I'm having problems with one share. It's mounting a directory on an isilon over NFS. I've re-created the setup on the same machine where the data is and that works fine, it's just the existing share gives trouble. I can create a file, but not rename and sometimes not delete. Also saving file from say photoshop result in two empty files being created one with the proper filename

Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro. This application is entirely installed in a Windows share and it has a hystory of strange phenomenons. Initially it ran fast on an old NT server (but that server has been replaced). It has strange performance problems with Windows 2000 Server: it runs fast with some servers and slow with

Here's my setup: Caldera Open Linux Lite (kernel 2.0.29) Samba 2.0.4a Windows Domain (Two Windows NT 4.0 Servers -- one PDC, one BDC -- and numerous Windows NT 4.0 Workstations) I can see my Linux box in Network Neighborhood on my Windows NT boxes. I can open the Linux box and see the top level shares available. When I try to open a share I see one or two anonymous folders. Anyone

Hi, What I wanted to do was to export an FUSE based filesystem mounted on linux to a windows box using samba. I can browse and navigate the fuse filesystem without problems on the linux box. With smbd running I can even navigate the filesystem using smbclient. Unfortunately when I try to access the exported file system from WinNT the mountpoint of the filesystem shows up as a zero size file

Hello, i habe an Sama 3 Server with some shares. If I access these shares from Windows and if I generate new files or dirs with german umlaute everythink is OK.

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

Hi Samba team. I installed on a new server samba 3.2.0. And all work fine, except the reload-config command and other things. For resolve some missed-configuration, I modify the smb.conf and call smbcontrol <smbd_pid> reload-config, but it's not work. Ex : I added mdfs root = yes (same as samba 3.0.x), after I called smbcontrol xxxx reload-config [2008/07/28 00:17:34, 3]

I have issues running logon script on samba 3.5.9 (freebsd 8.2p1) under non root user. When i login to the XP box under root all is OK. logon script is working, but it's totally not working under all other users. turning on debugging reveals that under non root it's incorrectly parsing the logon script name from config (adding full network path to filename) unix_convert called on file

Question regarding file permissions on Samba 3.0.22: Using a Windows XP client when I attempt to change the file permissions of a directory (or any single file for that matter) once I click the 'OK' button the properties window closes as expected, but upon opening the security permissions tab again I notice the permissions have revented back to how they were beforehand. If I click

I am suddenly no longer able to see any existing files on one of my shares, from my Windows clients. I have a Linux server (Fedora Core 8) which used to be my firewall and router as well as file and print server. There are two Samba shares on it I have mounted on various Windows clients: my home directory and a multimedia directory with my music and videos, etc. I mount the former as H: on all my

So I'm trying to copy a file called "Stuffit Standard 8.0.2 X Installer.dmg" from my Panther workstation to a Debian i386 server, running Samba 3.0.2a as packaged under Debian. There's plenty of disk space left, I'm looking at a folder full of files with long names, some containing spaces. When I drag the file from my workstation's local folder to the folder on the

Hi, I have encountered some strange behaviour after upgrading to 3.0.12 on FreeBSD 4.10 file servers. Normally when users on windows apps use the file browser to select a file it remembers the selected directory between invocations, so that, for example, they can easily read in multiple files from the same directory, or if they click on Save As... it takes them to the directory where they

Hi; I'm having a really odd problem with some Windows ME stations connected to a Samba server. From a command prompt on the ME stations, I do the following: dir *.* This works as expected, all the files in the directory are displayed. I then do: dir test.txt And I get: General failure reading drive G Abort, Retry, Fail. The directory contains the file, and the file shows up in a full

Could anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong here? I'm using samba-1.9.18p8 on a Linux 2.0.32 box, RedHat 5.0 install.

Hi all, Is there a way to use the "encrypt passwords" and the "passwd chat" programs simultaneously? smb.conf(5) doesn't mention anything about them being mutually exclusive, yet when I run testparm on the smb.conf file, I get: ERROR: the 'passwd chat' script [...] expects to use the old plaintext password via the %o substitution. With encrypted passwords

Hi, based on Bart Lagerweij's ( www.nu2.nu ) bootdisk, I've created a small DOS system that users can start by booting from network ( PXE ). The system is configured to map a network drive from a Suse 9.0 Pro / Samba server with various tools on it. The connection is anonymous. Until recently everything worked fine but suddenly there are strange errors: When I try to launch an EXE from

I'm having a problem with files locking so that every time the are opened up they are opened as Read-Only. Windows doesn't see them as readonly but Samba thinks that they are write=no and so they can't be saved or deleted. I've included a log, my smb.conf, and a getfacl of a user's home directory as well as a getfacl of the directory from /home. Any help would be

I really appreciate all your responses on this. I might not have fixed it by looking at samba logs but i noticed there was directory in user unix directory with wildcard * as folder name once i removed it, samba showed up all the files and directory. am not sure what would * as folder name caused this behaviour may be samba was trying to interpret * as something else not sure...... or it was
