists as a linux
user... i got a Centos 4.4 system with samba 3.0.10 and it  works even
if the user doesn't exists on the system.

Can anyone explain me why this happens? is it from this new version
(3.0.26a) or may be a problem of 
Fedora 7?

[Samba] ACL inherit and windows folder security settings

2007-10-08 Thread E.V. Suprun

We have the following share:

[users]
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = yes
inherit permissions = yes
inherit owner = yes

the /home permissions are:
drwxr-xr-x  ... root root ... /home

There are /home/user1, /home/user2, ... folders.  When they are created
their permissions are set like this:

drwx--Sr-x  ... user1 "Domain Users" ... /home/user1

The server is a SuSE 9.3 Samba/LDAP PDC working fine. Granting no
access to "Domain Users" to /home/user1 makes impossible to user2, user3
... to go into the home folder of user1. The setgid flag makes all files
and folders inside /home/user1 belong to the same group "Domain Users.
The users may have /home//public_html folder, so we need access to
other (non-Domain-Users) users, e.g. wwwrun running the apache server.

User1 may grant access to e.g. user3, by changing \\SERVER\USERS\user1
folder security properties on a Windows workstation. We work now with
Samba 3.0.23d, and the only caveat is that Everyone (other) get "No
access" along with Read access, but this is fixed simply by granting
read access to Everyone (other) explicitely. Then the user1 may
propagate the  \\SERVER\USERS\user1 security settings into his home
folder. In the same way the User1 may revoke access from user3 to e.g.
\\SERVER\USERS\user1\public_html or to his other folder.

That works in Samba 3.0.23d, but doesn't function in the current
version (3.0.26a), and in some previous versions I tried earlier. I
tried various config settings concerning acls but with no success. In
other words, I failed to find out a way to stop the inheritance of ACLs
at the level of a folder in the current Samba version. The only way is
setfacl -x ..., setfacl -b ... from a linux shell, which is surely not
convenient for a Windows user.

Another bad thing is when propagating the security settings of a
\\SERVER\USERS\user1folder, e.g. with the settings like this: user1 -
full access, user3 - read, domain users - no access, everyone (other) -
read. After the propagation all files & folders have "domain users -
read access" (?!). I'm still working with Samba 3.0.23d which doesn't
have that bevaviour. Well, the current Samba version propagates also the
rights of the root user and root group to the \\SERVER\USERS\user1
folder from /home, but that can be tolerated.

I believe the configuration like mine may be popular. If anyone has a
share used in a similar way, and his users work fine with
granting/revoking/propagating permissions in the current Samba version
from Windows workstations, an advice would be greately appreciated.

[Samba] uploading from osx incredible slow

2007-10-08 Thread Steffen Rohe

Hi together,

we have a network of windows and osx computers, which all using a  
debian linux server as dataslave in a 100 MBit network.

Samba 3.024 is running on the debian box.

Now transfering files from the debian box to the osx clients is  
working at full speed of the network.
But transfering files from the osx clients to the debian box is  
incredible slow.

Does anybody now a typical problem of osx clients with transfering

Re: [Samba] security = domain -- samba adds its netbios name as samba domain to LDAP

2007-10-08 Thread Christian Brandes

Ok. I think I understood something wrong. I thought the
logfile was from a member server, not from a BDC. If a BDC
creates its own name as a sambaDomain object in LDAP, then
there's a misconfiguration or a bug. A BDC does not have a
local SAM, only member servers do.


In my case you were completely right. The configuration and logfile I 
posted are from a member server.
But this member server is a separate samba "share instance" running 
additionaly on a machine that runs a "BDC instance" of samba, too.


I found out, that it is necessary to join a member server to the BDC (or 
PDC) Domain.

This is not done by smb.conf, but by this command:

net rpc join MEMBER -U  -n 
 -s 


Done so, a machine account for the member server is ceated and access on 
the member server's shares is granted to users of the BDC domain.


The next problem is:

Having more than one such "share instances" on one machine, I would have 
to join the machine with different Netbios Names to the BDC domain. 
Which does not seem to work.


net rpc join MEMBER -U  -n NetbiosName1 -s SMB.conf1
net rpc join MEMBER -U  -n NetbiosName2 -s SMB.conf2

net rpc testjoin MEMBER -U  -n NetbiosName2 -s SMB.conf2
--> Join to 'MyCompany' is OK

net rpc join MEMBER -U  -n NetbiosName1 -s SMB.conf1
--> [2007/10/05 17:38:43, 0] utils/net_rpc_join.c:net_rpc_join_ok(70)
--> net_rpc_join_ok: failed to get schannel session key from server 
VSERVER for domain MyCompany.

--> Error was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
--> Join to domain 'MyCompany' is not valid

It looks like both Netbios Names are registered in the same place and I 
do not know where.


So either I find out how to join with two different Netbios Names or I 
have to make the share instances BDCs, too.


Best regards
Christian

[Samba] create users on MS AD domain server

2007-10-08 Thread Vincent MALIEN
 Hello,

I use samba with winbind and I want to create users on a Microsoft Active 
Directory domain server.
I used the command:
net user ADD  -U administrator%password -C 
The user is created, but disable.
I'd like to enable it, and to add a start session script attached to this user.
The man page and the command 'net help user' talk about [-F user flags] and 
[misc. options],
but don't explain how to do.
Thanks for help.
