Q: 2GB file limit in samba? A: No. At this time ( kernel 2.2.4 and samba 2.2.8 ) the limit is in the kernel code used to access samba not in the samba server.

It makes all the difference in the world. There should be ONLY one PDC. Period. Be it NT, 2000, XP or samba. So make up your mind either samba or the other box. If you allready have a PDC maybe you're looking to security=domain in your smb.conf file. In that moment your samba box will ask the PDC "is john with this password the person who pretends he is?" This is authentication. Then somehow you must tell samba that user john should access only /someshare. This is authorisation. All the above happen only if you've joined samba to the domain controlled by the PDC.

[Samba] samba via ssh; some W2000 do not.
Samba 2.2.8a. Since (Free)Swan flew into ground I've started to use openssh to connect to the samba server. So far so good, what I do is to forward 139 and then declare the samba server to be 127.0.0.1 in lmhosts on the Windows WS. It worked well for all XPs Pro that I have tested but in 2 out of 3 W2000 Pro it did not. That is typing in explorer \\sambaserver\drive like I do in XP resulted in a blocked explorer. Of course doing net use X: \\server\drive works but my users are scared to death of the command prompt; I can't seem to be able to do "net use" from a .bat that is without having the user to type the commands and password; I don't even know where to start from as my usual Linux-Ethereal-10MB_plain_old_Hub tool does not work, I don't speak natively blowfish... *ANY* hints would be greatly appreciated. :-| -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

As a wild guess, maybe your samba attempts to change *BOTH* the UNIX password and the samba password and if one fails the it is failure.

[Samba] How to "recover" the printer drivers?
Samba 2.2.8a-1, RH8.
... So, I had to reinstall. Fortunately I had a back-up copy. I've installed
everything and then went to back-up and brought back all the stuff from
/etc/samba and /var/cache/samba and all /etc/cups and /etc/printcap*.
Aparently samba is working corectly: All user/machine accounts are in place
winbind OK... It's just that although I've restored the /home/printers
folder in the previous state it looks like I've lost my printer drivers.
Rpcclient enumdrivers shows empty hands although the driver files are in the
corresponding folder! Printing directly to CUPS works without any problem
and using the same config files it worked before the "move".
Logs for the machine trying to print looks like:

I have yet to see someone forwarding broadcasts through a ssh tunnel. You can quit using broadcasts if you don't want to use "network neighborhood" on the remote net. You'll do it with ssh by forwarding 139 but there is a catch: this ties you to accessing a single samba machine at a time! Users do not have to type complicated command lines each time. That's what .bat files are used for ;-) You make a bat file with ssh command to connect to the remote host and the user clicks it on the desktop; it only asks for a password.

Only once, you the windows admin modify the lmhosts file to point the name of the remote samba machine to 127.0.0.1. Then after the ssh connection is established you can access the remote machine in explorer with \\remote\sharename. Use IE's bookmarks features, name the shares accordingly.

It is required but fortunately it's done automagically. ;-) When you restart samba if it ends up being a master browser it register itself as <1x> depending of the config; otherwise it will register as share. > Which ever machine won the election > to be the browser server, rest of clients within the subnet > will know it, including the WINS server that will > automicatlly picks it up (therefore the browser server is > registered to the WINS server)? WINS server never picks up thinks. Only the MB. It depends of the config of the MB: If the machine who wins the elections is configured to use WINS it will ALSO register itself at WINS server as a pair name-IP. > I will try to add following two lines into my smb.conf. > domain master = yes; > perferred master = yes; > > If any more steps are required, I think it's how to register > browser server to the WINS? Like I said: it is the duty of the MB to register the name of the domain/workgroup to the WINS. So whoever gets elected IF it knows about WINS it will register. My very own advice is to "cheat" elections (like putting os level = 254 and also domain master and preferred) so samba always wins. By doing this you bring the whole issue to the Linux world where you can control things... E.g. you can very easy look in /var/cache/samba/wins.dat and browse.dat and "see" what the WINS and the MB think of the network. A common problem though is that after blatantly cheating elections like that the list will be mostly empty. You have to "signal" the rest of the machines to "reanounce" themselves so the list gets populated. I was only able to do that by rebooting them Win9X and 2000. Beware that some gurus advice against this practice. I've never understood why; Yet I've seen a more powerful W2000 winning MB from the NT PDC and all worked fine until the MB was overloaded with a heavy SQL query; browse list responses were coming very slow although both the PDC and other machines had plenty of time. I was watching dumps hoping elections will start again but somehow the delay was short enough... Ever since I make samba win. Again: keep looking at the logs.

WHICH machine did "won" the elections in your net? You do know about the process by which the "network neighborhood" gets built don't you? So is there another W2K/XP server which is supposed to keep the browse list? >From your short message my wild guess is that the master browser did not register the <1b> record to WINS because it: 1. Didn't knew that it has to (that is it's still broadcast only based, that is you've never reconfigured it for wins!) 2. It didn't knew that it is time to do that. Windows machines do not register names to WINS every second... BTW: I'd be a life grateful to someone pointing me to a Microsoft tool or method to trigger wins registration in a MS box; roughly the equivalent of "service smb restart"...

There are two different things involved here: browsing and resolving names. Some times they're performed by the same machine sometimes not. Browsing is about who is on the network in terms of names ( that is letters like XPWkst_1 ). Every time a windows machine boots it sends a BROADCAST message on the configured NIC stating "Hi, I'm XPWkst_1 is there anybody taking care of this net?" and a designated machine called Master Browser answers "Yep, I heard you! You are on the list now."; next WS2 asks the Master Browser "Give me the list of other machines that you know about" and that's how you get to "see the network neighborhood". Clicking on a name in that list implies the next step: XPWkst_1 has a bunch of letters and it must know the corresponding IP address so it can make a connection; that's where WINS comes in: it's a thing that you ask questions like "which is the IP of XPWkst_4?". Which machine XPWkst_1 will ask wins questions to, is configured by the admin (either via DHCP or manually in the NIC settings). The Master Browser is tricky game, MB gets "elected" (and like in any political system you can cheat those elections to your benefit ;-) ). Beware that I left out a lot of ugly details. So in order to perform the functions that you have requested you have to somehow "propagate" the BROADCAST from one net to another and configure the machines on both nets to use the same WINS machine. The second one is simple the first one is tricky at least... Another idea (that I have tested myself) would be to have two samba machines one in each net. Machines in 192.168.13.0 will use .3 samba as a MB and machines in 192.168.10.0 will use their own samba to do the same. Then you configure sambas to synchronize the browsing lists so each net "knows" about lists in the other. If my memory serves me well is about "remote browse sync" and "remote announce" in smb.conf; dig more, call for help after you've done lessons. IMO you should start experimenting with a simple config two nets and a router. AVOID putting samba on router (that would be trivial) and try to make both nets to see each other. Once you've sorted that out replace the router box with the VPN and nothing should change. Remember: tail -f /var/log/samba/log.nmbd should be your friend but set a decent debug level e.g. 6. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

from samba.org can be made .rpm! That is the tgz from the site has a .spec
in it. It's just that you get only a samba.rpm and not all the sepparate
components that RedHat does. I guess that's what --nodeps and --forced were
given for as rpm options... :-s

Well the patch worked with some small quirks but it can be done.
Unfortunately I don't have the original mail so I can't tell you who he was
;-).
I remember him telling me that in 2.2.8 things should be fixed so maybe the
listers can tell you more about this.

Then man smb.conf and see about file permisions. The files that you put there are supposed to be read by the apache user (f you haven't changed anything...)

[Samba] "shadow" folders in XP explorer?
Samba 2.2.8 which is also PDC, logon from windows XP WS. If different users log on from the same WS one can tell the "history" of the logons because upon exploring the samba server one can see all the other users home shares; I mean the previously logged in users. That is if John logs in to XP WS and the samba server was just started he sees his home. If he logs off and then Jane logs in, Jane can see on the samba server her home and a share "John" that she can not access. If samba gets a restart the ghost "home" disappears immediately. Anybody with a hint on how to avoid this kind of behavior?

Just a silly idea don't know even if it works: If you are in control of the link how about messing with the wins.dat file? When the link gets up you exchange/merge wins.dat files from both servers and restart nmbds... For example all machines in one net are called with a distinctive a_ in name so you grep in b network in the wins.dat file and replace all a_ entries with the new ones.

RE: [Samba] problems with pam_winbind, that is linux box to samba remote server
It looks like the winbind "client" will NOT natively auth you against a
samba PDC. After 2 days of browsing through lists it looks like the cause is
this: (Kevin Stefanik)
"winbindd gets a list of domain controllers via
broadcast and then confirms each directly with a unicast query to the
controller itself (in cm_get_dc_name in winbindd_cm.c) specifically querying
the 0x1c role. That query is coming into nmbd as a unicast query."
The solution (that worked for me) seems to be a small patch by Volker

[Samba] Can I use winbind to auth against a samba 2.2.7 "PDC"?
I'm looking for a valid way to let users have a single point password change for windows login and IMAP. As I don't want to resort to clear text passwords (that would allow to sync the UNIX passwords) I went the other way that is pam for IMAP (via winbind). It's just that wbinfo -t says "Secret is bad" and wbinfo -a gives a: plaintext password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND (0xc233) Could not authenticate user ... with plaintext password The NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND is the most strange one. If I tcpdump the machine it looks like winbind asks for PDC only at broadcast as there were no "wins = ..." directive in smb.conf. Needles to say I've joined the domain. I can do a smbclient -L PDC and the response comes instantly. Run out of ideas... Still: is it possible to use winbind and samba PDC? Or it was designed only for M$ software? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
