Re: [Samba] iconv issues with samba-3.2.15

[samba user]

I see the following link that suggests that there was a bug in gcc4.3.3
related to iconv:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/330020

Can someone please confirm if gcc4.3.3 can be used for building samba 3.2.15
(on MIPS CPU)?

Thanks in advance,
Marty.

[Samba] Trust between Samba PDC and AD domain

[Scott Goodwin]

Sorry, I sent this through the wrong email address a few minutes ago; 
apologies if its a duplicate.



I've pored through the documentation, wiki, lists, etc, and I can't seem
to come to a concise conclusion on how to accomplish this.
My specific scenario is the following.

I have a samba PDC domain called domainA, and an AD domain called
domainB.  domainA and domainB are different named domains, and they each
authenticate logins and credentials on their own turf.
The users on domainA need to access resources on domainB, so we set up
each user with a separate account in domainB (but they are not the same
name).  For example, my user name in domainA is sgoodwin, but in domainB
it is goodwsb.  I have to enter "domainB\goodwsb" + password every time
I access a different server in domainB (and there are many servers --
domainB is a very large domain).
Obviously, I need an interdomain trust set up, but I am unclear on some
of the finer points mentioned in the samba docs.

First off, I am hoping it is possible (and simple) to set it up so that
the user accounts in domainA map to their domainB accounts, so that no
extra authentication is needed. So, SSO between both domains. Is this
possible even though the account names are different?

Second, am I supposed to join my samba PDC to the AD domain as a member
server, or is that even possible when keeping the two domains separately
controlled?  Some of the docs seem to imply this, but maybe I'm
misinterpreting?

Without dumping all my configuration info, logs, etc, in the post, can
someone give me some hints on how I would set this up?  I don't need a
full hand-holding... just the direction to go in.
NOTE:  before you link me to
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html,
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html,

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/InterdomainTrusts.html,
I've already read through these entirely, and am still unsure which
scenario I need to follow.

Re: [Samba] URGENT! Issues after upgrade from Ubuntu Dapper to Lucid

[Jack Downes]

So... a LOT has changed.  Your best bet is to revert that machine back 
to a samba 3.0 and build up a test machine with samba 3.4.


I don't know what's wrong with your setup (don't have one like it), but 
i do know that having time to work on a system is much easier to deal 
with than to do it under the gun.


good luck!

Re: [Samba] setuids mount option broke

[Derek Simkowiak]

> /Does it work if you change 'setuids' to 'suid'?/

   No.  Using "suid", the behavior is identical as "setuids".

   I was hoping to use either Samba over SSH, or else sshfs (Fuse), for 
mounting these remote home dirs using SSH.  But Samba's "setuids" option 
is broke, and sshfs doesn't even have that option.  Thus, I was forced 
to set up an OpenVPN server and mount the homes with NFS over OpenVPN.  
NFS sucks, and I hope the setuids option comes back. 

   Getting offtopic, but for the archives: I had to use the NFS mount 
options "soft,udp,retrans=0" so that I could log in if the VPN went 
down.  With those options, there's only a ~4 second delay before the NFS 
gives up with an error.  If you leave set it to "tcp", your SSH shell 
will lock up for 5 minutes (when you log in and it tries to read 
~/.bashrc), another 5 minutes if you accidentally type "ls", and another 
5 minutes if you hit [TAB] and it tries to do command-line completion 
for you.  You can tweak your TCP timeouts, but do you really want to 
tweak TCP settings just to make NFS fail in a reasonable fashion (and 
thus possibly break everything else)?  And if you leave it at the 
default "hard" instead of "soft", the system will lock up indefinitely 
when you log in (trying to read ~/.bashrc).


   I love OpenVPN, but installing, configuring, generating certs, 
copying certs to the client, testing, setting up monitoring, etc. was a 
couple hours of work, compared to 5 minutes setting up an SSH tunnel 
with my pre-existing key... and yet, OpenVPN was still less work than 
trying to tunnel NFS over SSH (thanks to dynamic RPC ports, lockd, etc.).



Thanks,
Derek

The client code has been moved out of the samba package recently.  In 
the current release of the client (the client is now released 
separately from the samba suite, but the two aren't in sync yet) the 
setuid functionality is deprecated (but can still be enabled at

Can you resolve all of the samba4 generated dns records externally

For the archives, I reported this as bug 7395 - as discussed, it appears 
that Windows 7 has tightened up a bit on valid SIDs and we somehow had an 
invalid one, possibly due to an endianness issue in an old version of Samba.

Replacing our SID that started with S-1-5-352321536 with S-1-5-21 solved 
all our problems.

  Is there anything else I can try?  Looking at this earlier post, it seems

current release of the client (the client is now released separately from
the samba suite, but the two aren't in sync yet) the setuid functionality is
deprecated (but can still be enabled at compile time).  At the moment the
option is being called 'legacy'; I don't know if the functionality is being

Some more info (and less ranting) would help:

- samba version
- logs on the samba server side when you experience these problems

[Samba] iconv issues with samba-3.2.15

[samba user]

Hello Experts:

I upgraded from 3.0.25 to 3.2.15 - the compilation went thru fine but I get
segmentation fault during runtime. It dumps core when function lp_load_ex
(in file param/loadparm.c) calls init_iconv().

I'm using GCC 4.3.3 to compile samba.

I tried google search but couldn't find anything relevant. Can somone please
suggest what could be going wrong.

Thanks,
Marty

[Samba] ARGH... once again samba causes "permission" errors.

[Jeff Wiegley]

I've been doing unix sys. admin for nearly 20 years and yet EVERY single
time I have to setup samba I have configuration problems.

Before we start let's clear up some common misunderstandings: I have
googled for the answer. I have spent the last six hours doing so and trying
various "suggestions". Most of these suggestions point to solutions
involving chown or chmod.  These are not the problems (or I will be
very surprised).

# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = CYTE.COM
server string = CyteNAS
netbios name = NAS
hosts allow = 127., 10.0.10.

[nas]
comment = NAS
path = /mnt/nas
force user = nas
force group = nas
read only = No

# cat /etc/samba/smbpasswd
nas:500:75891A0CAAF2F9828AE88C0FE87091EF:E8C4E8E10FEE888764D18AD4A0AC61F5:[U  
]:LCT-4C00625E:


# grep nas /etc/passwd
nas:x:500:500::/mnt/nas:/bin/bash

# grep nas /etc/group
nas:x:500:

# ls -al /mnt/nas
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 nas  nas  4096 May 28 17:01 .
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 May 28 15:04 ..

So before you tell me about "permission" problems please note the following
  1) The permissions on all the files is 777... EVERYBODY can do anything.
  2) samba IS configured to force the user and group to the owner of 
the share

  path anyways.
  3) The group and user exist and they have their passwords configured
   correctly.

I can map the share on my Windows 7 workstation. But any attempt to
create anything yields a pop-up window that says:

"You need permission to perform this action"
  nas(\\NAS)
  Space free: 89.7 GB
  Total size: 97.0 GB

Why am I getting ANY permission problems??? Frankly. I don't think it is
a permission problem. (I set log level to 10; the output is long so I won't
include it because I looked through it and didn't see any errors reported
or any mention of permission denied.)

GRRR!

It gets worse. a 90GB NAS storage is pretty useless. The NAS is actually
a 6TB Raid5 array with an XFS filesystem. But if I actually mount it

# /etc/init.d/smb stop
# mount /mnt/nas
# ls -al /mnt/nas
total 8
drwxrwxrwx 2 nas  nas 6 May 28 18:11 .
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 May 28 15:04 ..

see... no difference in permissions or ownership but now it is a mount
point.

Now I can't even map the samba share at all. All I get is a window
that says:

   "Attemping to connect to \\NAS\nas"
  (Cancel)

And it never seems to go away.

and yes, under both cases I can simply login as the user nas via
ssh and touch/mkdir or do anything I want and the files get created
just fine. Frankly I think this is another case of Windows presenting
the user with a misleading diagnostic "Permission" problem when
something much more fundamental is going wrong with Samba.

Please help.

- Jeff
