Does anybody here have any experience with Thursby's DAVE and symlinks on a Samba Server? When I connect to my Linux Samba Server via DAVE (running on Mac OS X 10.3.8), I can see all the links that I have made to files that reside in other directories on the Linux Server. However, Mac OS X thinks they are aliases. And when I try to ope...

Does anyone have any experiences with integrating Samba and Thursby Software's ADmitMac? All of our Microsoft XP and Win2000 workstations work just fine with Samba, but I'm having a hell of a time getting ADmitMac to play nicely with Samba. Conversely, ADmitMac works great with Microsoft NT4, 2000 and 2003 servers. I'm not able to browse the network...

...rom sources if you think that would help. I ran through the diagnostic tests given on the Samba page somewhere and worked out a few problems already, but failed with "net view" as discussed below. The Linux laptop is named kingofswing. I can mount it right away from a Macintosh running Thursby's DAVE (http://www.thursby.com) I can mount it from itself with smbclient using either the IP address or the server name: smbclient //kingofswing/smbtest (prompted for password, mounts just fine) But I can't get on from Windows 98. I've tried two different usernames one Windows 98,...

samba server 2.0.6 DAVE 2.1 DAVE 2.0 When the DAVE 2.1 client tries to connect with samba, it gets an error that machine name doesn't match. This DAVE client connects with NT systems fine, and other Windows systems connect with samba fine, so it's just samba and DAVE that are having this failure to communicate. When DAVE 2.0 client tries, it connects fine but when I try to copy a file to

Some use Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html) or DoubleTalk (http://www.connectix.com/products/dt.html). However, we use Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) successfully to share the Unix/Samba file system with our Mac clients. Is there any reason you can't use Netatalk?

...t doesn't unlock this resource fork when it unlocks the data file. The result is that other Macs can save the data file, but not the resource file, causing all kinds of strange behavior. I've seen mention of this problem on this list, but the only solution I've seen has been to buy Thursby's Mac client, which is cost prohibitive for us. As a hack, I hope was hoping to routinely parse the locking.tdb and delete any orphaned ._ file locks. Not the best solution, but it should get us by if we can't get a fix from Apple. Any help would be appreciated. -dmenden

Hi, I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about Apple. FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients? I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms of support

Hi I've seen a couple of people post this problem, but I've never seen an answer, and now it's happenning to me. I run Solaris 2.5.1, and samba-1.9.17p1. Every so often a pc can look in the network neighborhood and the samba server just isn't there, though you can still map a network drive by using a UNC pathway: \\server\share so the share is still out there but the server

...ut a brand new server as a Samba4 PDC to a customer with about 30 users. It's going well except for the fact that I now have some serious slow browsing issues from Mac clients, and that?s when only a handful of them are connected to the server. Note that if I install software such as Dave from Thursby on the Macs, the speed issues vanish. Also, browsing speed is instant from the pcs on the network. Some details of the setup are below. I will post log files if that's useful but didn't want to clutter this communication if there is an obvious point I'm missing. Thanks in advance for as...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, has anyone implemented a mail server with maildir, Postfix and Dovecot using Active Directory ad userbase and password authentication? Do I need Samba to authenticate users? Can I use credential caching just like mysql?

I've built a new samba server to replace an aging Apple 9500 running 8.6 that is acting as a 'file server'. The other macs run 9.2 and 10.2, which are the computers that will be served (I HOPE!) by the samba server. I have installed DAVE in order to be able to copy the files over to the new server. However, as the files copy, they disappear on the samba server. Someone said it

Is it as expensive as running my primary mailserver mounted from the SAN via Fiber Channel? Will that get me under 30ms latency?

Hi, using Dave 2.0b3 under MacOS 8.0 with success. I got one minor problem. I can't consistently logon before I have mounted a samba share. Any solutions to this?

...ell, but I am sure that the Mac OS up to 9.xxx does _NOT_ support Samba, OS 10 does. If you want to get Samba sipport on your Mac you will have to try a program called Dave. If you want to download a fully working evaluation copy of the software, then type this in your browser "http://download.thursby.com/dave252.smi.sit" it will work for about three weeks. I have Dave on my G4 Mac, and I am using Samba 2.07, Tango and Miami on my A4000. My two computers ping each other OK, Tango says NO NETWORK, but can find my Amiga shares. The Mac can't find any computers on the network, and when I...

Can a Macintosh access Samba file and printer shares? Thanks, Steve

I am experimenting with MAC OS 9 using samba as a file server. I am using Thursby's DAVE to connect. For those who don't know, DAVE is a client utility that allows an OS 8 or 9 system to connect to windows file shares. The MAC can connect to both servers with no problems. However, when copying a file to the samba 3 server, I get the following error: The item <file...

Hi all, We are sharing directories from Windows 2003 server to, among other things, Mac computers. Most of the time the windows shares work perfectly. However we are running into a problem with users entering odd characters into file names on the Mac clients. The Mac clients see these files/folders perfectly fine, as samba on the Mac allows for these odd characters. However, if someone tries

...an option to not encrypt passwords either. Again, this all works in samba 2.2.x, but not when I go to samba 3. All on the same machine. ACL's, smb.conf, etc. The only thing that's changing is the version of samba. Nothing helpful in the logs either. I know this isn't Dave support (thursby.com), but I'm hoping someone may have dealt with this issue, and can point me in the right direction. I'm kinda new to samba 3, so perhaps something changed I'm still not aware of. Todd Santi Systems Administrator Sybex, Inc. [global] workgroup = NAME netbios name = SERVER...
