I'm not sure if this is even possible and I've tired searching, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a few shares setup in Samba. I want them to prompt for a username and password. If an invalid user/pass is entered I want the user to be authenticated as a guest.
View 6 RepliesI've been reading for a while about samba but I haven't found a solution to my problem yet.I'd like to know if, the configuration I have in mind, is possible at all ("security = user" is what I'm using now).I want a directory to be:
1) read only for guests and some UNIX users;
2) write for some other UNIX users.
The advantage of this configuration would be that every single user in my LAN (with or without a UNIX account) would be able to read the content of the shared directory Music and I (UNIX user andrea) could manage the folder directly trough samba preserving the correct owner/group and permissions on the new files/folder created.
Notes about my configuration above:
1) as it is now every user gets authenticated by samba as nobody so even I (andrea) cannot write in it;
2) commenting out the line "guest ok = yes" I can authenticate as "andrea" and write in it but guest access is not possible any longer.
I would like to know how can I share folder with samba that samba does not show it to those users that have no access to it?

In my home network I have two ubuntu desktops that are connected to a router. On each pc I have installed Virtual Box 3.2 and various OSes. I need to sometimes run multiple vm's at the same time which is very RAM intensive so I was wondering if there is any way to connect VM's on different hosts so that they appear they are in the same network? Various articles that show up as search results hardly pertain to what I want to do. Basically, I would like to make vm's visible in the network but on different hosts and with ip addresses that would reflect that those vm's are on a same network. Like ubuntu 1 has vm's a and b and ubuntu 2 has c and d. When I start all of the vm's, I would like them to connect to each other just like they are in the same network without "knowing" they are on different hosts.

I'm comparing a RHEL4 samba server's config to a new RHEL install with a default samba config. On the old one I see that there is a line saying
invalid users = root bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail news operator
On the new default install I don't even see where it mentions the invalid users option in the notes. Does it do that by default now or something?

We have an existing Windows 2000 network that I am trying to add an Ubuntu 8.04 server to. I have put links into the windows domain DFS to the linux machine's samba shares.
The shares work fine for local users that are physically on the same network (192.168.0.X). Remote users from other offices or dialing in with a vpn client can not access the these particular folders off the DFS. However, they can map them directly from the ubuntu server.
I have a 9.10 installation that I am unable to connect with SAMBA.
Attempts to access this (from Windows XP) give an error "the password or username is invalid".
I can see the computer, but not connect.
The Ubuntu installation is set up with the same user and password I normally use, and the files are setup the same way. I even copied smb.conf from another installation which works.
I set up SMB when prompted by shares-admin.
If I want to add Windows & Mac users as Samba users, must I first add them all as Ubuntu users? If so, since none of the other users will actually be working on the Ubuntu Server, how do I disable the other non-admin users on the Ubuntu Server login screen. I am using Webmin to administer some server settings, and command line for others.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI work as an system administrator for AIX and Linux servers. We have an FTP server running in Linux which has shared folders to Windows domain using Samba. The new requirement is to map users created to Linux machine to Windows users in such a way that, when a user logins into Windows machine with an ID say "X123" in domain "TEST", his access control to the samba shares should reflect based on the same user ID created in Linux machine.(FYI. Both the Windows and LINUX machines are in same network and domain). Please let me know the step by step procedure to configure Linux machine (smb.conf entries or any new file to be created for user mapping) to identify Windows user Login and provide access restrictions accordingly.

I know it is definitely the school's doing, under both Windows and Linux, my computer is denied connection for about 30 minutes, then it suddenly works. I always have the same address, but setting a static address does not allow me connection either. Everyone else has no problem connecting, so I am pretty sure the school denied my computer connection.
How can I workaround this? Changing my card's MAC address does not fix the problem. Is there another way to discriminate users?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a server running Ubuntu Server 10.04 that is a VirtualBox/Samba/SSH server. I have port forwarding set up for ports 22 and 3389 (SSH and RDP) and I want to access the Samba share without opening any other ports. I can connect to it from my internal network, but I want to be able to access it from school. My best guess would be to tunnel the Samba port through SSH, but I don't know how. I will be connecting to it from Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHere is what I am trying to do. I set up a Samba server on Ubuntu 10.10, which seems to be working (sort of).
I set it up using Webmin, which has always worked for me before.
I set up two shares, both of which are read/write and are allowing any hosts. And are set up using the default samba configuration that is provided by Webmin.
For privacy reasons I won't disclose the domains, but I will call them test.abc.com and xyz.com
I set up /media/mount as a share called [mount_a] and I also set up /media/mount_b as [mount_b]
The server's host name in my internal network is mount-box
I originally mapped it to a sub-domain of my domain abc.com via DNS, so that test.abc.com resolves to the IP address of my router; which has all the necesarry port forwarding set up.
In windows explorer in the remote location I tested it by using \test.abc.compoonani_a, this works fine and after a password prompt I can access my files. However, I do not want to use this domain name for this server, so I registered a new domain name and again via DNS mapped domain xyz.com to the IP address of my router.
Since setting up the new hostname, I cannot connect to it via Windows to access the samba share. It just won't work. When I try to connect the password prompt appears and I put in my credentials, when I submit it the window re-appears and it has appended the servername xyz.com before the username, so it reads \xyz.com<myusername>, but won't let me connect.
If I try again with the previous hostname test.abc.com, it works fine.
What am I doing wrong that it would let me connect with one hostname, and not another.
I am trying to connect to my samba server with xubuntu, so far with no luck.
I am trying to use fusesmb and have been following these instructions:

as well as these:

and these

the top ones say to use Applications - System - shared folders to setup smb client. Xubuntu maverick doesn't seem to have that menu point. So I copied the smb.conf from my desktop machine. libsmbclient is installed.
fuse as such seems to run since teh folder that i designated as mount point (~/Network) changes owner to root when i run fusesmb Network. But apart from that nothing happens.
I have a problem with Samba. I've already configured my SMB.conf file, but I can't connect to my Windows shares by their host name. for example: if I try to connect to GDEA73-PC-1 share = netshare, server connection fails. if I try to connect to 192.168.1.171 then share = netshare, it works. How do I fix this? When I run findsmb, I am on the GDEA73 NETWORK workgroup as I configured, but my local PC is the only one on it...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running 10.10 on a pretty fresh install with a brand new system I built especially for Ubuntu.For some reason, I'm beginning to have trouble with accessing my Samba shares from this computer. I have a Windows Home Server also running on my network and I have to be able to access the files on it.At first Nautilus showed "SERVER" in the folder tree when I clicked on "Network" and everything was working great. A couple of days ago my WHS "SERVER" suddenly no longer showed up in Nautilus and I had to mount the WHS server manually (via "Connect to Server...").
Now, today, even that doesn't work. When I try to mount manually I get the error "Failed to Retrieve Share List from Server". I can now no longer access the WHS from Ubuntu at all.Why has my ability to access the Samba shares on my WHS deteriorated over time to the point where I can't access them at all?? Any ideas?I have other systems on this network (Mac and Windows) and none of the others have any problems at all with the WHS. Re-booting WHS and router has no effect. I've changed nothing in my set-up. Is this update related?

I recently used this process to connect my Samba network to be able to access and allow Windows XP machines to access my computer on my office network.
For various reasons, all the XP computers on the network are set to fixed (do we say static?) IP addresses with manual DNS. Hence I realised during the Samba setup that I had to set a static IP on my Ubuntu machine similar to my Windows static IP's (ie 192.168.10.?) in order to be able to see the Windows share PC's properly.
Once I set my Ubuntu machine to static IP of 192.168.10.3 with subnet of 255.255.255.0 and gateway of 192.168.0.1 then I was able to access and be accessed by PC's on the network. However I couldn't access the internet after this. I input the DNS server in the edit connections as you can see per the attachment. All these settings (except the IP address obviously) were all now exactly the same as the PC machines, and I thought I'd now be able to access the windows network, as well as have access to the internet, however, even though my wired network is connected there is still no internet access.
I'm using the GUI under network connections to make all these changes if that is important. I can't understand why this doesn't work?
I was able to connect to my XP home machine from downstairs F12 machine with gnome. I also have laptop with F12 but with xfce windows manager, following the same instruction, (wireless work fine) I don't see the network icon in the file manager. Can someone let me know how to trouble shoot?
