We have been using rsync for some time with Linux and FreeBSD, but are just now trying to make it work with Windows. Not as easy as we hoped. I am running the cwrsync client 3.0.6 on a new Windows 7 machine to a FreeBSD 8.1 server. I have an exclude-from filelist, which does seem to successfully exclude the directories given by many of its entries, including these two lines: Documents/My[

I have 2 groups of machines, and within each group the pxelinux menu configuration is standard. It would be great to have 2 configuration files rather than one for each machine. I found the pxelinux magic option configfile (209) in http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX and it suggests for ISC dhcpd: site-option-space "pxelinux"; option pxelinux.magic

We have been network booting FreeBSD for some time with pxeboot. But now we would like to have menu of OSs to boot and got the idea somewhere that gpxelinux could do that for us. We copied gpxelinux.0 from the syslinux-4.02 distribution and replaced pxeboot with "gpxelinux" in the dhcpd.conf file. Indeed with a configuration file in pxelinux.cfg like this: default freebsd

We have two FreeBSD 8.0 Samba (3.3.9) servers running with identical smb.conf files, except for the workgroup and netbios parameters. Both serve files flawlessly, but only the first is normally visible to browsing by XP and Win7 clients. Interestingly, if we reboot the first server, then the invisible (second) server becomes visible for several minutes, but then disappears again and is no

We reently upgraded our rsync client from Freebsd 10.2 to 11.2 which upgraded our rsync from 3.0.6 protocol version 30 to 3.1.3 protocol version 31. The server remains Freebsd 11.1 with rsync 3.1.2 protocol version 31. Now we get numerous messages like this: rsync: readlink_stat("/disk/homedirs/nber/bstevens/public_html/old/test/press reaction/Foreign

Hi, I believe it's mentioned in one of the docs with the samba distro, that this problem can happen, when you have File and print services enabled on the PC's using a protocol _other_ than tcp/ip like NETBUI or IPX. Samba use's TCP/IP only. Marc Heckmann UNIX systems Space Technologies, SGS Canadian Space Agency

In the reg files there is a number at the end of every section/key property. Example: [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\VxD\\MSTCP] 1296424715 What is the purpose of "1296424715"? Is this a time stamp or checksum?

Hi, I've successfully got DOS booting over PXE with Memdisk, but as RAM is severely limited in the PCs I'm using (only 32-64MB) I can't load a huge Memdisk image to run large DOS programs, Windows, etc. Are there any programs out there like Memdisk, but instead of storing the disk in RAM they read it over the network? (A "netdisk" program.) This would be a really useful

Hi there, I have two Samba servers running within an NT domain. One Samba (F-Samba) server runs samba-1.9.18.10 on top of FreeBSD-2.2.8 and the other (L-Samba) runs samba-1.9.18p2-C6 on a RedHat Linux variant. All of our NT machines run NT4,SP4. One is workstation and the rest run server. The PDC is an NT Server (NT1). F-Samba and L-Samba only show up in the browsers of about half of the

Believe me, I have tried everytbing I can think of to solve this problem. I will work my tail off to resolve this but I am fresh out of ideas. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are the details... problem: server can see machines/shares on clients but clients cannot see machines/shares on server workgroup/domain: golgerth no router server: rpms: kernel 2.4.18.19.8.0

Hi, I've looked through the samba archives, and saw no messages related to this. Is there a way to get smbtar to tar long filenames? When I restore the files, they're all cut down to 8.3 format. smbclient does see the long filenames of an NetBui drive, why doesn't smbtar? Thanks. Gabe

Hi All: I have scoured the archives and done a Google search with no answers. I set up Samba on Redhat 7.2 Samba 2.2.1a-4 on a friends network. He is running 2 Windows 98 machines. They can't browse network neighbourhood. Sometimes rebooting the machines will fix it temporarily. Shutting down Samba allows the Windows Machines to browse the network. So, I am pretty sure it is the culprit.

I have posted more messages, essentially to the same effect... had quite a few good answers, but somehow I seem to be missing something ... :-( Well, I told you already about the workgroup DAARO, which refused to show up... I got some suggestions, and, indeed, there it was! I could even log in to it. And then, next morning, I started up my test network, ... no DAARO. However, after a restart

I'm just getting started, and getting quite a strange result. I've been able to mount my (login hal) Linux home directory as E: on my w95 system, but when I try to "smbmount //isdn2/AMDAHL-WORK /mnt/amdahlwork", where /mnt/amdahlwork is an empty directory on Linux, isdn2 is defined in /etc/hosts as 192,168.1.2, the address the W95 box uses, and AMDAHL-WORK is the name under

Hello Regarding ownership on the destination: rsync's man page indicates that when synchronizing files to a remote host, -o implies the --numeric-ids option, which makes perfect sense aince the named users/groups may not exist on the destination host. The problem I have is that the files created on the destination still appear to be owned by the local user (server1) on the rsync

I just saw this thread while browsing my emails and I want to report that I get this frequently but randomly on every Samba4 domain I run. It is completely random in that it affects a PC today, but a week from now that same PC may work just fine. It may then affect a different PC which had no issues prior. Also, if I click the link to "gpt.ini" in the event log the file DOES open and I

Sorry if this is the subscription address and not the mailing list address, if so..... subscribe sglenister@comcab.co.uk ;-) Guess what...I have a problem. Bound to be my lack of knowledge about Netbios/ WINS/Netbui etc.... Been going through the DIAGNOSIS.txt tests and have got this far... ../smbclient -d 10 -L indy1 which gives... ============================================== 07/13/1998

The default setting for Win95 are to do DNS before WINS. You can try to change this order to see if this fixes the problem. I clipped the following from the Technet article - Q139270. It would be easier to disable DNS on a Win95 client to see if the name resolution order is causing your problem; then do all this happy stuff... ------------------------------------ cut

I can only conclude that Samba is an elaborate hoax and here's why. 1) Setup is more complex than Sendmail (it set the standard for complexity) 2) Even the simplest smb.conf causes trouble 3) You can pass ALL the tests in the DIAGNOSIS procedure, AND Samba will still not let you SHARE FILES or SHARE PRINTERS between Windows and Unix but you WILL be able to BROWSE YOUR SHARES (Just pretend
