Quick: Connect to samba share

   security = user

read only = no

smbpasswd -a myusername

/etc/init.d/samba restart

Quick: Mount Shared Folder

apt-get update
apt-get install smbfs

mkdir somefolder

mount -t cifs -o username=administrator,password=password
//windowsservername/folder /home/lucas/somefolder
or
mount -t cifs -o user=administrator //windowsservername/folder /home/lucas/somefolder

mount -t cifs -o UID=lucas,username=administrator,password=password //windowsservername/folder /home/lucas/somefolder

mount -t cifs -o UID=lucas,username=administrator,password=password,domain=mydomainname //windowsservername/folder /home/lucas/somefolder

[Optional] You can replace administrator with your username. You can also replace windowsservername with ip address //192.168.1.10/folder ....

Quick: Enable Writable Share Folder

#;   security = user
   security = share

Then at the buttom add the following lines.

[SHARED]
comment = PMS files
path = /home/lucas/Unique
browseable = yes
#printable = no
guest account = nobody
guest ok = yes
write ok = yes
force user = lucas
#force group = lucas

Quick: Ping netbios names from linux

Keywords: linux to windows by "full computer name", netbios lookup, nslookup

  1. Every pc can ping each other using the netbios name which corresponds to ip address.
  2. In windows ping netbios names is working ping mycomputer2 will ping the ip behind the name mycomputer2

  3. You are able to ping a pc that is on dhcp.

This will enable same feature in linux

apt-get update
apt-get install winbind

vi /etc/nsswitch.conf

hosts: files dns
to
hosts: files dns wins

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
to

ping mycomputer2

Profiles

after having created an account for them on the server, simply logon to the server and the existing Windows profile on the local machine will be used (as there won't be one already on the server) and copied over to the server. This is fine if they only ever use the same computer but beware, the profile may have references to software installed only on their machine, so if they want to login from other machines it is probably worth starting over with a fresh profile and setting up each machine exactly the same; see the next method

or

configure a Windows user account on a workstation the way you want it (if you try to create a user account after you've created a machine account for this machine on the Samba server, creating the account on the workstation will fail and elicit a message saying you can't create accounts in that domain. We don't know what this is about but to work around it you can use Users and Passwords' Advanced → Advanced → Users → Action → New User... option (or create the account without the workstation being part of a domain (do so before-hand, or temporarily revert back to a workgroup).
            This will be a 'Restricted User' account.
            This account will be the template user profile. (We use TWEAK - The Windows Environment and Application Konfigurator, available from http://thegoldenear.org/tweak/, to configure the template user account quickly and easily (you only need run the per-user options (including Roaming Computing System specific options, A → P → P)).
            create the template without running any applications, that will be done later; consider where you're going to keep icons for applications by reading the section on applications further on.
            Any applications that require their preferences pre-installing manually (rather than dealing with it themselves) in the Windows profile will want that doing so now (see applications section further on)

User management

Manage users

*Ther are two tools to manage users. We will use the second one because it gives us more control.

smbpasswd:

  1. add user or machine accounts.
  2. delete user or machine accounts.
  3. enable user or machine accounts.
  4. disable user or machine accounts.
  5. set to NULL user passwords.
  6. manage interdomain trust accounts.

pdbedit:

  1. add, remove, or modify user accounts.
  2. list user accounts.
  3. migrate user accounts.
  4. migrate group accounts.
  5. manage account policies.
  6. manage domain access policy settings.

pdbedit

pdbedit -Lv username

pdbedit -Lv |less

space to view next page. q to quit

Add user

smbpasswd: Add username to debian linux account and samba account.

adduser 'username'
smbpasswd -a 'username'

Add user with pdbedit. Unix account need to exist already:

pdbedit -a username

Delete user

Delete samba account:

pdbedit -x username

Change account

pdbedit -r --fullname="First Last name" username

Reset password expiration for account

pdbedit -z username

Account flag, disable

D       Account is disabled.
H       A home directory is required.
I       An inter-domain trust account.
L       Account has been auto-locked.
M       An MNS (Microsoft network service) logon account.
N       Password not required.
S       A server trust account.
T       Temporary duplicate account entry.
U       A normal user account.
W       A workstation trust account.
X       Password does not expire.

pdbedit -r -c "[DLX]" username

pdbedit -r -c "[]" username

Default account settings

pdbedit -P ?

pdbedit -P "min password length" -C 8

Unix passwords to samba passwords

cat /etc/passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd > /etc/samba.d/smbpasswd

Change password backend

pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam

passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb

Administrator

addgroup domainadmin
  1. Add to this group the users that must be “Administrators”. For example, if you want joe, john, and mary to be administrators, your entry in /etc/group will look like this:

domainadmin:x:502:joe,john,mary
  1. Map this domadm group to the “Domain Admins” group by executing the command:

root# net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domainadmin rid=512 type=d

Add unix group to samba

root# net groupmap add rid=1000 ntgroup="Accounting" unixgroup=acct type=d

Performance

windows max tcp/ip speed windows speed

The problem is in the old tcp/ip setting in windows. Back in the beging windows had a small tcp window size and it never changed. By adding the following to the registry you can increase it to something more apropriate for 100M nic's

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]

"GlobalMaxTcpWindowsSize"=dword:00020148
"TcpWindowsSize"=dword:00020148
"Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000003

This help me no end with my backups. Increased network thru put by a factor of 30. So give it ago.

http://rdweb.cns.vt.edu/public/notes/win2k-tcpip.htm will explain it a bit more.

windows 7 and samba issues

If you discover that speed of copying file from (to) shared folder is too slow set up socket options in global section to TCP_NODELAY and then restart samba. smb.conf

  socket options = TCP_NODELAY

restart samba

# /etc/init.d/samba reload

To restart samba you have to be root or have privileges to manage samba. In case this way doesn't help and your speed is too low (in my case it takes 20 hours to copy 800 Mb file form shared folder) install ethtool and switch off autoneg in the apropriate network adapter.

aptitude install ethtool
ethtool -s eth1 speed 100 full duplex autoneg off

In my situation it helps... i hope it will be useful for you too...

External samba

time

The relationship of "net time" and a real ntp server seems to be a one
time sync only anyway. However, you can have the PC really use ntp:
:: setup ntp client
:: need to be an admin - one time setup
sc stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
net time /setsntp:ntpd-server
sc config w32time start= auto
sc start w32time
w32tm /resync
w32tm /stripchart /computer:ntpd-server /samples:1
Could instead use a real Policy or manually jam it into the registry:
:: setup ntp client
:: need to be an admin - one time setup
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\Parameters /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\Parameters /v NtpServer
/d ntpd-server /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\Parameters /v Type /d
NTP /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
/v Enabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
/v CrossSiteSyncFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 0x2
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
/v ResolvePeerBackoffMinutes /t REG_DWORD /d 0xf
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
/v ResolvePeerBackoffMaxTimes /t REG_DWORD /d 0x7
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
/v SpecialPollInterval /t REG_DWORD /d 0xe10
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\microsoft\w32time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
