Ubuntu Servers :: Samba Keeps Prompting For (saved) Credentials?

Sep 2, 2010

I'm using SAMBA as a file server on a Ubuntu Server 10.04 32-bit. I'm using a 10.6.4 Mac client and a Windows 7 client. I created shortcuts on the client machines to point to the shared folders with embedded credentials ("Remember password" is ticked), but the problem is that whenever the Windows user logs off, the credentials are forgotten and the user needs to re-enter them. This problem does not occur on the Mac client.

Code:

# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed

Server :: Samba Credentials Not Working Through Windows 7?

May 2, 2011

I have installed a Samba Server (Ubuntu 10.10 Server) detailed config below. The server is up and running but clients running windows 7 cannot connect as their credentials are not accepted. The pop window for credentials keep coming back up on the clients and no connection is issued. I have tried to change the policies on windows 7 as such:

Network security: LAN Manager authentication level Send LM & NTLM responses
Minimum session security for NTLM SSP
Disable Require 128-bit encryption

But to no avail. I am in doubt as far as where the issue is coming from. Meaning is it coming from my Samba conf or something in Windows I am not doing right.

[global]
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
interfaces = 192.168.178.0/24, eth0
bind interfaces only = Yes

Ubuntu Networking :: Encrypted Password In Samba Credentials File?

Apr 20, 2010

I remember that some time ago I found a guide on the Ubuntu website about adding samba shares to mount at boot via /etc/fstab. The guide also mentioned using a credentials file to store the username and password.

However, the password was encrypted (in md5 I think) and it could not be read directly, but it still worked with fstab mount. If I remember correctly, the file contents were similar to this:

Code:
useraname = user
password = --md5

where was replaced by the encoded password. All was done in terminal. Recently I changed computers, and re-installed Ubuntu, but I forgot to save that file so I am not sure about the contents. I would like to know how to do this again, but I can't find the guide anymore. Does anyone know how to do this? Storing the password in plain text in file readable only by root is not acceptable because it can be read by someone mounting the drive from other operating system, and the share cannot be mounted/unmounted by regular users (which is possible with the md5 encrypted password).

Ubuntu Servers :: Sudo No Longer Prompting For Password / Resolve This?

Aug 16, 2011

I am suddenly not prompted for my password when I run any command as sudo on a few of my Ubuntu servers.

if I run sudo -K, the session is cleared, and I am prompted again for my password, however it saves/caches it until I run sudo -k again even if I log out and back in. I want it to prompt me for my password, as it should (and did) by default, for security.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Here's my /etc/sudoers file code...

Ubuntu Servers :: OpenLDAP - Setting Up ACL (Invalid Credentials)

May 18, 2010

I'm trying to set up an OpenLDAP server on a clean install of 10.04 server (AMD64). Following the server guide [URL] I get down to the "Setting up ACL" step:
$ ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W oldDatabase=hdb oldAccess
This command fails with "ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)"

When I replace the dn with what it seems like it should be:
$ ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W oldDatabase=hdb oldAccess
I get "No such object (32)"
I have a feeling this is because 10.04 no longer asks you for the admin username and password during the initial debconf (nor does dpkg-reconfigure).

I can continue through the guide using this form of the commands (which were used earlier in the Guide):
$ sudo ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config olcDatabase=hdb olcAccess
But I'm a little concerned that I'm not able to properly use the admin user to make LDAP changes to the configuration. It also seems like the Server Guide ought to use the 'sudo ... -Y EXTERNAL' form of the commands throughout if cn=admin,cn=config isn't going to work.

OpenSUSE Network :: Samba Ignores "credentials" Option?

Jul 17, 2010

Linux 2.6.34-12-desktop x86_64smbd: 3.5.4-4.1-2382-SUSE-SL11.3I updated from v11.2. to v11.3.However, the SMB services were no longer mounted. The reason is that the "credentials" (or "cred") option in </etc/fstab> is ignored. If I remove "credentials" and add "username=xxx,password=yyy", the services are mounted.Has "credentials" been changed in some way? Has it been renamed?

OpenSUSE Network :: User's Home Directory Saved In Samba Server Not Locally

Mar 27, 2011

Continuing 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.

Security :: Samba Changes File Ownership When File Is Saved

Apr 8, 2010

I have a Samba share set up on a SUSE server and users connect to the share via Windows XP workstations. On SUSE, if I create a file and grant ownership to "administrator" and give it 770 permissions for example, when someone goes in to modify that file, they become the owner as soon as they save it, and the permissions change to 470 (r--rwx---+) with an access control list. I want to maintain ownership of the file myself and I don't understand why someone changing the file is changing the permissions on it...This is driving me insane because every time someone saves something I have to go in and chmod 770 it before they can save it again.

Fedora Servers :: Samba Messages In Syslog - Allow Logging To The Standard Samba Logfiles

Mar 18, 2010

I wish to prevent the samba messages (mainly nmbd and winbindd) from appearing in the system log (/var/log/messages). 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>.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 Not Prompting For Password In Any Mail Client?

I'm having problems setting up an email client. Tried both Evolution (which looks good) and Thunderbird but both of them will not prompt for my password when connecting to my mail servers. I've quadruple checked my settings and everything looks OK however I do not get the password prompt.Creating an account in Evolution is almost the same as that shown in the documentation but I do not get prompted for the time zone. Checking where Evolution stores the passwords also comes up with different results on my computer as the location specified does exist but is empty.Evolution is running at 2.28.1 and Thunderbird is 2.0.0.24

Ubuntu Networking :: Network Manager Keeps Prompting For WEP Key?

Apr 20, 2010

I've been fiddling with Ubuntu for the first time ever today and eventually managed to get the drivers for the network adapter installed. Now, I'm trying to get the computer running it onto my home network; I set it up to connect automatically, entered the WEP key, and hit apply, marveling at how convenient it was.

...So far it's still caused me less trouble than some of the the bizarre problems I've had trying to get a Windows computer on a network, but...it just won't connect. At all. It says it is connecting, eventually prompts me for the key again, says it is connecting again, etc, repeat on infinite loop. Except for the occasional times that it stops trying and then, oddly enough, proceeds to state that it is not connected to e of neighbor's network*, which it wasn't trying to connect to in the first place

Ubuntu :: Evolution Not Prompting For Password (keyring)

May 1, 2010

I have installed Ubuntu three times now, and I'm running into same problem all the time, both with Karmic Koala (9.10) and now also Lucid Lynx (10.04):

When I configure Evolution for IMAP access to my GMAIL account, it never prompts me for a password. Instead, I guess Evolution tries to connect without any password and fails every time. Switching to Thunderbird didn't do the trick either, so I think it might have something to do with the Keyring daemon. My Internet connection is fine, as I can access my account under other operating systems.

Things I've tried so far:

"Forget passwords" in the evolution menu
Forcing shutdown of evolution and deleting the ~/.evolution folder (as suggested by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221112)
Accessing the keyring and deleting the default keyring

Ubuntu Installation :: (Apt-Get) How To Install Package Without Prompting

Sep 1, 2011

When I run 'apt-get install <some_package>' it asks you to enter configuration information for some packages. I'd like to be able to install a list of packages automatically without having to enter any information, ie. an automated installation. I looked in the man page for apt-get, and I was looking for maybe 2 possibilities:

1) Tell it not to require input; I'll download the configuration files later
2) Enter the options in the apt-get command.

I found what _might_ be what's required for option (2), the --option, but I found the instructions for using it not understandable. It says 'The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar', but I don't know where to go from there, and I'm not even sure it's relevant to what I want to do. I want to install nslcd, and either sort out the configuration later (I have an ldap config file ready), or enter the ldap configuration along with the apt-get command. At present I have to enter the information interactively, which negates the possibility of an unattended install.

Server :: Disabling Of Ssh Prompting For Password

There are over a dozen of servers that I need to monitor for services running on them. Hence, I have created a separate VM on which I am hosting scripts for various purposes. I have written a script (bash) that checks the status of the services running on those servers. Since my script has this line of command (for example):

Code: /sbin/service vsftpd status I have created a user (let's name it user_monitor) and added it to /etc/sudoers file by issuing "visudo" on all the servers. Since I need to execute the command remotely from the VM so I have generated a Public RSA Key (ssh-heygen) and added it to "authorized_keys" file on all the servers. But on some servers when issue a command such as the following:

Ubuntu Servers :: Add New HDD For Samba Only?

Feb 4, 2010

I recently got myself a new hard drive and I want to use it as my Samba share. I just want the hard drive itself to store the files.I know once I get it set up it should be easy to tell Samba that's where I want it to store and look for files.Problem is I need to make it so the computer can use the hard drive first. I have already installed the drive. I just don't know how to get Ubuntu to recognize the drive.I also need to create a partition that uses the whole drive and format it to ext3, then I need to mount it somewhere for Samba to use.This would be easy to do with Ubuntu desktop, but I am using Ubuntu server and I don't know how to do it. I have read that I will need to use fdisk, but the post wasn't to clear on what to do.
