Article written in english but french screendumps.

That sucks - try again! 2002-03-06 -+- Mark -+- -+- I've used Win3.11 with encrypted passwords. DOS with TCP/IP also
works fine with encrypted passwords. Novell DOS 7 alson works well.

The trick with DOS is DHCP is on by default, so it will take about
10 minutes to time out. Just turn it off in the setup file before reboot.


2002-03-07 -+- Chuck Sites -+- syschuck at yahoo.com -+- Well this is a question aimed at the Samba group. I've not been
able to find an answer to it in the FAQs. I have a group of Windows
systems behind a Linux masquerading fire wall, and each have a share I need
to access from outside the firewall. Two questions: Is that possible
and how?

I thought I would ask the Samba crew first. Best Regards.

2002-03-08 -+- Arjen -+- arjen#blehq.org -+- >Chuck Sites:
use smbmount to mount the windows shares on your linux firewall and share the parent directory of the mount points using samba. so:

mkdir /export/a
mkdir /export/b
smbmount //hosta/c /export/a
smbmount //hostb/c /export/b

and export /export using samba

thanks 2002-04-27 -+- Laurens -+- -+- It's great! thanks a lot for your information, it helped me a lot :-) 2002-05-29 -+- jared -+- a3on(a)tokyo-3.com -+- very nice info. perhaps someone can help me with a problem i've got.

i don't know if this is simply a deficiency in the microsoft networking suite, or if there is a samba ( 2.2.3a ) option i can enable to help.

the short version of the story is ::

i've got an openbsd PC acting as a catch-all gateway/firewall/samba-server, etc, etc. there are two windows PCs behind it. i'm running a ( seeming to be working 100% ) dhcpd and named on the gateway.

when i goto network neighbourhood on windows client A ( winA ), and browse to the shares of winB, all of the queries for what the shares of winB are are directed to and replied from gateway, i've got it setup to be a domain master browser/login controller, and that seems to be the way it ought to be. i can sniff those packets with either tcpdump or ethereal.,

winA can also browse to winA ( itself ) via network neighbourhood -- however, it can not map any drives it has shared to itself ( \\winA\share1 -> E: , for example ); i receive the error : "the computer or sharename could not be found."
also, on winA, if you goto start and run, and type '\\winA', it comes up with a non-helpful error of: "\\winA , an extended error has occurred."
and last, if i goto a dos prompt and do 'net view \\winA', i get a timeout after 2 mins, with 'error 55: the specified resource is not available'.

everything else seems to work fine. one can do \\winB from the start,run of winA with no issues -- i can map drives of other computers just how i want to.

i don't know if it is related: the netbios names of the computers in question are the same as the hostnames their local IPs resolve to due to the named configuration i'm using ( which would seem a logical method, no? ).

on the surface, and even underneath the surface, everything works -- but i am not the type to accept all my w9x PCs not being able to properly function with respect to themselves as a sound network config. i could provide my smb.conf if it would help, i just don't want to paste it in now as it is a lot of text... it has proven quite difficult to find the solution to this issue ( or even to find record of others noticing this issue ) on the net. it's quite an exhaspirating situation, as all my attempts to find the fix have been fruitless.

Hi all

I’m trying to set up my Linux (RedHat 7.3) as a PDC, I think I’m nearly there I can get PC’s to join the domain but have a problem storing profiles.
The windows error I get is as follows: -
Windows can not create profile directory \\kyle\netlogon\mandy.pds
You will be logged on with a local profile only, changes to you profile will not be propagated to the server, please contact your administrator.

The PC that I’m trying to connect from is running windows 2k Professional with service pack 3. My smb.conf is as follows: -

[global]
path = /var/spool/samba
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

null passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
wins support = true

security = user
unix password sync = Yes
workgroup = INTERNET
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
netbios name = kyle
load printers = yes
os level = 64

domain master = yes
local master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon path = \\%L\netlogon\%u
logon drive = H:
logon home = \\%L\%U\profiles
logon script = logon.bat
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u


[Netlogon]

[Profiles]

Thanks and hope you can help
