I installed a samba server about a week ago for a client and have been having some trouble with it. The two problems that occur are: 1. The "Microsoft mail postoffice" occasionally has files with deny_all locks on them that prevent other users from sending email to the user. My first impression was that this was an Outlook issue, but rebooting the entire (client) computer does not

Hi, I am having some troubles setting samba up nicely on my Slackware 7.1 machine. It is currently just a web/ftp server mainly for my personal use at home. I downloaded the tarball samba-2.0.7 and did everything to install it "properly." I edited services to include: netbios-ns 137/tcp # NETBIOS Name Service netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm

Hi all, I have just released the fourth alpha snapshot of what will become Samba 2.2.0. It's available from the usual ftp sites, in the alpha directory as : <ftp mirror>:/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.2.0-alpha3.tar.gz If people could test this snapshot out and provide feedback about what is broken and let the lists know that would help. The problem acting as a PDC for

Hi all, I'd like to ask to make a version number change for the next stable release. Currently we're planning to release something we're planning to call 2.0.8. However, what I'm actually busyly creating in the CVS tree is HEAD minus vfs and dfs and some of the TNG mods. This is a very big change to call 2.0.8, which implies a minor rev. on 2.0.7. Now I still want to

We're had some recurring problems with nmbd's on Solaris 2.7 and Irix 6.5 failing to renew their WINS registrations in a timely manner causing the records to become tombstoned. While we've solved it by issuing "pkill" and "killall", respectively, of nmbd nightly from root's crontab, I wanted to alert the authors and other administrators to the problem so similar

Hi all, I just released Samba 2.0.7pre3, available from : ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.0.7pre3.tar.gz This is the third snapshot of the code that should become the official Samba 2.0.7 and is feature complete (ie. I'm only going to accept bug fixes, not more features). This is *not* production code, but should work well as a file and print server, and contains fixes for

I am a new Samba user so forgive my ignorance. I am using Samba version 2.0.6 on HP UX 11 and I need to use the "security mask" parameter to prevent even the owner of a file from changing the read only attribute (by right clicking on the file from a Windows NT 4.0 desktop) if the file is read only (Unix permissions: 0440). This is what I have in the "smb.conf" file: [global]

Well, as Andrew shouted at me again this weekend it's getting to be about that time.... :-) :-). Yep, we're thinking we should do an official 2.2 Samba release early next week, so if you have anything you can't live with, now would be a good time to tell us.... :-). It's been gestating longer than an elephant, so it's really time to let it out into the world and do its own

I brought this up some time ago at comp.protcols.smb, which showed that others have run into the same problem, but so far I haven't found a solution anywhere. The problem is that since Y2K, I haven't been able to browse the auto homes share [homes] with Win NT4 (details below). Does anybody have any idea what the cause of this problem is, and better yet, how to fix it? Thanks, -- Alex

Dear Samba Users I detected a strange behaviour between Win2k Prof. and Samba and I hope somebody can help me fixing it. The Bug: ======= Samba does not correctly return the volume name back to win2k. In the man pages it is written that by default the sharename is returned as volumename. This works fine for Win98 and NT4 but not for Win2k. If I say "label v:" (needless to say that v:

I'm running samba on a SPARC20 running Solaris 2.4. I have been running v2.0.5a successfully for quite some time.

If you don't want to type the ip adress of your samba server every time you connect, add a entry to your local hosts file and lmhosts file. You will find this files (and sample files with extension ".sam") in the windows main directory of Win95 and under "system32/drivers/etc" on WinNT 4.0.

A rather distressing timestamp issue (to multiple users here). Anyone seen similar behavior or have a suggestion/solution?
