[Samba] Can Samba be installed on Windows 2000

2005-06-19 Thread James Briar

Hello, 
Can Samba be installed on a Windows 2000 machine (then create a share) so
that on the Unix side you can mount the share thats been created (the
opposite of installing Samba on Unix and then mapping a drive on a Windows
2000 machine to a Unix share)?

I don't need to do this, i was just wondering.

[Samba] Samba share query

2005-06-14 Thread James Briar

Hello Dominic, thanks for your reply, I've now got a good fix for my problem
(after hours of trial and error). I coded the following in my smb.conf file
:-

[global]
...
hosts allow =

oplocks = Yes

security = share

[ts]

comment = Tech support directory

path = /information

guest ok = yes

guest only = yes

browsable = no

read only = yes

force user = %U   

I created a Unix user with the same name as my network login as well as
creating the user in the smbpasswd file.  I can now map a drive to the ts
share without being prompted for a password, if another network user tries
to map a drive to the share and they have not been created as a Unix/Samba
user they get an error. This is just what i want. If i've only got say Samba
users user1, user2 and user3 set up on the Unix side then only these can map
a drive without being prompted for a password. I set browsable = no just for
extra security.

[Samba] Samba share query

2005-06-12 Thread James Briar

Hello,
I've coded the following in our smb.conf file (security = share coded in the
[global] section) and this works fine where users can access the share
without a password :-

[ts]

comment = Tech support directory

path = /information

guest only = Yes

guest ok = Yes

guest account = nobody

writable = no

browsable = no 

Is it possible somehow to restrict access to this share to say three users
only (say tom, dick and harry) but still allowing the three users to logon
without a password being prompted for? The above share works fine but i
don't want everyone to access it,  say just three certain users.

I'm running Samba versions  3.0.14a and 2.0.5.a  both on Sun Solaris8 Unix
systems.  

Thanks.

[Samba] Windows users that have a space character

2005-02-14 Thread James Briar

Hello, Our site has implemented network login user ID's that now include a
space, for example "fred smith".  Can Samba support this? Our current Samba
release is 2.0.5a but doesn't seem to like users with a space character?

Thanks.

[Samba] Password query

2002-12-06 Thread James Briar

Hello,
I'm getting a password error when i do CTRL/ALT and DELETE on my PC, select
Change Password and enter my network id, the samba domain and the old/new
passwords. The error is "Unable to change the password on this account
(c0BE). Please consult your system administrator.". I was able to change
my samba password a short while ago but for some reason i'm getting this
error. We've installed samba on a Sun solaris unix box (Solaris 8) and the
samba version is 2.0.5a. I can change my network login password ok by
selecting the domain that controls the NT users and passwords. Not sure if
this error is something to do with samba on the unix server or something to
do with the NT side of things. On the unix side there's nothing shown in the
two samba logs (log.nmb and log.smb). Also nothing has changed on samba
since it last worked.

[Samba] Synchronising NT, unix and Samba passwords

2002-11-05 Thread James Briar

Our Samba is working perfect except that when a users NT password expires
and the user changes it they can't access the share anymore from Windows NT
explorer. At the moment i have to log on to our unix system and change the
unix and samba passwords manually to match the new NT password. I've been
looking through all the websites on Samba but nothing has helped. I've done
all sorts of amendments to the smb.conf file (including setting encrypt
passwords = yes, security = user and update encryted = yes). Should the unix
and samba passwords be automatically updated or i'm i trying to do something
that you can't do.
We're using NT4 and Unix (Sun Solaris 8). The Samba version is 2.0.5a. I'm
implementing a way around this by allowing the users to log into the unix
system to change their Unix/Samba passwords. I've amended their .profile to
include commands "passwd" and "/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd" (and "exit"
to log them out after).

[Samba] Looking for samba software

2002-05-07 Thread James Briar


I'd like to install Samba on A Solaris 5.8 (Sparc) unix platform but can't
find any download for this. All i can find on the websites are downloads for
earlier versions of Solaris (2.5 to 2.8 etc). I've seen a file called
samba-latest.tar.gz but not sure if this is ok.
