You do realize how vague "no longer working" is, right?

[Samba] CIFS Duplicating the Mount Point

2007-12-20 Thread Dan N .
My file server (Debian stable; SMB 3.0.24) has several CIFS shares, one of which
is named "music".

My desktop client (Ubuntu gutsy, SMB 3.0.26a) can mount the "music" share as
either CIFS of SMBFS, but when mounted using CIFS, something very weird happens
- data in the root of the share appears in 2nd-level folders in the share when
the name is the same (using a case insensitive comparison).  When mounted Under
SMBFS, it works as expected.

For instance, I have the following directory structure:

music
 |- 311
|- Music
   |- songs, etc.
|- other albums, etc.
 |- other bands, etc.

When the music share is mounted using CIFS, it appears as:

music
 |- 311
|- Music
   |- 311
  |- Music
 |- songs, etc.
 |- other bands, etc.

After a quick test, the problem seems to be with the subfolder with the same
name as the share (case insensitive comparison).  Even stranger, this issue only
appears with folders named "music" on the 2nd level: "music/music" and
"music/test1/test2/Music" both work as expected.

Do I have something misconfigured, a known issue, or a bug (or something else
entirely)?  Windows machines can use the share properly.  I can post my server's
configuration files if someone is interested.

Thanks,
Dan

Re: [Samba] difficulty setting up Samba PDC.. please help... out of ideas

2007-12-20 Thread J
The answer, to my biggest problem, was that the user needed the same 
smbpasswd on both Samba servers. (d'oh!)
The PDC would handle the authentication, and then attempt to access 
shares on the file server, but since the smbpasswd was different on the 
file server, access would not be granted...


I still have strange behaviors to figure out (like why I'm not getting 
consistent results from different machines), but the hurdle that took me 
two weeks to figure out is conquered...

If authentication is succeeding, why am I getting the message that the

I am trying to test a Samba PDC on our network that currently shares

states that this can be done, with no issues (so long as the

for the shares is on //receptionist.  ( The temporary home for the 
Samba PDC is on //haze. )  Once the PDC has been set up successfully 
and tested, //receptionist will be switched to work as the PDC, and 
not a file share.  The Windows client I'm testing on is a virtual 
machine, "virtualx-ray", on the network.


Please, does anyone have any ideas??:

I have successfully joined the domain, and I can log into the domain 
with the first user I set up on //haze. (jae)  jae is able to log in, 
successfully loads the custom profile (changing the network 
neighborhood to use a customized list of network resources), but does 
not currently update the profile.  (one thing at a time)  bryan, on 
the other hand, gets the following messages (and does not log in):


Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is 
attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the 
profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Possible 
causes of this error include network problems or insufficient 
security rights. If this problem persists, contact your network 
administrator. 
DETAIL - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
bryan is a valid user name (see the passwd file settings below) , and 
I'm using the correct password.  I have restarted both Samba servers 
every time I made a change in the smb.conf files.  There is nothing 
in the logs (on //haze) that another user is trying to log on, other 
than jae.
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. 
Check that you are connected to the network, or that your network is 
functioning correctly. If this problem persists, contact your 
network administrator.



DETAIL - The system cannot find the path specified.
bryan does NOT exist as a local account on the Windows client.  "Jae" 
did exist, at one time on the Windows client. ( The login name was 
later changed  to "jnorm".  Logging in as "Jae" with the valid 
password on the local client does not work, as it shouldn't. )



I have tinkered with the settings for weeks now, so they are more 
"open" than they started out.

Here are the (appropriate) settings:

ah -- that's a switch similar to the registry settings I've been using, 
then?:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\netlogon\parameters
"RequireSignOrSeal"=dword:

Registry setting is giving me inconsistent results (when applied, 
obviously) -- I'll try the acl profiles switch.


Thanks.

Are they set up by default, with these versions of Samba?



The problem is XP tries to verify that the user of the profile is the
same as the user who has full permissions on the profile. This switch
(or a registry setting) will fix that problem (if this is indeed the
problem you have). Previous versions of samba and previous XP security
packs did not have need this and it may not happen for all users. I
saw this problem about 6 months ago when I upgraded to samba-3.0.23.

Re: [Samba] Problem with ACL and Samba

2007-12-20 Thread Felipe Tocchetto
Hey Robert

Thanks for your mail, here is what a did:

1. Set the ACLs to all dirs and files in the ADM dir:

find adm/ -type f -exec setfacl -m g:administ:rwx {} \;
find adm/ -type f -exec setfacl -m g:administ:rwx {} \;

3. Setting the default ACLs to the ADM dir:

setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::rwx,o::--- adm/
setfacl -d -m g:administ:rwx adm/

4. Setting the default ACLs to all subdirs on ADM

find adm/ -type d -exec setfacl -d -m u::rwx,g::rwx,o::--- {} \;
find adm/ -type d -exec setfacl -d -m g:administ:rwx {} \;

5. In the Samba server I did this conf:

valid users =  suporte,administ
write list =  suporte,administ
read only = No
  * force security mode = 0770
force create mode = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
inherit permissions = Yes
The more important flag, that solve the problem is force security mode =
0770.

Thanks a lot for all replyes!

Felipe

[Samba] samba 3.0.28 and dropboxes

2007-12-20 Thread CJ Keist

All,
   I searched archives and found one related to our problem, with 
subject "samba 3.0.26a and dropboxes", but there was no solution. So 
posting this again for hopes of a fix.


   We have dropboxes where users can drop files in someone else's 
dropbox folder.  You have write permissions but not read for the folder. 
In UNIX the dropbox permision is set as 2733.  This all worked fine with 
Samba 3.0.6a.  But now have upgraded to Samba 3.0.28 and

they are no longer working.

My settings for the share is:

[ens]
comment = ENS Groups
path = /top/admin/ENS
valid users = +admin
force group = admin
read only = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 02770
inherit permissions = Yes
inherit acls = Yes
inherit owner = Yes
dos filemode = Yes

This is on Solaris 9 UFS filesystem with quotas enabled.

Thanks...

Re: [Samba] ntconfig.pol not even being loaded

Yep.
As it turns out, it does load for some users now. It wasn't before, but 
a few of the newer users have started getting things applied.
I'm planning to do a new policy file from scratch and see what happens. 
I have a feeling it's just a messed up policy file.

Windows is not even trying to load it. I watched the traffic in

of course nothing from it is being applied.
I had read that this can happen if someone has set the policy refresh
settings to never refresh (or manually or whatever it is), but I have
checked this and tried with a newly installed Windows machine, and it
still doesn't work.

Is there some special setting I am missing? What is the bare minimum for
ntconfig.pol to apply? What should the netlogon share definition look 
like?


Global config options that seem relevent are:

Hi Michael,

Yeah, if someone is writing to a file in a Samba share, and another user
opens it up, they'll be notified that the file is currently in use, and that
it's available for read only.

This happens all of the time where I work (unfortunately).  Depending on
what kind of information is stored in your file, you may want to look into
storing your data in a database.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [Samba] Unanswered question

How long does one have to typically wait for an answer to a post?
  Tomorrow my message will have been up a week, and I've gotten no replies.
  It was about whether a file, while it was being written to, could
subsequently be opened by another client for reading.  I used a DVR with
chasing play as an example.  Didn't seem like that difficult of a question,
but maybe it isn't geeky enough for some.  (Or perhaps the answer is "No"
and people are too embarrassed to admit Samba can't do it.)

Try adding

to your smb.conf

Incidentally, this is being written (at log level 2), when I attempt to 
log bryan in:


[2007/12/20 15:52:16, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(309)
 check_ntlm_password:  authentication for user [bryan] -> [bryan] -> 
[bryan] succeeded


If authentication is succeeding, why am I getting the message that the 
user doesn't exist in Windows?

[Samba] Complicated upgrade problem

2007-12-20 Thread Sam Bayne
I appologize for the length of this email in advance. I hope someone can 
help us upgrade our aging samba network environment.


=== The Environment =

We have an ldap-based samba security=domain environment.

We have two sets of users/computers administrative and instructional.
There are about 1500 admin users on 958 computers in the admin domain, 
and 11000 users on 821 computers on the instruct domain.


Not all the users in these domains are active. (We keep student accounts 
disabled but not deleted for up to a year after they leave in case they 
come back.)


We're using openldap as the back end store for both domains. We started 
this before we understood domain trust, so we made some odd decisions 
for our ldap.


ldap schematic:

top-level domain
 +-instruct domain
   +-users
   +-groups
   +-computers
   +-admin domain
 +-users
 +-groups
 +-computers

That's right, the admin domain is a child of the instruct domain.

The instruct domain controller/logon server has it's ldapsam set to look 
at the instruct domain, and by virtue of parenthood, it can "see" the 
admin accounts. The admin domain controller/logon server can only "see" 
the lower half of the tree.


The result is that students can login on student lab computers, but not 
on administrative office computers, while instructors can log into their 
 office computers as well as the labs.


The ldap entries for each account specify where to find profiles and 
home directories, so roaming profiles work and everyone can see their 
home directory as I: and so forth.


We even do policies by pushing down .pol files in the login scripts.

Samba is 3.014
openldap is 2.0.27
Servers are FC4
Clients are a mix of XP/Win2k(Vista upcoming)

=== Our Issue =
We would like to upgrade to more recent versions of samba. And LDAP.
Currently there is a single ldap server, because we had replication 
issues. So we just back up the ldap data more often. And use nscd to cut 
down on queries.  I'd like to take advantage of newer OS's for things 
like iscsi, and larger file systems. We'd also like to get samba support 
for aging passwords.


Anyway, when we try, we run into some issues. It turns out that our two 
domains have the same domain sid. This apparently disturbs Samba 3.020+.

So I think that our odd ldap structure won't work going forward.

What I need is some guidance on:

1. What should our new ldap schematic be?
2. How do I migrate there one domain at a time (if possible)?

I agree with you that this problem is not kerberos specific. My
suspicion is that, as was suggested in another reply, there is a
problem with one of the function definitions. I am currently
looking at the vasprintf() function provided with Samba in the
replace library and also by Heimdal in the roken library. I will
follow-up to the list with my results.

Re: [Samba] ntconfig.pol not even being loaded

2007-12-20 Thread Adam Williams

did you name it NTConfig.POL and put it in /samba/netlogon

and only 2000-Vista clients will load that.  for win 95/98 clients I 
think it needs to be called Config.POL.


Tim Bates wrote:

At one site I support, I have just recently put a policy file on their
server to try and make some stuff easier to manage. Only problem is
Windows is not even trying to load it. I watched the traffic in
Wireshark, and there's no request for the ntconfig.pol file at all. And
of course nothing from it is being applied.
I had read that this can happen if someone has set the policy refresh
settings to never refresh (or manually or whatever it is), but I have
checked this and tried with a newly installed Windows machine, and it
still doesn't work.

Is there some special setting I am missing? What is the bare minimum for
ntconfig.pol to apply? What should the netlogon share definition look 
like?


Global config options that seem relevent are:
[global]
  workgroup = CRDC
  domain master = yes
  prefered master = yes
  domain logons = yes
  logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
  logon script = logon.bat

  passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
  pam password change = yes
  socket options = TCP_NODELAY


The share definition looks like this:

HI there guys, I,m having the same problem like this guys in the link
bellow, but noone aswered it.

http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-August/124015.html

Do no know what really happened in my configuration, the day after I was
able to add machines to the domain and the like,
yesterday I could not, and I'm having the same problem, the smbclient -L
localhost shows only my machine, is this related to samba
or can I thinks that this is something external to samba?, the firewall is
down, policy accept by default, I'm using samba with
ldap as a backend

The machine is debian etch with samba 3.0.24,  when I try to add a user to
the domain it comlain ( win machine ) that the user doesn exist
or wrong password, genten passwd and groiup show susers and machines.

Any clue what can I check?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on your settings;  usually Samba will set both passwords or use
exop which should set both passwords.

Note - I haven't bothered to look at the Wikis you mentioned.  If you
want to setup Samba you should do so using the Samba documentation.

In general, yes, but it depends on your settings.

Have no idea about your migration script but yes; we can su 
in our Samba-PDC/LDAP environment.
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/

Use the official documentation,  except no substitutes, and don't use
Wikis.  There is really nothing distro-specific about setting up Samba
and/or LDAP.

You use smbpasswd or generate the required data with a script.

This is a setting in your user add scripts (I'd assume).

Hello Michael,

With open source projects, people involved are volunteering their time
and skills.
As such, people asking for help shouldn't really _demand_  for answers
(of course, if you want to demand anything, there are plenty of
companies giving Samba support - not free, I'm afraid).

Please handle it gently :). If Samba can't do it, you'll be told
upfront (no one will be embarassed).

Cheers,
Ari Constancio

There is not a deterministic time ta get a reply: assume two hypothesis,
H0: there is an answer and someone know what is, whether is positive 
or negative.
H1: there is an answer, many people know that there is but is not able 
to give it.
on H1 the reply should _not_ come: the only answer that could come is 
"i know it is possible but i do not know how" ... and this does not help a 
lot.
on H0 the time is indefinite too: if the reply is not "easy" (or is even 
really easy, but only few people knopw, think of an obscure setting 
used only once every five years) you have to wait that your question is 
noticed by someone that know what is and have the time to reply it !
Once i got an answer on a program 18 months after i posted the 
question on the list (the reply was correct and useful, but in the 
meantime i had decided to use another application).

[Samba] Giving access only to a particular share from an IP (hosts allow)?

2007-12-20 Thread Jari Aalto
[Please keep CC]

There are options like these:

[global]
hosts allow = \
127.0.0.0/8   \
192.168.1.0/29

hosts deny  = ALL

If I put the IP to the global section (hosts allow), that IP would be
allowed to access all shares.

I'd like an outside (internet) IP to be allowed to access only a certain
share and not others. Is this kind of finer control possible?
