As already answered by other people, you can use expect, I use it to set 
initial passwords, feeding smbldap-passwd in automated installs, it 
works and is the only solution that I know about too.



Also, I read about mksmbpasswd.sh and test it but it did not work at all.
My smb.conf contains:
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/sambapassword
and did:
cat /etc/passwd | grep test | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh >
/etc/samba/sambapassword
  


What do you mean by did not work at all? Have you sure that you are 
executing it in the right place? Theres nothing wrong with that line 
unless mksmbpasswd isn't where you think it is (isn't it in sbin?) or 
isn't working as it should (not likely).



Is there a way for me to sync the userpassword and smbpasswd? Help me

I don't know if I got it right. Doing what you are trying to do will 
just INITIALLY create the same accounts in samba as in /etc/passwd 
without setting the passwords (I don't know Fedora, but Debian based 
distros does that by default in the package scripts if the user choose 
to). Debian can convert it to tdbsam after that too. All that can be 
scripted.


If by "sync" you mean initially populate smbpasswd as you are trying to 
do, the easiest way is already this way. Any other way you will redoing 
the mksmbpasswd script.

Re: [Samba] Looking for a set of definitive answers (long)

[John H Terpstra]

Avery,

OK - I'll respond too.  I see Jeremy has beaten me to it.  

Let me tell you up front, if you want the documentation to be improved the 
best thing you can do is contribute changes and updates.  Making us aware of 
docuentation problems is a good start, but please take this a step further - 
send us your updates and changes.

One other thing, before I get too far into answer or commenting is this: The 
Official Samba3 HOWTO and Reference Guide (TOSHARG) is a document (book) that 
sets out how specific parts of Samba function.  It was never intended to 
provide a working template or a scripted recipe.  

I did write the Samba3-ByExample book with the specific objective to provide 
detailed step-by-step, fully worked, examples of real working networks, did 
you consult that document at any time?  Are you offering to improve its value 
and utility by contributing your experiences and recommendations?

Users and admins like yourself are in the best position to improve the 
documentation.

Please see comments below.

Chees,
 John T.

The last two goals are a little ambitious.  A drop-in replacement is a tall 
order that I believe can not be met today.  There are some existing tools, 
but none are a complete replacement for the nicely integrated Microsoft 
toolset.

I would not architect the solution this way.  There are way too many pitfals 
with this solution.  You have identified one already - the SID <=> UID/GID 
mapping challenge.

I would have used a RAID5 array in each server with rsync to synchronize from 
the master to the slave.  This could be run from cron.  Anyhow, this is a 
digression from your problems.

What lab work did you do in a test environment before rolling this life?  
Proper pre-rollout evaluation can save a lot of head-banging later.

Samba is an engine that sits on top of a host OS. That host OS is NOT Windows.  
Samba has to go along with the rules imposed by the host OS.  The TOSHARG 
chapter on "File, Directory, and Share Access Controls" should be the red 
flag that underlying file system semantics are exerted by Samba.  Windows 
admins need to be trained to understand that Samba is not Windows NT/2Kx, 
etc.

Jeremy's notes about the VFS modular work aimed at providing better Windows 
ACLs emulation may provide the solution you are looking for.

It would help me to understand your problem if you can point out how you went 
about searching for answers.  What questions did you frame mentally in your 
search? Where and how did you look?

Did you use a hard-copy of the book? Search online in the HTML web pages? Or 
did you download the PDF of the book and use the hotlinked pages in the

Great post, thanks for writing it !

I always appreciate it when users come and tell us about their
experiences, and where we can improve.

Now onto the specifics:

> - File permissions do not behave as expected (from the viewpoint of other 
> staff working with the server).

Yes, ACLs are just different between UNIX & Windows. We map Windows
ACLs onto POSIX as best as we can, but the mapping is not perfect.
The goal is to make the two common cases : "these groups and user
fred have access", and "these groups but *not* user fred have access"
as intuitive as possible.

For 3.3 we're planning to overlay a Windows ACL model that will
allow perfect Windows ACL restrictions to be added to Samba,
but not perfect Windows ACL allowances (ie. we'll store the
Windows ACLs and use them to restrict access early on access
denied returns, but still map down to POSIX to allow the underlying
file permissions to take effect).

Hopefully this might help you.

Ok, I believe we are *identical* w.r.t. Windows as far as
oplocks go. If the vendor says disable oplocks with Windows,
disable them with Samba also. If not, leave them in place.

Can you point that out to me. We've done more work on ACL compatibility
with 3.0.28a and I believe that fix may not now be needed.

Sounds like a bug to me. Not sure where, client app or Samba. Need

[Samba] Looking for a set of definitive answers (long)

[Avery Payne]

Question:

We recently moved to a Samba-based file server, which holds mission-
critical data on it (.dbf files used by our Accounting software, etc.)  
The goal was to create a file server that had excellent performance while 
providing Volume Management, but we felt that something like Veritas was 
overkill for our needs.  

Design Goals:
- Redundant Hardware
- Manual Failover (this was an acceptable solution)
- Very large storage capacity (minimum 1 Terabyte)
- Better than 100Mbyte/sec throughput
- Volume Management, Journaled Filesystem
- Drop-In Replacement for aging Win2k file server
- Use existing admin tools to avoid retraining


The proposed solution was a Samba file server running on a pair of 
redundant servers, with one connected to an eSATA raid box, with LVM and 
Ext3 providing volume management and journaling.  Our transition was a 
bit rough, but in the end it has been very stable and fast.  We have been 
really pleased with the performance of the hardware/software combo, 
seeing sustained throughput of about 250Mbyte/sec with peaks as high as 
300Mbyte/sec.  But along the way, we encountered some oddities, and I 
have some remaining questions.

First, the oddities (long-time Samba devs and admins, take this with a 
grain of salt, when I say oddity I mean it from the perspective of an 
experienced Windows administrator):

- File permissions do not behave as expected (from the viewpoint of other 
staff working with the server).

The *nix permission bits cause a user, group, and "Everyone" entry to 
become permanent and persistent.  There was some initial grousing over 
this fact as our long-time Windows admin scratched his head over why he 
couldn't remove these entries as he saw fit.  After explaining that there 
would always be three settings no matter what, that they could never be 
deleted, and that they represented actual filesystem-level bits that 
wouldn't go away, it was accepted.  I didn't notice if this was in the 
docs or not, but I certainly didn't find it.  It also meant enabling ACLs 
on all of the filesystems and doing some creative thinking with the 
permissions.  The closest I could do was to map all files as owner root, 
group set to Domain Admins, and Everyone set to disallowed; members of 
the IT staff would be mapped with the "admin users" parameter; from 
there, any additional permissions would be mapped via ACLs.  We've found 
that this method has the closest behavior to a "real" Windows server and 
has satisfied everyone.

- Permissions don't propigate through the filesystem.

On a Real Windows Box(tm) you would be able to set permissions at the 
parent level of a directory and have them show up for each child object.  
Because the filesystem semantics are not the same in *nix-land, you need 
to go into the directly and manually propigate the permissions, or if 
you're stuck trying to administer permissions through a windows session 
(like the other IT staffers in my department), using the Advanced setting 
to force-reset all permissions on all child objects.  This has also 
caused a bit of grousing as we have several nested directories with a 
heiarchy of permissions; getting one parent directory wrong means 
rebuilding permissions for several child directories as well.  I have 
never been able to get a satisfactory answer as to how to resolve this 
issue, other than the process I described above (which I had to resolve 
for myself without documentation).

- To oplock or not to oplock: that is the question

The documentation is not entirely clear about when you should and 
shouldn't use oplocks on shared files.  It would have been much simplier 
(IMHO) to simply say "use your best judgement, BUT if you are using 
shared data files like Access or Excel or DBF's, you will want to disable 
them or you'll have problems!".  Yes those words show up on newsgroups, 
but it should also show up in the documentation clearly.

- Office file locking workaround(s) were not immediately obvious

Buried in the nice (but large) Official Samba Reference and HOWTO is a 
fix for sharing Word and Excel files through Samba, which involves using 
the sticky bit for group permissions.  While the fix was adequate and 
works well, it should have been I think a little more prominently 
displayed in the documentation.

- What?  You want me to unlock that file?

We have had recurring instances where a workstation on the network has 
seized a DBF file and held onto it, not allowing any other workstation or 
server to perform writes to the file.  This locking issue shows up in 
random intervals and always requires that we have the person quit the 
program we are using and log back in.  It is not an application issue 
that we can determine - the rest of the system continues to funciton, it 
just prevents one of our servers (or anyone else) from locking the file.

- Speaking of which - just WHO does have that file lock?

For some reason, using the computer management tool in a windows 
workstation sh

Re: [Samba] smb_ldap_setup_connection failed with blank user Password

[Charlie]

It looks like your LDAP backend is rejecting the bind - if the backend
was OpenLDAP, this would be because the LDAP administrator disabled
anonymous (passwordless) binds.  I don't know eDirectory, I jumped
ship on NDS years ago.

That's all I know, sorry.

[Samba] user can not print to cups printer

[Andreas]

Hello,

we installed cups, the cups-windows driver and added the printers to 
samba via cupsaddsmb.
As administrators we can print to this printer. When I look into windows 
security tab "everyone" has the right to print, but when the standard 
users logs in there are two problems:


- the printer does not appear in ther printers windows and I have to add 
it a secont time to the user


- the user has not the right to print to the printers.

Actualy I solved it by printing via http to cups, but the installation 
steps are to complicated. **


Can anyone please tell me if there is something wrong in our smb.conf

Thanks
Andreas

Re: [Samba] add machine script option

[Charlie]

Red Hat linux includes a few extra switches on useradd.  This is from
the RHEL4 man page, but I think Fedora and all recent versions of Red
Hat have these:

   -M The user home directory will not be created, even if the
system wide settings  from  /etc/login.defs is to create home dirs.

   -n A  group having the same name as the user being added to
the system will be created by default. This option will turn off this
Red Hat Linux specific behavior.

Note the "-n" switch is related to Red Hat's penchant for creating
single-user groups, which makes some sense in a pure RH linux
environment but probably translates very poorly to the flat namespace
shared by users and groups in the Windows world.

I think Suse's been using Thorsten Kukuk's LDAP capable pwutils for
some time, but Red Hat was shipping a fork of the original Jockgrrl
shadowutils that was totally unPAMmed (it directly operated on
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow) until RHEL5.  I have not yet examined or
tested the RHEL5 stuff to see if they've got PAM working yet, or if
they've managed to shoehorn in LDAP.

If you are using a Red Hat samba server and you need to create machine
trusts in any backend other than vanilla shadow suite (/etc/passwd,
/etc/shadow and friends) you will need to write yourself a custom
script.  If your POSIX authentication backend is NIS, Hesiod or LDAP
you will really really want to involve the person who built the
backend, or failing that the person who currently maintains it.

Re: [Samba] HowTo clear a share using smbclient ?

[Charlie]

"find /full/path/to/directory -type f  -exec rm {} \;"  will delete
all files found below /full/path/to/directory without deleting pipes,
directories, etc.

"find /full/path/to/directory -exec rm {} \;" will blow out everything.

If you don't use an environment variable for the path you run no
risks.  Admittedly you can get in trouble with find /$FullPath because
some logic error introduced by a maintenance programmer in the future
could cause $FullPath to resolve to the empty string... you might use
one of these tricks:

#1 - bodge up a sandbox

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/safedir  2>/dev/null
if cd /tmp/safedir
  then
find $FullPath  -exec rm {} \;
else
   echo ERROR: Unable to clear $FullPath
fi

#2 - sanity check

#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "$FullPath"]
  then
  find $FullPath  -exec rm {} \;
else
  echo FATAL ERROR
  echo Moronic programming SNAFU
  echo variable FullPath is empty!
fi

As a general rule, never script file glob wildcards into bash (because
a big directory will make bash's globbing overrun the shell command
line length limitation of your OS) and always put appropriate  sanity
checks into path composition code to detect unset variables.

Hope that helped!

[Samba] ADS, NTLM, KRB and other crazy acronyms

[Jason Gerfen]

Ok I have a problem and I am not sure how I can go about resolving it.

This environment utilizes a strange configuration I have not seen 
anywhere else.


Kerberos Realm is: REALM.COM

SMB.CONF
realm = REALM.COM

%> net ads join
Failed: no servers

If I change it to this:

SMB.CONF
realm = SUB.REALM.COM

%> net ads join
'machine' added to 'SUB.REALM.COM'

My problem is not this but I suspect it to be part of the problem. You 
see I can see all users, all groups within the domain but when I try to 
authentication one of these users against the SUB.REALM.COM domain it fails.


Part of the problem here is that our AD setup does not contain valid 
password hashes so any NTLM authentication fails. Is there a way to have 
this ADS server type a member of the SUB.REALM.COM domain but explicitly 
authenticate all users to REALM.COM (Kerberos Realm).


Thanks in advance.

do the samba accounts already exist in another format such as smbpasswd

to have samba and unix passwords changed at the same time, use ldap

Now when I try and connect I get the following failure .
shark:/etc/samba# smbclient -L shark -U yogesh
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

After Digging thru the logs I figuered that if I enter
password using
"smbldap-password" . It works.

Now my Stupid questions ?
I already have unix users working of LDAP, How can I
automate the addition of remaining accounts with SAMBA ?

Also whenever a unix user changes passwd samba password is
not updated ?

Any pointers will be of great help.

Thanks in advace

The Mac won't join to a Samba (NT4-style) domain, only to an Active

[Samba] Samba4 wouldn't create smbpython

[Martin Faust]

Hello,
i have installed samba alpha3, domain-join works fine. But smbpython  
setup/adduser is buggy, so i tried to install newest checkout.

(I also tried it with a new installed machine)
After configure, make, and make install there is no smbpython in  
source/bin. Everyother seems to bee there.
It is a ubuntu with the packets installed mentioned in the tutorial  
plus python and python-dev and build-essential,linux-headers.

I can't see any errors regarding this in the make-msgs.

Anyone an idea were (my) smbpython is?
best regards, Martin Faust

Re: [Samba] Existing files don't show up in share, new files do (Solved!)

[Pepijn Schmitz]

I got it. SELinux was causing the problem. Grmbl... I don't know why I 
didn't think to check before, but I took a look in my syslog and saw 
entries like these:

The existing files have a different security context (file_t) than the 
new ones (samba_share_t). I have no idea how or why this has happened, 
and frankly I don't feel like spending any more time to find out 
(although I'm still interested if someone knows more about how this 
could happen). Since the server is now just an internal file server I 
decided just to turn off SELinux. Now the share works perfectly again!


Thanks everyone for your time and patience!

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

Ok then my guess is that somehow Samba is reverting to nobody/nogroup or
similar guest permissions.  chmod 777 Audio and see what happens?

I tried commenting out the write list = pepijn line and adding a guest

The "Permission denied"s correspond exactly to the files and directories 
that are missing. As you can see, it somehow can't stat (whatever that

The "Permission denied"s correspond exactly to the files and directories 
that are missing. As you can see, it somehow can't stat (whatever that 
is) the existing files, but it can the new files. Which is bizarre, 
since their permissions are the same. We need a real Samba internals 
guru. What exactly is it trying to stat, and how is it possible for that 
to succeed for some files but fail for others while having the same 
permissions?

[Samba] [Slightly OT] Mac and Samba

[Rubin Bennett]

Hello all...
I have a question that is outside the realm of my experience but that
has come up several times recently.

I have a mixed network (some Macs, some PCs) that needs a server.  I'm
going through the standard process of deciding between Samba and a
Windows domain controller, my strong preference being to install
Linux/Samba server.  The sticking point seems to be that the Mac users
need to be able to run Access and Quickbooks, recent versions, neither
of which are ported to the Mac as I understand it.

So my question is this:  When faced with this situation, what do folks
out there do?  Install a Terminal server of some flavor (out of reach
for this tiny non-profit)?  Or is there some simple thing I could do
that would bridge the gap in a cost effective and reasonably easy to
administer way?

Thanks very much in advance,
Rubin

Re: [Samba] Existing files don't show up in share, new files do

[Pepijn Schmitz]

I tried getfacl on both the share directory and the files within it, but 
it showed only the regular UNIX permissions, no access control lists. 
Nevertheless I tried mounting the filesystem that contains 
/mnt/data/multimedia with noacl, but it made no difference...

or reset the ACLs on the filesystem.

Run getfacl on the directory and see if there's anything out of bounds
there; that's quite frankly the only thing I can think of that would
cause this behaviour.  Disappearing files have *always* been due to a
mismatch between Samba permissions and those set by the underlying
filesystem in my experience (10+ years of Samba and counting).  Not to
say that it's impossible you've found something new and different, but
statistics say it's very likely a permissions/ acl issue.

Let's see if it's permissions(which is what I think it is).  chmod 777 *

went on.  The uid of 500 of the new file seems strange.

This is the share definition:

So no map system or map hidden. I should also note that neither the

And then perform an ls -al in the roadrunner directory the output is as

As you can see it only show the two test files I created since this

It happens with both.

Let's see if it's permissions(which is what I think it is).  chmod 777 *
in that directory and then see if it works.  Then we can figure out what
went on.  The uid of 500 of the new file seems strange.

This is the share definition:

[multimedia]
comment = Multimedia Files
path = /mnt/data/multimedia
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = pepijn

So no map system or map hidden. I should also note that neither the
share
definition nor the contents of the directory have changed. The only
thing
that happened was that the server, which used to be my router and
firewall
also, is now only a file server and no longer has a static IP address.



Are you using ACL's?

I don't think so. How can I tell?



What about giving us an ls -l of a

When I mount the share on another Linux system using this command:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=pepijn //10.0.0.163/multimedia roadrunner/

And then perform an ls -al in the roadrunner directory the output is as
follows:

As you can see it only show the two test files I created since this
problem started.



Is it just files or does it happen to

It happens with both.

What parameters are set on the share?  Anything like map system, map
hidden?  Are you using ACL's?  What about giving us an ls -l of a
directory that isn't showing files.  Is it just files or does it happen to
folders too.

Re: [Samba] Existing files don't show up in share, new files do

[Pepijn Schmitz]

*Bump*

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm still at a loss and so it seems 
is everyone else... :-)


In short: on one of my existing Samba 3.0 shares (Linux server, ext3 
filesystem) all existing files have suddenly become invisible, but it is 
still possible to create, modify and delete new files (and I see no 
differences between these new files and the existing ones). This happens 
with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux CIFS and Linux smclient clients, 
so it is likely to be a server problem. I'm stuck and I'm hoping a 
bright mind from this list will be able to help!


Kind regards,

To recap: one of my Samba shares suddenly mysteriously hides all 
existing files, while still working completely normally with any newly 
created files.


The shared directory (/mnt/data/multimedia) looks like this:

When I mount the share on another Linux system using mount -t cifs, 
the contents look like this:


drwxrwxrwx 11  500  5000 2008-05-17 14:08 .
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 2008-05-17 14:06 ..
-rwxr--r--  1  500  5006 2008-05-17 14:08 test.txt

The test.txt is a file I created since this problem started and as you 
can see it's the only one visible. I can change its contents on the 
file server and see the changes on the client. I can manipulate the 
file on the client, even create new files, it all works perfectly. But 
I can't see any of the existing files or directories. It's utterly 
bizarre to me.


I tried using smbclient, and it displays the same behaviour, so it 
really looks like the problem is on the server side. I tried 
"touch"ing the existing directories but that made no difference either.


Does anyone know what might cause this strange behaviour?

Kind regards,

I have a Linux server (Fedora Core 8) which used to be my firewall and
router as well as file and print server. There are two Samba shares on
it I have mounted on various Windows clients: my home directory and a
multimedia directory with my music and videos, etc. I mount the former
as H: on all my Windows machines and the latter as M:.

Recently I installed a new server to be router and firewall. I kept the
existing server as file server though, only it now no longer has a fixed
IP address, and it is no longer configured to be be the master browser.

Since this change, my Windows clients no longer see the existing files
on the multimedia share! Some strange features of the problem are:

* It occurs on my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine, as well as
on my Windows XP SP2 machine, in exactly the same way.
* My home directory share doesn't have the problem, I can still see all
the existing files there.
* There are no errors connecting to the share from the Windows side, nor
do I see strange things in the logs on the file server.
* I can still create new files on the share from Windows! The new file
will show up locally on the file server (as verified by logging in with
SSH and checking the shared directory), and my other Windows client will
see the new file as well.
* I can also create new files locally on the file server, and these will
also show up on the Windows clients.
* I can see no difference between the existing files and any new files
created locally or through a Windows client. The file permissions are
all the same.
* The only difference between the two shares is that my home directory
is on the root filesystem (ext3) and the multimedia share
(/mnt/data/multimedia) is on a mounted ext3 file system (/mnt/data). But
this hasn't changed!
* While googling the problem I found some references to a "directory
name cache size" option which might be related, so I added a "directory
name cache size = 0" to my smb.conf, but that made no difference.

I've attached my smb.conf (I've removed all the comments for brevity).
I'll provide any log, trace or debug info if someone tells 

RE: [Samba] squid + samba error

[Jason Waters]

How many users do you have?  It says you reached your max for mapping.
Try changing

winbind uid = 1-2
winbind gid = 1-2

To

winbind uid = 1-3
winbind gid = 1-3

[Samba] Fwd: permissions

I guess not many people use this on here?  perhaps the cups list is a better
place to ask this?

Hi, I am trying to run the cupsaddsmb command which uses: smbclient,
rpcclient, adddriver, setdriver commands to do its work.  It seems like it
expects be be root, since it has to write to various places:
/var/spool/cups/tmp/ and /usr/share/cups/drivers.  My question is since I am
using LDAP as the backend, root can't easily be used; does anyone have any
recommendations on how this can be done?

Thanks,

try making the shared directory be owned by root:root and mode 1777 and set
the "WORM" share settings like this:

read only = no
inherit owner = yes
force create mode = 0644
force directory mode = 1777
nt acl support = no
