[Samba] Can you use winbind and be a PDC at the same time?
Here is the scenario I would like to integrated samba into my old NT 4.0 domain, but at the same time I would like to create a new Samba Domain to migrate everybody too eventually. I have 100 new machines to install this summer and would like to add them to the new samba domain instead of the NT 4.0 domain. The reason I do not want to move everybody at once to Samba Domain is I have 300 W2K & XP machines that I have to recreate machine accounts, so I would have to manually go to every machine to change there domain to the samba domain. Also, I would like to test this out for a while to make sure Samba meets our needs. Which I pretty confident it will, but I will admit Linux and Samba is not my strong points, but I am getting better everyday! Plus, the cautious approach will allow me to win senior management approval. Is it possible use Winbind to make Samba Server a member of NT Domain, but be Samba PDC for a different domain? It will probably not work, but I am not a Samba expert, so I thought I get some input from this list with a lot more experience;-) Thanks for your help\ -Glenn -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Setting up Pointing and Click Printing through APW on Win2kMachine
First off I have read the SAMBA 2.2 printer documetation and Samba Printing Documentation for 3.0. And searched the Internet through Google and did not come up with much. Maybe it is how I am doing search I don't know. I had some success using CUPS for Point and Click printing using cupaddsmb command. I could get the print drivers to download on W2K and XP. But, I could not get the the Adobe Drivers to download to my Win9x machines. When I tried to download the print drivers through APW to the Samba server you would see the drivers copy to the server, but when you click OK I get the message Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied. Here is the rights on my printer directory. drwxrwxrwx 37 root root 4096 Jul 1 20:12 Apps drwx--2 root root16384 Jun 22 10:44 lost+found drwxrwxrwx3 root root 4096 Jun 24 17:12 netlogon drwxrwxrwx4 root root 4096 Jun 27 18:49 printers Here is the rights for the directories under printers drwxrwxrwt5 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:58 w32x86 drwxrwxrwx3 root garnold 4096 Jul 2 19:31 win40 Here is rights for the directories under w32x86-- Notice __SKIP_0184 drwxrwxrwt2 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:20 2 drwxrwxrwt2 root root 4096 Jul 2 16:17 3 drwxrwxrwx2 root root 4096 Jul 2 19:58 __SKIP_0184 Also through W2K APW I tried to add printers that are not setup on the Red 9.0 linux box and created them trough APW I get the error message "Printer settings could not be saved. Access is denied." I also noticed that this weird directory would pop-up in my printers directory it is named __SKIP_0184. When adding the printer fails I click cancel and it disappears. I truly believe it is rights issue I just do not know where to look. My background is in NT, so I just begun to start learning Linux and using for server applications. I have been real happy with Linux and Samba just stuck on this printer problem. Also, I need some help with the addprinter command and delprinter command. What goes after the command? Most examples I see are addprinter command is like this "addprinter = " I know there is more to that command than this just blank. Would some give me a good example of addprinter and delprinter command that works on Red Hat 9. Here is my smb.conf file.
