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.

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.

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

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.

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.

However I can't follow the symlinks when mounting my home directory on a Windows machine, unless I disable SeLinux.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedContinuing with my assigned task of migrating the company's PCs to GNU/Linux (openSUSE as server for GNU/Linux clients) I managed to set up a DC with roaming profiles for the few remaining Windows users, user validation and login for the openSUSE boxes and a few network shares with different rights. I know there are no roaming profiles for GNU/Linux and I can live with that but I would like to specify wich users/groups would have their home directories saved locally (notebook users) and which will save them on the Samba server.
By default home directories are saved locally but somehow Samba creates a minimal home directory for each user under /home in the Samba server. How can I tell the client box to use that directory? and how can I set up the few notebook users to save it on their disks? Maybe using the options under Yast > Security... > Users and groups management > Users (LDAP Users filter) > and then select the user and use the "Manage Samba account parameters" plug-in for specifying the different paths cant achieve this.

I tried to add a samba user account on an Ubuntu machine called "video" like I had on another Ubuntu machine, but it's telling me it already exists. At one point I had added the user via terminal, but the user did not show up in system-config-samba (the popular samba gui a lot of people use). So now I'm trying to re-add him and it's not working. Likewise, if I use terminal to sudo smbpasswd -x video, it says failed to find an entry for that user.
As far as I can tell, the user doesn't exist - yet I can't add him because it "already exists."
I am just started to setting up a samba PDC at our office.MY problem is my xp client is logging in to server but not loading the profile.its booting with tmp profile and whatever the changes I do in that profile.its not updating that in the server.

I've just installed 10.04 x64 and I've had some problems with samba (cifs/windows file sharing). It seems like samba is forgetting user passwords, so on every reboot I have to add a password for the user that needs access: sudo smbpasswd -a tietze
I've tried restarting samba (sudo service sbmd restart), but it does not work. I have to add a new password for the user with the command above.
I tried to google a bit for a solution, but only found the following thread with a problem that seems related: [other] Samba forgets user
making samba remember passwords betweeen reboots/shutdowns?
The goal is the following: I want one samba network share with all my family data. Multiple users should have access to this share from Win7 pcs but not all folders should be access able by everyone. The old windows server managed this by changing ntfs rights for these folders.
I've installed Samba and this recommended gnome utility (Ubuntu 10.4). First for testing I made a samba share with access right for everyone. Everything fine on Win... Then I only allowed for my user. Also worked after a little bit of playing with the global samba settings and the pw encryption... Then I created a new ubuntu user and configured a new samba user with the connection to this ubuntu user (like described in many tutorials using the samba config tool). I changed the access right of the samba share to allow the new user also but no connection was possible. At this point the original user was working from the same pc without any problem.
I started thinking of the windows time and decided to search for the file system rights like it was with the ntfs. I'm using ext4 by the way. I made chmod 777 -R from the new users login... (i'm not sure why there is no user dependency for chmod) I used chown -R but it seems that there is only one owner allowed so I switched back to my main user... I installed an additional feature called ACL and was able to set users and groups for the root folder but there is no possibility to recursively change all subdirs. I used such a ACL gui extension for gnome which is in the ubuntu repository to do that. It also wasn't helping for the problem that the new user has no access to the folder (even if I change the rights manually)
User A & B have access rights at least for the root of the share. Both users have a ubuntu and a samba account. Only user A is working with samba.
I've spent the last four hours trawling through the net looking for a solution to this. I know it's out there, I just can't find it. In Ubuntu 10.10 I have just created a windows network in Samba. I can see the network and my computer. The computer next to me can also connect to this Windows network. He can also see the network and he can also see me, but... How does he join the network so that I can see him? I just can't seem to add him.
