Im running a redhat server with samba version 3.0.25b..
I dont think it even has winbind, and I need it to join the windows active domain so people can log in and access files etc..
ive searched everywhere to find a nice wget ftp url so i could get the rpm and just install the thing..but is nowhere to be found. I tried installing some random version of the winbind that I COULD find...but no luck, wouldnt work.
I'm currently trying out SAMBA, and having a few last minute issues:
I got both of my centos servers to run samba fine, the mount from serverA to serverB is great... the only problem is that it can't DIR/LS the mounted/shared folder for browsing and viewing. Here is my current smb.conf:
[global]
netbiosname = superpix
security = USER
password level = 4
os level = 64
domain master = yes
local master = yes
prefered master = yes
browsable = yes
writable = yes
locking = no
case sensitive = no
default case = lower
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = no
encrypt passwords = Yes
workgroup = superpix
[homes]
read only = no
browseable = no
[shared]
path = /san
interfaces = eth1 lo
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = 10.222.0.
browseable = yes
write list =root, admin
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0777
public = yes
valid users = admin
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... but I can access the files in that folder fine from another server, i just can list/dir the darn thing.
how can we ridiculously speed up SAMBA connections?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThis is a little samba guide from my own experiences of how to map a network drive under windows 2000 to a Linux server. I am not technical expert and this guide is the result from my trail and error.
What's Samba?
Samba allows Linux computers to share files and printers across a network connection. By using its SMB protocol, your Linux box can appear in Windows Network Neighborhood or My Network Places just like any other windows machine. You can share files this way, as well as printers. By using samba on my home network, for example, my Windows machines have access to a printer directly hooked up to my Linux box, and my Linux box has access to a printer directly hooked up to one of my Windows machines. In addition, everyone can access everyone else's shared files. You can see how samba can be very useful if you have a network of both Windows as well as Linux machines.
My OSs
Windows 2000
RHEL 3 (Redhat Enterprise Linus)
My goal
Map a network drive to Linux servers, so that I can access the Linux files under windows 2000.
Installation
Most Linux should have Samba already installed. But if it hasn't install, you can find at in http://rpmfind.net or using up2date command "up2date -i samba". You can also get it at http://www.samba.org
Then you can install it by tying the following Command:
Install:
rpm -i samba.rpm
Upgrade:
rpm -U samba.rpm
Configuration
Samba conf file is located at /etc/samba/smb.conf, allows you to specify which resources on the Linux machine you wish to share and who they can be accessed by.
Samba provide a full version conf if it's fresh install. But most of the times, we don't really need all of these options. So I provide my own conf here, which is rather simple, but it makes things work.
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = LinuxBOX
hosts allow = your_windows_machine_IP
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
[Downloads]
comment = Downloads
path = /path_to_your_sharefolder
browseable = yes
writable = yes
public = yes
read only = no
[homes]
comment = My Home Directory
browseable = yes
writable = yes
public = yes
read only = no
[printers]
path = /var/spool/samba
public = yes
guest ok = yes
printable = yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
Just replace workgroup to your windows workgroup name, your_windows_machine_IP and /path_to_your_sharefolder. If you don't need printers sharing, you don't need to have printer section.
Setup Samba Users
Since we're using user level security, we need to setup samba users. This can be easily done by using Webmin. You can go to Server --> Samba --> Convert Unix users to Samba users, you can just covert all your existing Linux users and set them password under the icon "Edit Samba users and passwords" later.
If you don't use webmin, you can also type the following command:
cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
smbpasswd username
Replace username with each of your user's usernames. You will then be prompted to enter a password for this user account.
Samba Service
Now, it's time to start your samba server:
service smb start
service smb stop
service smb restart
Once the computer is restarted or shutdown, the samba service won't start up again in next boot up. I use webmin to make it startup at boot time.
Windows 2000 Configuration
1. Under windows 2000, you can got to windows explorer --> Tools --> map a network drive
2. select drive letter
3. enter the path (e.g. your_server_ipDownloads)
4. click connect using different user name
5. enter your samba usernaem and password that you just set
6. You can connect to your Linux machine now!
This method work for me. If there is any correction or improvements, please let me know.
I'm trying to setup a PDC Login server with SAMBA+LDAP (in separate servers).
How can I test if SAMBA is trying to login properly into the LDAP server?
I'm struggling hard to integrate a group of windows boxes to authenticate with a Linux samba/ldap server (with personal mapped drives as well).

I am trying to install samba-3.2.1 from source.
To give a short background, I download the src zip and unpack it to local.
go into the file and run a
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-winbind --prefix=/usr/local/samba --with-smbwrapper --with-pam --with-pam-smbpass
make
make install
When I try to run
/usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
I get this message
Error while loading shared libraries : libtalloc.so.1 : cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
I searched online and found this solution, which sounds like they know what they are talking about..only problem is..I dont!

We've got a Linux box running ProFTPd reaches a Windows box over SAMBA. This works very well but when the client has a great number of files, the FTP Windows-based FTP clients they use don't always give accurate directory listings (if any at all). I know there's some bug in the way SAMBA works with Windows File Sharing but I don't know what the magic file number is that, when reached, prevents a proper directory listing. Does anyone know what this magic number is or if there's an available, tested fix for this?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone has came across this error when dealing with SAMBA.

I have about 50users that can connect just fine, running sp2 (xp pro) but some other users that have xp home or media center can't. There running sp2 and they still get the above error. In the article i need to contact MS for the hotfix...
Any quick fixes other then maybe changing then workgroup?
Netbios is enabled
All can ping the server.
Z drive is OK for use (IE there PC doesnt have a Z drive in use)
I'm currently running SAMBA on one my linux servers, and wanting to connect to it from another linux server.
1. Do I need to install SAMBA on the connecting server (client-side)?
2. I can see/mount the SAMBA folder just fine, I can delete,make,etc. The only thing I can't do on the client side is change ownership of a file or folder... even if I'm logged in as root.
how to preserve permissions the same 1:1 after mounting the remote resource with samba mount cause currectly the permissions are changing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI think the samba add on for Plesk 12 is not correctly implemented for CentOS 7.To get smb users added I first had to manually install the samba-client, since smbpasswd was missing:
Code:
yum install samba-client Next I had to manually run
Code:
chcon -R -t samba_share_t /var/www/vhosts/my-server.tld/ for each share to be able to access it...
I am trying to isolate different users in a directory and subdirectories.
Case:-
Directory A --> Sub A

I want everybody to be able to access "Directory A" but limited access to "Sub A", "Sub B" and "Sub C". How can i achieve that?
Currently, all users that are able to access "Directory A" can go in "Sub A", "Sub B" and "Sub C".

The scenario is like this I have Plesk + IIS + windows server and I want to store Plesk backups to a partition in linux server. So I have created a samba share and mounted it under the windows server. the issue showing is it is not possible to write to samba shared partition.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSamba accesses can be restricted to certain IP / ranges through the access tab in the Plesk Samba extension screen.This builds the /etc/samba/ smb. conf.include file with entered information.All well and good so far.
This file contains the standard 'do not modify...' text, so making manual changes directly here is undesirable. In Plesk are some Linux commands such as /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler through which permitted changes can be made from the command line.
Is there a similar command included which would allow a shell script to make changes in a supported manner like the /usr/local/psa/bin/php_handler file does? any changes the script makes can be seen in the Plesk Panel and unless admin changes them through the panel will be persistent.
I have a rented VPS with 2TB of disk space and a plesk license in order to host the sites that i develop and my sites, and found myself with around 1.8TB of free space, plesk samba management and plesk vpn management but with few missing pieces for my idea. My idea was to setup vpn tunneling between my laptop and desktop to plesk server and access samba share from the server like they were in my LAN.In the firewall I have opened only the classic mail and web ports (obviously plesk access too).

View 4 Replies View RelatedAfter spending nearly 4 days trying to get ftp working on my server i still haven't achieved it. I got a server with a default install of plesk and cent os 4. I update to 8.2 and when i first go to try ftp it says "server closed connection" on my ftp client.
So then i tried updating 8.2 again and the installer failed. So i tried manually installing both proftpd and pureftpd via ssh and yum and it fails to install. I've also restarted the server a few times. I've tried logging in with every single username/domain/i.p. assigned to the server. and i've had no luck.
I installed Lighttpd + PHP 5.2.1 with FastCGI
Any php page that starts with <?php is working fine..
but when the page starts with only <?, it does not work
how does SSH work and really what is it.
This is my knowledge, I may be wrong or right:
There are two ways of controlling your server, through control panel and through SSH, now SSH is where you type in codes to control your server.
Now from what I know you can't login to SSH alot due to security reasons.
I was wondering, if I have a forum can I login to SSH everyday to back up the database?
Whenever I tried to upload large files to my server it restarts the upload again and again and never actually uploads. It just keeps overwriting the previous file. I don't get any errors? It just automatically reuploads and overwrites the files everytime.

I would like to know how servers work, like how to build, set up, and how they work, what software is in them? Also could I own a server and send them to a data center and host them there?
Also a little infomation on Data Center. Could you share me some knowlage.
some clarification with regards to Reverse DNS.
An example ip: xx.xxx.xxx.xx is owned by A Company via a DC. The they have their name allocated to the netname and description when i look up their ip address.
I have my ip xx.xxx.xxx.xx this is me and it currently contains my DC's name throughout when i look it up as the description and netname...
Both are from the same DC however the other company has their name allocated to the ip address and i would like to do the same. Does this require Reverse DNS? It dosent involve domains surely does it?

I have been using apache and php-cgi and it works well together but when I tried to use
mod_rewrite it stopped working and I got "Internal Server Error" result.
Apache error log showed "FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server"
I think that mod_rewrite rules are ok because when I refer to some HTML file then it all works.
