The software is installed under the context of the SYSTEM account (i.e. the computer account) on the workstations. Make sure that the Domain Computers domain group (or some other group containing the computer accounts) has permission to access both the share and the files. The Samba log files are a good resource to check for any errors as to why the computer accounts aren't able to access the files.

[Samba] Winbind deadlock with AD and nss
Hi, I'm testing out Samba 3.0.25c with Active Directory using the rid idmap backend. In certain cases there seems to be a repeatable deadlock in winbind. I have a local user "ed" created with uid 100 and no user exists with uid 1001. Here's the behavior I'm seeing with wbinfo: # time wbinfo -U 100 S-1-22-1-100 real0m0.047s user0m0.014s sys 0m0.007s # time wbinfo -U 1001 S-1-22-1-1001 real5m35.097s user0m0.015s sys 0m0.011s The first command behaves as expected but the expected result of the second command is "Could not convert uid 1001 to sid" with an execution time of much less than 1 second as is seen with Samba 3.0.24 and lower. This is running on Solaris 10 (x86) and compiled with Sun Studio 11 using the OpenLDAP and MIT Kerberos 5 libraries from Blastwave. The exact same configuration works fine with 3.0.24 with the only difference being the idmap configuration changes between 3.0.24 and 3.0.25. In /etc/nsswitch.conf I have: passwd: files winbind group: files winbind During the query to winbindd, uid 1001 is not within the range used for the MYAD rid backend which causes the lookup to then be attempted by passdb. passdb in turn calls getpwuid which ends up querying winbind through nss_winbind which is what leads to the deadlock. When I remove winbind from nsswitch.conf the 5 minute delay is gone but wbinfo returns "S-1-22-1-1001" which is different from what previous Samba versions returned. Here's the contents smb.conf: [global] workgroup = MYAD realm = MYAD.ORG security = ads encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd winbind separator = + winbind use default domain = yes winbind nested groups = no obey pam restrictions = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes allow trusted domains = no idmap uid = 1-1 idmap gid = 1-1 idmap domains = MYAD idmap config MYAD: default = yes idmap config MYAD: backend = rid idmap config MYAD: range = 1-1 idmap config MYAD: readonly = yes name resolve order = host dns proxy = no In Samba versions prior to 3.0.25 the idmap options in smb.conf were: idmap uid = 1-1 idmap gid = 1-1 idmap backend = idmap_rid:MYAD=1-1 Is there something wrong with my new idmap configuration or is this a bug? 3.0.25 implicitly adds the passdb backend which I don't think older versions did. Disabling this might fix the problem but is there any way to do that? Any other ideas on things to try?

As it is now, you can get this to work by creating symlinks to the snapshots under each user's home directory. So for each snapshot and user do something like: # ls -s /mnt/snapshots/snap1/user1 /home/user1/@GMT-2003.08.05-12.00.00 This gets a bit cumbersome with large numbers of users and snapshots.

(Basically, if I understand the Windows-terminology > correctly, I have instituted Local Group Policy rather than 'real' > Group Policy?) If you're up for some lower level methods and roll-your-own type solutions, you may find the following helpful. I use this method to supplement the usual Active Directory Group Policies for cases where Group Policies don't work for one reason or another. For example, it can be used to apply user policies based on the machine that is logged into which can't normally be done. With a few exceptions, all Group Policies actually do are make specific, documented changes to the registry in either the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (for computer/machine policies) or HKEY_CURRENT_USER (for user policies) registry hives. The documentation for all of the Group Policies is found in the C:\Windows\inf\*.adm files. Once you familiarize yourself with the file format you can find out exactly what registry values are set to enable certain Group Policies. After you determine what registry values need to be set you can deploy those changes using various methods: * Create a script (JavaScript, VBScript, Python if you have it installed on the PCs, etc.) that sets the appropriate values in the registry. When done in a script you have the flexibility to conditionally apply changes. * Create a REG file with the changes and then create a script that imports the registry file using reg.exe. For computer/machine policies, set the script to run when the computer boots up. For user policies, run the script during the login script so that it runs as the logged in user. It's not a point and click method like Active Directory Group Policies but it can be used to accomplish the same thing.

I haven't used it yet for any high load applications, but Samba runs just fine on Solaris with ZFS. Currently the main missing feature in Samba with regards to ZFS is support for ZFS ACLs. It will respect the ACLs that are set from Solaris, but they can't be viewed or set from a Windows client. Work is currently underway to implement this feature though: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2007-January/051123.html I can't speak much for performance since I haven't specifically tested that aspect, but it seems at least on par with other filesystems. > The reason I am looking into this is I find ZFS features of in snapshotting > etc. very attractive.

I wrote up a short page on some fun things you can do with ZFS and Samba: http://www.edplese.com/samba-with-zfs.html The last item on the page is a VFS module I put together that makes Samba's shadow copy features work very nicely with ZFS snapshots.

When a user logs in and doesn't have a local profile already on the machine, Windows will copy the ntuser.dat file as part of the initial profile that is used for the user. Once copied to the client machine, the ntuser.dat is then writable. In most (and likely almost all) cases, the ntuser.dat is already read-only on the server because you don't want a user to modify the default profile for every new user. That being said, I'm guessing that it's not even possible to load a registry hive (in this case ntuser.dat) as read-only in Windows. If your goal is to try to prevent modifications to the user profile, what I've found works quite well is the following: 1. Set it up to pull the default profile from the server when a user logs in (this is usually the default if roaming profiles aren't setup). 2. Run a script every time the client starts up to delete every local user profile (everything in C:\Documents and Settings except for certain system user profiles). 3. Automatically shut down computers at night to enforce that the script to delete the profiles runs at least daily, plus it saves power. Obviously there are tradeoffs with this method but I find it to work exceedingly well. Users can still make changes to the settings which are not locked out by Group Policies but they are completely restored to their defaults every time the computer is restarted.

If your users only connect to the server through Samba then you can utilize the "root preexec" option to run a script as root when a user connects to the share. In this script you can create the directory if it does not exist, set permissions, set quotas, etc. More applicable to your question though is that you can create the directory only if it's not for a machine account (i.e. create it if it doesn't end with an "_"). The script would look something like: #!/bin/bash USERNAME=$1 LOGFILE=/var/log/mkhomedir.log HOME_PATH=/home/MYDOMAIN echo $USERNAME | egrep -q "[^_]$" if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then # ends with _ so just exit echo "not creating directory for $USERNAME" >> $LOGFILE exit 1 fi if [ ! -d "$HOME_PATH/$USERNAME" ]; then mkdir "$HOME_PATH/$USERNAME" chown "$USERNAME" "$HOME_PATH/$USERNAME" fi When I've used this method I would modify the regular expression to only match our specific naming pattern for usernames. So for example it would be something like "[a-z]+[0-9]*" instead of "[^_]$", but this obviously varies from site to site. Also, you'd probably want to add additional error checking and logging. Remember that this runs as root so you really want to be careful with what you're doing. Once you have the script made up you can set it in smb.conf to be called when someone connects to their home directory: [homes] root preexec = /etc/samba/mkhomedir.sh '%U' The %U represents the username but if you have more than one domain you might want to use %D as well to pass the domain to the script too.

The High Availability chapter of the Samba HOWTO is a great place to start. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/SambaHA.html For reasons cited there, your best bet is an active/standby cluster configuration. With this setup you'd have two servers up and running, but only one of them would be serving files with Samba. In the event of a problem with the Samba server, the standby server would take over and begin serving the files. There are various programs that can be used to help automate the failover. It is worthwhile to note that during failover SMB connections will be lost and will have to be reestablished. With newer Windows clients the reconnection will typically occur automatically though any open files will likely be closed. The loss of connections would occur even in an active/active configuration though only half of the clients (those connected to the failing server) would be affected.

They are unable to even view the shares on the server. Another symptom of this behavior is that executing "wbinfo -r " with a user that is only a member of a single group (the primary group of the user) results in the error "Could not get groups for user ". On any user in multiple groups, this command completes successfully, showing every group the user is a member of, including the user's primary group. > If the same user is added to another group, it works fine, though. > > I have experienced this problem in 3.0.13 and 3.0.14a. I didn't try any > earlier versions. I also had this problem with 3.0.14a and upgrading to 3.0.20rc2 showed the same behavior. At quick glance, the SAMBA_3_0 SVN code appears to have the same problem also. Looking over the code, it appears that the cause of the problem is in the lookup_usergroups_alt function in winbindd_ads.c. This function only gets called when the 'tokenGroups' attribute of the AD user object does not contain any groups. According to the comments in this file, instances where 'tokenGroups' does not contain any groups indicates a "buggy Win2k server". The Active Directory domain controllers are running Windows 2000 SP4 with Active Directory in mixed mode and every user object that I checked has an empty 'tokenGroups' attribute. Instead of getting the user's group membership from the 'tokenGroups' attribute, lookup_usergroups_alt queries AD for any groups that have the user listed in their 'member' attribute. Primary groups memberships however don't appear to be contained in either the 'member' attribute of the group or the 'memberOf' attribute of the user (at least in the case of the Domain Users group). Instead, the RID of the primary group (e.g. 513 for Domain Users) is contained in the 'primaryGroupID' attribute of the user. In the lookup_usergroups_alt function, for cases where the user is not a member of any other groups other than the primary group, the query for any groups with the user as a member returns zero results. Instead of returning just the primary group, lookup_usergroups_alt instead returns no groups. Correcting the logic can easily be done by returning the primary group for this case. Patches for 3.0.14a and SAMBA_3_0 branch included. Is there something uncommon about the above attributes in AD? Do these attributes vary with the different AD versions?

I haven't taken the time to thoroughly try it out yet though. Ed -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] idmap backend with Active Directory LDAP
Everything that I have read about 'idmap backend' describes it being used with a standalone LDAP server. Is it possible though to configure Samba to store idmaps directly in an Active Directory LDAP using 'idmap backend'? This would obviously involve some schema changes to Active Directory, but other than that I can't think of any technical reasons why this would not be possible. I could be wrong is saying this though. Thanks, Ed -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
