RE: [Samba] Sudden domain login problems from XP-pro sp2 clients, Please help!
I have been having the same problem, except that it is not limited to XP. What seems to happen in my case is that a I can rejoin a computer and then another computer exhibits the same problem. I never had these issues when I was using Samba 2.2.7a (I had other minor issues, but nothing as weird as this). I have sometimes removed entries from smbpasswd before rejoining, which might help the rejoining, but does not help the problem of other computers getting kicked off the domain. I run a small 13 computer network off a Samba server made by a mere P2-233, 256MB ram, 4GB HD (2GB free). Where does one start with this?

He's on WinXP SP1. He has a ton of icons and things on his desktop (39M worth of data according to his profile) but I'm not sure if that is a problem. When he logs in, a few of his icons which point to network applications have only the default Windows shortcut image. If he right-clicks the Desktop and clicks Refresh the pictures become what they are supposed to be. I do not see this problem with other systems, but this is the only XP SP1 box I have. We can't upgrade him because we are waiting on some hardware compatibility issues to be resolved. Is it just that he has too much on his desktop, or is there something I can do on either his side or the server side to fix this issue? It seems somewhat similar to other refresh problems of the print queue and Explorer windows.

[Samba] Intermittent failed logon for one computer
Hello, We have been using Samba 3.0.7 for almost a month now, and today marks the second time that I see a machine (one out of twelve on our network that gives this error when I log in: The system cannot log you on to this domain because the system's computer account in its primary domain is missing or the password on that account is incorrect. Last time this happened, I thought it might be a problem with that computer needing to be removed and then rejoined to the domain, which didn't work (the user still was not able to log on), and then half an hour later, the user could log on again. Can anybody tell me what might be wrong - on other posts it looks like a problem with the guest account (nobody), but specifying the nobody account as guest doesn't seem to help (though I did check to make sure that a nobody account in fact existed). I should mention that the 2 computers that had this problem are on a subnet (192.168.1.0). I am sending my smb.conf as a post script. Thanks for your help!!!

RE: [Samba] Just a quick suggestion for backup solution, please???
I backup our RedHat linux server over our network to tape every night via Retrospect Server 6.5. While it does not offer decent support for other linux flavors, you can try to install the client rpm using alien or something like that. I've never gotten it to work on Debian, but I am a mere grasshopper at Linux.

[Samba] deprecated entries?
Hello, I just upgraded to Samba 3.0.7 from 2.2.7a, and think I have most of the bugs worked out now. But I have to wonder if some of my smb.conf entries have deprecated or morphed into other newer entries. Would anybody care to point me to where I could evaluate that myself?

[Samba] Ran into a problem upgrading to Samba 3.0.7
Hi everybody, I am almost done with my migration to Samba 3 using smb passwd, and I have to say I like the tools a lot. I did run into a problem though, and I think it is because I used the domain admin group line in smb.conf, not knowing it had deprecated. I removed it, but now when I run net groupmap list, I have 2 entries for the Domain Admins group. 1 entry maps to my UNIX admin group, and the other maps to root. The practical downside of this is that when I log onto my account (a member of admin/Domain Admins), I have no administrative privilege. I think that the double entry is causing the problem, but when I run 'net groupmap delete Domain Admins', it will not allow me to delete the account so as to recreate it. Any suggestions?

Ok, I figured it out by doing: net groupmap delete sid=[sid] The group with that sid still appears when I run the 'net groupmap list' command, but with an ending of - -1 in its line.

RE: [Samba] Ran into a problem upgrading to Samba 3.0.7
I thought I might have removed the wrong mapping. Great! That is fixed now. The only real problem that remains is that I log into my workstations as a user that I had added to my unix group admin. I mapped admin to Domain Admins by using the command: net groupmap modify ntgroup=Domain Admins unixgroup=admin Did I miss anything? When I run 'net groupmap list' it does have the correct mapping. I just don't know what else to check.

[Samba] Migrating to a new PDC
Hello, I don't know if my last message went through to the list. If so, kindly ignore it. I do have a question though. I am trying to migrate a Samba 2.2.7a PDC to another computer, as it shows signs of dying HW. I am using my copy of the How-To to adapt the NT4-style migration to Samba 3. I joined the new server to the domain, but when I run net rpc vampire, I get a message saying that the current domain conflicts with the local domain. The SIDs displayed are indeed different, so I thought it might help to run the net rpc getsid command. That doesn't seem to change the SID in such a way as to have run net rpc vampire successfully. Any thoughts on where I can go from here? Thanks, Dan -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
