Hi folks, I have a couple of observations about NetBIOS keepalive handling in Samba, in case anyone is interested. I came across a few oddities when investigating why some of our Samba servers were logging: lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(540) write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe type errors on a very frequent and regular basis. We have a number of Solaris 2.6 machines,

Hi folks, I have a Solaris 8 machine, running Samba 2.2.2, acting as a domain controller. Several different people in the Department do administrative work, such as adding client machines to the network. Rather than a single shared root password we've historically given each sysadmin a root equivelent account, so that in addition to root account there are several other administrator accounts

Hello all, Help!! Am running Unix 2.4 and Samba allowing windows clients to map the Unix server. Some users have been unable to connect to mapped drives and having looked at the logs I see the message: Unable to initgroup! this is probably a problem with the account nobody This message appears in all the user logs, however, only some users have the problem of connecting.

Hi, I am having trouble with a large dataset I am importing from SPSS. The problem is I have to merge two datasets (which seems to be working OK) then select rows based on attributes. I have a column with either blank cells, B or E entered. I want to select all rows with E. I have other columns with numerical data which I will then do analyses on. data[column==" E"] does not

Evolution (aka JimPerrin - or is this the other way around?) has been working on this excellent wiki article: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection However, the discussion is taking place at his own blog site http://www.bofh-hunter.com/ . Because this is a CentOS wiki article, I just wonder why we cannot do it here. Sure, his blog site may collect a wider audience, but we traditionally

Hello and thank you both for your answers! Dennis, I tried to simply run lm(a ~ b) after re-importing "a" as a matrix, but I get the following error message: Error in model.frame.default(formula = a ~ b, drop.unused.levels = TRUE) : invalid type (list) for variable 'a' so maybe I have to specify something in the arguments? What do you think? David, I tried your syntax as

I've got Redhat 6.2 kernel 2.2.18 and have been running samba 2.07. When I try to configure samba 2.2.0, the configure bombs out with an error ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe with what I think relevant lines from the configure output are: checking for Linux kernel oplocks... no checking for fcntl locking... no Is there something I have to enable in the Kernel for

Well you won't find them shouting about it, but if you dig down in their web pages on Solaris 9 you'll find this : "Common Linux applications, such as Samba, Apache, Linux (GNU) commands, etc., are included in the Solaris 9 Operating Environment. The Solaris Software Companion CD has an even more comprehensive set of free software." So I guess that means we made it onto the OS

Newbie question! We currently are running a product call TAS from Syntax Corporation and would like to move to Samba. I have review the documentation and cannot find how to set up muliple services on one server. I tried using the Netbios name = and the include statement to bring in another smb.conf file but I don't think I'm on the right track.

Andrew: One additional issue that came up with trying to configure the SMB.CONF file: The "Using Samba" book from O'Reilly says to start up my browser and go to "http://localhost:901, to use the SWAT package. This did not work. My IE 5.0 came back with an unable to locate or connect to the specified host. I know the /etc/services file was modified correctly, I checked it

Hi all, I would like to do something like this at Samba level: hosts allow = subnet1/mask1 subnet2/mask2 etc hosts deny = * But this doesn't seem to work (machine that are not in subnet1 and not in subnet2 still have access) I think the * is not understood by Samba, I tried ALL, this didn't work either. I'm gonna check the samba source code but if I could get an expert answer

samba2.07,nt4sp6a I run a samba-server with 15nt-clients on a 100MBit-Switch. Now I faced extremely poor performance and really have no idea why. I even dont know if it can be a samba-problem. When copying myriads of small file from a client to the server or vice versa I get bad performance: 1000 files a 16kb: ~80seconds = 200kb/second But this is highspeed compared to copying from nt to nt:

Hello, I need an answer to the following problem: I have a Samba server with domain logons enabled and with encrypt passwords=no. So I don't use the smbpasswd file, only the Unix password files.
