Samba Winbind and Solaris 8

I know this is a Solaris 9 forum, but I couldn't find a Solaris 8.
Basically, I'm having problems with winbindd crashing. While I'm watching ldap requests with snoop I see about 90% good traffic, then these stubborn IP's of domain controllers of a different domain on another network. I don't know how they got there, but too many of them and winbindd crashes with a PANIC in the log file. I do have a 2 way non transitive trust with this domain. I know this isn't a lot of info but maybe it's as simple as clearing out some sort of cache somewhere.

I had a bizarre problem with NIS+ many years ago that might be related to your issue. My NIS+ master server was connected to 2 networks, one for normal WAN traffic and one restricted to only backups (local LAN only connection). On a periodic basis, I think every hour, the NIS+ master communicates wiht its slaves (or whatever the politically correct term is now). For some reason, this periodic update failed, which resulted in the entire system going down. It took multiple unix, network, and SUN support staff 12 hours to figure out that the NIS+ master server was attempting to communicate to the slaves only through the backup LAN network and not through the WAN network. The LAN was on bge0 and the WAN was on bge1. The fix was to put the WAN on bge0 and the LAN on bge1.
Any chance that the netmask is incorrect?

  • Samba winbind and group membership.

    I have a Solaris 10 (update 4) box (x86) that is joined to an active directory via samba/winbind.
    The users are working fine however their group membership is not.
    Users that should be members of certain groups do not seem to be: in that if I run
    "groups" and check the group member ship for myself I am missing entry of some groups yet I can verify that I should be a member of that group by running getent group "domain\\group name" and seing my username entered.
    winbind has the following parameters set
    winbind enum users = yes
    winbind enum groups = yes
    winbind nested groups = yes
    I am at a loss as to why it picks up some groups and not others.
    Has anyone come across something similar or know how to solve this issue?

    Hi,
    I know this thread is very old but unfortunately I'm facing exactly the same problem under Solaris 10 Sparc. Any ideas? Maybe this issue was solved?

  • Issues with Samba and Solaris 10 when number of group is greater than 16

    Has anyone heard if Sun plan to increase the value of ngroups_max from 16 to something larger in the next release of Solaris.
    I have just upgraded Samba from version 3.2 to 3.3-3.4 and now users that belong to more than 16 groups have no access the shares.
    I know the value can be increased via /etc/system but this breaks other stuff.
    What I need is either Samba to take this limitation into account or SUN to overcome the restriction.

    After some more digging around to help myself, I found a way to get users that belong to more than 16 Windows groups access to the Samba shares under Solaris.
    Using a source copy of Samba 3.2.15
    cd source/lib
    edit util.c
    around line 460 I added the following of lines of code:
    if (*num_gids >14)
    *num_gids=15;
    Provided the users in question that require Samba access have the group they need within the first 15 groups, all works OK.
    I presume this could also be done with latter versions of Samba, but I have not taken a look at this point.

  • Winbind and samba

    Hi,
    we are using samba shares on our linux RHEL5.3 boxes and we are using winbind and pam to authenticate our users. I have noticed an issue that i need resolved asap, any user that has an ad account can log in to the unix box with there ad username and password. is there a way to disable this but allow the samba share authentication to continue working as it is now?
    I can post my config if this helps.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Please be more specific when describing your problem.
    How about to limit local and remote SSH authentication to members of a specific AD group, e.g. linuxadm
    For instance, in order to in order to only allow members of linuxadm to create a SSH session:
    Edit /etc/pam.d/system-auth:
    auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so user ingroup linuxadm debug
    optional pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0077
    Then restart winbind: service winbind restart
    You may probably also want to configure /etc/sudoers to allow the linuxadm group to use sudo. For more information, perhaps the following is helpful:

  • Is samba included in Solaris 9 / x86?

    Hello... I have Solaris 9 x86 platform, and I need Samba to make my HD visible from a MS Win network... is Samba included in my Solaris? or I must download it...? from where?
    Thanks!

    It is included in Solaris 9:
    ls -l /usr/sfw/bin/smb*"cp /etc/sfw/smb.conf-example /etc/sfw/smb.conf",
    configure the smb.conf file, then "/etc/init.d/samba start" and other
    windows boxes on your network can use your solaris machine as
    a windows file and print server.

  • Vista and Solaris 10, are they compatible?

    I have attempted to follow dual boot guides found everywhere, but none tailor specifically to (or eve mention) Vista. This is a problem, because Vista does not use the same method of boot as previous versions of NT.
    So far, in my many failed attempts at creating a Vista dual boot, I have experienced this:
    When I install Solaris 10 on any partition (Solaris installs correctly and works great), and then attempt to install Windows Vista, Vista says all of my partitions do not meet its requirements for installation (that the drive is NTFS and at least 12 GB is all it tells me). Even after formatting, deleting, recreating, and reformatting a drive, the drive is still unusable. Only after deleting ALL drives, including Solaris 10, and recreating and brand new first partition does Vista allow me to install. If I create a partition that Vista allows me to use, and also a partition to use with Solaris, and THEN install Solaris, the partition that Vista liked can no longer be used!
    When I install Windows Vista first (and it works fine) (which is what I tried first and reasoned is what I should be doing), and then install Solaris 10 on a partition (it installs correctlt and works great), I load up my computer and go into the GRUB bootloader. I can select Windows. However, when attempting to load windows, I get an error (in the Vista font by the way) that says my operating system cannot be loaded. When I load my Vista install disc, it cannot find any installations of windows, and it cannot repair the master boot record, saying something like the filesystem is corrupt. However, just as an experiment, I loaded Vista onto the former Solaris drive, and looked at my first partition. Every file was there, intact.
    I have attempted this with Windows Home Premium 32 bit, Windows Business 32 bit, and Vista Ultimate x64. I don't want to believe that it's impossible to load Vista and Solaris simultaneously, I've seen as much stating its impossibility as I've seen documents telling me how to do it (<- cold irony).
    As long as I can get AN INSTALLATION of Solaris 10 on my machine at the same time I have Vista able to boot, I'm fine, but I seem to have lost on all fronts.

    In Solaris Express, this is not an issue, according to this weblog:
    http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/solaris_vista_dual_boot_conclusion
    For versions of Solaris Express prior to buid 70, this method was described for creating a dual-boot with the oh-too-picky Windows Vista:
    http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/vista-and-solaris-express-dual-boot/
    I am going to assume that setting up a dual-boot with Solaris 10 is similar to, if not the same as, Solaris Express, since the only steps specific to Solaris are the files I copy from Solaris.
    I hope this helps anyone else with a problem similar to mine.

    Install Windows first, then Solaris {not the other way round}. When Solaris installer detects Windows installation and prompts you whether to preserve Windows partition, make sure to select 'preserve' option. I believe Solaris installer creates appropriate GRUB entries for Windows and Solaris. Even if it doesn't, you can always edit the GRUB menu after the installation is complete.
    Check the following web site if you need detailed instructions:

  • How do I install dual-boot Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on one hard disk ?

    I tried to install Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 on same disk using CDs, but

    previoudly on the half-disk size partition of same disk.
    How do I install two Solarises on one hard disk ?
    Thanks
    Yakov

    There are no tricks to get Solaris to dual boot on the same drive. Just allocate and pick the free slices not used by the first Solaris install when you put in the second install. Technically speaking there is nothing preventing you from running seven separately bootable Solaris instances on the same drive (one of 8 available slices is overlap -- slice 2) provided you use a swap file on a root partition instead of reserving a whole slice for swap.

  • Dual boot windows 7 and solaris 11

    Hi Friends,
    Could some one please explain the steps to install dual boot windows 7 and solaris 11?
    Thanks
    Raja

    Install Windows leaving a partition for Solaris.  Install Solaris into the empty partition.  Reboot.  Use a partition manager if you need to shrink your current Windows Partition.  GParted works great and is free.

  • Dual Boot Windows 7 and solaris 10

    Can some body guide me how to dual boot windows 7 and solaris 10?
    Thanks

    First partition your harddisk with at least 2 primary partitions, one for windows and the other for solaris if you only have one harddisk. It would be a good idea to create an additional small boot partition as the first partition as well if you intend on using an independent boot loader but it really depends on what your machine is capable of. For example, if you have multiple harddisk and your BIOS supports it, then you could just install each OS onto its own harddisk and use the BIOS function to disable/boot off specific harddisk. Otherwise, if you only have one harddisk and created multiple partitions, install windows7 first followed by solaris10, obviously installing into different partitions. If you have created a boot partition, then you can install the boot loader into that dedicated partition.

  • Dual Booting Windows and Solaris

    Hi
    how do i dual boot windows and solaris
    Do i install windows first and then solaris or do it the other way around..?
    how do i make sure that Windows and Solaris appear in my boot options..?
    Is their a guide on doing this...?
    Thanks
    Liam

    Hey I did a quick google search for you. So I havent tried this method myself but it sounds reasonable.
    The text below is from the following link:
    http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/AUnix1/DualBoot.htm
    "Solaris boot loader
    Partition the drive to leave at least 2GB of space available for Solaris;
    more drive space is desirable.
    As with Linux, install Windows first then Solaris.
    Do not use the Installation CD but boot and install
    from Software CD 1.
    If you accept the default partitioning scheme which
    the installer provides you will soon run out of space in
    your / and /usr partitions since only enough space is
    allocated to install the system.
    All extra space is allocated to /export/home.
    A typical installation on a 4.5GB partition might look
    something like this:
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 900M 536M 310M 64% /
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s1 334M 109M 192M 36% /var
    swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /var/run
    swap 671M 8.0k 671M 1% /tmp
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s5 845M 222M 565M 29% /opt
    # (FAT32 partition):
    /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:1 5.0G 3.3G 1.6G 66% /c
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s7 1.1G 92M 954M 9% /export/home
    /dev/dsk/c0d0s4 752M 225M 474M 33% /usr/local
    The Solaris boot selector enables you to choose either
    Solaris or Windows with Solaris as the default.
    (I prefer grub or lilo!)
    To mount FAT under Solaris:
    # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c /dos (or �:1�?)
    And the vfstab file:
    /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:c - /dos pcfs - yes -
    To create a GRUB boot floppy, follow these steps:
    $ mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0
    $ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
    $ mkdir /mnt/fd0/boot /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
    $ cp /boot/grub/stage[12] /boot/grub/grub.conf \
    > /mnt/fd0/boot/grub
    $ /sbin/grub --batch <
    Hope this helps!

  • Compiler directives to differetiate between solaris 9 and solaris 10

    i have an API which makes certain function calls which are different for solaris 9 and solaris 10. i cannot add my own defines, since that would mean that applications too would have to define them.
    does the Sun Workshop compiler provide any default directives to differentiate between solaris 9 and solaris 10? something like #ifdef __SunOS_5.10 or something like that?
    thanks.

    As explained in the C Users Guide, the compiler predefines several macros, one of which is represents the Solaris version number.
    The macro name is derived from the output of the commands
    uname -s and uname -r, starting with __, connected by _, and with dots replaced by _.
    Running on Solaris 9:
    % uname -s
    SunOS
    % uname -r
    5.9
    The defined macro name is __SunOS_5_9
    On Solaris 10 you get __SunOS_5_10
    __SunOS_5_9

  • SSH Differences between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10

    I use public key authentication when connecting via SSH but have noticed a difference between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 and wondered if it's an environment setup issue. I keep my keys in $HOME/.ssh
    When connecting from Solaris 9 I can provide an identity file without a path regardless of the directory that I'm in e.g.
    ssh -i my_identity_file user@hostnameThe above works even if I'm not in the $HOME/.ssh directory. But when using the same from Solaris 10 I get the following error:
    Warning: Identity file my_identity_file does not exist.If I run the command from $HOME/.ssh on Solaris 10 it connects fine, and if I pass in the path like so it works fine:
    ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/my_identity_file user@hostnameIs there a setting specific to SSH somewhere as I can't see anything in my environment that's different between the two systems. There's certainly no entry in $PATH that points to $HOME/.ssh. How could I get SSH to work on Solaris 10 by just providing the identity file name and not the full path
    Regards
    Rich

    It's not explicitly defined in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, so I'm assuming it would be using the default which is ~/.ssh/id_dsa.
    But surely that's irrelevant if I'm using the -i switch to provide the identity file?
    Remember the problem here is that I have to provide a full path to the identity file, whereas before just the filename would do.

  • Function-Based Indexes (FBI) on Linux and Solaris

    I have a question about FBI on different systems (Linux and Solaris).
    ---- Oracle on Linux -----
    SQL> CREATE TABLE T_DUMMY(NAME VARCHAR(20));
    Table created.
    SQL> CREATE INDEX T_DUMMY_IDX ON T_DUMMY(UPPER(NAME));
    Index created.
    However, when I do the same on the Oracle running on Solaris, I get the following error:
    ---- Oracle on Solaris -----
    SQL> CREATE TABLE T_DUMMY(NAME VARCHAR(20));
    Table created.
    SQL> CREATE INDEX T_DUMMY_IDX ON T_DUMMY(UPPER(NAME));
    CREATE INDEX T_DUMMY_IDX ON T_DUMMY(UPPER(NAME))
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    I know that I have to add "QUERY REWRITE" in order to create a FBI. However, why Oracle on Linux behave differently. Would it be any difference/problem if I do NOT add "QUERY REWRITE" for Oracle on Linux (For example, would the EXPLAIN PLAN different)?

    general user settings are the same (privilege, role) Well, the specific settings must be different. I would check to see whether one of the roles has been granted the QUERY REWRITE system privilege on your Linux instance but not on Solaris.
