Red Hat :: Samba Error : Server Not Using User Level Security
Dec 22, 2010
i am trying to setup a very basic samba share on RHEL.after editing smb.conf ,testparm output is ok,(though it shows STANDALONE SERVER.)the directive i have used are
I need to know is there any way to record or tracking or make logging if when user samba delete files or folders i can know that, cause sometimeon samba server some users complain they lost files, though i have daily backup and i can restore their files, i just want to know if or maybe some other users in one group accidentally move or delete the files.
I've been able to kludge a kill script which finds the correct pid for the kdeserver (or gnome server) after my system comes up in run level 5 so I can drop back to run level 3 mode. Lots of experimentation showed me that using telinit 3 and telinit 5 would occasionally leave the video memory in a mess and I would have the black screen of death.
I set the security parameter setting to autologin for me since I am the only user of my machine, but I still have to kludge the default setting under sysconfig (the DEFAULT_WM) under Window Manager to pick a certain window manager, so it takes time to manually switch the desktop.
Right now I can leave the gui and drop back to cli, but painful experimenting showed me that killing the X server is a no no. Right now I kill the kde server, which sends the SIGTERM to the X windows manager, which then figures out that it has to shut down.
Questions: Is there a better way of doing this? Apparently openSUSE figures that we have multiple users logging into the gui desktop, so the gui is always kept running and a login window with the desktop manager option forces the user to login in. With autologin, this never happens, but no choice of desktop is possible on the fly.
Can some type of script be set up to painlessly enable this to happen? And what is the best way of bringing either the Gnome or KDE desktop manager down gracefully? I do get lots of error messages as the system attempts to recover and X shuts down. It appears that apparently the single user with autologin is left out in the cold.
I want to install a software called TinyOS which is an operating system designed for wireless sensor embedded networks in my account. The problem is it has instructions to install the software as an administrator since i'm not an admin of the department network i can not able to install. Is there any method to install this software as an user level rather than admin level.
I want to know what are the advantages and disadvantages for accessing spi(serial peripheral inerface )from kernel level and user level. like methods of doing it, speed ,memeory utilization etc
As per our requirement, I need to implement a Secure FTP server for around 500 users which includes security level on both - Transfer and Rest data. Apart from this I also need the following features -
1. Size quota on Users & reminder mails for the same 2. Password expiry notifications and user interface to change their password within specified time interval 3. Aging of data - After specified time, data will be moved to some other location from their home directory 4. All type of log maintenace for each file and user and log exporting 5. Uploading & Downloading speed consistency as per server level. 6. Read-write interface for user and read-only interface for their client for the same account. 7. Backup and Recovery options.
As of now, I am using VSFTPD which does not give these much of features in combine.
I'm running Maverick Meerkat 10.10 x64, and I'm trying to set up a Samba share with user security. In other words, when accessing the share, I want to be prompted for my username and password. Everything in my smb.conf file looks ok to me, but the shares are still accessible with no user security, and I don't know why. The smb.conf file is below:
# # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux. # #
I am trying to set up my Ubuntu 10.04 netbook to see my WinXP desktop's files and vice a versa. I followed the steps in this tutorial thread: HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows. I got as far as "Time to add yourself as an samba user." at this point I keep getting the following error:
Code: sudo smbpasswd -L -a WinXP_User_Name New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to add entry for user WinXP_User_Name. My WinXP machine has no password.
My conf file is here: [global] ; General server settings ; netbios name = WinXP_Computer_Name server string = ; workgroup = WinXP_WorkStation_Name announce version = 5.0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 passdb backend = tdbsam security = user .....
I have a samba server that I had setup using the default smbpasswd backend, and it worked fine. So long as I remembered to use smbpasswd/passwd to setup a user with a username and password matching the account name of a Windows 7 user, then that windows 7 user would be able to navigate the shares with their permissions correctly.I have switched over to using ldap, and: the console/ssh of the machine can correctly use any of the ldap logins getent passwd/group both show the complete listing my Windows 7 machines can all ping the samba server by its netbios name my Windows 7 machines all prompt for authentication if I type \MACHINENAME into explorerHowever, all attempts to access the shares now continually ask for you to enter your username/password, and then fails anyway.No errors appear to be generated on the server (unless I'm missing a log somewhere). Having hunted around on the web, I'm wondering if it has to do with generation of machine accounts (since it tries to access from MACHINENAMEUSER). Without ldap setup, I didn't need to worry about the machine name, but I'm thinking that maybe smbpasswd took care of this somehow.I use the smbldap-useradd tool to setup a user account, which appears to correctly setup the user in ldap, such as:
Code: dn: uid=sharer,ou=Users,dc=intbus,dc=net objectClass: top
Apache is run as www as is all the files/folders. People are uploading via FTP, scp, so the problem is if I chmod so everyone can read, then rsync as a user it works until new files are added which then my ; if rsync fails with a permission denied. Now I can add a chmod in the script so everyone can read, but since www can already read, I figured I would just change my script to use www. I added the ssh key to his authorized_keys file, but when I try to just ssh in I see this in the secure file;
server sshd[29539]: User www not allowed because account is locked sshd[29539]: Failed none for invalid user www from ip port 54983 ssh2
Now I read a few places already saying I need to add a password to the account, etc. but before I jump and try all I read, 1st major one, will this now break apache? Will this affect any startup things, etc. and .... will that unlock that user for ssh in or is there another preferred method?
I have a Samba server running on a box where I login to admin as user: FRED The Samba users are SUE JOE - Read only for specified paths (media playback access only user) SUE can read/write to any directory under the share: Media
So all that is working fine. As long as I do file operations remotely as SUE everything works remotely. How can I make it to where everything SUE does over Samba FRED automatically has permissions to edit when logged in locally (or SSH)? Also, remember, Joe needs to be able to read where specified.
I have configured samba server.My requirement was that the path which i have to share was /srv/www/htdocs.With this the shared path for developer user was /srv/www/htdocs/projects.
So in the smb.conf file i made the entries as following:
After that root user was able login to both /srv/www/htdocs and also project folder and developer was only able to login to projects folder.That was according to my requirement but now the problem is that when developer is trying to edit any file in projects folder he is getting error that you dont have permissions to change this file.But developer should be able to edit any files. What changes i need to do now.
I've got Samba server running on CentOS box. Everything works fine when I use "path" parameter, but I think Samba should create /home dirs for clients automatically.It should look like this:Quote:
comment = Home Directory of '%u' valid users = @"Domain Group" browseable = no
Is it possible to secure samba server with kerberos? I want to know whether we can use kerberos authentication to secure samba user name and password so that mo one can sniff that information. configuration or any URL link from I can get the exact configuration.
So here is what I'm trying to do: I want to share a folder and have it so that guests can access it, but only read. I also want to make it possible that I can mount it as a network drive on my Windows 7 machine and login with my linux account so that I can have write access. This is from a completely stock Ubuntu 8.10 and Samba config. Everytime I've tried I've failed to get it working.
I'm running a Samba server (3.5.2-60.fc13) on Fedora 13 (64 bit). I want to share the user home directories and want to allow following of symlinks out of the share tree. So in smb.conf I used
unix extensions = no wide links = yes
For SELinux I did:
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs=1 getsebool -a | grep samba samba_create_home_dirs --> off samba_domain_controller --> off
[code]....
However I can't follow the symlinks when mounting my home directory on a Windows machine, unless I disable SeLinux.
I've got Samba server running on CentOS box. Everything works fine when I use "path" parameter, but I think Samba should create /home dirs for clients automatically. It should look like this:
comment = Home Directory of '%u' valid users = @"Domain Group" browseable = no writable = yes
[Code]....
When I explicitly declare "path" param, it works ok. But I need PERSONAL home dir for every user separately, not one dir for everyone.
I follow those guides: [URL] and [URL]. I join the domain, I can test the user [root@osra ~]# wbinfo -a mbottalico% plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication succeeded
[root@osra ~]# wbinfo -g utenti wins dhcp users dhcp administrators computer del dominio controller di dominio getent passwd and group ok without "DOMAIN+" kinit e klist ok.
I can browser the samba server, but I can enter on "temp", but not in "test" (access denied) [root@osra ~]# smbclient \\osra\test -U administrator Enter administrator's password: Domain=[DOMAINSHORT] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.8-0.52.el5_5.2] smb: > ls NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED listing * (I noticed only writing this message)
[root@osra ~]# smbclient \\osra\tmp -U administrator Enter administrator's password: Domain=[DOMAINSHORT] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.3.8-0.52.el5_5.2] smb: > dir ..... 53488 blocks of size 2097152. 49908 blocks available smb: > q 0 blocks of size 0. 511 blocks available .....
I'm trying to set up my samba server so that all the shares are visible to everybody but that some shares can only be accessed by certain users. I have a folder Video that everybody can access without a username or password. I now want to create a share that only I can access called webserver.
This is my samba.conf Code: [global] dns proxy = No netbios name = DATABOX guest account = nobody restrict anonymous = no browseable = yes server string = server workgroup = WORKGROUP public = yes security = share
[Video] Writeable = yes Path = /media/data/Video Public = yes
[webserver] Writeable = yes Public = no User = malteser Path = /media/data/Webserver
Windows does not let me enter a username or password. I'm pretty sure this used to work.
My all production PC r running under ADC windows2008 server. Recently I implement a file server in CentOS 5. Now I want to integrate Samba (File sharing) using Active Directory so that all access permission to file server comes from AD's permission.
I have a samba server with security user. I have a number of shares inside the share with different users logins. But while accessing the shares from windows, in the login prompt, by default username it takes as the guest. How will I disable the default guest user login ?
how to make a new Ubuntu 9.10 box use our LDAP/Samba server for user authentication. Our Red Hat and Windows machines all use it just fine. I've been trying to use the auth-client-config and libnss-ldap packages for this purpose, but I must be missing something. I'm pretty green with LDAP, so this is my first time diving in... Is there a good How-To or step-by-step read on this? All of my searches lead me to setting up Ubuntu as the server, and that isn't what I want. I've also tried the steps listed in [URL] for the LDAP Authentication section.
I was looking for a way to protect my samba server for limiting access to certain domains.Can I use the parameterhosts allow = example.comor something like that or is there another way to do the job for domains
