Ubuntu gives you a fully functioning basic Samba configuration. SWAT allows you to easily configure it to add shares, printers, etc..

When you replace Ubuntu's smb.conf file with your own hacked-up version, you will get the same results you previously had. Use Ubuntu's default smb.conf as your starting point then use SWAT to update it.

Answer by OS/2 user:
Actually, Samba is server only. Client for using Samba shares has been called
CIFS (on Linux at least; previously SMB) for a couple of years or more. Have
you looked for a precompiled and/or updated CIFS for Mac?

[Samba] Newbie Samba question from a (lowly) Mac user
Hi,
I'm a Mac user working in a company that is PC and Linux dominated. I have a
Mac at work and I funnel everything through it. I mount my Linux box onto my
Mac using Samba, and navigate it's filesystem through the Finder and run
programs on it while displaying all the X-windows back to my Mac. It all works
very well, except for several annoying issues pertaining to Samba e.g. mounts
often lock up, I can't copy a file into my own Linux hierarchy because it says
my Linux machine has no space left (which is not right). I'm guessing this is
all the Mac's fault due to it's version or implementation of Samba. Apple is
not very good at supporting/updating this kind of thing.
On macupdate.com I note that samba 3.4.3 is available for the Mac, but:
1. Unlike pretty much every other platform, there is no prebuilt
binary/installer for the Mac.
2. It seems to be a server only and I'm guessing I just need a client.
Assuming my Samba issues are all on the Mac side, does anyone have a
recommendation about upgrading my machine to something better in the Samba
department - I'm running the latest 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system. Please
bear in mind that I'm just a 'user' and a genuine fish out of water when it
comes to manually building a software installation ('make' and library linking
etc).

To my knowledge - then user connects to server he is asked to submit user and password (if security = user), then server authenticates user and gives him a token with rights for further connections. So it doesn't matter which share you are accessing, you are accessing server with the token you got from first authentication. > - Is it possible to have "force group" on the shares section, so each > share has one? yes it is and that is were I use it. > - Will the user be asked for the password again,if he opens the second > share (without rebooting Windows)?

As I said - token is your rights to the server. It is valid until you logoff (maybe command "net use * /d" on workstation may help to forget token without logoff, but I'm not sure). User is asked for a password once to get a token (if security = user in smb.conf). force group directive is working on samba server file system, it does not effect user membership. I think setting force group on share can even be set to group the user does not belong to (again - not sure, but you can test). This directive will force all files and folders created on the share to be owned by group specified in force group directive. You set force group directive to make sure all files in that share are created with appropriate group. > thanks for your time. > > > > 2009/5/15 Liutauras Adomaitis >> >> On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 4:27 PM, Conta Falsa 337 >> wrote: >> > samba version is 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 >> > -- >> > >> > I created users on both samba and the linux system, and created 3 groups >> > on >> > the system.

I read http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html the part regarding "group" or "force group" directive, and it's not clear to me if I can have more than one instance of this directive, since I need the group to be forced depending on which share the user is creating the file. An example: user: james first share: projectX (he is a member of the group projectX) second share: projectY (he is a member of the group projectY) James is a member of both groups, since I don't use PDC (Vista clients), the first time the user tries to access the shared folder, he will be asked for the password, say he first opens /projectX, then he will be forced do group projectX, but what if he opens projectY and tries to write there? - Is it possible to have "force group" on the shares section, so each share has one? - Will the user be asked for the password again,if he opens the second share (without rebooting Windows)? The "change" of the primary group will happen transparently, or the user would have to disconnect, and then open the /projectY (therefore having to type his username/password again)? thanks for your time. 2009/5/15 Liutauras Adomaitis > On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 4:27 PM, Conta Falsa 337 > wrote: > > samba version is 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 > > -- > > > > I created users on both samba and the linux system, and created 3 groups > on > > the system.

[Samba] Newbie question - force file permission to user's secondary groups.
samba version is 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 -- I created users on both samba and the linux system, and created 3 groups on the system. Each of these groups own a specific directory, the directory on the filesystem belongs to root.groupfoo. On my smb.conf I gave each of these groups write access to its directory (@groupfoo to the share /groupfoo). So now every linux user belonging to groupfoo can write there. The problem is, groupfoo is not the user's primary group, so the file is created with permission user1.user1, and not user1.groupfoo, therefore, other users belonging to groupfoo cannot edit or delete that file. I read smb.conf manual, but found no option to enforce that if the top directory belongs to root.groupfoo all files created under there will belong to "userxyz.groupfoo", so I set on the filesystem each of those 3 directories to be setgid, so now every file created under, say, /groupbar (belongs to root.groupbar), has this permission: userabc.groupbar. I would like that the file/directory created belongs to the user executing the operation, and to the toplevel group owning that share, since a user can belong to 2 or all of those 3 groups mentioned, knowing that every user does not have any of those 3 groups as primary group. Is this the right approach or did I misunderstood the manual and I should do this only on smb.conf and not have to enforce it on the filesystem? thanks for your time. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

No, that's a really good idea and thanks for bringing it up. I used to do a lot of Samba marketing, but have been working more on code recently.

Good news & bad news: With the help of "Richard Nelson", I was able to generate a batch file, that will prompt for an username and password in Windows XP: The following batch file, disconnects J: (incase a user forgot to logoff), then requests the username. The "*" after the password will prompt for the password. I was unable to get "net" to prompt for a password correctly. edit netuser.bat @echo off set/p Username=Enter your Username: rem disconnects "J:" incase a user forgot to logoff net use J: /delete /y rem the net use with a "*" password will prompt for a password net use J: \\liuxserver\files /USER:%Username% * /persistent:no j: dir rem the last pause will allow us to see any error messages incase of errors Pause Can someone try my batch file on Vista?

[Samba] newbie question/authenticate
I have a small network running in a school. My network is working. samba is running on openSuSE 11.0 and Windows XP and Windows98se can access the non protect samba shares/sections. I have one problem that I been struggling with. I have read the howto's, and searched the lists, but can not find the solution. I would like to implement [homes] or [usershares] for student directories and file storage: When accessing the /students or /homes directory, students would be prompted for a username and password. The student would not need to be login to the Windows OS. That is, I just want a prompt for both username and password when the share is accessed. This should work from either Windows 98se or Windows XP. Linux: Do students need Linux/UNIX accounts? [yes] Linux: what do I need to set the security = share/user/server/domain/ADS ? Linux: Do I need to add each student to the smbpasswd directory? [yes] Linux: What are the minimum parameters that I need to implement [homes] ? Linux: What are the parameters that I need to implement [usershares] ? Windows question: I have setup the Linux samba shares. When I access the shares, the windows box that pops up does not allow me to change the username, only the password. The user name is /guest/login-name. I would like windows to prompt me for the "user name" as well as the "password". On XP, if the user is login'ed to the machine, then adding the password gets the right share. If I knew the name of the windows service, I would have a chance at searching for the solution. # samba parameters from testparm [global] workgroup = TAKE5 interfaces = 192.168.1.203/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = Yes security = SHARE map to guest = Bad User log level = 2 smb ports = 139 socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY printcap name = /etc/printcap mangling method = hash os level = 255 preferred master = Yes case sensitive = No mangled names = No [files] comment = Work area files path = /students/%U read only = No [teacher] comment = Master work area files path = /students valid users = srannie read only = No I have setup Linux accounts, and samba passwords for each student.

Hello everyone, I am new to samba so after some trial, I got stuck with my setup, so I decide to post here to look for your assist, so thank you first! and below is my installation requirement: I have 01 server ( running CentOS 5.2) and I will use it as file server for 20 workstations that running Windows XP. The setup look easy at requested that: - 01 Directory will permit EVERYBODY in office access with read/write permission, I name it PUBLIC - 01 Directory only permit some persons in office access with read/write, another will not permited. I name it ADMINISTRATIVE I can make it work with the PUBLIC directory but how can I configure it to limit access on ADMINISTRATIVE directory I tried "security = user" and "guest ok = yes" in [global] section of configuration file and put "guest ok = no" in section [ADMINISTRATIVE] but when I put an user name I not permit to write on ADMINISTRATIVE directory when asked, it still can write to it. So what am I wrong and which permission I need to set on that directory ? I've used Windows XP to test access to it My samba version is 3.0.28 (which shipped by CentOS 5.2) Thank you for your assist! regards. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Maybe, do you have your other parameters like 'security', 'invalid users', probably the result of 'testparm' and 'testparm -v' would make the trick. ;) The default configuration of samba (from official samba source) is pretty sane, but security is a process not a product, so you may have more higher standards of security than others. > 2.

Long time ago, and 'old school' sysadmin said to me that you should never trust the defaults, always explicit add in the config file what you want, and if the default change you will be safe. testparm can show you the values as they are now, you can them make the result of testparm your new smb.conf, but there is no big point on doing that if you trust the default values. The Official Samba HOWTO has tips about security all over the chapters, restrict the bind interfaces, the IPs networks, the users, for example, some people use 'valid users = %S' in their [homes]. > I can't believe it was that simple to setup...should > it have been, or am I missing something that created > a big security hole? Samba is simple, it just requires some patience, care and attention. ;) And so far, I didn't see any "big security hole", but again, your security is as strong as the weakest link in the chain.

There is no chance that the clients use the same Windows login name as we have assinged them on the servers. Each client has 1, and only 1, home directory on the server. 1.

[Samba] Newbie User Migration Questions
OK, As I plan and plot this migration . This is what I think I wanna try to do. What do you thing of this - Our old NT server, has a Domain called Engineering. We were not retiring users, because in NT, if you retire a user you can never use it again. So when we retired jones for Susie Jones, when Tom Jones was hired we could not use jones as a user again. So we had to make user like tjones or jonest or jones1. When someone would leave we would just disable the account. We really never got into the roaming profiles or groups for that matter. I see that there are migration tools, but if we have 50 users that must authenticate, that is a high estimate. What I want to do is get the Linux/Samba box running, and maybe make a new domain, lets say Corporate. Because the users are all screwed up and I don't want to import all of them, I guess I could create them on this new machine. From what I read, I would have to add the user to unix, add the user to Samba, and if the machine is Win2k or XP, add the machine to the domain. Then I would move everyone over to this new domain. The old NT PDC has DHCP on it, excluding likethe first 75 ip's for the servers. I would have to set up DHCP the same way on the new server and disable it on the old one. Does this sound logical ??? We have a real, fussy application running on the old server, that I really can not change, nor change the client on the workstations - all of the stuff is written into the registry - we don't have support so I want to leave it on the old server until we can convert.

[Samba] Newbie question, authentication with UNIX accounts, not smbusers/smbpasswd
Hi all, I would like to access my RedHat Enterprise box which has Samba 3.0.9, by mapping a network drive from WinXP and specifying the UNIX account/password on the server. Is this possible?

[Samba] newbie question
Hello, i'm trying to implement a samba server in one of the branches of the organization that i'm working for. at the present i have a w2k3 pdc and dns with active directory wich handles all the domain secrity policies as the user profiles, the problem is that the branch is very far and the networking channel is very poor. we decided to install a server in samba wich would handle the dns, dhcp and the authentication of the users in the branch, is very small, only 10 clients. now, (don't fall sleep please) i've really read the samba docs, but i cant seem to find how can it be integrated with active directory?, because i really need to use the user privileges that are set on the ad, all i seem to find is reference to unix user in windows domains, but in my case all the users are on the ad using windows xp, i have 20 linux/unix servers but this would be the first incoporated to the windows domain and active directory...

I build the samba box on some newer hardware, installed rsync on both machines (there's a netware rsync package, I think I got it on the developer's network), and used that to transfer files for the migration. I had to write a script to change ownership and permissions after the file xfer, that information didn't come across in a usable way after the file sync. Someone else may know a more elegant way of getting the files over. After a few gotcha's, it's all been very stable. I learned not to restart the samba process during the middle of the day when everyone's got files open ;-). I had some legacy printing issues (dos app printing to Netware LPT1: port mapping, worked in Netware) which I could never get to print just so using Linux CUPS, so I just have them print direct.

Re: [Samba] Newbie looking to move from Netware to Linux/Samba
You will most likely run into the infamous archive bit problem with MS Word (if you use it there) and a few other applications, so I'll save you the scratching of your head and suggest you read my solution after you get your server up and running: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-September/125314.html The short short version is that archive bits on Samba and some applications don't play well together. Since many backup software packages rely on this to determine if something needs to be backed up, you need to be aware of it and know the solution ahead of time. Good luck.

[Samba] Newbie questions?
I have the book, "The Official Samba-3 Howto and Reference Guide" and I'm trying to get 3.0.22 running on Aix 5.2. All I want to do is setup some file sharing at the moment and map a drive from an XP pc to a directory on Aix. We have a Windows domain setup, the domain name is mobot.org. The Aix server is named mobot. I've been searching through the archives for "NT_Status_Bad_Network_Name" and "NT_Status_Logon_Failure". And, I see examples of smb.conf files that look quite a bit different from what's in the book. Would some one point me to a good example of an smb.conf file for an Aix box in a Windows domain? And, how do you handle user names longer than eight characters? For example, on the Aix box my user name is westmore, in the Windows domain it's mwestmoreland. Right now I can't map a drive from my XP pc to a share on the Aix box. \\mobot\tmp returns "The network path cannot be found." I've tried connecting using a different user name "westmore" from my XP pc, but get the same message. I've added my Aix account name "westmore" to the Samba password file. I added this line to my /etc/ services file "swat 901/tcp" and these lines to my /etc/inetd.conf file and rebooted the server. netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /opt/Samba/3.0.22/sbin/smbd smbd netbios-ns dgram upd wait root /opt/Samba/3.0.22/sbin/nmbd nmbd swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /opt/Samba/3.0.22/sbin/swat swat The SWAT utility tells me the smbd and nmbd daemons are running. But, when I use ps -ef | grep smbd, I don't see a process ID. This makes me wonder if the daemons are really running. I'd expect to see a process id returned from the grep command. Is there a particular section of the book I should be reading like 2.3.2 Domain Member Server? Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Samba] Samba newbie question
Your situtation seems close to mine awhile back. I could only access the share using the ip address for the host. After starting windbindd the samba server started showing up in the network places/neighborhood. I have not seen any documentation that states that windbind needs to be running in this simple setup and I don't remember any replies to my request to fix and/or understand this problem. Hope this helps though.

[Samba] newbie question reguarding kerberos tickets
I recently joined a samba 3.0.22 server to AD. When I did the kinit, the AD gave me a 24 hour ticket with a 1 week renewal. Setting -r and -l to 365d did not change anything, the ticket still came back the same. However, my question is in reguard to whether this is really even needed? First, I deleted the ticket, and everything seemed to continue to work perfectly. Now, I let the ticket expire for a couple of weeks now, and yet, the samba server is working fine and users still authenticate against AD just fine. Am I missing something, or is the creation of that ticket not even needed?

[Samba] newbie : mapping problem between linux and samba users
Hello
I have a mapping problem between linux and samba users
logged as a domain user steph under windows, I try to update the
password but a message like
"you don't have the right to do that operation" appeals.
Logged as root I can do it.
When I dismiss the synchronisation between linux and windows users,
it works !!
I have also noticed that I can only make mapping between pre defined
windows
with "net groupmap set" and not "net groupmap add sid= unixgroup= "
which started to fail each time.
(don t know if it s a normal behaviour)
So I have though it was due to a problem in my tdb database file and I
run a check tools giving no problem.
So I put here my mappings :
System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1
Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1
Guests (S-1-5-32-546) -> -1
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-3113648812-2111614216-3829755549-512) -> root
Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-3113648812-2111614216-3829755549-514) -> -1
Power Users (S-1-5-32-547) -> users
Print Operators (S-1-5-32-550) -> -1
Administrators (S-1-5-32-544) -> -1
Account Operators (S-1-5-32-548) -> -1
Backup Operators (S-1-5-32-551) -> -1
Users (S-1-5-32-545) -> -1
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-3113648812-2111614216-3829755549-513) -> users
the logs I have obtained (noticing there is a problem with a share
secret between the window host and the server but which secret ? a
secret for trusted domain ?? no relation with my problem !!!) :

[Samba] Newbie: Directory Not Accessible
I am a newbie to samba. I have successfully setup a similar samba share on 1 machine in the past. I have everything setup as User access with the pcguest as a guest account. If I create a share to the /tmp, network users can access normally. I created a directory /var/snd and set permissions to be rwxrwxrwx. I changed the smb.conf so that permission were identical to the share for /tmp. I restarted samba. But, Windows XP network users cannot access this public share (while they can still hit the share to /tmp). Both shares are visible on the network. This has got to be obvious to others, but I don't get it. It has to be a security setting. I can post the smb.conf here, but it is so basic, that it would probably be meaningless. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Newbie: Samba Directory Security Issue
I am pretty much a samba newbie. In the past, I have created a share like this without a problem, but my troubleshooting skills with samba are minimal as I have minimal experience. I am trying to create a user share (using the pcguest user) that is wide open to the network. The directory is /var/snd. Network users on Windows can see the folder, but get the general permission denied when trying to access it. I created a share to the /tmp and had NO problems accessing it from the Windows boxes. Then, I changed the smb configuration for the /tmp to point to /var/snd and I still could not access it. Directory permissions are RWXRWXRWX. pcguest is uid 98 gid 99 This has to be obvious to others... but I am not seeing it. smb.conf: workgroup = Rad server string = Rdell hosts allow = 192.168.0. 192.168.10. printcap name = /etc/printcap guest account = pcguest log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = user socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 domain master = no dns proxy = no winbind uid = 16777216-33554431 winbind gid = 16777216-33554431 restrict anonymous = no preferred master = no netbios name = Rdell max protocol = NT ldap ssl = No server signing = Auto map to guest = Bad User guest ok = yes force user = pcguest inherit acls = yes case sensitive = no msdfs proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes printable = yes [snd] read only = no path = /var/snd guest only = yes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

I'm confident you'll find it a great operating system - robust, scalable, extensible, etc. It'll do all you want, and more. Samba is an excellent tool for making Linux shares available to Windows clients. The two Samba references that Craig mentioned above are excellent, and should be your starting point; they're well-written and very thorough (as always, thanks John T., and all the Samba team). Now, I'm guilty of this too, at times, but do read the Samba reference guides. Then, use this mailing list. I don't want to do the whole love-fest thing here (well, ok, yes I do), but this list's members are among the most patient and helpful I've found. So, do use their knowledge, but use it wisely.

Hello, I am new to SAMBA and Linux and need help finding documentation on the setup and how to integrate SAMBA and LDAP with Windows based clients. I have done a lot of looking around and found a lot of information, but it all seems to be written for someone with some knowledge of both software packages. I did pickup two Linux Admin books from Tech Republic and they are helpful. But they seem to be missing parts that I guess someone with more knowledge then myself would know. I guess I should give you a little background on myself. I am a Network Engineer with 21 year of Microsoft experience. In the past few years I have been getting fed up with MS forcing me to upgrade all me servers just because just want to sell a new OS. So I have begun looking into LINUX.

Right now, our users have to authenticate three times - once into Active Directory, once into Linux and then, finally, into the application itself.

Hello, I was wondering how this configuration could be accomplished with in Linux/Samba. I'm running samaba 3/Gentoo/Linux 2.6. I have two hard drives, each of them I'm sharing across my network. The problem is each drive is shown as its own share. So drive 1 one is seen as share 1 and drive 2 is seen as share 2. My question is how to combine the shares into one. So it would be drive 1 and drive 2 would be seen as share 1.

[Samba] Newbie question about security
Dear Samba users, I have just set up a home network consisting of two XP computers and a linux box running FC4. The linux box is currently acting as my webserver. The whole network lies behind a router (belkin) with a hardware firewall and each of the computers are running software firewalls. OK all is well and everything works. I wish to use my XP pc to edit files on the linux webserver, so i figured that samba was the right option. I have it set up and can access my files on the webserver. I am just concerned about security. On the XP machines we do not use a password to login so I have had to set the samba password to no characters in order to access the samba share. Since the only machines on the local network are trustworthy (ie I control them and only me and my wife have direct console access) IS THIS A SAFE SITUATION, can anyone get to my samba share from outside the local network? I have restricted access to the IP addresses of my two loacl machines on a 192.168.2. type network. The only two ports that are specifically open to my linux box from the outside world are 80 for the webserver and 22 for ssh access. Any ideas suggestions are appreciated. Can I use a password to access my samba share without having to use a password in windows???

[Samba] Newbie configuration Q
Hi, I need a v simple samba setup in order to share files between a Windows AD network (W2003 server) and a SCO Unix box. Samba is installed, albeit the oldish version which comes on the SCO CD - v2.2 IIRC. A user (any user) can login to unix, run a program which generates a file in the /shared folder. This needs to be accessible to a program which runs in windows from anyone's PC (or from a background task on the server). I'm not concerned about security - I don't mind if everyone on the network has RW access to /shared. I've managed to get it to work using authentication - ie. I've generated an smbpasswd file, created the user (pcuser) in unix and smb, set use encypted passwords = yes, and manually logged in from the Windows box as pcuser and can see /shared OK. What I'd like to do is open the /shared up to anybody so that it doesn't need any authentication. Is this possible? thanks for any tips -Rob -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] newbie help, please?
Re my earlier posting today: A little more work and persistence finally paid off. My problem turned out to be the firewall on the Samba server running Fedora. After going back to the aarly chapters in the book and doing some basic pings and telnets to the ports in question it became clear what was going on. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

[Samba] newbie help, please?
Hi, I'm trying to get a Samba (version 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3) to play with some WinXP boxes. I'm using WORKGROUPS, not DOMAIN. The server is running under Fedora Core 3. And I'm following the troubleshooting chapter in the O'Reilly book, Chapter 9. I cannot browse the shares from my WinXP machine. I CAN browse and access shares okay as a client on the Samba server machine. I may have a combination of network and/or authentiation problems. I keep getting an "Error 5: Network path was not found" when attempting to see my "tmp" share on the server from the WinXP client. Googling this error tells me that it's an authentication problem. I have password encryption turned on in smb.conf. And I have the identical username/password on the linux box and the WinXP box. And I have the same username/password set in the Samba password file via smbpasswd. Even setting the password to null for a samba user doesn't work. On another note, I'm thinking address resolution isn't working correctly. When I attempt a "nmblookup -B clientname '*' (where I type in "europa" for the clientmame) I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]$ nmblookup -B europa '*' querying * on 192.168.1.104 name_query failed to find name * (I have europa entered in my linux/samba server's /etc/hosts file.) This is supposed to indicate a spelling error, or the client software on the PC isn't installed, started or bound to TCP/IP. My smb.conf file has: [global] # no printers for now load printers = no # map drive logon drive = S: # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = jupiter server string = SambaServer ; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.0.0.1 hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. # this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine # that connects log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log # all log information in one file # log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.log # Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb). max log size = 50 # You may wish to use password encryption.

[Samba] [newbie] SQUID/SAMBA problems with NTLM_Auth
Hello, I havn't gotten an answer over on the squid usergroup - so I'm hoping someone can help me here. SUSE - 9.1 SQUID - 2.5.STABLE5 SAMBA - 3.0.2a-SUSE (the one that came with SUSE Installer by YAST) I have set up squid, samba, got the winbind to work great Wbinfo -t, -u, -g all work great Squid also worked great until I tried to tie in NTLM_Auth If I authenticate using /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --username=administrator It authenticates perfectly.
