Ubuntu :: Globered WINS Samba Server?
Aug 18, 2010
I have been using samba with WINS enabled for a few years now. I know all setting in my smb,conf were and still are fine. For some unknown reason my samba shares got wacked. I have no idea what cause it but I could not fix it. So I decided to take the plunge and install a smb client. I remember thinking, I'm going to regret this... After the install of system-config-samba It would not run, I saw a few forums talking about missing dependencies
Code: sudo aptitude install samba samba-common-bin system-config-samba smbfs smbclient After words my permissions got fixed. So I was quite happy. and Wins was working great with all shares set up correctly. Than after a reboot WINS was not working. So I tried to clear out the WINS data files and restart smbd, but now it wont create my WINS.dat file. I dont see anything in the logs that helps me here, any ideas?
Currently my shares are good, samba is working fine, but WINS will not works. From a windows box I get "There are no entries in the list." from a net view.

My Fedora router has three nic's, one for the internet, one for lan and one for the wireless network, which uses hostapd. I have set up samba in order to enable windows file sharing from wireless lan to wired lan. Using the samba documentation I have enabled the wins server and wins proxy which should allow met to browse the shares across the networks, which theoretically should do the trick but it doesn't work as expected. I can see the pc's from the other network using windows neighbourhood, but as soon as I access one of them it fails saying that "network path could not be found" or something like this. Tried using windows 7, windows xp and linux for browsing but the result is the same. As firewall I have shorewall and the samba specific ports are enabled for both networks. How to setup samba for inter-network browsing?
I have attached the global config section from smb.conf file:
Code:
[global]
server string = Samba Server
interfaces = eth1, lo, wlan0
bind interfaces only = Yes
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50 .....

I have a CentOS 5.3 box running Samba and OpenVPN. I have the Samba server setup as a WINS server and OpenVPN pushes the WINS server to clients when they connect. Everything is working great except for one problem. When I connect to the VPN using a Windows machine at a remote location, I can ping all the host names of computers on the VPN network no problem at all. However, when I ping the host name of the OpenVPN server it resolves to 192.168.122.1. All my machines are on a 10.x subnet and I have no idea where this ip is coming from. I've checked the hosts file, lmhosts, etc. and can find no reference to this 192.168.122 subnet.
I think I recall seeing this 192.168.122.1 ip when I had installed the Virtualization group and it created a virtbr0 network bridge with that ip. I've since removed the Virtualization software and deleted that bridge.

I'm trying to configure my ubuntu 9.10 to access a lan. In the gnome network manager I can find all the blanks to fill with the ip, subnet mask, gateway and dns, but I can't understand how I can specify the wins server ip.

I am experiencing horrible name resolution problems in Maverick. I believe this problem is related to having the following line in nsswitch.conf:hosts: files wins dnsI do use Samba and access windows shares in my network (that's why wins precedes dns. I was wondering if there is any way to setup a wins lookup timeout so it can fail quickly enough to try to perform the lookup using dns.

my wife needs the 'horrible' dos because she uses - Russian - programs written for windows only.
i suppose:
they - the Russians - never discovered the linux-os (very surprising)
or
she - my wife - got the wrong version.
my Q:
is there an easy way to run windows-progs on ubuntu 10.04 ?

I'm using Debian 6.0.0 (Squeeze), I have other 2 PCs with Windows (XP, WIN7) and all PCs are in a network with a DCHP (an ASDL Router).From Debian PC if I open the "File Browser" -> "Network"I can see all Windows computers by name (so samba can resolve the NetBIOS name), but I can not recover the IP

I have been working on this for about 4 hours so I am extremely frustrated. I am trying to access windows shares from my linux box. I will worry about getting my own data shared afterwards.
I was having the authentication problem described by swerdna's sticky, and it was solved by the upgrade. However apparently that is not the main problem. samba is trying to use my ISP's DNS to resolve the internal network names. I have a vague conceptual understanding of WINS and NetBIOS - but Windows does this without any extra steps. Do I need to configure my machine to also act as a WINS? how do I do that? In my searches I found a thread about "why do windows to linux users give up?" this is why.

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 have a LAN of about 70 computers that I would like to share media files between. I have gotten to the point with Samba that I can view the files without a username/password from client PC's. I would like to make all the folders read only except for one which will be writable for everyone. The thing that I am having a hard time with is allowing a couple of administrators (on Windows 7 machines) read/write access for all files/folders. I am completely new to Ubuntu and Samba so please make explanations thorough. Here is /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

I want to setup a Linux File Server for a small windows network (around 50 users). I do know that I am gona need Smb service/pkg for that. I haven't used Samba for a while now and as per the best of my knowledge, entire communication (including usernames and passwords) between a samba server & windows client machines will be plain text. Is there any way to secure all this communication??
Secondly, if i remember correctly, MS windows wont let me mount more than one samba shares as network disk when all my shares can be accessed by different smb users with different passwords?? is there a solution to this problem? OR may be if there is any other package available for this purpose so that i wont have to use samba?

I am trying to implement a NAS running Debian to replace the Windows 2003 file server.We implemented the system and we integrated it with the active directory. Is it possible to manage the access rights using windows tools and get the same amount of detail(not the right word) on access.As an example, we have the following folder structure:
Teams&Projects All users list, admins full
Team1 All users list, admins full, some users modify
Project1 All users no access, admins full, some modify, some list
I have read some articles on the internet that this is possible but I do not have enough information to implement this.

I just installed SLES 11.2 X86_64 and have SMB Server started after adding 2 lines to smb.conf:1. NTMLv2 = Yes2. name resolve order = wins bcast host lmhostsThere are also 02 new DWORD lines I add to Win7 clientsHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesLanManWorkstationParameters 1.DomainCompatibilityMode = 12. DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0Of course a few number of modifications I made from Yast to enable SMB Server and Client, and bcast as well. Now I am able to join my Linux Domain without error at first reboot from win7, but it seems spending a long time about 30 secs for auth. even I test on a very fast network system, all with core quad 3GHZ CPU and 4GB DDR2I would like to mention here that before I made the above changes I did a lot of different modifications onto my win7 clients (I found many suggestions online), and all seems mess up and never work; Then I had to reinstall win7 from scratch and just add 02 lines as above, but it works.

I have changed my home network a bit, and everything works extremely fast, except for my apache server, which seems to serve webpages so slowly, it is abnormal. Even simple directroy pages are served in around 5 sec, and this is not a joke! It used to work pretty fast. What I have changed is that i replaced a hub with a switch, and that I linked my personal PC with my server together through a hub. I also installed Gnome desktop on the webserver machine. My network now looks like follows:

I have migrated a client's server from Ubuntu 8.04 to 11.04 (they wanted that instead of debian 6 or ubuntu server, despite my best efforts)
The only service still hanging in the balance is samba. It refuses any connections to it and I can not figure out why.
Here is my conf file: (i noticed the interface line is commented out - eth0 is what the machine uses, it was commented out on the old machine and worked though)
Code:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
wins support = no
; wins server = w.x.y.z

I have in my home 3 pc's 2 of them ubuntu, 1 windows/ubuntu. I have a NAS (mybook WD) that I'm going to hack to install a linux OS on it, to take advantage of some benefits. I'll need access from windows networks. I've read there are many benefits of NFS over Samba, with the inconvinient that it cannot be access by windows. Is it a good idea to have both NFS and samba on the file server?

I have an Ubuntu 9.10 Samba file server. I have set up Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix in a home network which also has Windows XP home and Vista computers already present in the network. The XP and Vista machines have no problem accessing the file shares.
The server is running mhddfs with FlexRaid. The security is set to share level access. I have a hosts allow line in the smb.conf file to permit access to certain IP addresses and have added the 10.04 netbook remix IP address to this hosts allow line.
I cannot access shares from the 10.04netbook remix machine if the hosts allow line is active, but have no problem from the windows machines. If i comment out the hosts allow line, all machines can access the share, including the netbook remix machine. I am fairly new to Linux and would appreciate any help in solving this problem.
