RE: [Samba] Move Samba to another server
At the moment, I am using simple passwd for local users, but I intend to set up LDAP on the 'new server'. However, due to the number of users (10), it might be simpler to re-create the entire organisation from the ground up. With a single auth system, it might be easier to manage samba, pop3-ssl (different server), pop3 (another server) and other services. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Andrew Bartlett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: dinsdag 23 augustus 2005 12:35 Aan: Kit Gerrits CC: 'Kit Gerrits'; samba@lists.samba.org Onderwerp: RE: [Samba] Move Samba to another server On Tue, 2005-08-23 at 12:16 +0200, Kit Gerrits wrote: Thanks for the reply!

RE: [Samba] Make Samba 3.0.4 PDC server as Windows update server
Just one little trick that might provide a piece of the puzzle: There is a Windows tool, called hfnetchk (should be in the resource kit), that checks the system for installed patches. NoteMS03-030819696 Warning MS04-011835732 PATCH NOT FOUND MS99-99 99 Note means that there is new information on the patch Warning (usually) means that the patch has been re-released You can guess what PATCH NOT FOUND means... After the message comes the patch number and the associated MS Q-number Filtering can be done with the NT command find (replacement for grep) Ex: @echo off echo running update check... hfnetchk.exe exchange.log type exchange.log | find Patch NOT Found note.log for /F tokens=3 delims= %a in (note.log) DO @echo %a /Ex An administrator would have to keep all patches in a repository.

RE: [Samba] Does Admin Users = accept groups?
As I recall, there are 2 things to bear in mind: 1/ Samba 3.0 has dropped the admin users= setting. There is only one true domain administrator: root. 2/ Also, Samba now uses NT Groups the way it is supposed to, with SID and all. More info can be found by looking up the 'net groupmap' command. If you map the default NT group Domain Administrators, you can do admin users the official way. Also, you'll notice that the number of errors about groups in the samba log falls considerably ;-) Good luck!

RE: [Samba] Problem with symlinks
This is because of the behavious of certain Office Applications (excel is especially guilty) It will notice that fact that another user owns the file. To rectify this, it will delete the file and re-write it. Because, in this case, you are using a symlink, you are deleting the symlink (the original file stays where it is) and saving the _new file_ the same place you had the symlink. Unfortunately, the only solution can think of is making a symlink to the directory the file is in, so the file itself can me _replaced_ If you use group shares, you will also notice, that windows grants only 700 rights (full user, but no group or world rights). This can be rectified in the smb.conf with the force create mask and force group mask settings. Also, keep in mind, that the DOS Hidden, system and read-only attributes are stored as unix _executable_ fags in the files. If you don't include these flags in your file mask, they will be stripped off.

RE: [Samba] Modify but not create permissions
I'm not sure if someone answered this already, but NFS incorporates _no security_ whatsoever, so any file you open on the remote server is opened with _root_ permissions, if I recall correctly. That means that, is you require no special authentication on Samba-level, there is no protection at file-level, either. Perhaps you should look into the Valid users Statement Good luck! -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Bill Chmura [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: woensdag 16 juni 2004 9:34 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Re: [Samba] Modify but not create permissions So I figured out what the problem was... the local machine did not have my user with the same UID as the server... This is strange for a few reasons... In my fstab file I had always specified the UID and GID to connect as... Which had always worked. Now if it was an outright wrong thing, why did it let me create and stuff in the top of the share... but not in subdirectories. Is this a bug? I installed NFS earlier tonight to share between linux boxes. I still need samba for a few windows boxes so I have that working anyway.

Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ? Other solutions ?

Re: [Samba] File already in use?
Do you, by chance run a virus scanner and Win2000 or WinXP? Windows 2000 and XP have a tendency to examine files in a directory when you open an Explorer window. This triggers the virus scanner, which, in turn, opens the file and keeps it locked until it has finished scanning the file. I have no experience with Linux virus scanners (I still scan on user-side only), but the same problem could apply on the Linux side. I hope this helps.
