Dear Sirs, My name is Cl?udio Barizon and I work for a newspaper company in Rio de Janeiro - Brasil - called "O Globo". I would like to be writting about good things, but, unfortunantelly, we are having a little problem on enabling the Samba's resources to the Windows users. So, if you can help us, we woul be very thankful. We have an OPI system (Open Prepress Interface), that performs image administration on generation newspaper pages to be printed (it changes high resolution images for low ones and vice-versa, depending on the appropriate time, to optimize the net working). Just this system is installed over Unix in Sun platform (Solaris - Machine Sun E3000). All our users work on Windows workstations and, to access the OPI resources, they use the graphic interface enabled by Samba. In this environment, everything works very well and all configured resources (smb.conf) are correct presented. Although, we are rebuilding the back-up/contingency environment of this system (unfortunantely, we are a new team in this environment and, to make our situation worst, there is no documentation) and we identify a problem with Samba's resources. The platform is almost the same as the previous one: Solaris, but running over a Sun Ultra 2. The environment, however, is different: this machine runs another production system (Publishing) and it works as an OPI back-up machine, when necessary. We verified that some configurated resources (smb.conf) are not being displayed in Windows interface. For instance: we have 188 configured resources in the file, but just the firsts 92 resources are presented. We tried to find out any parameter file, which limited the amount of resources or bytes, but we didn't have success. In both machines the Samba's versions are different: in the first one (production) the version is 1.8.0; in the second on (back-up) the version is 1.9.15. Unfortunantely, we can NOT upgrade the versions (besides, where the interface is not working well is where the versions is more actual), because the Samba's resources, in the back-up machine, are used by the OPI (when it's on air) and also by the Publishing System (which is running and has some particularities). So, if you can help us, it would be very very nice! Sorry about my bad english and for writing you so long letter. Thank you very much and happy new year for everybody!!! Best regards, Cl?udio Barizon

Hi Claudio, Since it's just the resource names and descriptions that are not showing up, if you would send me a copy of your smb.conf file, I could put it on a test server here and see if I can reproduce the problem. If so, then a netmon trace and samba log files should allow me to help you. you can attach your smb.conf to a reply to don_mccall@hp.com. Feel free to xxx out the ip addresses, netbios name, as I will need to change those for the test anyway. Hope to be of help, Don -----Original Message----- From: Claudio Barizon - Projeto de Producao [mailto:Cbarizon@oglobo.com.br] Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2001 8:11 AM To: 'samba@lists.samba.org' Subject: "Sambing" Importance: High> Dear Sirs, > > My name is Cl?udio Barizon and I work for a newspaper company in Rio de > Janeiro - Brasil - called "O Globo".
