Re: write permission

Hi Charles,
I'm not sure what permissions you have or much about your setup, but 
perhaps 'force user = ' could help you out here, or 'force group = ' in 
your smb.conf. Check out sticky bits, and chapter 12 of the official 
howto, and you should be well on your way. As far as I know there is no 
direct way to force permission inheritance, but if anyone has 
suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Good luck with it

Re: New user Questions on passwords

Unfortunately I have no experience with SWAT, so there may be some thing 
I'm not aware of, but I would suggest: 1) check that the user name you 
are logging in as has an account on the linux box, 2) set their password 
again just to be sure, 3) at command line type smbpasswd <username> and 
if that doesn't work, you know your smbpasswd file is the missing link, 
and to remedy it smbpasswd -a <username>. If you want to check which 
people are registered as samba users (not sure if SWAT does this?) go to 
/etc/samba/private/smbpasswd, and you can see them all.

Oh, and as far as I know you should always be able to login as 'root' 
<root-password>, so I'm surprised you're having this trouble...

If you've checked all that, keep in mind you can only have one open 
connecion, so something like 'map to guest = bad user' could be causing 
you to log in as a guest, stopping your ability to log in as a real 
user. Can't think of much else off-hand, if none of this helps, perhaps 
you could add some more information about your setup.

Good luck!

Oh, and you are entering user names in win2k, right?

Workstation XXXXXX$: no account in domain

Hi all,

I'm trying to do the same thing "create machine accounts on the fly" and i
cant get it to work.  I have  the same configuration as TOM but the message
that I am getting in the samba log file is

[2004/09/01 00:19:38, 0] rpc_server/srv_netlog_nt.c:get_md4pw(244)
  get_md4pw: Workstation BAGHDAD$: no account in domain

What could we be doing wrong?

What version of Samba is your customer running and what version of Samba
are you testing with ? More information would help here.

Jeremy.

Printing help from Windows XP

Hello,

I'm trying to get priting working from a Windows XP box to a printer
that's been shared via SAMBA.

I can browse the printer fine, and can print fine from linux, but not from
Windows.

The following errors appear in the SAMBA log for the windows host I'm printing from:

lp: unable to print file: client-error-not-found
lpstat: Unknown destination "level3-bw"!

The error_log for CUPS, reports:

print_job: resource name '/printers/lvl3-bw' no good!

For reference, here's my smb.conf:

[global]
         netbios name = HOMER
         server string = HOMER
         workgroup = HOMENET
         passdb backend = tdbsam
         os level = 64
         preferred master = yes
         domain master = yes
         local master = yes
         security = user
         encrypt passwords = yes

Some guesses:

1) Probably your locale is not set up correctly.
2) try "dos charset = cp437", "unix charset=ISO-8859-1" (the default for 
unix charset is UTF-8).
3) If you do want to use UTF-8 (not recommended if you also run anything 
other than SAMBA), you will have to rename files. You will be able to do 
that in a batch with the "convmv" program:

http://j3e.de/linux/convmv/convmv-1.08.tar.gz

You will still have to convert all UNIX txt files to UTF-8 with iconv 
and throw Midnight Commander out of the window, if you adopt the 
solution (3).

Re: New user Questions on passwords

I've had a LOT of problems with this.  First make sure that the Win box 
is using Samba as NetBIOS name server.  Make sure that the samba server 
IS the domain master browser.  Do a Netstat -an on the windows box when 
browsin, see what port the Win box is trying to connect to.  IF MS 
client is issuing port 445 connects, this by-passes nmbd and you cannot 
authenticate using a netbiios name, only by IP-Addy.  This has been my 
experience.
