I had installed Centos 5.4 , then upgraded to 5.5 hoping that new version has samba 3.5.x. However the updated Centos 64-bit 5.5 also has Samba 3.0.33-3.28.el5.
How can I update samba at least to Samba 3.0.37 ? The reason is, there seems to be security concerns on samba website, and I wish, at least update to latest 3.0.x .
I have to rename a group of machines in my little samba domain (tbd backend) but there is an ugly bug that makes this impossible. have set 'rename user script' variable corectly, also checked all configurations.When i change computer name in my windows box, it shows an error saying something like "Error calling remote procedure"Looking on server side, username for the machine gets correctly changed in /usr/passwd, and also in samba database.But samba log says:

I want to allow samba logging to the standard samba logfiles, but prevent the syslog getting clogged up by samba. I added syslog = 0 to smb.conf and reloaded the config but the messages were still appearing. I also tried the following (and restarted the syslog via /sbin/service syslog restart) # Suppress messages from samba.
nmbd.* /dev/null
smbd.* /dev/null
winbindd.* /dev/null
For interests sake the messages I'm getting are below (I'm not concerned about the messages themselves, I can chase them up at my leisure via the samba logs) Mar 18 09:58:29 SERVER nmbd[3808]: query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet xx.yy.z.zz for name DOMAIN<1d>.

I have update my linux server from mandriva 9 to mandriva 2010
I was working using samba 2.2.8 and now I have samba 3.5.3.I have transfer all passwd and smbpasswd to new linux.I have convert smbpasswd to tdbsam
when i am using win xp to logon on samba domain the windows XP does not load profiles from samba. I think that the problem is NTUSER.DAT storing in /home/user/profile
The same profile is working using samba 2.2.8 but not working in samba 3.5.3..
I would like to configure an access to folder
/fileserver
for two services : Samba and VSFTPD
How to do it ? How to create folder rights that samba and ftp user will have an access (read/write/delete) to all directories in /fileserver.
My system is CentOS. I`m starting samba and vsftpd like a root (/etc/init.d/vsftpd start etc.)
I want to use samba for file sharing like on a Windows home network. Actually they are all Linux machines but nfs is too complicated. On my host machine I installed samba and system-config-samba. I created a new share for /home, check marked writable and visible and put access to everybody. For preferences-->server settings--> security the "authentication mode" is set to user, encrypt passwords is no, and guest account is no guest account. Under preferences-->samba users I added myself as a user with the same windows user name as my Linux user name and the same password.
My client is a virtualbox fedora (used for testing purposes but actual clients will be real computers on my home network). I entered the address smb://192.168.1.184. When asked for the user name and password I put my regular user name and password since that was what I set in samba users. However, the password dialog keeps coming up and won't let met into my own computer. If I quit it says something like access is denied. How can I get my home network back? I liked this feature when my home computers ran XP but I switched them to Fedora 12.
I'm having some trouble getting samba to work properly. I'm following this tutorial [URL] when I run
Code: sudo smbclient -L localhost I receive the following: Code: Enter root's password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[SAMBA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.7]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_END_OF_FILE I'm lost!
Is there any way to limit x number of samba users by samba ? Say if there are already 5 samba users using the share, I would like to restrict any futher samba requests.. How do i do that ?

I've installed CentOS 5.3 on a machine, and I need a Samba version 3.2 or higher. Since 3.4 is out, I thought I'd grab that. But, "yum list|grep samba" gives me only version 3.0.33. Is there a package of Samba I can grab that will upgrade the 3.0 installation so that I don't have two laying around? If not and I need to compile from source, do you have any suggestions for what arguments I should give configure? I'm not used to Linux coming from the BSD world

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm configuring a classroom based on Linux (just Linux, without Windows) with user mobility. What I want is that any student will use its own 'username/password' on whatever computer getting its own data and without having to define every user on every computer. As far as Samba is very useful, even when I don't need Windows support I decided to base the solution on Samba. Right now I still have some problems and the solution doesn't work in my test environment. I defined a PDC (Samba 3.5 Domain Controller) on a Fedora 13 with 'homes', starting nmb and smb and it seems to work. On a Ubuntu 10.10 Workstation I built a Samba 'Domain Member Server' starting nmb, smb and winbind.
First question: should I define 'homes' on this server or not? I assumed 'not' as the 'homes' you have to use are the ones defined on the PDC, not on the DMS.
Second question: does winbind run just on DMS? Not on the PDC too?
I defined the DMS 'machine' and some domain users on the PDC and I could 'join' the DMS to the PDC without any problem (join rpc ...) From the workstation I can use smbclient seeing a domain with two servers, one of which is the controller. I can connect to the home shares using the domain users which are authorized by the PDC. On the DMS I paid attention on nsswitch.conf and pam file running 'pam-auth-update'. So 'webinfo -u' provides a list of users on the domain, local users and domain users. The problem arrives when I try to connect from the session login screen on the workstation to 'mydomainmyuser'. PDC validates the user, if the password is right, and I get connected but not to my PDC homes.
Instead I get some errors starting with:
'could not update ICEAuthoriy file /home/mydomain/myuser/.ICEAuthority'
It seems I'm in an empty space in an open but useless session which I can close later on.
Hereafter you will see the short smb.conf reported by testparm:

I think an update or something has killed Samba on my Karmic box. it can see Windows shares OK, but it no longer appears on the Windows network.I have not changed my smb.conf for months, so something else has been modified.Looking in the logs I can see the following in "log.winbindd-idmap" after restarting Samba

All other networking seems fine (internet, Synergy+ etc) it's just sharing out to the Windows network that is broken.
I have had a good look round the forums but cannot come up with anything quite like this and the problem prevents me from using my NAS box and stuff is starting to stack up on my main PC now...
I have a Dell desktop running Ubuntu 9.04, a Shuttle running Mythbuntu 9.10 and a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo, all of which worked fine until this problem started. I have done nothing to any config files nor have I modified any settings from the outset, as far as I can remember I have just used everything as it came. This problem probably started a month or so back when update manager suggested a Samba update on both PC's which I accepted. I don't fire up my NAS box more than once or twice a month to back all my photos, music, video etc. so it was a while before I did (following the update) I could see the NAS and the Shuttle from the Dell but couldn't browse them I just got the error message 'Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server' which I gather is all too common. I have searched around a bit on these forums and have tried a few things in the command line to gather information and I found something that worried me rather a lot. From Dell:
Code:
geoff@geoff-dell:~$ findsmb
*=DMB
+=LMB
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
[Code]...
I haven't done any updates on the NAS box firmware so it can't be that and now I don't even see the shares in filemanager. What on earth is going on??? I know there are many other threads similar to this but but I am hoping that the slight difference might make this more obvious to solve. I forgot to mention that now I don't even see the shares in filedmanager - another thing that happened all by itself!
I've, for years, been using a little script, as user, to mount network shares, like this:
mount.cifs //server/Data ~/Data -o username=robertw
Previously it used to be smbmount, but that changed. Anyway, the latest updates have stopped me be able to run this as a user. I tried running it as root and that just won't let me get access to the shares, tells me permission denied. I thought I'd try using fstab. This gives varying degrees of success.
Here are two of the entries:
//server/CAD /mnt/CAD cifs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.server.robertw 0 0
//server/Data /mnt/Data cifs credentials=/etc/samba/auth.server.robertw 0 0
The auth.server.robertw clearly shows my correct username and password.
Now, I can't get into the /mnt/Data directory at all, just says permission denied and I can only read from, but not write to, the /mnt/CAD directory. My /mnt directory is like this.
drwxr-xr-x 20 500 505 0 2010-05-11 06:21 CAD/
drwxr-x--x 170 500 501 0 2010-04-09 23:18 Data/
I'm on Mandriva 2010 if that's important.

So far I have tried the example howto's on the samba site and wound up having to restore /etc/nsswitch.conf in rescue mode.
I have re-installed our operating system (CentOS 5) ,what is the best way to restore our Samba server? Can it be as simple as copying the smb.config and smbpasswd files back into the /etc/samba directory? That's what I am hoping. If I just copy the smb.config and the smbpasswd files back to the samba directory will the machine trusts, users and passwords just work? If not, what is the proper procedure for restoring. Actually i want to make CentOS 5.3 as my Domain Controller, I want to test all Scenario in case of any disaster of DC before putting it into production environment. I have some queries as:
1. Is CentOS 5 is more stable than RHEL 5 etc.
2. How can i take back up of entire samba server if need it in case of any disaster. How can i restore it.
3. How can i use logon scripts like GPO in windows servers.
4. How can add users in samba server and linux at one time with one command.
5. tell me any Web based samba administration tool other than SWAT.
I have a freshly installed CentOS 5.4 box which I'm trying to get AD authentication working on. I have AD authentication via kerberos working for SSH, but when I try and have it work for SMB shares I'm getting an access denied error. What's even more odd is that when I tell pam to use winbind to authenticate SSH...it works just fine. Wbinfo -a username%password authenticates fine and getent passwd and group enumerates the AD users and groups ok. My smbd.log was throwing the following error "Failed to verify incoming ticket with error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" but has since stopped for some reason, but googling this indicated I needed re-join the machine to the domain, which I have.
