similar to: "create mask = 0660" and "map archive = yes" ?

If I copy a file locally from a samba mount and download the same file via FTP the file sizes are different. The FTP file is correct where as the copied file is an incorrect format. Although I can't see a physical difference, after writing to tape you can see that each record is shifted a space. Is there any setting to control the data conversion across a samba mount? Mike

My question is, how come daevid (on XP) sees the following directories: \\linux\dae51d \\linux\homes Shouldn't there just be the home dir only? Why does "\\linux\dae51d" show up (I assume it's b/c that's who I am logged in as on XP which maps to linux)? However, the fact that it does show up, shouldn't it be the actual HOME directory of the linux user account dae51d (as

First off, thanks! :) It appears that the issue could be a bad switch. At this time, I have turned down the server's NIC to run at 10baseT-FD and the performance has seriously increased. It now takes roughly 25 to 35 seconds to copy and 8mb file to the server, but it now takes a little longer to copy a file from the server. So, we are now in the market for some far superior network

I've recently installed a new server here. This is my first Samba install so I'm a newbie. We are using RH9 and Samba 2.2.7a. Everything with the transition from the old server to the new went great. I do seem to have one little bug though that I've been unable to work out. If one of the users copies the contents of a CD to the server the permissions for the folder and files copied are

Hello, I am using Samba "Version 2.2.3a-12 for Debian" on a Debian 3.0 system. I have looked at lots of Samba documentation and have not been able to find anything explaining what I need. I want to create a single directory on my Samba server that is ok for any user (e.g. 'guest ok = yes'), but is password protected. Meaning, I want a share that any user can access as long as

Hello, I've been running samba 2.0.7 for a couple years now on a DEC alpha with Tru64 4.0D. I't pertty much a default smb.conf as far as oplocks & that sort of stuff. Anyway, the other day some users started having troubles with saving ms-word files. The smbd processes have always been running as root. But now the users with the problem own their smbd process. And they get

Hey, everyone. I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on a Debian Linux 3.0 box and for some reason, when someone tries to delete something they can't, it does give them the access denied message the first time. When they try to do it again, no message appears and it seems to be deleted (it disappears from the list), but when they refresh the list, it appears again. My file system is as follows

Hi all, first i want to say a big "Hello" to the list, since this is my first posting here. Yesterday i just installed another SAMBA server on a middle class (K6-2 500, 128MB) machine. All shares are accessable like expected but i often get an "Can't move file. File in use." error from my W2K client when moving large amount of files to the SAMBA server. This error

Goldmine seems to a compiled database application compiled in something likeClipper. Clipper applications record lock through ISAM like files (DBF). However, in Windows NT/2000/XP, Opportunistic locking is turned on by default in order to accelerate file transfer from file services. [Windows 95/98 did not Opportunisticly lock] However, opportunistic locking corrupts ISAM and ISAM like

I just want a simple, globally accessible directory for anyone on my LAN. I don't care who they are, who they're logged in as on their windows machine, I don't care about security (it's my own private LAN!!!). Why is this so difficult to do? I've looked through the archives (which by the way, could someone spend a few minutes and put a SEARCH feature there. Following threads

hi all... i have what seems a simple question regarding subshares, for lack of a better term... say i have a share with specific user/group permissions and a directory inside the share that i would like to add different user/group permissions... this is an example of my smb.conf file to illustrate [driveA] path = /samba/driveA browseable = Yes writeable = Yes valid users = PDC+groupA force group

Is anyone having any problems mapping samba shares in a mixed NT/Samba domain ? I've setup samba as a domain member server using winbind, everything work perfectly except... If i edit my NT logon script and add a "net use j: \\samba\drive" entry in the script, only 90% of the users will map the samba drive, my workstation included, it's a mix, 98/2000 and XP workstation seem to
