I installed Samba on my Linux box, then I got next problems: 1. Printing from NT. When I try to connect a network printer to my Samba printer , NT report something like "invalid printer name" and in log writed by Samba appear: .............. smb_bcc=14 switch message SMBopenX become_user now uid=(0,507) gid=(100,100) 02/20/98 18:00:38 error packet at line 3677 cmd=45 (SMBopenX) eclass=2 ecode=4 size=35 .................... 2. Some problem when I try to connect a printer from win 3.11: ................. smb_bcc=1 switch message SMBopenX Skipping become_user - already user unix_clean_name [] unix_convert(,83) New file unix_clean_name [] Error opening file .

In NT mapping network drives work fine but in 3.11 all file names are truncated to 3 chars, first char is all the time '~' followed by 2 alpha. All the files was copyed from dos so they are dos file names. Log report: ...................... switch message SMBsearch become_user now uid=(0,507) gid=(100,100) path=\~Q9\????????.??? status_len=0 unix_clean_name [./~Q9/????????.???] unix_convert(./~Q9/????????.???,121) checking log. for 8.3 Mangling name LOG. to ~2M checking hosts for 8.3 Mangling name HOSTS to ~62 checking kituri for 8.3 Mangling name KITURI to ~Q9 New file ????????.??? unix_clean_name [./kituri/????????.???] mask=????????.??? directory=./kituri start_dir cnum=121 dir=./kituri unix_clean_name [./kituri] creating new dirptr 1 (0x803bf30) for path ./kituri, expect_close = 0 dptr_num is 1 checking . for 8.3 mmatch [.] [????????.???] 1 get_dir_entry found ./kituri/. fname=. checking .. for 8.3 mmatch [..] [????????.???] 1 get_dir_entry found ./kituri/.. fname=.. checking msvc20 for 8.3 Converted name msvc20 Mangling name MSVC20 to ~GR to ~GR mmatch [~GR] [????????.???] 1 get_dir_entry found ./kituri/msvc20 fname=~GR ...................... I have try a lot of combinations with: mangle case = yes/no, mangled name = yes/no, default case =lower/upper but the result was the same. If there somebody know what is the problem and how can I solve it please answer me. Thank you in advance, M.T.M. P.S. When I start "Network Neighborhood" NT 4.0 it did't find my server. It is normal ? With Map Network Drive connexion succed. I have Samba version 1.9.00 from InfoMagic Linux distribution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Best wishes, Marcel - Titus MARGINEAN mtm@albacomp.ro, m-titus@usa.net
Greetings all, and Happy Hollidays. I have read the FAQ's extensively, and I am still having some minor problems, so if this problem has a simple solution, please forgive my ignorance. I have compiled and installed SAMBA-1.9.18p10 on a SPARC station. When I run smbclient -L Hostname it allows me to log in and shows the correct shares. However, when I try to map the drive (on the Sparc station) from an NT machine, it does ask for a username and password, but then I get the error message "The account does not have authorization to login from this station" I do not have any host allow or host deny parameters in the smb.conf file. My configuration file follows: [global] log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m lock directory = /var/lock/samba share modes = yes browseable = yes admin users = matthew force directory mode = 755 force user = matthew netbios name = Hobbit security = USER [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no writeable = yes create mode = 0755 path = /mnt/WWW/ delete readonly = yes This configuration is supposed to be simple, all I am trying to do at this point is get a share name, that I can map to from NT. I will get more complicated as I get more comfortable with the functionality. If you have any suggestions from your experience that will help performance for what I am trying to accomplish, I would greatly appriciate it.

I installed a file server in my linux box and when the users were tring to move their contents into the server their windows gave a page fault error. Does this have a way out? What should I do?

Hello,
I am having problems getting Samba to work on my system. I have a Sun
Ultra Enterprise 450 running Solaris 2.7. I have downloaded the latest
version with cvs. It configures correctly but crashes during make. Has
anyone had a problem with this?

hello,
i still have problems with my samba-server after various general
configuration-changes. i can not connect any client to the server. there is
no way with win 95 or nt nor with the linux-server itself. i work with three
machines runnig win 95, nt and linux (kernel 2.0.36) with the local ip
addresses 192.168.0.1 (linux), 192.168.0.2 (nt) and 192.168.0.3 (win95).
i use samba version 2.0.5a. i have enabled encrypt passwords = yes and build
a smbpasswd file with the mksmbpasswd.sh script. after that i have changed
the passwords for the valid user. my smb.conf declares two sections. one
[home] for the user and a [public] for central storage of data and access
for every valid user.
a copy of my smb.conf is attached.
the problem is that i can not connect to my server. if it is running as
local master it looks like no browse list is send to the other computers.
because there is a browse list in the /var/lock/samba/ directory but no
computer is shown in the workgroup. if it is not runnig as local master and
nt is up all computers are visible. but there is no access to the samba.
after looking in my log.nmb i saw that a user is recognized as a valid user
and the password is accepted but then i got this message:
Couldn't set effective gid to 100 currently set to (real=0,eff=0)
after that the connection is closed.
i have looked on various websites for help, but i cant find. I am new in
using networks and linux and please excuse my bad english but please try to
help me.
yours

hello,
i have still the problem with my configuration as i descriped last time. it
isn't a password problem, because all valid users are accepted. if i watch
my log.smb i get these messages:
-for valid users
[2000/01/29 20:39:53, 3] smbd/password.c:authorise_login(741)
ACCEPTED: validated uid ok as non-guest
[2000/01/29 20:39:53, 3] smbd/service.c:make_connection(424)
Connect path is /tmp
[2000/01/29 20:39:53, 0] smbd/uid.c:become_gid(105)
Couldn't set effective gid to 100 currently set to (real=0,eff=0)
[2000/01/29 20:39:53, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(463)

and for valid guest account

[2000/01/29 20:37:30, 0] smbd/uid.c:become_gid(107)
Looks like your OS doesn't like high gid values - try using a different
account
[2000/01/29 20:37:30, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(463)
Can't become connected user!
it looks like samba is trying to switch the uid or gid on the socket and my
os (linux kernel 2.0.36 ) doesn't like this, but i dont know how to fix (i
still walked through the fault tree). ideas welcome!

Hello, I've just installed samba and I have it up and working...well sort of. Here is my problem and I'm not sure what is causing it. Setup: I have a Linux box which is a gateway for my network running samba. A windows 2000 pdc exists on the network along with a handful of Windows 2000 and Windows 98 client systems. They all login to samba after I take the windows 2000 pdc off line. However, I am experiencing two problems. The first is that when a user is loged in and then logs off and a second user logs in the second user can see his/her home directory along with the first user's home directory. how would i fix this. Secondly, I am having problems with the computers seeing each other on the network. I am getting errors when I try to access another user's shares. It says that the computer is unavaible. But I can see it in network neighborhood and can ping it. This is all occuring on the same subnet so I know its not that. Any ideas? -- Jason Osborne Data and Telecom Network Solutions Your total Internetworking solutions provider! 3847 Timberglen Rd., STE 4013 Dallas, TX 75287 Phone: 972-307-0676 Mobile: 214-284-3337 Web: http://www.sohonetworks.cc E-mail: sales@sohonetworks.cc
Sir, I recently install samba ver. 2.2.1a in our unix aix ver 4.3.3. I have also copied smb.conf to /usr/local/lib and ran testparm (ok), smbd and nmbd. But when I ran smbstatus it reported connections.tdb not initialised. What should I do. Please help. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
I've followed the steps outlined in diagnosing samba problems from the site below. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html Everything is fine until I get to Test 8, where I get a "network path not found" error (system error 53). I am using a Win2000 server box to try and view a share directory on a Red Hat 7.2 Linux box. I have those connected to a 4 port Linksys router which connects to the outside via my DSL modem. I can ping the Linux box by IP address as well as by its computer name from the Win2000 machine. I've tried the rememdies you outline in Step 8 to fix the potential netbios name resolution, however, still no luck.
Dear Sirs, i have a problem with samba since running on HP UX 11. Our samba is running in security = share Mode. If i try to connect a PC with Win NT Sp5 or WIN 98 i cannot access the samba. With PC running WIN NT Sp6 or W2k it is no problem. Can you give me an information, how i can solve this problem.

testparm tells me everything works fine.
Starting the service using "/etc/init.d/smb start" also returns no
errors,
BUT the service is never listed in the processes, not in ps, not in ps x and not
in ps ax
And stopping the service returns errors.

Hello! I use Samba 2.2.0b on my FreeBSD 4.3 box to keep *.dbf database files so it serves as the file server for our production. The problem is that when several people run application written in Visual FoxPro on their Win98 machines at the same time their program hangs. When I issue the command:>/usr/local/samba/bin/smbstatus |head -16it shows multiple open sessions from the same client machines I can't figure out what can cause this problem. Does anyone know how to get around this? My Samba configuration file is here: [global] netbios name = SAMBA server string = Samba %v on (%L) workgroup = GREATEWORK security = SERVER wins support = yes os level = 43 local master = yes preferred master = yes encrypt passwords = yes character set = ISO8859-5 client code page = 866 #Network configuration options hosts allow = 192.168.1. localhost interfaces = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = yes create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 [data] path = /dos browseable = yes guest ok = no writable = yes valid users = @myusers -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
