RE: [Samba] home folders query

2005-11-30 Thread Strebel, Franz R.
there should be no problem setting up home folders on a non-pdc samba server. i have such a setup and it works without any problems. as long as you get account authentication working between the file server and the pdc, it should work. check out the special share [homes] in the samba

You may want to look at the netbios aliases smb.conf option instead. Hope this helps. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

RE: [Samba] samba as AD member server - IP address / hostname change

2005-11-18 Thread Strebel, Franz R.
i've successfully used the netbios alias option in smb.conf to pull off something similar. when i took off serverA for maintenance, i transferred the data to serverB and just added serverA as an alias in serverB's config. you may want to look into that instead of fiddling around with ip

[Samba] issues with winbindd

2005-11-16 Thread Strebel, Franz R.
Would anyone have an idea why a group listing returned by wbinfo would be different from the one returned by the native groups command? Also, it turns out that the listing from wbinfo is incorrect. Has anyone else seen this before? I'm running 3.0.20b with my machine in an NT 4.0 domain.

RE: [Samba] is this a DNS resolution problem ? bad news

From what I know, if your PDC is on a different subnet, then the PCs won't be able to see it. This is a limitation of netbios and is addressed by having a WINS server. I haven't followed your problem entirely but I suppose that now that your server has 2 interfaces, it is able to listen to

Netbios name resolution does not work across subnets so I am guessing that that is causing the problem. Using the IP address does not have this issue. There are two ways to deal with this: 1. have a WINS server 2. put appropriate entries in the LMHOSTS file More info can be found here:
