Thomas, See the man page for this option.  It should never be
set on printers for which you want to install drivers on the server.

I've just uploaded the 3.0.21c packages for sarge.
They should be soon available on the mirrors.

Have Fun,
Simo.

Re: Samba 3 by Example - chapter 5 & 6 ( Manager -> sambaadmin)

Hi Gordon,

This is my admin-accts.ldif;
---------------------------------------------------------------
dn: cn=updateuser,dc=tinistuff,dc=com
objectClass: person
cn: updateuser
sn: updateuser
userPassword: {crypt}ABiELdbxGY2fY

dn: cn=sambaadmin,dc=tinistuff,dc=com
objectClass: person
cn: sambaadmin
sn: sambaadmin
userPassword: {crypt}ABiELdbxGY2fY

----------------------------------------------------------------

So the ldap server is stopped, I add these entries; and restart ldap.

[root <at> node1 scripts]# slapadd -v -l admin-accts.ldif
added: "cn=updateuser,dc=tinistuff,dc=com" (00000002)
added: "cn=sambaadmin,dc=tinistuff,dc=com" (00000003)
Error, entries missing!
  entry 1: dc=tinistuff,dc=com

[root <at> node1 programs]# ldapsearch -x -D "cn=sambaadmin,dc=tinistuff,dc=com" 
-W uid=sambaadmin
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

If you dump the database, does "dc=tinistuff,dc=com" show up in there? 
It looks like the entry for the base DN is missing, which might explain 
the problems that you're having.

That's the one. We are indeed sharing volumes from the Samba server 
which have been mounted via NFS, perhaps this is indeed an issue?

Can't log in new users

We have Samba 3.0.9 on SuSE acting as a PDC for our Windows clients 
(mainly XP, some 2k). We have the problem that sometimes newly created 
users can't log in, Windows says that the domain is not available. We 
checked all network settings on the client machines, and everythings 
fine, for our existing users also everything is okay. When I create a 
new user on the Samba server and try to log in, then I get the "domain 
not available" message again. A strange thing is that "net view 
server_name" on one of the clients very often says that the server has 
reached it's maximum connections, although we didn't specify a max 
connection limit. When a login attempt fails, there's no error at all in 
the Samba logs or in the Windows event log. When I just try to log in 
the new user again and again, then it sometimes suddenly works 
perfectly, and once it works it never fails again.

Any ideas what could be the problem? If you need more info, please tell me!

Thanks,
Tom

Re: Authenticating to AD with usernames containing dots

You mean using the principal name and not the sAMAccountName,
right?  Not currently (at least not last time I looked).  I
admit we need to address this.

Samba assumes posix locking semantics on the filesystem.
NFS locking is broken.  You might try setting
'strict locking = no'.  If that doesn't work, you might
try 'posix locking = no' just as a test.
