[Samba] RE: Microsoft hotfix MS04-011, breaks Samba password change.

2004-05-04 Thread Javid Abdul-AJAVID1
Thanks Jeremy

We are still using samba-2.2.8a and very happy with so far.

I asked this before in general list but didn't get response, may be you guys when get 
a chance response


With samba-3.0, how would I join domain, if I don't have windows domain rights.

Till now, I used ./smbpasswd -j  -r  as unix root ( after creating domain 
machine acct in winodws domain)

With Samba-3.0 , net join command I need to have windowns domain password ( I don't 
have access windows domain)

So I as unix root if don't have windows domain admiinistrator password can not use 
samba-3.0?

Really appreciate the response.

Hi all,

I wanted to give an update on this as I know this MS Hotfix
is critical and must be applied to protect against the (latest) Microsoft worm.

I think I've found the problem in the code, and am currently testing a fix for this 
(not in the release to others to test stage yet). As soon as I'm reasonably confident 
I'll put a patch out there for others to test, and we'll probably do a new stable 
release to ensure this is fixed in the current codebase.

Once we know how complex the fix is I'll look at adding it into the 2.2.x codebase and 
maybe releasing a 2.2.9 for all the people who are satisfied with Samba 2.2.8a and 
don't want to move to 3.0.x yet.

I'm also very unhappy with Microsoft for releasing improperly tested hotfixes, but 
that's another story I'll probably be taking up with the Technical Comittee overseeing 
the DoJ Microsoft settlement and the EU as well.

Cheers,

Jeremy.

[Samba] samba proceses - question

2003-08-04 Thread Javid Abdul-AJAVID1
Hi 
 
I noticed mulitiple samba procceses when i run smbstatus. ( samba 2.2.8a on solaris , 
clients win2k )
 
pids  are different sometimes for the same uid ( with root pid being same), machine 
name is same again ( the client )
 
my understanding is, there should be one root process for smbd and then all user 
mappings are spawned process from the root, and irrespective how many shares a user is 
mapped from win2k clients, there should be one smbd process for each unix id. 
 
In my case this is not what am observing. I notice multiple user ids ( smbstatus) for 
same pid, and some times diff pid for same uid.
 
Also i noticed lot of times some proceses are owned by 'root' while some by unix user 
id?

is this normal.
 
Thanks in advance for replies.

Wondering y some smbd client connections show up as userid though parent is

Is there a way to know when a client connection from windows side will shoup

Do I need to recompile a second copy of samba, using /usr/local/samba2 as

Not entirely true.

You can't do it with encrypted passwords easily.


We currently run an encrypted password Samba server on our conventional
NIS master machine.  A little bit of scripting keeps the passwords in
sync, and a bit more keeps account creations and deletions in sync
too.  So, the users have one password, which is stored in both NIS and SMB
password files.


We also run at least one Samba server with 'update encrypted = yes'.
This requires plain-text capable clients, but allows us to capture the
user's (NIS) password into SMB encrypted format.


I've (roughly) written this up at:-

http://www.nibsc.ac.uk/~dmccann/smb/


(The write-up doesn't mention the 'update encrypted' server, but that's
only relevant to people migrating from NIS only to NIS and SMB. If
you're starting NIS and SMB from scratch, it doesn't matter).

Hello Guys,
  I am having some problems with configuring SAMBA with regards to
performance. We are running SAMBA 2.2.3a on Dual PIII 1Ghz machines with
512MB of RAM. The server is running on a default server installation of Red
Hat 7.2. We have a 500Gb RAID 5 drive using the Promise SX6000 Raid
controller.
  Currently we are only getting a throughput of ~5MB/S for writes and
~13MB/S for reads. Comparing that to NFS which yealds ~15MB/S for reads and
~13MB/S for writes. This clearly rules out the Hardware bottleneck since XFS
is able to perform better on the same hardware. Here is the smb.conf I am
using currently

===SMB.CONF===
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
netbios name = {HOSTNAME}
wins server = {WINSSERVER}
server string = {HOSTNAME}
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
oplocks = No
level2 oplocks = No

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No

[Data]
comment = Data Backup Directory
path = /home/gm/data
guest account = 
valid users = spirian
read only = No

I was wondering if there is any documentation for fine tuning SAMBA. Any
help is appreciated. Thanks.

Subject: [Samba] Samba - Performance Issues


Hello Guys,
  I am having some problems with configuring SAMBA with regards to
performance. We are running SAMBA 2.2.3a on Dual PIII 1Ghz machines with
512MB of RAM. The server is running on a default server installation of Red
Hat 7.2. We have a 500Gb RAID 5 drive using the Promise SX6000 Raid
controller.
  Currently we are only getting a throughput of ~5MB/S for writes and
~13MB/S for reads. Comparing that to NFS which yealds ~15MB/S for reads and
~13MB/S for writes. This clearly rules out the Hardware bottleneck since XFS
is able to perform better on the same hardware. Here is the smb.conf I am
using currently

===SMB.CONF===
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
netbios name = {HOSTNAME}
wins server = {WINSSERVER}
server string = {HOSTNAME}
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
oplocks = No
level2 oplocks = No

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No

[Data]
comment = Data Backup Directory
path = /home/gm/data
guest account = 
valid users = spirian
read only = No
==

I was wondering if there is any documentation for fine tuning SAMBA. Any
help is appreciated. Thanks.

yes, secuirty=server is not a good option, it keeps your auth connection
even after auth is done, so thats the reason prob after a while password

you should monitor your windows password server as to what it is doing

the interesting part of the transactionis higher in the log i think
security=SERVER is tried first then 
falls through to smbpasswd if there is some problem.
all I'm seeing is the part after falling through to smbpasswd (which
does not exist in your case)

Greetings, 

This is my first post (hopefully not too newbie for this group).  Thank you
in advance to anyone who feels compelled to help.  I'm trying to get a copy
of Samba 2.2.2 running on Solaris 9 to authenticate against an NT domain.  I
have successfully done this on a Redhat 7.2 box which is running Samba 2.2.4
on the same domain.  As best as I can tell, the configurations of these
sambas seem the same but something must be wrong.  I can successfully add
the box to the domain and access it fine using 'share' authentication but
when I try to use 'domain' authentication, I get "Incorrect password or
unknown username" and the following is generated in log.smbd

RE: [Samba] Samba versus Dreamweaver

Hi Keller, Barry

I am getting the same error even though i tried these settings.
The strange thing is am getting the error ,but the file is getting written
to unix share from windows
but i was wondering why the mysterious error, 

am getting the error but lock file , i have manually clear on windows side, 

originally its supposed to save file on windows side and put a lock on it,
and when i check in back on unix side it should write back and clear the
lock on windows


Now i am getting error, but able to write the file on unix side , but have
to manually clear the lock


thanks in advance for your input

Good advice.

You may also need:

dos filetimes = yes
dos filetime resolution = yes
dos filemode = yes
fake directory create times = yes
create mask = 0112
force directory mode = 0775
inherit permissions = Yes

In your SAMBA config.

We do just what you do, SAMBA shares for groups of web authors. 
The authors belong to one of about 300 groups, the directories are set owned

by root, group writable by one of these groups and not world accessible at 
all. The group sticky bit is set and a Solaris ACL is added to allow the
user 
the web server runs as to have read access. 

All seems to run quite nicely. Even from Macs that run DAVE.

and login again and again ( laptops )

their registry for authentication is 

hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\LSA is set to 1 ( user NTLMv2 session
security if negotied )

same thing on desktops has no issues.

same users when mapped to samba-2.2.4 has no problems 

samba is in domain mode. ( a account DC is serving client authenticatins )

samba server is member of resource domain.

NO.  Support for NTMv2 is only in HEAD.

This isn't 'negotiated', the client just sends what it likes.  

Samba HEAD has a multiphase generic security negotiation setup using
extended security (SPNEGO), but I'm not about to explain how that works
tonight :-)

I've been using RAV for some time now and couldn't be more pleased with it.
Virus definition updates can be 100% automated with a CRON job.  I have mine
set to do incremental updates every 30 minutes.  The other thing that I like
about RAV is that it is very easy to set up the mail server version to scan
shares on your samba network.  $300US is well worth the money for the
excellent product.

RE: [Samba] User Authenication

2002-06-11 Thread Javid Abdul-AJAVID1

yes it is required for write access
if you want just read access , you could add guest account option in conf
file.

other than that you need to have valid unix account to access the unix
share.

Others: Correct me if am wrong here :--)

Subject: [Samba] User Authenication


I have Samba running on a couple of IBM RS/6000 servers running AIX 4.3.3. I
have Samba configured to do user authenication to the primary domain
controller. The only way that users are able to map to the share is if they
have a userid  on the unix server. I thought that as long as a user is
authenicated at the PDC an account on the unix server would not be
necessary. Is an account on the unix server a requirement of Samba and I
just missed it in the documentation? If this is not a requirement what
options do I need to set? 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Uhm... I have guessed so It seems that Microsoft will release the
use of its patents about SMB and CIFS protocols only to companies that
won't use GPL/LGPL licenses to interoperate with Win2000 and WinXP.
I hope, I'm wrong.....

"The Microsoft license specifically excludes software under the General
