Re: [Samba] Re: Samba Question
Worth noting: The 3.0.x recommendation regarding nscd is that you /do not run it at all/. Though I think that might only apply when you're using winbindd, you might want to take a look at your nscd process to see if it's notably busy. It was on our server, taking up half of one of the CPUs. Very bad. So I turned nscd off. --Dragon Gerry Maddock wrote: Got it working. I had to restart nscd service. Nscd was not reflecting the group entries. Ok, it seems to be an LDAP problem. for some reason linux isnt reading the ldap groups, even though /etc/nsswitch.conf states groups = files ldap Here is my problem: I ran smbldap-groupadd TEST to create the group test.

[Samba] Re: Samba Question
This is not a SAMBA isssue but a workstation issue. Chances are, Windows is trying to connect as whatever user you are logged into the machine as. Example, if you log in to the machine as user 1, windows sends user1 as it's authentication information with each communication. If you have one SMB connection to a computer as user1, Windows will not allow you to make another SMB connection as user2 until the first is disconnected. If you want to specify that WIndows is to connect with a different username in the case of mapping a drive, try: net use drive letter \\server\share /user:username Once again, this will not work if you are already have a drive or printer mapped to that server as another user. This will not work on 9x or ME. Your only option on 9x is to reboot and log in as a different user. Also, for future reference, please always include your server os, client os, samba version, smb.conf file, any other pertinent information, and a subject that gives some clue to what your problem may be. Since you are posting to a SAMBA group, we know that you have a problem with SAMBA. For this, Can only connect as one user or something of that nature would be appropriate. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Re: Samba Question
I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 so software install will be quite different and rather trivial. My first step involved making sure the DC's were in /etc/hosts with shortname entries. Next I installed openldap22, then heimdal-kerberos (found some post about this being the better/preferred version). When I installed krb5 I made sure to include with-ldap as a config option (this was the real solution). Finally I installed Samba 3.0b3 and it worked. The crazy part was when I forgot to add the config flag for krb5, ADS support was compiled in, but the krb5 keys didn't work right. So all the'net ads lookup' stuff worked, but I couldn't get the right creds to join the domain. The krb5 recompile solved it. If you need more info, just ask. Thanks, Will I read your post, and the error messages you were getting on the 'net join' command are pretty much the exact thing I'm getting. Can you please elaborate on what you did to fix it? What version/dist. of kerberos, what flags to compile it? I'm using SuSE 8.2 professional, samba 3.0 b3, and have been trying the MIT version of kerberos (1.3.1). -- Will Froning Unix Sys. Admin.

--- Scott Wrosch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A question I'm sure has been answered before, but I'm still relatively new to Samba, and having just moved, have not been able to locate any of my Samba reference materials. Anyways, I'm running a small Samba server at work using RedHat Linux 7.3. I did not set up Samba during the RedHat installation, but rather downloaded it and installed it afterwards. Anyways, the network uses a Windows 2000 Server as the PDC. And we have various groups set up in the server. What I want to do is set up a share that can be accessible only by the members of a specific group that's already created in the Active Directory setup. Can this be done? It should be possible using Winbind if your 2000 server is running in mixed mode. Follow the directions here: http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#WINBIND I installed RedHat 7.3 and used the samba rpm downloaded from a samba FTP site. I had to add winbind to the nsswitch.conf, then I added the winbind settings to smb.conf, and then I started the winbind service. That was about it. I tested it with getent group, which showed all of our NT groups. Good. Then I could run this: chown -R 'DOMAIN\USER'.'DOMAIN\GROUP' /share/point find /share/point -type d -printf \%p\\n | xargs chmod 770 # Isn't there a better way to do this??? find /share/point -type f -printf \%p\\n | xargs chmod 660 We implemented ACLs into the kernel and Samba but despite the claims of the authors, we're not sure if they are stable (we might be having other problems, though, and are trying to track them down). ACLs allow you to add more than one NT global group to a file. Good luck, /dev/idal __ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
