I was just with my boss cause he had trouble with some Excel and Word document on the Samba server. I noticed that when he saves an Excel document sometimes it takes a lot of time to save and sometimes Excel stop responding, when that happens the file stays locked on the server and when he tries to open it back, he can only open it read only. Is there a reason why it takes so much time to save?

When doing ./configure --with-acl-support it gives me a message almost at the end of "checking whether to support ACLs... no". What am I missing??

Which filesystem supports ACL? Ext2/ext3 with the acl.bestbits.at patch, XFS and what other? Does 2.4.18 supports XFS or do you need a patch for it? What about ACL on XFS? Do you need a patch? Is there any filesystem that supports ACL, that the kernel supports without patches? Any place I can find a comparison of different filesystems with advantage and disadvantage of each? The Filesystems HOWTO

Well I'm having some trouble with samba, I had those troubles on a box for quite some time and not long ago I moved all the stuff to a new box to see if it'll work better but it doesn't. I'm monitoring one person in particular because she's the one who do most of the editing stuff in there. What happens is when she opens a document (.doc or .xls most of the time), when she

Well I'm trying to setup the Samba server to act as a print server too. I had uploaded the drivers for the 4 printers we have and I installed all 4 printers on my test computer and it worked well. But when I got back from my vacations one of the tech told me that he couldn't install the printer drivers from the server and when I check the driver didn't seem to be in the driver list

Well I had to set up Samba on a new server and everything seem to went pretty well for the most part but now when I try to log on the domain it gives me an error message saying it couldn't load the profile on the server. What I did was set up new server with pretty much the same configuration, then one evening when there was nobody here I copied all the profiles and other stuff from the old

Hi, I'm having some problems when compiling Samba against the OpenLDAP 2.0.27 shared libraries, I'm trying to compile Samba 3.0beta2 with LDAP support but it can't find the ldap libraries for some reason. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand how all these autoconf/automake script works but I did some research and it seems that Samba is testing to see if the ldap_init

Hi, I'm currently using Samba 2.2.8a and when I try to set some permissions on a directory from Windows, Samba only adds the permission to the directory itself and not the sub-directories. Is there a way to make Samba set the permissions on the sub directories also? Thanks Jean-Rene Cormier

Hi, I have some problems printing to a HP LaserJet 2300 and 4200, everything prints fine but I can't send more than 1 copy to the printer. I installed the printer on a local WinXP box with the HP installation CD and it worked fine but through Samba I can't print more than one copy. We have some other HP printers, a LaserJet 2200 and 4550 and they both work fine. It's like I can't

Hi, I had to rename a machine name today because someone used the same name on two computers. I just added a random character to the machine name and I thought that since I have the idealx script setup to auto-create machines accounts it would add it automatically but it didn't so I had to get the computer out of the domain and rejoin it with it's new machine name so it would add it

Ok I have a samba server that I use for file sharing, I have a lot of trouble with it and I want to see if putting those shares on a WinXP box would work better. But we don't have a domain here, just workstation in a workgroup and I was wondering if there was a way I could copy all user/pass from the samba server to the Windows box so that transfering the shares from Samba to Windows would be
