Hello samba dancers,
I'm Friedrich Strohmaier and new to this mailing list. More important:
I'm (very) new to PDCing Computers in a network, and I ran in big
troubles doing so.
Try to tell a long story in short: I'm a fairly experienced
administrator for linux systems, and was orderd to move a
serverinstallation (SuSE7.0, Samba2.2.x) to a new machine. The old
machine did stop serving anything more, before I could set up a a
working system and finish tests.
That's what I did:
during the happy times both machines run:
- I set up the new machine's samba with the cloned configuration from
the old one for testing purposes (I didn't know better! :o|)
- I disabled deprecated settings of samba 2.2.x according to the tesparm
output.
- Few days later I changed the new machine's domain entry from DOMAIN to
DOMAINTEST (from this moment the new machine was no longer a second
PDC in one domain. again: I didn't know better.. :o))) Everything went
fine!
- I run tests with one win2000 client, which I introduced to DOMAINTEST
and noticed that problem of accessing files in the shares described
below (that client is one of the two having problems of share files
access)
after the old machine stopped serving:
- I imported all of the old machines files except samba3 adapted
/etc/samba/smb.conf
- I restarted samba service
Now I have this:
- A running linux-box ubuntu 6.06.1 dapper drake LTS
- A running samba Version 3.0.22
- about 30 windows2000 clients which can't load their roaming profiles,
but have acess to their shares
- 2 windows2000 clients, which load their roaming profiles (after again
beeing introduced to the domain), but have problems to access files
of their shares (aparently the win user logged in, is not recognized
as a welcome user to them)
- a complete backup of the files from the old machine
Now there are two tasks for me:
1) getting the roaming profiles work again _and_ have good access to the
share files. The latter is the more important.
Does anyone see the problem and probably the solution (and can give the
hint for it ;o)))?
2) take care, that _before_ the profiles will be loaded properly _all_
of the meanwhile locally saved profiles are transferred in the samba
servers profile directories.
What to care for while transferring the profiles -except to adjust the
unix permissions and ownership properly?
What is the shortest way, to get all in a working state?
Any help to get enlighted as well pointers to apropriate docu targets
are much apreciated. :o))
btw.: If anyone reading this mail is located south part of Stuttart
Germany (location is Nürtingen) can give local support - please contact
me.
