SAMBA PDC Roaming Profiles Issue

Yawar_Aziz — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 03:06:42 -0400

Hi all

I am facing a problem.

I have configured SAMBA PDC on RHEL 6. Everything is going very smooth. Users are being logged in properly & their network drives (i-e; z: drives) are being shown. But either i login to Windows XP or Windows 7, user's profile does not get loaded. I get an error message, "You are logged in with a temporary profile". It would be so nice of you if anyone among you could guide me properly for how to resolve this issue.

A swift response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks/Regards

secure automatic connection to MS-Windows file share (cifs)

daves dad — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 09:05:12 -0500

I can mount a windows file share with sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=~/Files/server-mount/credentials //sbs2008/local ~/Files/server-mount/. I would like to do this but:

~~Without root privileges.~~ (I can do this one, if I solve the other two.)
Without storing password, unencrypted.
Automatically on login.

I am using kubuntu 11.10

Strange problems accessing smb share from Ubuntu machine

Ricky Wee — Tue, 25 May 2010 08:01:19 -0400

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 connecting to a samba server (version 3.0.33-3.28.el5) running on CentOS. Right now I'm experiencing strange problems accessing the server via smb.

Issue 1: After upgrading CentOS from 5.4 to 5.5, I'm encountering errors on the samba server when editing files on the home directory from my Ubuntu machine. The home directory is mounted via fstab. The file will still open and close but only after a long delay. The strange thing is that these errors occur when editing on the home share but not on the other shares.

Error log on samba server:
May 24 16:39:03 mango smbd[15325]: [2010/05/24 16:39:03, 0] smbd/trans2.c:unix_filetype(1011)
May 24 16:39:24 mango smbd[15325]: unix_filetype: unknown filetype 448unix_filetype: unknown filetype 448unix_filetype: unknown filetype 448unix_filetype: unknown filetype 448192.168.1.100 (192.168.1.100) closed connection to service rickyw

smb.conf configuation on server:
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/%u/documents
veto files = /.cmd/.com/.exe/.msi/.pif/.sys/autorun.inf/
delete veto files = yes
browseable = no
writable = yes

fstab entry on Ubuntu PC:
//mango/rickyw /media/mango-rickyw cifs auto,credentials=/home/rickyw/.smbpasswd 0 0

Issue 2: When I mount shares via nautilus, I am not able to open openoffice.org files. Instead, the files are opened with file roller showing an empty list. I am able to open the files if they are located on local drives or shares mounted via fstab.

Running Fedora 13 from VirtualBox in Ubuntu, there were no issues or errors at all. Any idea where I should look at? What do the errors mean?

Connect via SSH/Samba from 1 box to a hidden box (NAT/PAT?) setup?

Ian Vaughan — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:02:58 -0400

I need to access a Linux box via SSH & Samba that is hidden/connected behind another one.

Setup :-

  
 A        switch    B         C
|----|    |---|    |----|    |----|
|eth0|----|   |----|eth0|    |    |
|----|    |---|    |eth1|----|eth1|
                   |----|    |----|

Eg, SSH/Samba from A to C

How does one go about this?
I was thinking that it cannot be done via IP alone? Or can it?

Could B say "hi on eth0, if your looking for 192.168.0.2, its here on eth1"?
Is this NAT? This is a large private network, so what about if another PC has that IP?!

More likely it would be PAT?
A would say "hi 192.168.109.15:1234"
B would say "hi on eth0, traffic for port 1234 goes on here eth1"
How could that be done?

And would the SSH/Samba demons see the correct packet header info and work??

IP info :-

A - eth0 - 192.168.109.2
B - eth0 - 192.168.109.15
  - eth1 - 192.168.0.1
C - eth1 - 192.168.0.2

A, B & C are RHEL (RedHat) But Windows computers can be connected to the switch. I configured the 192.168.0.* IPs, they are changeable.

Any help?
