[Samba] samba + ldap malfunction
hello, everybody after migrating the cfg file from samba version 3.2.5 to 3.5.6 mounting the share and browsing its directories takes a very long time (at least for the root folder and for the first time, after that it kind of stabilizes and works ok, file transfer speed is as it should be, though from time to time it is lagging) the only thing that caught my eye was a start tls error in the logs: ## Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Connect error ## I tried to disable tls when talking to ldap with ## ldap ssl = off ## but in this case I cannot access the shares anymore the log and testparm output - http://pastebin.com/xpaSTW7e if there are any ldap settings needed to troubleshoot this, I can make them available except implementing ssl, is there another option to make this work ? in the old setup it was running ok thanks for your time, petre -- Petre Bandac Network Scientist - pe...@kgb.ro -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] samba replacing novell
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have found a workaround by installing a terminal server and having the app work within the lan - browsing the database is ok, only when printing to the local printer it takes about 30-40 sec however, I would like to find out what is the cause for this behaviour as shown by testparm, wins is enabled I will try to enter the machine in /etc/hosts and see if I get some improvement Moray Henderson wrote: > Petre Bandac wrote: >> - - when ran from a remote location (connected via openvpn), the app > takes >> a very long time to open, and when searching for records it takes more >> than 2-3 minutes to display the results of the query (even though other >> tests have shown the connectivity is ok and file transfer is as fast as >> the line allows) - this happens even if this workstation is the only > one >> accesing the fileserver > > Is name resolution working properly?

[Samba] samba replacing novell
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 hallo I have decomissioned an old novell netware serving as fileserver for a foxpro app with a samba virtual freebsd machine under vmware esxi all works ok (time of response when browsing folders, throughput at speed tests, etc), except the following foxpro related issues which I could not solve in the last week: - - when ran from LAN, the app randomly freezes from time to time - - when ran from a remote location (connected via openvpn), the app takes a very long time to open, and when searching for records it takes more than 2-3 minutes to display the results of the query (even though other tests have shown the connectivity is ok and file transfer is as fast as the line allows) - this happens even if this workstation is the only one accesing the fileserver this behavior appeared only after switching from novell to samba the question which would summarize this situation would be "what exactly did the novell netware for the foxpro app which samba does/cannot do?"

[Samba] samba pdc & ldap vs mysql
hallo I have a task to reorganize the network resources of a medium company (~150 computers, 80% windows) which in the current state is very chaotic I was thinking of a system where the users are stored in a single place, from where applications like mail (postfix), squid and even a domain controller can retrieve information from your past experience, which does a better job - ldap or users stored in a mysql database ? I would appreciate your feedback or some links (I already have googled around and found several sources from where I am reading right now) I would like to have the same user/password for at least mail & domain logon thank you for your time, petre -- Petre Bandac Network Scientist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
