Installation and Upgrades / samba share permissions

« on: October 08, 2012, 04:35:49 am »

Hi,

I have zentyal 3.0.2 32bit installed on a 1TB partition. I have another 1.7TB partition that is mounted at /media/photos. I'm trying to share that partition as a samba share, but none of the settings I tried give the samba user permissions to write to. As a side note, can someone explain to me what the difference is between read/write privileges and administrator privileges?

Thanks

Installation and Upgrades / samba share access is very slow

« on: September 26, 2012, 12:46:18 am »

Hi,

I'm trying out Zentyal 3.0.2 and I'm finding that accessing shares is so slow that it doesn't actually work most of the time. When trying to browse a network share on an ubuntu client it just gives an error that it cannot mount network share. On windows 7 I just get get the round wheel spinning next to the cursor forever. (or the error Windows cannot access \\zentyal) There are times when it will show a list of files after a few minutes, but opening them is slow or impossible again.

Any ideas what the problems might be?

Thanks

Installation and Upgrades / Can zentyal be used a drop in replacement for Windows Server 2000?

« on: March 18, 2011, 04:53:35 pm »

Hi,

I am moving an office from Windows Server 2000 to Zentyal, but I hoped I could just configure it so that I turn off the Windows Server, Plug in the Zentyal server into the network, and have everyone log into the old domain, but now on the Zentyal server without having to modify each workstation.

Could I just name the domain in Zentyal the same as it was in windows and have all the clients connect without further configuration on the client side?

Thanks,

Installation and Upgrades / Cannot connect to Zentyal PDC if using COMPANYNAME.local

« on: March 18, 2011, 03:54:11 pm »

Hi,

I cannot connect Windows (so far trying XP SP3) workstations to the Zentyal PDC Samba domain if I name it COMPANYNAME.local.

If I change the domain name to just COMPANYNAME (without ".local") it works. How can I get the domain name to be COMPANYNAME.local and get Windows workstations to connect?

Thanks,

Installation and Upgrades / install printer drivers automatically

« on: March 12, 2011, 03:43:40 am »

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to upload additional printer drivers to zentyal, so that windows users (and ubuntu and mac users if possible) don't have to install printer drivers manually.

I know samba has a print$ share and a awkward way of  using a staging computer to add printer drivers, but I was hoping that I could just download my printer drivers and tell zentyal to use them when clients try to connect (without using a staging computer of course)

Thanks

Installation and Upgrades / HTTP Proxy Content Filtering

« on: March 12, 2011, 03:33:17 am »

Hi,

I'm trying to configure content filtering, but Zentyal doesn't seem to want to listen to me.
I downloaded a black list from http://urlblacklist.com (I will pay them if I can get it to work) and uploaded it to Zentyal, but Zentyal filters out porn even if it's set to ignore in the blacklist settings. Also I can't get Zentyal to filter out any other content, other than porn (which it does automatically it seems)

What's going on? What am I missing?

Thanks

Below are by my selected options.

In HTTP Proxy settings I have the following options selected:

General
    Transparent Proxy: Off (not sure what this means anyway)
    Port: 3128
    Default Policy: Filter ( not sure what authorize and filter means)

Bandwidth Throttling, Objects' Policy, Groups' Policy are all blank (do I need to have anything here)

Filter Properties
    default
        Use Antivirus: Yes
        Threshold: Very Permisive
        File extensions and MIME types filtering all checked for Allow
        Domains filtering
            block not listed domains and URLS: No
            Block sites specified only as IP: No
            Domains and URL rules: blank
            Domains list files
                urlblacklist
                    all categories set to Ignore

Installation and Upgrades / permission changes / corruption of files copied to samba share

« on: November 06, 2009, 03:20:07 am »

Hi,

I'm using ubuntu as both the server and the client. (ubuntu server, and ubuntu desktop)

I have ebox installed, and I created some file shares using it and the samba module.

Whenever I copy a file to a shared folder, (from ubuntu desktop) it changes the permissions and ownership of the files.
Example:

I have this file on my desktop, and it has the following permissions as seen by ls -l

Code: [Select]

-rw-r--r-- 1 waspinator waspinator    26424 2009-11-04 20:50 ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent
I can open this file up in transmission, and it will begin to download ubuntu.

Now when I copy this file to the samba shared folder the permissions and ownership of the files change to:

Code: [Select]

-rwxr--r-- 1 root          __USERS__     26424 Nov  4 20:50 ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent
I can no longer open this file in transmission. Now it says that the file is corrupt.

Even if I copy the file back, and I change the permissions, it still cannot be opened by transmission.

I am worried that ebox-samba is messing with my files. I removed "force create mode" in
/usr/share/ebox/stubs/samba/smb.conf.mas but that did not help. I also removed "enable privileges = yes", but nothing changed either.

here is my smb.conf file that ebox generates:

 path = /downloads/torrents
 valid users = "waspinator"
 read list =

I just want a simple file server, that stores my files without doing anything to them. Just like any other storage area on my desktop. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks,

Installation and Upgrades / eBox Samba File Sharing Permissions

« on: June 10, 2009, 09:35:14 pm »

Hi,

I just installed Ubuntu Server 9.04 and eBox.

I added a few users and some shares, but the users cannot write to them even when the share's "Access controls"s are set to "Read and Write" for those users.
To allow users to write to the shares I need to set them to "Administrators" in "Access control".
Is this normal behavior or am I doing something wrong?

Also when I have a share giving access to a user belonging to a group that has read privileges, AND the specific user also has Read/Write privileges separately, the share defaults to the group policy rather than the specific user policy and does not allow the user to write.
Any way to get around that besides removing that user from the group?

Thanks,

Waspinator
