[Samba] Using pam_winbind and nss_winbind with active directory UPN

Hi, I'm using a samba 3.2.15 connected to active directory Windows 2003 server. I've been successfully using pam_winbind and nss_winbind for integrating ftp. Recently I've been asked to support users who log on using UPN (u...@domain.com instead of DOMAIN\user). PAM fails authenticating using thi

[Samba] Server signing

Hi, Assuming I'm concerned primarily with interoperability, is there a reason NOT to set "server signing = auto"? Could it cause things NOT to work? (I assume it could since the default is disabled) Thanks, Uri. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to t

[Samba] Win7 blue screen when accessing a previous version of a share

Hi, I have Samba server ver 3.2.15, and a share set up with previous versions (the shadow_copy2 vfs module). The server has been patched to support previous versions in Win7 - a bug that's been fixed in more recent versions of Samba. Using a specific file set and Win7 Explorer, I right-click o

[Samba] Oplocks - when do they help

Hi, I googled around and the general wisdom seems to be that oplocks provide a performance gain if files are accessed by a single client at a time (that is, if the oplock does not break). What I can't figure out is what test can show this performance gain. I mean, theoretically, document-edit

[Samba] Authenticating non-member client by an ADS member server with a local user

Hi, I have a Samba 3.2.6 ads member server, named myserver, with a local user user1. I try to login to the server using a WinXP non-member client. If on the "login" popup I enter "user1", login fails. If I enter "myserver\user1", login succeeds. Same setup on a WinXP member server, login succeed

[Samba] samba 3.2.1 build system not honoring CFLAGS

Hi, I was compiling samba 3.2.1 and noticed that the Makefile doesn't use the CFLAGS I gave it. After digging into the configure script I came up with this patch. I know configure is generated from configure.in, but I was also unable to run it through my autoconf 2.62 (tried it on another machi
