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 . (Is a directory) 02/20/98 18:13:45 error packet at line 962 cmd=45 (SMBopenX) eclass=1 ecode=5 error string = Is a directory size=35 ................. 3. 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 from InfoMagic distribution on a slackware Linux with kernel uppgraded to 2.0.30. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Best wishes, Marcel - Titus MARGINEAN mtm@albacomp.ro, m-titus@usa.net
