Hi, I still cannot log on with ssh or via unc \\servername\. not sure if i am using the correct format for a username though, tried username, [email protected], username+fqdn.co.uk, username+netbios, etc I have another issue, it appears that if i leave the machine for a period of time i seem to lose my connection to AD. I then receive: [2010/06/25 10:26:44, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(191) ads_connect: Invalid credentials after i try the sudo net ads join -U Administrator command. I try and run

hi i may have configured the home directory section incorrectly, i used the samba homedirectory wiki, which mayb be a little convoluted for me. Have you got a simple home example i could maybe use for testing. Thanks.

Yes i have that line in there.

Hello, Made some slight progress with getting samba and AD to work together. When i restart machine, i have to restart some services after i ssh back into linux. krb5-admin-server and krb5-kdc Then i have to rejoin net ads join -u Administrator i then get wbinfo -g and wbinfo -u to work I am not sure then waht to do. I dont seem to be able to log into ssh using AD accounts, and i wasnt able to use a UNC path to samba with an AD accounts credentials either. Whats my next step anyone. Thanks.

Thanks I was trying to work through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/Kerberos But i fell at the first hurdle, which always seems to be the case with these linux tutorials. kadmin -p admin/admin Authenticating as principal admin/admin with password. kadmin: Client not found in Kerberos database while initializing kadmin interface I then proceded to spend rest of day looking at other tutorials that had me: kadmin.local: listprincs kadmin.local -q "addprinc admin/admin" all sorts of stuff basically. But am now going to have a look at this other one on notrainers. Cheers

I heard some people mention they used samba for their file servers seemlessly in their windows domains. Just wondered if anyone can give me any tips, mainly on which security they use. Is it best to try and incorporate active directory security with linux, or do you just use samba security? Thanks.

I ran adprep commands and tried to join 2008 as DC , but still get flagged and told to run adprep. Wonder if the x64bit is the issue. I read that you can only run adprep off a 32bit DVD, on a 32bit server, so thats waht i did.

Is this going to take the functional level up to 2008? I thought that I was supposed to keep the functinal level at 2003, to have them both run together? Is this not the case? Will i be able to run them side by side from then on if I run through the adprep? Thanks

Thanks Is it straightforward to set 2008 to run in 2003 mode or schema?

Is it ill advised to have 2 domain controllers, one with 32bit 2003 svr std, and the other with 2008 R2 standard? Thanks

Hello Probably something simple, but i cannot install 2003 svr on proliant ml115 I have raid 5 configured Basically waht happens is that when i run through the install and i get to the Welcome to setup screen, i cant press enter, keyboard is non responsive. if i press f6 to load scsi i get: Virtual install disk must be disabled in RBSU(F9 duting boot) to use this floppy), it then loads the files on usb floppy, i finish that and run through rest of initial install, i get to Welcome to setup screen, i try to press enter to cont. and then i get the same non responsive keyboard i am using a ps2 keyboard anyone help thanks

Hello, is it worth having an IRC channel on irc.freenode.net? Thinking about setting one up. Maybe too many people have irc filtered though

i couldnt get my router to route. i had subnet with router then second subnet, with a gw to internet on it. I was told to add the gw of inside subnet to the internet router, and this seemed to work. my next question would be to find a simple pf ruleset that allows only incoming ssh traffic from certain ip ranges, and obviusly all out going traffic generated from internal network can get back in thanks

i have started adding entries and then deleting them. seems to work. i will add route add 192.168.0.1 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254 metric 30 then do same but with delete instead of add

192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.10 30 One of the entries i want rid of

Hi, Am trying to delete some routes from routing table on windows. I keep getting error "the route specified was not found" have tried: route delete 192.168.0.1 route delete 192.168.0.0 route delete 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 route delete 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 route delete 192.168.0.1 mask 255.255.255.0 route delete 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.10 metric 1 if 1 Nothing works.

Hello, Have been trying to get usernames into the access.log as opposed to just ip addresses within dansguardian. I used to have a cache server that did all this, but wanted to do it on the cheap with my own linux setup. I think the cache had some sort of intergration with AD through squid. I tried some examples like: PaperCut KB | Configuring Squid on Linux to authenticate with Active Directory but have still not got very far. aghhh anyone got any help please? Thanks

Hello Anyone know how to let a restricted user run a macro in access 2003, by using group policy. Or any other method thanks

Hello, I am having a problem with esxi on ML115. I recently set this up as esxi server. It seemed to be working fine. I created 2 virtual machines on it, windows and linux. I physically moved the unit and now it wont boot. I just get a blank screen with flashing cursor. I check bios and see in the post screen the HDDs are detected. I am not sure what problem may be. Am just running memtest at the moment. Anyone any ideas? Can i run a repair on esxi from the disk? Thanks
