SAMBA
Apr 16, 2007I'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.
Map Network Drive By Using Samba
Jun 30, 2005This 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.
SAMBA+LDAP Connection

How can I test if SAMBA is trying to login properly into the LDAP server?
Getting Winbind To Work With Samba
Aug 1, 2008Im 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.
SAMBA/LDAP Integration
Nov 17, 2008I'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 get stuck in this error:

Error looking for next uid in cn=NextFreeUnixId,dc=activespace,dc=local:value does not conform to assertion syntax at /usr/share/perl5/smbldap_tools.pm line 1071.

Samba Installation: Libtalloc.so.1
Aug 6, 2008I 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!

ProFTPd To Windows Over SAMBA
Mar 14, 2008We'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?

Samba Chown Operation Not Permitted
May 22, 2007I'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.

Plesk 11.x / Windows :: Does Backup Support Samba Share
Mar 31, 2014The 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 RelatedPlesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Limit Samba Accesses To Certain IP / Ranges
Jul 18, 2014Samba 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.
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Setup VPM Tunneling - Access Samba Share From Server
Aug 18, 2014I 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).

Sep 14, 2007I am having some serious speed issues with my 1Gbit server at FDC. After opening a ticket, they've simply dismissed it as a server configuration problem. However I am convinced it isn't because certain ISP's (usually universities) get good speeds, usually 700kb/sec but the vast majority of my users get between 20-50 kb/sec and it's causing a lot of complaints.
Furthermore I have other servers with FDC which are 100mbit which perform better than my 1 Gbit one. There are no server bottlenecks (CPU/RAM/HDD), since I've closely monitored them (PRTG) and they aren't even heavily utilised. So the problem is with the network at some point.

Samba Server :: Can Linux And Windows Exist On The Same Server?
Jan 10, 2008I have a linux server for a video sharring site
The video encoder that I prefer to use will only work in a windows enviorment
The windows server would pass off the converted video to the Linux server.
Will a Samba server for Linux allow a Linux machine to connect and share files with a Windows machine work for this application.
Although it's probably a dumb question but can Linux and Windows exist on the same server?
Best Speed
May 22, 2007After reading tons and tons of messages on these forums... I have decided to get a VPS from KnownHost or SLhost.com.
KnownHost packages are a bit more expensive than SLHost (prepaying 6 months), however I am not looking to save a buck or two. I want the best speed for the money.
Can anyone tell me which of these two has the best performance (server performance and bandwidth performance) for the money?
KnownHost offers:
200GB Premium Bandwidth
256MB Guaranteed RAM Burstable to 768 MB
10 GB Disk Space
$5 - Control Panel
$402 per year with Control Panel
SLHost offers:
300 GB Bandwidth
384 Guaranteed RAM (Burstable unknown?)
20 GB Storage
4 IPs
Free Control Panel
$389.64 per year
Just trying to figure out which one would give me the best performance...

It's located in Kansas city, MO.
