Hi, We have a very strange problem with samba. We have a Linux box (Slackware 3.3, kernel 2.0.3) and samba-1.9.17p4. Samba has been running well for a while (more than half year) without any problem. Our NT and 95 users can mount the home, shared directories and printer on the linux machine without any error message. We have a NT server 4.0 as PDC and smb.conf sets security = server and the NT server as password server. Since this morning a very strange thing happens. None of Windows 95 users can see the Linux shared directories/home/printer any more, but all NT users can still see them without any problem. The error message for Windows95 users is: "The share name was not found. Be sure you typed it correctly." There is nothing wrong with the share name because nobody changed it and NT users can still see them. I reboot the Linux and Windows 95 machines, but no luck. Can somebody give me any idea/suggestion to fix the problem? Thank you! Hongwei Li

The troubleshooting docs detail the process. Try doing a net view \\<the Samba server> to see if you can see the shares on your server from your Win 95 clients.

Hi all,
I want to map a subdirectory from a samba share direct to a drive letter on a
NT4 SP4
box. Is this possible (and how) or not?
This should work like:
a)
"net use x: \\server\share\abc\def\ghi"
or:
b)
"net use y: \\server\share"
"subst x: y:\abc\def\ghi"
"net use y: /delete"
The problem is, that the second variant don?t work under Win95 ("subst
don?t work on a
network drive").
I heard, that DFS (distributed file system from M$) provides such a
functionality and
under netware this is called "root mapped".
If this is not available under samba - is such a feature planed for a future
version?
