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!
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.
This 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.
[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:
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.
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 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:
root@LittleCode:/usr/share/smbldap-configure# smbldap-useradd -a -m moquist 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. root@LittleCode:/usr/share/smbldap-configure#
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?
I was wondering if anyone has came across this error when dealing with SAMBA.
[url]is the error and the 'fix'.
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.
I 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 have configured samba on my server but when i access shared directory but i can't its gives error.......
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4] Server not using user level security and no password supplied. tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
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.
Samba 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).
I have just started working through the book Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MYSQL, and in the installation section I am required to find a file called php5isapi.dll for the IIS, but I have downloaded the latest version of PHP - PHP 5.2.2 and I cannot find this file...
I got the following message after creating my test php script. Can someone explain what

I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could do an ffmpeg, flvtool2, mencoder installation on my CentOS 5.2 VPS for $10. I need it to be able to run phpmotion / youtube clone scripts...
I purchased an EV SSL Cert, and all is fine. Installed via cPanel, and I get the green address bar in Firefox, but not in IE.
Comodo (the vendor) have an Auto-Enhancer feature which automatically tells IE to give me a green bar. They state in their FAQ the following instructions to install the feature:
Replace the bundle file that is in use for the web site.
Use the 'SSLCertificateChainFile' directive instead of the 'SSLCACertificateFile'/'SSLCACertificatePath' directives.
I have download a .CA-BUNDLE file from them.
Please tell me, now what do I do? I am at a lost at their instuctions, and going by my dealings with them, I think I can get help from you guys more accurately and quickly.
The server runs WHM/cPanel 11 with Apache 2 with mod_ssl. Full root access, but I am a Linux newbie.
What do people mean by profesional installation, for example if I have a forum professionally installed could I expect this to be with phpmyadmin and apache and the mod_rewrite, or are these more custom aspects?
I have WAMP 2.0 installed on my Windows Vista. WAMP has released a new version: 2.0G. I've just downloaded it and i'm wondering if i could just run the installer or do i have to uninstall my current WAMP and then only install the latest version?
We wanted to put up a nagios server for monitoring around 9 - 12 servers and couldn't find any real specs on what kind of machines are required for nagios.
Any leads on what kind of machines would do? My concern was the RAM requirement - if nagios works well on low end machines, it may make sense for us to host it on some VPS.
Wanted to check in with people who run nagios installations and their experiences.
We are having problem with installing mod_evasive on our server. We tried installing it on our Virtual Machine that runs Fedora 7 (on our server, we have Fedora core 5), and on Virtual Machine it is fine, we can compile it and put it in our Apache2 conf file.
However, when we try
[root@ mod_evasive]# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/apxs -i -a -c mod_evasive20.c on the server, we get a
Can this be interpreted as a malware (procede the following steps with caution).
After visiting miniclip.com/games/super-gerball/en/ without me clickiing on anything and confirming that I want to Install a game, a new folder is created in my Windows Start Menu and in a Documents and Settings folder.
Although I believe no harm is actually done with this installation, can attacker use this method to install a malware? How can I prevent this, what options should I change in my Firefox browser?
