[00:17]<snjw>hey, why when I am doing
[00:17]<snjw>mount -t cifs //TOMAS/download /somewhere
[00:17]<snjw>it takes so long time?
[00:18]<snjw>exit
[00:21]<trs0>quick question
[00:21]<trs0>I have to migrate 10 local profiles and create roaming profiles
[00:22]<trs0>how would I convert their current local profiles into roaming profiles?
[00:22]<pz2-wjzc>ok, I really don't need this much logging in samba
[00:22]<pz2-wjzc>5 lines of syslog spew just to tell me I am now a local browser?
[00:47]<pyvgyzjg>any good tuts on configuring samba to look at an openldap db for username/password info?
[00:50]<gmmugmj_v>fiveiron, http://www.nomis52.net/?section=docs&page=samldap, its debian based
[00:58]<pyvgyzjg>thx
[01:20]<fgwdudy>edmundo is a genius
[01:20]<fgwdudy>thanks edmundo... for helping me get up and running!
[02:02]<etzjgyc>Hi all, I have a printer shared from Linux, but access to it from Windows keeps asking for login , how can I automate/avoid this login popup ?
[02:59]<fzgznzfvzz>I'm having a problem with Samba 3.0.22. I'm trying to allow users to change their samba passwords via Windows' ctrl-alt-del change password program. Every time I try to change the password via Windows XP it gives me an error saying "You do not have permission to change your password."
[04:25]<x1x_vydj>how do i set up a samba share to mount itself automatically each boot?

[05:25]<wygxlnzvs>lancealtar, check passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . and unix passwd sync = yes
[05:25]<wygxlnzvs>unix password sync = yes
[05:25]<wygxlnzvs>rather

[06:39]<sjfzzan>When attempting to integrate Samba with Active Directory and wishing to have local authentication on your Linux server be done against the Active Directory domain, is the common method still to use LDAP and have it query a Domain Controller or is using winbind via PAM preferred?
[06:51]<gmmugmj_v>solarce, what do you mean with "use LDAP to query a DC"? Normally winbind is used to map the users of the AD with local IDs and these accounts are accessed through NSS and PAM
[06:52]<gmmugmj_v>but you still have the local password files available to use with only local users
[06:52]<sjfzzan>edmundo_v: some of the howtos/articles reference setting up an ldap daemon that will query the Domain Controller
[06:54]<gmmugmj_v>point one, I whould not say thats impossible, but anyway, normally LDAP is used to store the mappings
[06:54]<gmmugmj_v>if you want to use the same mappings in multiple domain members, as winbind maps the accounts as they are seen
[07:01]<gmmugmj_v>hmm, you can extend the AD schema with AD4Unix too and store unix account information there too, but anyway I dont know how many people do that
[07:02]<sjfzzan>I'm trying to allow people to use their AD domain accounts to ssh into a FC4 server
[07:05]<gmmugmj_v>where did you saw that way of query AD with LDAP?
[07:07]<gmmugmj_v>with multiple clients you can for example, store the idmap mappings in an ldap server, and make the clients use that mapping through winbind to make it the same for all clients
[07:08]<gmmugmj_v>without that the same AD user will have different unix IDs in every system
[07:11]<sjfzzan>I can't recall which article it was that actually has you do some LDAP configuration, but I thought perhaps I was missing that because I have Samba able to authenticate against the Domain for other network resources and I can login at the local console with a domain user, but I am not able to access shares on the local machine exported by Samba with a Domain user nor can I access the machine via ssh with a domain user
[07:12]<gmmugmj_v>well, if you want that these ADs accounts be valid only in the FC4 server, winbind is only necessary in that server
[07:13]<gmmugmj_v>to that accounts be valid locally in the server, it must be correctly configured in PAM and NSS
[07:14]<gmmugmj_v>but I never tested these accounts being used to access resources in a domain member
[07:14]<sjfzzan>I believe that PAM must be configured as I can login to the local console with a domain user, but I'm not able to login via ssh
[07:14]<gmmugmj_v>but they works well in ssh, gdm, etc
[07:15]<gmmugmj_v>normally its configured in the /etc/pam.d/login file
[07:16]<gmmugmj_v>thers a ssh file too
[07:17]<gmmugmj_v>you can compare them and see if only login includes a pam_winbind module for authentication
[07:17]<gmmugmj_v>if you really use winbind
[07:17]<sjfzzan>I did perform the winbind setup for PAM, but perhaps I didn't get the ssh file correct
[07:19]<gmmugmj_v>depends of the system, some distribution allow the use of "includes" and you can configure it once in a file for all services
[07:56]<sjfzzan>edmundo_v is my hero, his advice fixed my problem
[07:56]<sjfzzan>edmundo_v: thank you so much
[08:08]<svgvgggr>I have been running samba for some time with no problems up till a recent reboot.. lost power and such and now when I try to start samba, I get the following error:
[08:08]<svgvgggr>I have been running samba for some time with no problems up till a recent reboot.. lost power and such and now when I try to start samba, I get the following error:
[08:08]<svgvgggr>Starting SMB services: smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.2.so.7:
[08:09]<svgvgggr> cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[08:09]<svgvgggr>I checked to see if the file exists and sure enough it does... in /usr/lib/
[08:12]<gmmugmj_v>StevenER, you can put a "log level = 2" in smb.conf and search in the logs for any "bad magic" entries
[08:13]<gmmugmj_v>maybe some tdb file is corrupted
[08:13]<svgvgggr>seems some other things are complaining bout libldap
[08:14]<gmmugmj_v>are you using ldap as a backend?
[08:14]<svgvgggr>yes...
[08:15]<gmmugmj_v>put that log level, and restart samba
[08:15]<gmmugmj_v>maybe it write something in the logs when started
[08:16]<gmmugmj_v>pointing something wrong with the backend or tdb files
[08:16]<gmmugmj_v>maybe the ldap itself can be corrupted or in deadlock
[08:16]<svgvgggr>same thing.. failed... with loading that library and i realised on system startup, some other things failed with the same message
[08:16]<svgvgggr>should I try reinstalling ldap?
[08:16]<gmmugmj_v>no
[08:17]<gmmugmj_v>if you stop ldap, it gives the same error?
[08:18]<svgvgggr>yep
[08:21]<gmmugmj_v>does it write anything to the logs?
[08:21]<svgvgggr>nothing in samba no
[08:22]<gmmugmj_v>which distribution are you using?
[08:22]<svgvgggr>fedora core 3.. they told me to reinstall libldap
[08:23]<gmmugmj_v>well, could be
[08:23]<gmmugmj_v>maybe a corrupted library
[08:26]<svgvgggr>how do I go about reinstalling that library?
[08:28]<gmmugmj_v>I dont use fedora, I dont know how its package system works or handles dependecies
[08:30]<svgvgggr>welll I tried installing the newest I could find of ldconfig, now its asking for post_ldconfig
[08:43]<gmmugmj_v>Im going to sleep, bye to all.
