We are running Samba 1.9.16p11 on a Sun SPARC 10 and Windows NT 4.0 (SP2/SP3). We have a NT Server acting as the primary domain controller, domain master browser, distributed file system server, password server, and WINS server. Users' home directories and some software reside on the UNIX machines. I am currently running a linux box inside a corp which is running NTDOMAIN. I am trying to get samba to tell the resource controller about my box, much as my win 95 box does.... I have set the domain server, workgroup, and security flags, but I don't seem to join the resource... Zot
Morning people!
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any experience backing
up a Unix machine using a Windows95 backup program using
Samba? Basically, I am mounting a few shares on the Unix machine
and including these in a backup schedule of the windows network.
I am encountering some interesting problems:
backing up files like 'Windows95.txt' and 'windows95.txt'
which can exist at the same time on the Unix machine, and
show just fine in the Windows share, basically causes the
tape drive to go into a loop and back up the first file
infinitely (up to 170G!!)
files like 'Windows95.txt.bak' and 'Windows95.txt' cause
the same problem as above.
Can anybody offer me some assistance? Is this infact a good way
to back up?
Cheers,
M

..We learn from history that we do not learn anything from history..
I'm trying to get UNIX and NT to work together and want to have as much security that I can get. I can get the NT to authenticate with UNIX by modifying the Registry (Service Patch 3) but I want to stay away from that. I can also get the UNIX machine to validate the NT login from the NT server, thus from what I understand encryption. However, I would like to have accounts reside on the UNIX machine (not on the NT server) and use encryption. That is where I'm loosing it.... I have setup the password files for Samba (default: /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd. and I have modified the smb.conf to include the line "encrypt passwords = yes". Supposedly this allows me to use NT encryption (not having to mess with Windows 95B or NT w/patch 3) and use UNIX accounts. The only problem is making sure the Samba password file is up to date. Am I missing something? I'm not sure where libdes.tar.92-10.13 fits in either. My problem now is that I try to connect to the UNIX machine from NT with my UNIX passwords and username and it keeps asking. Any clues?

I'm running Samba 1.9.17p4 on AIX 4.1.5. On an NT 4 sp3 network with DNS/WINS and dhcp. Clients are NT WS4 sp3 and 95. The 95 clients are fine. But even after the registry fix the NT WS clients can only connect sporadically more often than not the path to the share on samba cannot be found. Is there any other fix I can apply? The Samba server is also announcing itself as a browse master is there someway to turn this off?
