[Samba] all names point to the same machine
[using a samba-2.999+3.0.alpha21-3 PDC on debian sid] A new and interesting problem: all our windows machines now point to the PDC when trying to browse a share on any machine: \\anyname points to \\PDC I checked that dns proxy = no (our wildcard dns entry points to the PDC) to no avail. Howver if entering an ip address in \\my.ip.ad.res it works, so it seems to be a name resolution problem. Thanks in advance for any help, I've been trying everything on this one and write to the list in dispair :) Cheers, -- HIPPOLYTE: Tu sais combien mon âme, attentive à ta voix, S'échauffait au récit de ses nobles exploits, (Phèdre, J-B Racine, acte 1, scène 1) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: upgrade to 3.0alpha20: accented chars in filenames unreadable

If the user has chosen to not allow automatic management of smb.conf, any character set and client code page values in smb.conf will need to be converted by hand to the new unix charset and dos charset values. If the user previously had these settings in smb.conf, and they were converted but accents are still broken, please let me know. (Preferably, a bug would be filed with the Debian BTS.) But the problem occurs if smb.conf: - is not managed by debconf, - does not contain any character setting, Which is probably a very common situation among samba admins using debian. There should be a big warning during installation if these two condtions are met, suggesting that unix charset should be used if filenames contain accented chars. -- HIPPOLYTE: N'osez-vous confier ce secret à ma foi ?

In a hurry I used unix charset = CP850 http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/smb-ldap-3-howto.html#internationalization this solved our problems (redhat 7.2; samba-3.0a20) for example in the profile load on the spanish xp (ie Star menu--menú Inicio). Thanks for sharing this. It certainly is an excellent stopgap measure, until proper filename conversion can be done. The best way, if possible, would be to retain backward compatibility for reading samba-2.2.x filenames (as with unix charset) while having new or modified files written in unicode (or whatever the default in samba-3.x). BTW: keep up the great job on your smb-ldap howto, it is a precious ressource.

[Samba] upgrade to 3.0alpha20: accented chars in filenames unreadable
Upon upgrading from 2.2.5 to 3.0alpha20 on Debian unstable, filenames with accented characters (ie: éàî etc.) became unreadable. For example in W2K a filename previously called résumé.xls became r when looking at the samba share; and the filename is impossible to modify from windows: samba log says file not found. From the shell the file looks like r?sum?.xls but the ? are actually 0x83. Now, the file contents are intact and if modified from the unix command line to non-accented they become accessible again from windows. FWIW I used the following command to sanitize all filenames: % rename -v 's/\x8c/i/g;s/[\x83\x8a\x82]/e/g' **/* I know I'm using an alpha samba and unstable debian, but still I'd like to understand what happened, if possible.

[Samba] where did the NAT tool go? (smb network testing/scanning)
Hi, In the samba debian package there used to be a very convenient utility to scan networks for open samba shares and weak passwords. Its name AFAIR is nat. Where can one find this tool? Is it still maintained? Is there a better alternative? Thanks, -- THERAMENE: Il veut les rappeler, et sa voix les effraie ; Ils courent. Tout son corps n'est bientôt qu'une plaie.

[Samba] can't add Domain Users group to local Power Users group
Hi, If I need some Domain Users to have local Power Users privileges what is the best way? - convert the local Power Users group to a domain group on the PDC with smbgroupedit -c... -td Not really knowing the consequence of that change I refrained from doing it. It seems (from searching on Google) that Power Users is only a local group; would that simple step solve my problem? - add the Domain Users group to the local Power Users group on each client: this seems the recommended practice, however it doesn't work. When trying I get a msgbox with: Information returned from the object picker for objet 'Domain Users' was incomplete. The object will no be processed. On the PDC log.smbd displays an ominous message: [2002/10/13 18:10:27, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_user(431) ldapsam_search_one_user: searching for:[((uid=Domain Users)(objectclass=samba Account))] [2002/10/13 18:10:27, 2] rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:access_check_samr_object(94) _samr_open_group: ACCESS DENIED (requested: 0x004e) This is on debian unstable with samba 3.0 alpha and ldapsam.

Use either ldapsam_nua as the passdb backend, or use an add machine script to add a 'unix' account for the machine. getpwnam(machinename$) must function by the time the add to the domain is attempted, or if you use the _nua hack, it will try to do without - see the doco on this one. Thanks, the add machine script directive works fine. Before I switched to ldapsam from unixsam the add user script did create unix account for machines joining the domain. So apparently add machine script is either a new item or is required when using ldapsam.
