Re: [Samba] ACL from win2k doesn't work

I've followed some basic howto on the net, users can see shares and can save, modify and delete files and folders. My big problem is the security tab: i can't add any user because the screen where i can see users list ask me for a password. With an admin user and password (the same that i use to log into share) it tells something like "credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials" If I don't insert user and password it tells "access denied". Also I can't modify existing acl. Logs are with debug level = 3 but no error is present. Thanks I'm not an expert, so someone may have to correct me. I'm fairly certain that if you expect a client to modify the acl of files on the server, said client will need access to the users on that server, and the only way a client can get a list of users from a server is to be a member of that server's domain. If you want to keep your network domain free, you will have to modify permissions on the server, not from the Windows client. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] Prevent drag and drop within Samba shares
Alex de Vaal wrote: Hello, Is there a parameter in smb.conf that prevent users to use drag and drop within Samba shares? I know this is a Winedow$ function, but some users (hum, hum) use Explorer to open their files and accidentally they drag and drop sometimes a directory in the root of the share to another directory in the root of the share. My samba server is member of a native W2k3 server Active Directory and AD users are able to access the Samba shares. The share is configured like this in smb.conf: [grp] comment = Group Directory path = /data/grp valid users = @NH-HOTELES.COM\DEP_RHEL4_MEMBER read only = No inherit permissions = Yes hide unreadable = Yes The /data/grp directory looks like this: drwxrws--- 2 root NH-HOTELES\dep_rhel4_adm 4096 Sep 11 2006 adm drwxrws--- 4 root NH-HOTELES\dep_rhel4_fog 4096 Mar 9 2007 fog If a user is member of dep_rhel4_adm and dep_rhel4_fog he/she is able to drag and drop the fog directory into the adm directory. If it is not possible to configure this within smb.conf, can I do something on the Linux side? Thanx for any answer. Alex. I don't think there is any way for Samba to distinguish if a file operation initated by users drag and drop. What you need to do is change the behaviour of Windows Explorer on the problem desktops. Open Control Panel, Open Internet Explorer Settings, Security Tab, Local Intranet Zone, then click on the Custom button Scroll down until you find "Drag and drop or copy and paste files" and change from Enabled to prompt. You might also want to consider purchasing "AB Commander" for your users who find Explorer too cumbersome as the default file management app. AB allows much great customization of Drag-Drop behaviour. As for the Samba end, you can make the root folder read-only for a group of users, assuming they don't need to create new files/folders on the root of the share. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

The issue is that XFS does not write Metadata updates in an ordered fashion.. That means a file's meta data can be updated before the data is flushed to disk. This will cause parts of files being written to be replace by binary nulls. It is especially problematic for software that copies a new file over an existing file without first doing an fsync to ascertain that the new file is flushed to disk before unlinking the old one.

Re: [Samba] Newbie smb.conf question
Unix systems have a default permission.. On most system, the default is User: Read-Write Group: Read Other: Read Create mode is used to remove permissions. That is, any permission that is not in create mode gets removed. The default create mode is: User: Read-Write Group: None Other: Note Therefore, any file saved will only have user Read Write permissions. However, is you created a Create mode like this: User: Read-Write Group: Read-Write Other: None The result would be a file with these permissions: User: Read-Write Group: Read Other: None Even though create mode allowed a group write permission, the default unix permissions do not include it. Force Create Mode, however, will add permissions over and above the defaults. Force Create Mode is used to add permissions.. So, In summary Create mode will restrict file permissions. Force Create mode will give permissiosn. It should be noted, that Force Create Mode does not remove permission.. So, in as an Example Create Mode: User: Read-Write Group: Read Other: Read Force Create Mode: User: Read Group: None Other: None The result will be files that are: User: Read Write Group: Read Other: Read The only effect Force Create mode has is ensuring that the User alwasys has Read Permission, regardless of what the other parameters say. It does not remove permissions that were otherwise granted. If you always want Force Create Mode to dictate and force exactly the permissions you want, Change Create Mode to 000. That will strip out any default permissions, and only those that are then granted by Force create mode will apply.

Re: [Samba] How to use the "profiles" - command ?
This isn't a 'keep it simple' answer I'm afraid, but it sounds to me as though your system is trying to look up the IP address of your internal machines by DNS on an Internet only DNS server. I think there are configuration option in Samba now that prevent this, but I'm not sure what they are.

Re: [Samba] Samba just Slow with AutoCad?
Hi. Does your new system use ReiserFS? When these ~20 second delays happen, can you see if there's a spike of System CPU time useage on the server? I've not heard of it happening over a network share, but some "poorly behaved" applications can trigger a 'feature', (actually, a performance optimization) with ReiserFS on Newer (2.6) kernels that will make the kernel spin it's wheels for a number of seconds. If this might be the case for you, you can disable it by mounting a ReiserFS volume with a nolargeio=1 option. (If you want to test this, it appears to to be safe to remount. That is, mount /home -o remount,nolargeio=1 As an example.)

You might want to consider enabling and configurins WINS for your network, rather than rely on the serendipity of broadcast browsing.

Re: [Samba] Why does a W2K (pro) client do more than it is asked to do?
Why W2k is trying to connect as guest is anyone's guess... But regardless, your problems will probably go away once you have a valid guest account... Find out what the Unix user for your guest account is, (Samba defaults to nobody) and set the guest accout option in smb.conf.

Re: [Samba] [OT] Fyodor terminates SCO nmap rights -- how about Samba?
As much as I would like to see a slew of copyright infringement claims get filed against SCO, from my reading of the GPL, violations of the license only terminates your right to distribute the software which was violated. AFAIK, the only GPL software who's license SCO has arguably violated, to date, is Linux. Making derogatory comments about the GPL to the press does not violate the terms of the license.

Re: [Samba] Re: Printing vs. iptables
What are your default IP tables rules? Do you Drop instead of Reject? If so, try chanding your policies to Reject connections from the local network that you don't accept. Optionally, log the rejected connections to see what port Window is trying to talk to, and later, reject rather than drop that 1 port. The long delay is probably caused by Windows waiting for a dropped connection to time out. On Wed, Feb 18, 2004 at 02:20:36PM -0500, Ken Tindle wrote: > No, it does not appear to be webclient.

Re: [Samba] PRINTING FROM LINUX CLIENTS TO LINUX PRINTER SERVER WITH SAMBA
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume that the message flood was an accident, and the annoying 'loud' subject line is just ignorance of netiquette. Your question is more appropriate to cups than to Samba. Use smbclient print to send a file to a remote printer. However, the file has to be in a language your printer understands if your sending to a RAW queue. (Postscript should work well if you are sending to a printer queue configured by CUPS with a driver for your printer.) If you have a GUI enviroment with KDE installed, try using kprinter as a frontend to cups. That's the best Linux printing solution I've found for Linux Desktops. Failing that, make sure you read the CUPS documentation, (http://localhost:631) and the printing documents in the Samba howto collection. And lastly, if these two computers are on the same LAN, configure cups on the server to broadcast and accept connections remotely, and let CUPS take care of the network sharing. Again, refer to the CUPS documentation. CUPS's implementation of IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) makes Windoze printer sharing look like a dinossaur left over from the early 80's. (Oh wait... that's about right, isn't it?)

Re: [Samba] Why does simple smb.conf demand password?
Hi Lary You can get around it by sending a blank password. (ie, just press enter). Since you enabled guest ok, logins with bad passwords will go to guest account (default is nobody) and all should be well. (If the login prompt asks for a Username as well as a password, just put anything) As for why you need the password prompt at all, it is because Samba's default security model is "User", which closely resembles a Windows NT server. The server requires a valid user for all connections. If you wanted to change this behaviour, you could change security to "share", but I would not suggest doing that until you are more familiar with those mysterious password issues.

Re: [Samba] LARGE FILE PROBLEMS
The smbfs File System is part of the Linux Kernel, and not Samba. It likely has trouble with Large files. There are patches and what not to get around this but they are not supported by Samba. Try using the samba tools (smbclient or smbtar) and see if that works.

Re: [Samba] files over 2 GB in size?
smbfs is part of the Linux kernel and not Samba, and may not support large files. The official answer to this question is "use smbclient". Personally, I find split to be a great way to manage tar files. Example. tar -cz data/ | split -b 1024m - /mnt/share/bckp/bckp.tar.gz. To untar the archive: cat /mnt/share/bckp/* | tar -xz On Mon, Nov 24, 2003 at 11:53:48AM -0600, Adam Williams wrote: > Is there a way in samba to create files greater then 2GB in size?

Re: [Samba] Still trying to backup 66 GB from LINUX to W2K ***
As an unrelated, and posibly easy, work-around. Are you able to pipe the file through the split command as you back it up?

Re: [Samba] Re: Incorrect format of Text
Indeed, a more complete explanation: The text file format is, believe it or not, different between Windows and Unix. In Windows, lines end in CR and LF (or maybe that's LF and CR, whatever). In Unix there is only a LF, the CR is assumed. (Carriage Return and Line Feed.) FTP will usually tranfer text files in text mode, wich will automatically translate files between the systems. Most system have some kind of todos program that will convert a text file from Unix to MS format. If not, you can use ftp to tranfer the files to a Windows machine, then copy them back to the Unix share via Samba. Note: Samba cannot, nor will it likely ever, mangle the contents of files to translate 'on the fly'. Note also that Word Pad on Windows doens't seem to have trouble reading Unix formatted files. This usually becomes a problem with .BAT files (ex: logon scripts) that must be in DOS format to execute properly. On Fri, 15 Aug 2003, Failed Access wrote: Sounds like line feeds.

Re: [Samba] User directories and groups usage
Create Mask 660 will remove executable bits from any saved file, as advertized. However, since Samba normally maps archive attribute to executable permission in Unix, this would break the archive attribute.

Re: [Samba] File Corruption
You've only seen corruption on files of .exe type, while you have data files regularly being copied back and forth? My first guess would be to check and double check for a virus on any pc that has access to that share. There is an older Dos virus I've seen around that will mess up installers and cause Windows to complain that that the file is not a valid Win32 Application, or some such error message.

This will need more information to track down I'm afraid. What makes me very suspicious if the mozilla installer example. Can you try installing an audit vfs to track who wrote what to a file ?

Re: [Samba] "create mask = 0660" and "map archive = yes" ?
define your create mask as 0760. Create mask does not give or add permissions to files, it takes them away. Ergo, by removing the execute bit from the create mask, Samba always removes the execute bit. Maybe what you wanted is "force create mode"?. Force Create mode 0660 would ensure that user and group always get read/write permission to the file.

RE: [Samba] Question
By default Samba v. 2.x (since the version was not mentioned, I'm assuming the post refers to a recent stable version) uses un-encrypted passwords. Windows 2K, on the other hand, will not send unencrypted passwords over the network without a registry hack. Instructions on setting up encrypted passwords in Samba can be found in one of the docs (I believe named ENCRYPTION). There are also some instructions on changing Windows behaviour to enable plain text passwords.

Re: [Samba] Permissions with CD's Copied from Win
The parameter you want to set is "force create mode = 0777" or 0666 if you don't want to set the execute bit. this will affect files only, not directories. It's somewhat difficult to explain (and took me about 2 years to wrap my head around it.), but create mode will remove unwanted permission attributes, whereas force create mode will add permission attributes. For example, if you wanted to remove the word readable permission from new files, you would use create mode = 0740. Also note that in unix terms, you have to make a file writable (as opposed to DOS, where you have to make files read-only.) It's a sublte difference, but can be a little confusing.

Re: [Samba] Can't use mount command with samba
I'm fairly certain that smbmount requires the NetBIOS hostname as the server name, not the IP Address. (If smb is unable to find the IP with the standard resoution order/mechanisms, one can be specified with an option.) Also, if you are trying to mount a share, you need to specify the share. Konqueror is *not* actually mounting any shares. It's just displaying the shares and the files within on the fly without mounting. (The command line equivalent would be to use smbclient.) When your asking for help, instead of just asking "why doens't this work." please post the results of your command. What is the result (output) when you type the mount command?

The ability to delete a file is held in the *directory* the file is contained in, not the file itself. So to create a directory with files users can write to, but not delete, set the directory permissions to disallow writing to the group containing the users (or "other") and set the file permissions to allow the group containing the users (or "other") to write to the file.

OT:Re: [Samba] Re: Quoting style
On the issue of quoting, I notice that many people prefer that previous messages be clipped or trimmed. I, personally prefer a long trail of quotes. I do not read most of the hundreds of messages I receive in my inbox, and I'm too lazy to sort them into neat little archives as they come in. Reading my e-mail consists of scanning the headers, picking out the few messages I want to read, then deleting most everything else. I find it useful, when opening a message I suddenly find interesting, for whatever reason, to be able to read up on the thread. (within reason of course.)

Re: [Samba] Problem: Copying large amount of files to SAMBA Server.W2K Error "file in use" for exe files.
If your moving the files *to* the Samba Server, then this error is happening because the file is in use on the W2K client. I would suspect an anti-virus software. Try disabling any auto-protect. It might also be Explorer scanning all the exe's for icon information. I'm not really certain how I would work around that one.

Re: [Samba] why user nobody
The default configuration of samba should try to map the guest account to user nobody. The guest account is important for various smb functions, is is probably *always* used by smbd and nmbd. One of this is probably crashing if it cannot find the guest account user. Check your logs to see if any information is being printed there. As someone already pointed out, noboby is an important conceptual user in Unix/Linux. Don't worry, it isn't a security risk. It should not be possible to login as nobody. However, processes that are running as root can drop their permissions to "nobody" to make their operation more secure on the system.

Re: [Samba] Ext3fs/ReiserFS Performance Enhancing
Finding out how to tune the EXT3 journaling method would be good. That information has eluded my searches as well... However, before you fiddle with your file system, you should really investigate what your problem really is. Unfortunately, you assertian that you do not have network problems because you can download a file quickly is not at all true. Many network problems can affect traffic one way moreso than the other. There is no reason that writing a 10MB file to a Samba share should take more a 10 seconds. (Mine goes in a bout 5 seconds, and my Samba server hard drive writing speed is actually *very* slow) If it's taking you over a minute to transfer 5 MB, something is very very wrong. On Fri, 21 Mar 2003, Robert Adkins II wrote: Hello All, I have been doing some research to find a method to increase the performance of writes to the hard drives in my servers. I am running Samba and all writes to the server hard drives are taking at least 3 to 10 times (It varies) the amount of time it took to write such files on our older Windows NT 4.0 File Server. The following information is provided to keep this issue on track... It is not a NIC or network issue. Reads of files from those drives take place almost instantly. I have been able to copy an entire 700MB CD-ROM ISO image off of the server in less then 3 minutes, yet writing a 5 MB file to the server will take approximately the 3 minutes, or more. I have also optimized the smb.conf file as best as it can be. This resulted in a gain of approximately 15 seconds. This happens regardless of how busy the server is in serving files to other users as I have tested this while all PCs were in use on the network and also when none were in use. In some of my searching, I have read that ReiserFS has faster write performance then Ext3FS. So, I blew away the "share" partition on our test server, recreated that with ReiserFS and rebuilt the share. So far, I have only seen a few seconds of speed increase. (The other odd thing is that the Windows Explorer file copy progress bar is much more consistent to the ReiserFS share then the ext3fs share.) I have a few ideas about why there is a slowdown and a few ideas of what could possibly increase performance. However, I am at a loss as to how to implement those changes or how to verify that they are even possible. (Except by asking this list.) My Google searches have come up dry with actual methods (ie. Commands to look at or actually use.) to implement some performance enhancements. All they say are things like, change ext3fs's method of writing the journal from the stock "conservative" method to the much faster, yet slightly dangerous, method. There is just no mention of how that is done. I have read through the man pages and there is nothing that leaps out and says, "This is the command that alters the ext3fs journal method." From what I read, so far, about the two journaling methods it is a VERY acceptable risk for the potential performance increase. (It is even more acceptable if it can be setup only to affect the share partition, which is also its own separate drive.) There are a few other ideas that I have, but after thinking those over, they would likely be far more of a hassle then they would be worth. Are there any suggestions for increasing HD Write performance, while still using a journaling FS? At this time, I do not have the resources and additional funds to rebuild the hard drives using XFS or JFS. So, it has to be ReiserFS or ext3fs. Thanks for any assistance!

Re: [Samba] Re: Samba corrupting files
If your going to be using samba to host foxpro files, I think you should deffinately update to a newer version.. I forget at what recent point in time, but Jerry announced a very important fix (spin locks?) that were checked in recently to prevent fox pro database corruption. I don't think it has anything to do with the log files appearing in data files problem, but I haven't heard about that one in a long time. And as for your Unix Administrator giving you a hard time about Sun not providing the packages,,, well, I don't know what to say about that one. You may want to politely suggest that Sun does not, in fact, develop Samba, so their official ok doesn't really count for much when Samba devel team acknowledges serious data corruption bugs that have been fixed. If he/she doesn't get the hint, you may have to escalate the issue with management. This probably comes down to some kind of support contract in regards to what software is allowed to be installed on the Server.

Re: [Samba] please reply
These sound more like OX X user interface quirks to me. (And would therefore have nothing to to with Samba).

Re: [Samba] Dumb ? question abount Name Resolution on a full SambaDomain
I don't know why the Samba documentation suggests not using Wins Support. It is by far a more reliable mechanism that broadcasts for Windows networks to find hosts, and is relatively painless to set up.

Re: [Samba] Re: Data Conversion
How were you examing the file size? If you look at the properties of a file in Explorer, you see a file size (in Brackets) as well as a confusing number of "bytes used". The bytes used will depend on the block size, as it is supposed to report the bytes of hard drive storage used to store the file, and will probably be innacurate when reporting the amount of space used on the samba share. The number of bytes in the brackets, however, should not change, and is not rounded. On Wed, 22 Jan 2003, Jim C wrote: hmmm... Well I do remember once uploading a file to my Linux server (without samba) and seeing a change in the file size.

I could still use the file and there seemed no other changes other than that on this box it was one size and another size on that box. I also remember consulting a professional about it and what I was told was that Windoze does rounding.

[Samba] SMBFS workarounds
Well, yes, I see your point about smbfs mounting the file system in single user, but I see s many ways to quickly get around that Assuming your passwords are stored in properly read protected files, why could you not configure smbfs to mount the file system somewhere in the users home directory with the proper username/password for the user when he/she logs in? I agree that this would be a pain to set up and far from ideal,, but smbsh is really not nearly good enough, (IMNSHO) for actually sharing a network file system. On a side note: I think a reason that your comments attracted so much critism is not because people think samba doesn't take corruption seriously (I'm a big fan of Samba and samba team myself,, and I think the level of support offered on the mailing list by samba developers is nothing short of superb), but your clain that Samba never shiped a version with data corruption bugs...

It creates a user space file system under /smb. If uses the LD_PRELOAD facility. Unfortunately, recent glibc changes have broken the ability to use this. To use this /smb facility (which works great on Sun Solaris) you run smbsh, enter your user name and password, cd /smb, then ls will list the workgroups (domains) in your network neighborhood, cd to a machine name, ls will list the shared resources, cd into a shared resource and ls will list the files. You can operate on these files like they are local. The key benefit of this is that the smbsh session is authenticated as the remote user, thus the remote user gains access only to resources (files/directories) that he/she is entitled to access. With smbfs though the remote resource is mounted as a single UID/GID at the LInux end, and ALL communication with the remote server is as a single user (ie: one SID). I personally dislike this from a security and control perspective because I approach all Unix/Linux interoperability from the NT Administrator's perspective. After all, why have individual user accounts if everyone is going to access the remote files as just one user. Hope that helps to explain my position.
