[Samba] Porting samba setup to backup server
I must set up a backup server for failover and have used tdbbackup to create backup files from the functioning primary server. I then copied the files to the backup server and used tdbbackup to restore all the databases, along with copying the smb.conf and other text files from /etc/samba. This does not seem to work and I was hoping someone could assist. Primary server is RHEL 5.4 with Samba 3.3.8-0.52.el5_5.2, and the backup server is also RHEL 5.4 but has Samba 3.5.4-0.83.el5_7.2 (different version as used yum install samba3x months apart and different versions were installed from the RedHat repository). Thanks for any help. Ken -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
[Samba] Porting samba setup to backup server
Fixed - shutdown smb, nmb and winbind; then removed erroneous secrets.tdb as well as the passdb.tdb in privates; restarted smb which re-created secrets.tdb, then shutdown smb, ran tdbbackup -v to restore the passdb.tdb and restarted smb, nmb and winbind. All good with slightly re-configured smb.conf to avoid name confusion.

[Samba] Share access on new server
I am new to the Samba world and need to port the Samba setup from an old server running BEL Server (RedHat under the hood) with Samba 3.0.25 to a RedHat EL 5.2 server with Samba 3.0.28, but some of the share access is not working. After copying over the smb.conf file I ran testparm and had issues with the oplocks so I commented out the entries referring to oplocks (also the docs indicated that modifiying the lock settings should not be necessary). After starting the smbd/nmbd the server shows up in the network browser along with the workstations and old Samba server (I changed the name in the new server smb.conf file so they could both be accessed) and the users can access their home shares but not the secondary shares. The secondary shares have entries such as: user = @groupname where the group names are valid linux groups on both the old and new servers. There does not appear to be a domain server in use - users login in with simple name and password on the PC's. The old linux server used the smbpasswd backend so I just ported it rather than try to modify before I get the shares working. The error messages we get are as follows: From 2000 PC The network name cannot be found From XP PC The network path was not found Both systems tested can ping the server with the hostname. I just tested another PC used for some mail hosting programs and it can access all the shares but is logged in as Administrator so is using the root user mapping to access all. The output from the testparm command is as follows: [global] workgroup = SILON map to guest = Bad User log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap cache time = 60 printcap name = cups dns proxy = No idmap uid = 1-10500 idmap gid = 10501-10999 path = /home/administrator/SHARES username = @staff write list = @staff [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes use client driver = Yes browseable = No [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/printers write list = @adm, root inherit permissions = Yes guest ok = Yes [pdf-gen] comment = PDF Generator (only valid users) path = /var/tmp printable = Yes printing = bsd print command = /usr/share/samba/scripts/print-pdf %s %H //%L/%u %m %I %J lpq command = /bin/true lprm command = lprm -P'%p' %j [install] path = /home/administrator/SHARES/install [general] path = /home/administrator/SHARES/general create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 [lab_data] path = /home/administrator/SHARES/lab_data username = valid users = @lab-staff, samplonius write list = @lab-staff read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 [backup] path = /home/administrator/SHARES/backup username = @secure_staff write list = @secure_staff [acct] comment = Accounting Share path = /home/administrator/SHARES/acct valid users = @secure_staff read list = @secure_staff write list = @secure_staff [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# Any help would be appreciated.
