[Samba] need help with samba4 sharing files with mac osx 10.8.3
Hi here is a little up of my last message : Having an issue on my new samba4 AD I was able to set it up, joint windows clients and share folder. Also as i work in a mixed environmment i have some mac osx clients, that i was able to koint on domaine. The problem is that i can not write to my samba share from mac clients. the mac seems to understand the file permissions as i can view/edit them from file info. i simply can not write to any smb share. is there a work around on samba 4 special for mac clients ? any help is very apréciate :) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Hey Volker, thanks for the reply. Can you explain for really stupid people what this does and where the problem is? Here's what the perl code is doing: 1) In a loop... 1.1) Write a file to the local disk, using a random filename and 5 random floats followed by a newline as the content. 1.2) chown the file so that the samba mount user can read it 1.3) Read that file from a cifs mount of that very same local disk location, hosted by samba 1.4) Compare the written content versus the read content, exiting if they are different. 1.5) Delete the temp file What I see is that most of the time the samba-provided version of the file is identical, but sometimes it's not. When it's not, the content appears to be the contents of the previously read (and now deleted!) temp file. In some failure cases it's a truncated version of the previously read file. It's definitely not a perl issue since after the script croaks, I can cat the file on both the local disk and the samba share and the results are different: # cat /grid/samba_stress_test/85fsYXTNhJ 0.9504576548397450.9504576548397450.9504576548397450.9504576548397450.950457654839745 # cat /root/grid/samba_stress_test/85fsYXTNhJ 0.5406506065286610.5406506065286610.5406506065286610.5406506065286610.540650606528661 Also, I am a little confused about the scenario In this test, I did a self-mount to rule out Windows. If you want I can try to write this test using Windows instead of the cifs module. But I'm pretty sure it's not the cifs module, since in our real system, we're obviously not doing a self-mount like this. Instead we're mounting the CentOs samba share on a Windows machine. In this case what we're seeing is a failure to unzip a file because it's truncated -- same symptom. What perhaps we didn't notice at the time is that maybe the truncated content that we do get is also wrong -- didn't check this. It might help if you could send us an strace of that script producing the error together with a network trace. I did the following: # tshark -p -w wireshark.out port 445 or port 139 # strace perl samba_stress_test.pl strace.txt 21 Let me know if that's wrong. I'll attach the gzip'd files. Skip past all the successes to see the failure at the very end.

[Samba] Need help with file corruption issue
Hi all,
I've run into an issue and am wondering if folks can give some advice
on how to resolve it.
Basically Samba appears to be getting confused, providing some other
file's contents.
Initially I saw this on a Windows host that has mounted a share from
CentOs, but I've been able to repro it on the CentOs host using a
self-mount.
Here's my test script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use File::Temp qw( tempfile );
use strict;
$| = 1;
my $local_grid_share = '/grid/samba_stress_test';
my $mounted_grid_share = '/root/grid/samba_stress_test';
while (1) {
my $content1 = rand() x 5 . \n;
my ($fh, $filepath) = tempfile( DIR = $local_grid_share );
print $fh $content1;
close $fh;
system(chown xen $filepath);
my ($filename) = $filepath =~ /.*\/(.*)/;
print \n$filename... ;
if (-f $mounted_grid_share/$filename) {
open IN, $mounted_grid_share/$filename;
local $/ = undef;
my $content2 = IN;
close IN;
if ($content1 eq $content2) {
print Same!\n$filepath :
$content1$mounted_grid_share/$filename: $content2;
} else {
print Different!\n$filepath :
$content1$mounted_grid_share/$filename: $content2;
exit;
}
} else {
print File is missing!\n;
exit;
}
unlink $filepath;
}
Here's the mount command and an illustration of the problem:
# ifconfig | grep inet.addr | grep -v 127.0.0.1
inet addr:10.0.0.11 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
# mount -t cifs -ousername=the_user,password=the_password
//10.0.0.11/grid /root/grid
# mkdir /grid/samba_stress_test; chown xen /grid/samba_stress_test
# perl samba_stress_test.pl
snip a lot of successful comparisons
udCVYFNkc5... Same!
/grid/samba_stress_test/udCVYFNkc5 :
0.07392498237819470.07392498237819470.07392498237819470.07392498237819470.0739249823781947

uETPmRzm99... Different!
/grid/samba_stress_test/uETPmRzm99 :
0.9774832438332160.9774832438332160.9774832438332160.9774832438332160.977483243833216
/root/grid/samba_stress_test/uETPmRzm99:
0.07392498237819470.07392498237819470.07392498237819470.07392498237819470.073924982378#
So the new file supposedly has the content of the previous *deleted*
file. Note that sometimes the content is truncated. (See above -- the
# for the next prompt is at the end of the previous line because
there's no newline).
If I re-share the mount that's on the Windows machine, and mount it in
this Linux machine, then it consistently repros on the second
iteration. With a little effort I can get the file from the Windows
machine and compare it, if that's helpful.

Hello all, I am struggling to get share permissions to work properly. I am currently using samba 3.6.3 with AD integration. I want to force the following permissions: - created/renamed/copied directories: 0770 - created/renamed/copied files: 0660 - file permissions should not be editable by Windows users. I have tried a lot of different combinations of parameters but failed to get the desired permissions. Most of the time I end up with 0660 for newly created files and 0750 for newly created directories. When I rename a just created directory permission changes to 0770.

The : force directory mode = 0770 directory mask = 0770 setting should do the trick. Are you also storing the DOS attributes in EA's ? You probably also need that to prevent UNIX permission modification. Try adding: store dos attributes = yes map readonly = no map system = no map hidden = no map archive = no and re-test creating a new directory.

[Samba] Need help getting colour printing features restricted to a specific group

However, this error is found all over the internet and rarely do you ever see a fix for it. When I have seen one, it's not a fix that works for me. To make matters worse, Microsoft stamped a Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the products specified on WinXP and Samba. Microsoft has no fix, they have tried many times before, and as it now stands, appears to be disinterested in providing a hot fix due to the remaining shelf life of XP. Any support you get form Microsoft on this particular issue is what they call a best effort, and do not guarantee a fix like they do with their own products. For anyone that wants to play around with this, here's the config: All static IPs Workgroup only, no domain Solaris with Samba loaded, a few shares, enabled as WINS server, configured as Master Browser No DNS server XP has WINS setting pointing at Samba box, hosts file used instead of DNS, lmjosts file NTO in use because of WINS on Samba, XP's Computer Browser service disabled to force XP to see Samba box as master browser (otherwise will elect itself as master browser and totally ignore Samba) Behavior: WinXP can map to any resource on Samba with zero problems - it is not a permissions issue. Attempting to browse to a Samba resource, however, produces The specified network name is no longer available in XP. If Computer Browser service enabled on XP, XP may or may not be able to browse to Samba box (this is entirely unstable, because within 15 minutes, if XP has elected itself as master browser, XP will eventually time out and lose the server list, and Specified network no longer available error returns). Never, is WinXP able to retrieve the browse list from Samba. Microsoft claims that this is because the network configuration is too simplified and because real WINS and DNS servers are not in use. All we're trying to do is get one stinkin' XP workstation to talk to one stinkin' Samba box in a simple workgroup. That's it. So far, it's got everyone that looks at this problem absolutely baffled as to how this could not work. Those who have looked at it and given up: Microsoft US Air Force US Marine Corps Various private military contractors Samba email list group (best support so far, but still no dice) Again, thanks to all who have tried figuring this out. I know I haven't given you much to work with, so don't feel bad. It's just that I have simply run out of time to get this resolved.

Re: [Samba] Need Help Getting Windows XP To Use Samba Properly
Thanks, Chris. The only WINS server we're attempting to use is Samba itself. We are not using lmhosts. Samba is verified to be properly hosting WINS, as there are two instances running (would be only one if WINS wasn't being hosted) and like I said, everything runs great if using a Windows 2000 workstation against the Solaris/Samba server. No NetBIOS scopes or anything like that, not erven using DHCP - just static IPs on a local workgroup. Just a very simple, no-frills networking setup. You guys are awesome, keep the ideas coming.

However, it did allow Windows XP to force itself to use the Samba server as the master browser without having to disable the Computer Browser service, which is what I had been doing. So that was nice. Any other suggestions? If you have a WINS server that the system is registering with you shouldn't need an lmhosts file - although as long as they don't contradict you would be fine. FYI, possibly the absolute dumbest UI decision ever was Microsoft's one to hide file extensions for known file types. Many users think they have a perfectly fine lmhosts file when they have a useless lmhosts.sam or lmhosts.txt file instead. You can examine the wins.dat file on the WINS server host to determine if the XP system is registering itself. Outside possibility - NetBIOS Scope - which allows for some (il)logical type of NetBIOS subnetting. It possible that the XP system has been setup to respond to a particular NetBIOS scope ID (although I haven't seen such a setup in use for eons). I do admit to always adding an - option netbios-scope ; - to my dhcpd server to eliminate this tattoo from the registry. You can also manually check it at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\ScopeID If there's any value there delete it (unless you're using a Scope ID, then make it match).

Well, here's what's happening. Microsoft Tech Support confirms that this is a problem with Windows XP. There is no fix, and I don't expect one coming considering XP's end of life in 2012. All Microsoft has are workarounds. Microsoft's recommendations are to add more servers to the mix (DNS, WINS, etc) and if that doesn't work, then one of their several workarounds is to dump the use of Samba altogether. None of the proposed workarounds work for us, we're locked into a specific configuration.

Re: [Samba] Need Help Getting Windows XP To Use Samba Properly
Brian, Excellent response, thanks for giving me things to consider and check. Yes, NetBIOS over TCPIP is enabled on XP. Also, XP is set to use the Samba box as WINS server. Using nbtstat -r and NetMon, I have discovered that WinXP is not acknowledging the broadcasts from the Samba box. Windows 2000, on the other hand, recognizes them just fine, so I know the Samba box is configured correctly. If the Computer Browser service is enabled in XP, XP will elect itself as the master browser because it doesn't acknowledge the Samba box's server broadcasts. But I can't have XP doing that, the Samba box MUST be seen as the master for my mission-critical needs. Windows 2000 has no problems with this.

Re: [Samba] Need Help Getting Windows XP To Use Samba Properly
Chris, thanks for the reply and good idea. The problem that browstat status (MS support tools for XP) reveals is that XP does see the Samba server as the master browser but is unable to pull down the browse list from Samba. Anybody know how to fix the problem of XP not being able to get the browse list from Samba?

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 You can set the logs to level 10 using the params in the manual for smb.conf. Also a neat trick, though, is to include the config file smb.conf.%m, which may or may not exist for all machine names, and include the debug parameter in there.

If you have a WINS server that the system is registering with you shouldn't need an lmhosts file - although as long as they don't contradict you would be fine. FYI, possibly the absolute dumbest UI decision ever was Microsoft's one to hide file extensions for known file types. Many users think they have a perfectly fine lmhosts file when they have a useless lmhosts.sam or lmhosts.txt file instead. You can examine the wins.dat file on the WINS server host to determine if the XP system is registering itself. Outside possibility - NetBIOS Scope - which allows for some (il)logical type of NetBIOS subnetting. It possible that the XP system has been setup to respond to a particular NetBIOS scope ID (although I haven't seen such a setup in use for eons). I do admit to always adding an - option netbios-scope ; - to my dhcpd server to eliminate this tattoo from the registry. You can also manually check it at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\ScopeID If there's any value there delete it (unless you're using a Scope ID, then make it match).

Re: [Samba] Need Help Getting Windows XP To Use Samba Properly
John, First, thank you for the response. I'll take any help I can get. Yes, I do have WINS enabled on the Samba box. Do I set WinXP to use the Samba box as the WINS server? If so, then I have already tried this and it didn't work. Other details: I do not use a DNS server, I use the hosts file in XP. The Samba box and the WinXP box simply share a worgroup name. Trying to keep this as simplistic as possible. Also, the Computer Browser service is disabled in XP - this is to force WinXP to use the Samba server as the master browser, and is the method I used in Win2K which worked great. In XP, however, it produces the error Network name is no longer available. Enabling the service causes XP to elect itself as the master browser and ignore the Samba box (which I want to be master browser like it was with Win2K). This improves things SOMETIMES - the Network name error still pops up half the time, meaning network browsing of the Samba box from XP went from 100% broken to Cross your fingers. REALLY desperate to get this working. MAJOR thanks to anyone who can help me with this, especially since the internet is loaded with people who have posted for help on this problem and no solutions follow. -Original Message- From: John Drescher [mailto:dresche...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 12:01 PM To: Hodges, Robert CTR USAF AFMC 520 SMXS/MXDEC Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Need Help Getting Windows XP To Use Samba Properly On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 1:39 PM, Hodges, Robert CTR USAF AFMC 520 SMXS/MXDEC robert.hodges@hill.af.mil wrote: Hi everyone, new to the list.

Re: [Samba] Need help compiling Samba on Solaris
Documentation on samba.org is a little iffy - stuff involving domain trusts and idmap has really been thin. I had to rely on google searches to find info on changes for idmap between 3.0.x and 3.4.x Are you using a WINS server? Active Directory does not require one- and I suspect Samba 3 as a ADS domain member might not either, but may help fix browsing issue. Did you specify the workgroup in smb.conf? That may also help. Was a computer account created in AD for your samba machine? A google search at some point found a solaris or opensolaris forum blurb about ldap. Sun's samba build using Sun LDAP client with some work arounds.Otherwise openldap is the default. When you run configure, it will say which ldap features are supported. Effectively, if you want AD support you need openldap. I think Win 2008 R2 may increase security levels compared to Win 2008.I think it is safe to assume samba 3.0.x is not Win 2008 R2 compatible.

If the user then logs into a windows PC, does he use MyPassword1 or MyPassword2? What happens if you use smbpasswd -R 10.8.54.120 instead?

Re: [Samba] Need help in samba configuration
I haven't tried it, but you should be able to join more than one domain. It's not trivial. Unlike Windows, you can make a Samba server appear as more than one server at the same time. You'd basically have to run multiple instances of Samba completely independent of each other. Each instance would need a different IP address, host name, smb.conf, and directory for the various other files Samba uses. -Original Message- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba- boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Gaiseric Vandal Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 5:50 AM To: pankaj.c.pim...@relianceada.com; samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Need help in samba configuration I have never tried unjoining a domain.

If the user then logs into a windows PC, does he use MyPassword1 or MyPassword2? What happens if you use smbpasswd -R 10.8.54.120 instead? It seems like you have created local Windows accounts on the Samba server, so that when you connect to the samba share you are using the DEVVM\username credentials instead of the RIC_F2M credentials. The purpose of having a Windows or Samba machine as a member of the domain is so that you do NOT need to create accounts for each user on each domain member. (Typically a Windows or Samba domain member will still have a local Administrator account, and may have a local Users group and local Administrators group.) For Samba, you still need the local unix users and groups. All going well you shouldn't need to have all the domain users in the usermap file- but it shouldn't hurt. -Original Message- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba- boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of pankaj.c.pim...@relianceada.com Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 2:20 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Need help in samba configuration We have ClearCase database on unix and users on windows.

[Samba] need help on daylight saving time issue.
Hi, I am in Australian. Now it is daylight saving time in Australian. I have daysaving time issue on samba client as below. On AIX server, I get the following two files's modified time via command istat. /zytest/file1 (Modified time:Fri Sep 18 12:07:37 EST 2009) /zytest/file1 (Modified time:Sun Nov 1 13:42:16 EDT 2009) On samba client Windows machine, the modified time is as follows Name SizeType Date Modified file1 1 KB File 18/09/2009 1:07 PM file2 0 KB File 1/11/2009 1:42 PM For file1, there is a 1 hour discrepancy on modified time shown on AIX server and samba client. The file1 was modified before the daylight saving date began, while the file2 was modified after daylight saving date began. The AIX timezone environment variable TZ is EET-10EETDT,M10.1.0/02:00,M4.1.0/03:00, which is correct. I even upgraded samba from 3.0 to 3.4.2 on AIX 5.3, but the issue is persistent.

Re: [Samba] need help on daylight saving time issue.
On AIX server, I get the following two files's modified time via command istat. /zytest/file1 (Modified time:Fri Sep 18 12:07:37 EST 2009) /zytest/file1 (Modified time:Sun Nov 1 13:42:16 EDT 2009) Note that file1 is in the EST timezone (GMT+10) and the second file1 (file2?) is in the EDT timezone (GMT+11 during daylight saving.) For file1, there is a 1 hour discrepancy on modified time shown on AIX server and samba client. Not if you take into account the different timezones. The file1 was modified before the daylight saving date began, while the file2 was modified after daylight saving date began. The AIX timezone environment variable TZ is EET-10EETDT,M10.1.0/02:00,M4.1.0/03:00, which is correct. Evidently your filesystem also stores the timezone, which is why the two files have different timezones on them. It would seem that the current behaviour is correct - file1, although modified before daylight saving started, is being reported as though daylight saving was in effect at the time.

Can I just restart nmbd and smbd to run the new version? What happens to connected users if I restart nmbd and smbd? You could. Your users would get (optimistically) momentarily disconnected. The windows offline files balloon pops up or a message no longer connected to 2. Will I need to change anything in smb.conf? Probably. I know some of the defaults have changed, but I don't have a list handy. 3. Will any of the samba databases (users) get destroyed/erased/ changed? Shouldn't, but someone else would have to say definitively. I've personally wiped and reinitialized most of them several times only keeping the private tdb files secrets passdb while regenerating the printer tdb's and mappings. Sorry for all the questions, I'm just nervous about creating a big mess during the upgrade. If it's at all possible, your best course is to setup a test machine (real or virtual) and test the new version in your current setup by joining it to your domain and connecting from users. Alternatively, duplicate the existing OS samba version with a different machine name and perform the upgrade on it. Your experience doing that is the only real way to self answer some of your questions and make the production upgrade as smooth as possible.

For example, can't connect could mean connection refused or connection timed out -- completely different problems. Provide ALL information if you want a good answer. Sometimes folks will think they can help, but can't be bothered to draw this information out and will ignore the message. If it is running via inetd, you should not expect to see swat. Look for messages in your syslog/messages file. Look at the documentation for SWAT to see if there is a debug mode to launch it in (probably an option you'd throw in inetd). inetd does not require a reboot, just a kill - -HUP/kill -1 or on some platforms inetd -c. There are other ways. Make sure SWAT is listening on 127.0.0.1. It may be listening only on your machine's public interface. Some things to start you off.

No, I'm new to solaris, so maybe I'm not doing something that should be done prior to trying to use SWAT. Samba does seem to be working, somewhat. I can connect to a share using the smbclient on the same solaris system that I installed samba onbut I cannot connect to the share on the solaris system with my Windows XP system. Since it is part of a domain, it's possible that the sysadmins may have some sort of AD policy in affect that is preventing me from connecting to the solaris system's Windows-compatible resources. So, until I try at home, I can't say definitively that Windows to Samba functionality isn't working at all. It just isn't working from my Windows client to my Solaris Samba network shares. But the smbclient program does connect to the shares successfully. But no matter what I do, I cannot get SWAT to work. I've read the FAQ's and HOWTO's; I can't find anything on troubleshooting SWAT problems. Maybe I don't have inetd setup properly? Or maybe there is something else I've missed. I could really use some help. Can't get SWAT to work is very non-specific. It does not tell me what to say for you to lead off with. You need to try the standard UNIX tests (telnet to the port it's supposed to be running on, etc.) and see what exactly is not happening. - -- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/AST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHhPfxmb+gadEcsb4RAp4SAJ9LR/aStf5pAhkzCJhGTitN4u4zywCfeWMt v8TdqqnY7yNhamQ1YD4C1RU= =43rv -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

As for documentation on swat, there is precious little of it that I could find. No significant details or detailed explanations of swat command line options or information about any swat logfiles. I checked all the files in /var/log (including all iterations of syslog) and no entries mentioning swat. Nor could I find (or find any mention of in any doc) any swat configuration file. There is an smb.conf but that is for samba configuration (I also could not find a man page or doc that describes and explains ALL of the various entries that can be put into the smb.conf file).

[Samba] Need help with SWAT
No matter what I try, I cannot get SWAT to work. No, I'm new to solaris, so maybe I'm not doing something that should be done prior to trying to use SWAT. Samba does seem to be working, somewhat. I can connect to a share using the smbclient on the same solaris system that I installed samba onbut I cannot connect to the share on the solaris system with my Windows XP system. Since it is part of a domain, it's possible that the sysadmins may have some sort of AD policy in affect that is preventing me from connecting to the solaris system's Windows-compatible resources. So, until I try at home, I can't say definitively that Windows to Samba functionality isn't working at all. It just isn't working from my Windows client to my Solaris Samba network shares. But the smbclient program does connect to the shares successfully. But no matter what I do, I cannot get SWAT to work. I've read the FAQ's and HOWTO's; I can't find anything on troubleshooting SWAT problems. Maybe I don't have inetd setup properly? Or maybe there is something else I've missed. I could really use some help. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
