Free samba 3 software for linux

PySamba is a Python library that provides a full wrapper for the Samba CLI library provided with samba-3.0.24.

PySamba is a full wrapper based in the work of Tim Potter. In fact, PySamba is built as a Python C extension over the cli library provided with samba-3.0.24 and a Python module that hides the complexity of the lower layer (smb) providing high-level commands like Mkdir or DiskAvail. At now, PySamba provides a fully functional samba wrapper, allowing the developer to interface any samba-capable device much like python’s ftplib does.

PySamba has been written by Juan M. Casillas and released under GNU GPL public License.

You need a gcc compiler, a python running environment (tested with 2.4.3) and the samba-3.0.24 sources. PySamba Has been developed under an UNIX environment (HP-UX) and tested against native NT shares.

Simple & Easy

from pysamba import * ... and go. Server login is encapsulated in the constructor, so just provide the require parameters, and start working with your favorite smb share. PySamba is easy to use, and easy to install.

Installation:

See the INSTALL file, but the installation process is the following:

Get Samba-3.0.24 and uncompress it.

copy py_smb.c and py_smb.h into samba-3.0.24/source/python replacing the existing files

go to samba-3.0.24/source and issue a configure --with-python=python. Then make , make install, make python_ext, make install This will install python’s dynamic library.

Import pysamba from the directory where pysamba is, or copy it to any place under the PYTHONPATH

Samba-Gtk is a GTK+ frontend for Samba 4.

A set of GTK+ applications that allow use of SMB- and related protocols. Current tools include a registry editor (local files and remote), DCE/RPC endpoint profiler, remote job planner (at/cron equivalent) and remote service manager.

Also contains a shared library with custom GTK+ widgets.

GSAMBAD is a frontend for the Samba file and print server. GSAMBAD project features multiple local and remote user and group imports, on the fly share creation, and user handling, including randomization of usernames and passwords.

SMBGate provides a gateway and firewall with authentication managed by a Samba Primary Domain Controller. The firewall rules are set on a per-user basis.

Gsmb provides a graphical interface allowing simplified management of the file of the Samba users file /etc/smbpasswd.

In initial Windows 95 releases, passwords for accessing shared volumes were sent as cleartext over the network. Sambda authentication used the /etc/passwd file on the server. The Windows 95 updates introduced encryption of these passwords. There are two methods for making Samba support this new authentication scheme:

- modify the register base of Win95 clients to reactivate cleartext passwords
- configure Samba so that it accepts the encrypted password

The second option is what we are interested in here.

Installation:

You can download version 0.5 (released 1999-09-30) of gsmb.

To activate the recognition of encrypted passwords, the option ENCRYPT PASSWORDS = yes should be positioned in the /etc/smb.conf configuration file.

In addition to this, it is necessary to create the Samba users file. On Redhat 5.2, this is called /etc/smbpasswd.

The Gsmb program allows the management of the Samba users by modifying this file. It uses the Gtk 1.2.0. library.

Usage:

At this point, the possibility of the program are the following:

- The function Quit presented in the menu "File" allow to quit the program (Incredible, isnt it !!)

- The function presented in the menu "smbpasswd/create smbpasswd version 1.9.x from passwd" will erase the "/etc/smbpasswd" and another one. The /etc/passwd is read and a Samba count is created for each Linux users. The /etc/smbpasswd is filled with the samba 1.9.x format.

- The function presented in the menu "smbpasswd/create smbpasswd version 2.0.x from passwd" will erase the "/etc/smbpasswd" and another one. The /etc/passwd is read and a Samba count is created for each Linux users. The /etc/smbpasswd is filled with the samba 2.0.x format.

- The function presented in the menu "smbpasswd/create another users" creates a linux users by calling the program Adduser.

- The buttons between the two list permits to create samba users. Before, just select in the linux list one or several users, select the format you want, and then click on the button with the arrows. This action will create the corresponding Samba users.

- Possibility to delete Samba users. First, select the Samba users (Dont forget the shift and crtl buttons for multiple selection) and then click on the button delete.

- You have the possibility now have a null password for Samba users. If the row for a user is red, then you have validate the Null password option for this user.

- You can disable Samba users accounts. For the format 1.9.x, the password field will be replaced by "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX". For the format 2.0.X, the "D" will be added in a field. In each case, you can see the state of the account in the first column of the samba users list.

Samba::LDAP::User is a Perl module to manipulate a Samba LDAP User.

SYNOPSIS

use Carp;
use Samba::LDAP::User;

# create Template object
my $user = Samba::LDAP::User->new()
or croak "Cant create objectn";

Various methods to manipulate a Samba LDAP user. Add, delete, modify, show and change a users password.

INTERFACE

new

Create a new Samba::LDAP::User object

add_user

Takes many options. For example:

user =>
oldpass =>
newpass =>
workstation =>
ou =>
user_uid =>
group =>
windows_user =>
trust_account =>
homedir =>
shell =>
gecos =>
skeleton_dir =>
surname =>
family_name =>
local_mail_address =>
mail_to_address =>
time_to_wait =>
aix =>
groups =>
ox =>
can_change_pass =>
must_change_pass =>
account_flags =>
logon_script =>
home_path =>
home_drive =>
user_profile =>
aix_user =>

The above options are only needed if you dont want to use the defaults that are set in /etc/smbldap/smbldap.conf

delete_user
disable_user
is_valid_user
is_samba_user
is_unix_user
is_nonldap_unix_user
get_homedir
make_hash
change_password
change_password(
user => ghenry,
oldpass => "$oldpass",
newpass => "$newpass",
samba => 1, # Update only Samba pass, can be
# unix => 1 for unix pass only
);

Change user password in LDAP Directory

Checks the users exists first, then changes the password If user doesnt exist, returns the error etc.

If no oldpass arg is passed, binds as rootdn and sets a password

Default is set to change/add a Samba "and" Unix password. If you dont want this, pass in unix => 0, or samba => 0, etc.

smblansearch is set of integrated tools that help you to find and download files you need on samba shares.
It consists of:
sls_main - frontend for sls_scanner
sls_scanner - console smb-scanner
qsmbdownloader - simple smb-downloader, that supports resuming and recursive downloads.
Enhancements:
- added size filtering
- sls_main sends workgroup name to sls_scanner now. this should fix bug with smblansearch and domain
