Re: [Samba] Reduntant Samba servers?
Am Mittwoch, 19. April 2006 15:25 schrieb Linus Hedström: I am trying to setup two redundant Samba Servers. The file shares are on both servers and needs to be synced. My best solution is to run an rsync between them every 5 min ? Are there any smarter solution to this? Another problem is how I could solve the kerberos authentication in the best possible way? We have a Windows AD server and authenticate through kerberos. If server1 is down I want to switch to server2 but use the same DNS / Computer name because all users have it mapped. It also saves the profiles. I have tried to set up a DNS alias on the AD server's DNS and my idea was that I just could switch the alias to the server I want to use. But that doesn't work because it is the alias name that tries to authenticate to kerberos and I then get: Server not found in Kerberos database on the kerberos server. I hope someone has a smart solution to this? drbd and carp. that should imho even work with kerberos. not sure, though :) HTH, Jonas Jochum archIT - Faculty of Architecture - University of Karlsruhe pgpIEF63C3mAE.pgp Description: PGP signature -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Homes on different server...
Am Friday 11 November 2005 15:15 schrieb Olivier Houde: Hi list is there any way to specify on wich server a user's home is ? Let me explain myself... I have a Samba3 PDC here at the head office using LDAP as an authentication backend. We have offices in other cities and we would like them to be on the same domain. All those offices are linked using VPNs. I have no problem to configure LDAP and Samba to work together. The problem is that i want all those offices to be completely independant in case the VPN link goes down. For that, i need to split all my user's home between the BDCs and the PDC (depending in wich office the user is working), if want the users to still have an access to their home and profiles. I have an LDAP master here and a LDAP slave in each office. How can i tell samba that depending on the user, its home is on a different server ? Can i use LDAP for that ? If it's possible, how can i do that ? Should i use an other solution ? Trusted domain instead ? Thanks Olivier Houde Have a look at the LDAP attributes sambaHomePath and sambaProfilePath.

[Samba] 3.0.20b seems to ignore ldap user suffix
Excerpts from smb.conf: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=arch,dc=uni-karlsruhe,dc=de ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap machine suffix = ou=computer ldap suffix = o=archipool,dc=arch,dc=uni-karlsruhe,dc=de ldap ssl = no ldap user suffix = ou=aktiv,ou=Accounts The system wide ldap suffix is a different one (ou=accounts,o=archipool,dc=arch,dc=uni-karlsruhe,dc=de). Samba, however, should only search for users in the specified user suffix, since not all system users are supposed to be able to use samba. slapd.log: Oct 28 12:17:30 far-poolserver64 slapd[9499]: SRCH o=archipool,dc=arch,dc=uni-karlsruhe,dc=de 2 3 [debug output snipped] Oct 28 12:17:30 far-poolserver64 slapd[9499]: filter: ((uid=dummy) (objectClass=sambaSamAccount)) Should I file a bug report, does anybody spot a config error or is more info needed?

Am Friday 28 October 2005 16:00 schrieb Craig White: does this match what is in padl's ldap.conf ? Do you mean pam_ldap.conf? No, it doesn't: base ou=aktiv,ou=accounts,o=archipool,dc=arch,dc=uni-karlsruhe,dc=de libnss-ldap.conf uses base o=archipool,dc=arch,dc=uni-karlsruhe,dc=de The reason for this is that we're temporarily moving disabled accounts to ou=inakt,ou=accounts,o=archipool,dc=arch,dc=uni-karlsruhe,dc=de. Due to samba using the wrong search base, they're still able to log in (don't tell me to use sambaAcctFlags - I know they can be used for accomplishing the same thing).
