samba - Dec 1998 - Difference between samba 2.0.0beta4 and NT4.0 ?

Hi Samba-gurus,

I have a problem with samba 2.0.0beta4 on solaris 2.5.1
(samba 1.9.18p10 behaves the same) :

1. I have a ordinary text-file on a samba-share (foo.txt).
   NT4.0 sees the samba-share (\\sun100\tmp) as a netdrive
   with the letter K:. I've done a 'net use k: \\sun100\tmp'.

2. I can doubleclick in NT4.0-explorer on foo.txt and notepad
   comes up correctly.

3. I created a shortcut to file foo.txt, getting a file
   foo.txt.lnk on solaris. 

   In the explorere-property-sheets of the shortcut to foo.txt the sheet
   shortcut shows the target (in German : Ziel) of the shortcut,
   in this case K:\foo.txt.

   Doubleclicking on the shortcut iin explorer starts up notepad
   also. That's ok.

4. For some reason I want to eliminate the letter K: in the
   shortcut-properties and want to replace it with the UNC-name
   of the samba-server (\\sun100\tmp).

   I edited the shortcut-properties (replacing K:\foo.txt with
   \\sun100\tmp\foo.txt) and NT4-explorer accepted it (if the path
   is not correct the explorere gives me an error-message).

   If I then do a doubleclick on the shortcut, nothing happend,
   no notepad or error-message copmes up. A real Microsoft-NT-server can
   handle the UNC-name in the shortcut-properties, I've tried it.

   The samba-logfile says :

[1998/12/16 13:16:04, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(534)
  pp3021 opened file foo.txt.lnk read=Yes write=No (numopen=2)
[1998/12/16 13:16:04, 2] smbd/close.c:close_file(163)
  cad closed file foo.txt.lnk (numopen=1)
[1998/12/16 13:16:04, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(534)
  pp3021 opened file foo.txt.lnk read=Yes write=No (numopen=2)
[1998/12/16 13:16:04, 2] smbd/close.c:close_file(163)
  cad closed file foo.txt.lnk (numopen=1)

(My NT-account is pp3021, which is mapped via user.map to my
solaris-account cad)


Am I missing something, what smbd-configuration-parameters
are necessary or is it a bug or incompatibility within samba
(samba 1.9.18p10 behaves the same).

Any pointers are welcome !!!

Cheers,

I tried it here with both with samba-2.0.0beta4 and 2.1prealpha. I can
create shortcut with UNC on NT pointing to samba (both versions) and on
samba pointing to other samba. All works. I double click on it and get
notepad (the file is boot.ini). So something is different. I have pretty
vanilla setup on both; both samba's are running with domain securtiy.

Can you check, what is really in lnk file (use someting like od or hd). May
be, a simple typo?

Andrej:

Thanks for your mail.

Here is the output of 'od -c foo.txt.lnk'. The samba-server is here not
sun100,
but ultra305.

The od-output doesn't mean anything to me.

I also use domain-security.

It can't be a simple typo, because the explorer catches that.

The same behaviour happened on a win95-client.

Do you use user-mapping ?

Andrej :

I've got it !!!

The problem was a 'browseable = no' on my samba-share \\ultra305\tmp.
If I do in windoze a execute -> \\ultra305, the new explorer-window, which
pops up shows me only my printers and the browseable shares.
Nevertheless I can connect to the non-browseable shares with 'net use'
or via explorer (because I know the sharename).

I set browseable=yes in my smb.conf and the lnk-file is ok, the doubleclick
on the shortcut brings notepad up.

As far as I understood windoze creates the lnk-file and causes the problem.
If the shortcut uses a driveletter, then Windoze creates a correct lnk-file,
if the shortcut uses a UNC-name, it doesn't.

Can't samba catch this (I don't think so) ?

I dont't know NT good enough, can you do a browseable=no on NT also ? What
happened then ?


But, my problem is solved, thanks for your help.
