I am trying to move our network from windows NT-2k to Samba /Linux. So far everything is great but there is one main obstacle; when I apply permissions to a Samba share via my W2K workstation, the permissions instantly disappear. This happens regardless of the owner / creator of file or the user / group permission I attempt to add. I have run 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and now 3.0 beta3. All three behave

I'm looking at using Linux/Samba in a lab environment. What I'd like is for the Win95 Machines to connect as the default guest user normally, ie read-only. But, if I log in as let's say, SambaAdmin, it prompts for a password and will allow writing to that shared resource. I've tried a couple of different settings, but regardless of how I log into the Microsoft Client, it will

Howdy, Is it psoible to use a force group on creation of a file or directory only? I want to use this to make a more efficient use of unic permissions. If I use 'Force Group' then I cannot use the 'other' permission rights anymore in unix. I use a debian distribution (2.1) with Samba version 1.9.18p10-7 Any ideas? Grezzz Ries van Twisk

Hi All, We're going to upgrade our DCs to Windows 2008 R2 native mode soon, so we're facing with the challenge that how to get our samba servers (Solaris 8 & Solaris 10) work with Windows 2008 R2 native mode. I've compiled Samba 3.5.9 with AD support. Then I installed and configured the binaries on my 3 test machines (one Solaris 8 and two Solaris 10). The strange problem is one

Hi, I've just upgraded to Samba 1.9.17, but I can't get my samba server that resides in a differnet subnet to show up in the PDC's browse list. I've got samba configured as the local browse master and am registering with the wins server with: domain master = no local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 wins support = no

Hi, I am relatively new to the samba-suite. We are useing samba for file-Service and printer-service since a while the files residing on Digital-UNIX (DUNIX) and QNX and also the printers. works fine and very stable. Due to a reconfiguration I am looking for connecting the printer (HP-LJ4M) to a WinNT-WS client. and if I try to print out of DUNIX via smbclient this WS tells me something about

My Samba-shared printers (v2.0.3) printers worked great until I updated several software packages last weekend. These printers are networked and can still be used by running lpr from the command line of my Linux (RedHat v5.2, kernel 2.2.5) server. Print jobs sent from the client machines (OS/2 and Win98) are not printed. A job sent from a client machine is apparently just lost. Nothing

I have a stabily running Samba 2.2.0 operation in place. I've very happy and for once don't have to fight with a box to do file sharing. I've worked around some issues I've got (like ownership and ACLs) that are not directly samba problems, in fact they are probably Administrator problems. However, I've reached an impass. I can no longer use 2.2.0 because the big beast of

Hello everyone! I'm a brand new user to Samba. I've installed the 64-bit version on a Sun E-450, running Solaris 8. I had no trouble getting the software installed and running, but I can't add any additional users. The first user I added, myself, works fine. I have mounted 2 different shares. However, I can't add any other users. My procedure for adding users is to: 1) use the

I need to use a samba server (linux redhat 6.0 ) from a diskless dos machine ( has a floppy drive for booting) . So i need a very little tcp-ip stack for dos and a client for a NT server on dos so that they will be small enough to be on a 1.44 system floppy. Is that possible ? Paul

In Windows explorer the computer (Penguin) and share (Ring) show up, but when I try to access the share, I get the following message: \\Penguin\Ring is not accessible The share name was not found. Be shure you typed it correctly. I have Samba set up on another Linux machine (OldPenguin) in the same network, and it works fine. Both computers run Red Hat 7.1 and Samba 2.0.7 (which came

Hi -- Does anyone have any strong comments either positively or negatively about the new version 2.2.2 running on Solaris 2.7 or 2.6? I have been running version 2.2.1 since August and have been having some really unusual behavior with random denial for some users from some machines at random times. Is there any evidence that 2.2.2 might help with this? --

Hi, We're encountering severe load problems associated with multiple smbd processes running per user. As an example below, this user has only five files open yet many smbd's running. Is there a reason for this occurring? I've been experimenting with file locking etc to try and get around it. Thanks Tim tim@hostname:~> smbstatus -u yunjeng -S INFO: Debug class all level = 1

We run a lab of ~120 NT workstations. We have a problem with samba when Command Softwares AntiVirus is enabled for dynamic virus scanning of network drives. Office files get corrupted and/or can be saved. The client machines are all NT 4.0 sp4 with Office 97 sp2 The servers are solaris boxes running Samba 2.0.3 The problem can be seen by repeatedly modifying and saving a document stored on a

Does anyone have information or know how I can find out what option this rpm was built with? ie with winbind on... I still seem to be having odd winbind / samba / acl problems (cannot get perms. modified via a Win2k station to stick). Regards, Matt Twigg

We have upgraded from Samba 2.2.7a to 2.2.8a. We have samba running our our two UNIX file servers, one is Solaris 8 and the other RedHat Linux 7.3. Samba was compiled as follows: configure --prefix=/opt/samba --with-acl-support --with-quotas Right now it doesn't looks like changing file/folder permissions are working from W2K. When we right click on a file/folder and go to the
