Re: [Samba] Port Forward UDP 1911

[Christopher Barry]

Paul,
This, of course is not the list for such questions. This list deals
with samba only. My suggestion to you: get and install shorewall, which
is an excellent configuration front-end for IPTables, 
(www.shorewall.net) then read the configuration documentation there,
then if you need further assistance, Google for shorewall-users, and
either join that list, or search the archives.

Good luck
Christopher

do not create a [homes] share.

Instead, as Klaus suggests,

[my-home]
path= /home/%U/somedir
valid users = %U
browsable   = true
guest ok= false
admin users = @your_admin_group_name


If you're on a Windows domain, and you're using security = server,
on the PDC in the user manager specify the UNC path to the home
directory as in \\server\my-home

Could the fact that the old name has eight characters and the new one
has nine play a role? Just wondering if their may be some char limit.

1. You need to run Samba on a Unix system with a filesystem that
supports ACLs.

2. When compiling Samba, use the --with-acls option with configure:

# ./configure --with-acls

All,

I'm not sure about the script to which Guillaume speaks, but I have created a script called domainsync which I use to synchronize my NIS domain with my Windows domain. I add/delete users and groups in Windows 2000, and this script replicates the changes to NIS. It's configurable via a conf file, allows for special users and groups, will tar and bzip2 user dirs of deleted users, email new UNIX users their account info with a randomly generated password. It's pretty slick, and I think I'm ready for the group here to check it out, give comments on improvements, and if it's useful to anyone, use it to help make your lives a little bit easier. I'll look back in here over the next few days for replys to see if anyone is interested. If so, I'll get it up on an ftp site for you all to examine.

Christopher

did you try
smbmount //filer/homes -o username=$USER

I know that typing \\server\homes in the run box produces my home dir,
but have not tried mounting it.

You can access other windows PC's from Windows PC's? To access a windows

read up on the root pre-exec and post-exec commands. When someone access
a share that points to a cd-rom drive, pre-exec can mount it (actually
it can run anything you want), and when they leave the share, it can
un-mount it. In other words, you can have it mounted only while someone
is actively accessing it.

Good Luck,
Christopher

You have 2 options as I see it:
1. EASY: don't map the share!
2. HARDER: Compile samba --with-msdfs, drive-map the *root* of the msdfs
tree, and make the cd-rom share a 'hidden share' folder under the root.
The name of the msdfs symlink will appear as the share name to your
users. That way, even though the drive is mapped to the root,
pre/post-exec will still work when someone actually clicks on the folder
under the root.

Read up on msdfs use in samba. It's not easy at first, but once you
learn it, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Good Luck,
Christopher

It's not essential, it just avoids confusion from the user perspective.
When they browse the server - as opposed to using the mapped drive, they
would see the msdfs root, and the share at the same level under the
server. Then when they opened the madfs root share, there would be a
folder that pointed back to the share that was directly under the
server. like so:

[server]
 |_
 |  |_
 |_

If you just make all of the shares that are accessed by an msdfs root on
the same box hidden, in this case  it's just a lot cleaner.
Now browsing the server looks like so:

[server]
 |_
|_


Obviously, if  lived on a box different from that which
hosted the root, this would not be necessary, unless you only wanted
people to access that data through the root - and you might - so you
could log it in one place for instance. 

msdfs is a great way to abstrct the location of the data so you can move
stuff around behind the scenes, to take advantage of a new server for
instance, and your users do not have to change a thing. Also, you can
organize multiple shares from multiple servers under a *single* drive
mapping - VERY cool.

LDAP would be the best solution.

Re: [Samba] Domain Users cannot use quic

[Christopher Barry]

This is documented in the QB website. Local user must be at least a
power user of the local machine. In fact IIRC, I had to actually make
them local admin to use the product. I went around and around with their
support on this issue - very stupid!!!

RE: [Samba] Exchange data with NT Wins server

[Christopher Barry]

Agreed. I have not encountered this situation myself. I use dns for
this, and make my remotes set the ip of my samba nmbd for wins.

Can anyone help this guy!!?
