What can I do to solve this? thanks, I think the basic idea is to recognize that computer software is written by humans and will contain errors. The source of the errors is not always obvious. Therefore system administrators live by the rule "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" The question is, what features do you need in your set up? Normally, a Linux distribution ships with an integrated set of software that is believed to be stable and to work together. You will get bug fixes and security updates for that distribution. You install more recent versions of software at your peril. On a production server, you should only do this if you need a feature that is not working in the version shipped with your distribution (whether it is not there or simply not working properly). You have installed 3.0.23c, which is very recent. Nmbd is crashing probably because it doesn't work quite right with other software on your system. Unless you really need something that 3.0.23c provides, I would advise you to downgrade to the version that shipped with your distribution. If you do need to run 3.0.23c, or if that is the version that shipped with your distribution, try setting the log level to 10 in smb.conf and see what results you get. Also, check the other logs to see if there some evidence of a problem. I'm using debian distro as operating system. Before I start to have this problem, I haved samba 3.0.14 install from debian distro. Everything working for almost 1 year. But I needed to change hardware and I reinstalled my server with the same version. The problems start at this time. I tried a lot of things to solve this problems, the last one was upgrade samba. I tried to set log to level 10 and more but I can see any thing. The only conclusion of my debug is when some one try to access to AD server trhought samba, nmbd stop respond. But it don't stop at the first connect. It's ramdom!! Very strange. I'm not sure if problem is in samba server or in AD. I need to use AD server because I have some aplication who need to be install on windows. Could be a bug on samba, a virus, one of the aplication I use in AD? I don't know...

[Samba] dfree command and quotas
Hi!
I am trying to tune my samba server in what regards reporting the free space
for each share. I use a filesystem with quotas, kernel 2.4.21 in a Debian
linux box with samba 3.0.0beta1-2.
I usually get the quota information through the command:
# quota some_user
Disk quotas for user some_user (uid userID):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit
grace
/dev/hda2 30284108 3100 3100 61701 0 0
In my smb.conf i added the "dfree command = /home/samba/scripts/dfree.pl %U",
so each time the free space information is requested from the smb clients the
command is run.
The dfree.pl is a perl script, wich consists of:
/*begin of perl script */
#!/usr/bin/perl
open(LOG,">>/tmp/df_usage.log"); # create a log file
$com = "quota ".$ARGV[0];
open (PIPE, $com." |");
while () {
# $_ = " /dev/hda2 30284108 3100 310061752 0 0"
if (($device, $used, $quota, $limit, $quotaInodes, $limitIndodes) =
m/[ ]+([a-z0-9\/]+)[ ]+([0-9]+)[ ]+([0-9]+)[ ]+([0-9]+)[ ]+([0-9]+)[
]+([0-9]+)[ ]+([0-9]+)/) {
print $used." ".($quota-$used)."\n";
}
print LOG "I am " . $ENV{USER} . "\n" . $_; # write the real result of
quota to the log file plus the USER env var
}
close(PIPE);
close(LOG);
/*end of perl script */
In the some_user case above the perl script when run from a common shell
returns:
# ./dfree.pl some_user
30284108 715892
Wich is the used space and the available space until quota is exceeded.
Altough the dfree.pl script returns uota information for some_user in a common
shell i get:
/* begin /tmp/df_usage.log */
I am root
Disk quotas for user some_user (uid ): none
I am root
Disk quotas for user some_user (uid ): none
I am root
Disk quotas for user some_user (uid ): none
I am root
Disk quotas for user some_user (uid ): none
...
/* end /tmp/df_usage.log */
... in the log file when the command is run by samba.
Is there any issue regarding shell scripts executed from the "dfree command" ?
Is there any other "less ridiculous" way of getting the wanted result ?
Thanks in advance,
Keep up the good work,
LL

RE: [Samba] Samba authentication
Thanks Steve for your time. I'm trying to do everything by hand and without any GUI or wizards, so that I really learn how things work, so I'm having a little more work (specially because I just started using linux this week) but I think that with time it will be better this way. My idea for now is to have a Linux server integrated into a W2K domain, and providing that domain users with files. I have the users in the domain grouped in several groups. Isn't there any way that I, on the linux machine, "share" folders for a certain group and every user that is created in W2K and added to that group has access to that folder. My problem is that my first production deployment of samba is in a network of 100+ users with some rotativity (lots of users gone, and new come in). I really don't want to have to create each user twice. Can anyone tell me a way to implement this kind of slution?

It is best to use "user" security instead of "domain" with password synchronization between samba and unix enabled. Any users created in unix will be added to samba. If this becomes an issue (too many users, two systems to maintain), you may want to consider mapping bad usernames to guest, setting the guest user up as a generic user in unix, then allowing guest access to the share. This pretty much opens the share up to everyone, something you may wisn to avoid. This is usually done when deploying Samba as a print server. It avoids administrative overhead. You can also use winbind to synchronize samba permissions with a NT domain. This is beyond me, someone else could step up to help you there. Another thing to consider - the samba user needs to have permissions to access the unix directory. Samba permissions and unix permissions are two distinct issues. You could share a directory in samba that nobody can read, let alone write to from Windows. The individual users need to have access, or better yet the group to which they belong. Conversely, if you map to guest, make certain the guest user has rights to the unix directory. You may want to download Webmin (www.webmin.com). It gives you a nice web-based interface to manage everything.

I can already ping the linux machine from a windows machine by its NetBIOS name. But when I try to do \\linux (thats the machine name) it asks me for username and password Here goes my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = NS netbios name = Linux server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.69. 127. interfaces = 192.168.69.110/24 log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 security = domain password server = * encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY os level = 255 wins support = no dns support = no Do I have to create users locally, or say that specific users from the domain can access the server? I haven't created any share yet, might that be a problem too? Thanks in advance...
