This is taken from syslog :

It seems that you didnt add the idmap parameter. Try to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf , and take a look the idmap part of your smb.conf.
[global]
idmap uid = 15000-20000
idmap gid = 15000-20000
Then Restart samba & winbindd :
# service smb restart
# service winbindd restart

Q : What does this error log message mean ?
dhcpd Error Abandoning IP address 192.168.10.16: pinged before offer
A: Before the DHCP server assigns an IP address to a client, it pings the address to make sure nobody is using it already. In this case, the test failed, so the server “abandons” the address and picks another one to assign. Another computer may have already had that IP address statically assigned, or maybe it was dynamically assigned but the server and that client miscommunicated.
In either case, it is a harmless message and no action is necessary.

Something strange about samba at CentOS.
After all samba configurations are setup properly as PDC , have tested to join domain and user sharing and authentications, suddenly the system-config-samba has missed all the samba users as follows :
Here’s the trick.
First, you have to uninstall the system-config-samba-1.2.39-1.el5.noarch.rpm
# rpm -e system-config-samba-1.2.39-1.el5.noarch.rpm
then install system-config-samba for Fedora Core 9 , you may download here
# rpm -ivh system-config-samba-1.2.63-1.fc9.noarch.rpm –nodeps
Remember, use –nodeps parameter because the dependencies files are diffrent from CentOS.
And, you are done. You may see it at menu “Applications-System tools - Samba

If you have tried all step to mount NTFS file system from all resource you got from internet, then the last try you have to do is install the CentOSplus kernel into your box.
Download the packages from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/centosplus/i386/RPMS/
# rpm -ivh kernel-xen*
This process will take a minutes, please be patient.
After all done, then restart your box and choose the new kernel.
Try to mount the NTFS filesystem
# mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/myntfs
voila, you did it.

# mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hardisk1
mount: unknown filesystem type ‘ntfs’
This message appears when you try to mount the media with ntfs filesystem.
Somehow the default centos kernel doesnt support it, you may upgrade to centosplus or try to configure your box as follows:
yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse
or download the packages from :
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse/
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/fuse-ntfs-3g/
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/dkms-fuse/
then install the packages :
# rpm -ihv dkms-fuse-* fuse*
Mount Device to /media/myntfs
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/myntfs
If you still fail, try this article http://www.domainnameyahoo.info/mount-ntfs-using-centos-plus/
