I have been having some difficulty with the installation of samba V2.0.3 on an
ultraSparc 3000 server. I was able to get it built, I have configured, defined
an smb.conf file, created an smbpasswd file, and I still get errors when I work
through the Diagnosing Samba checklist. BTW, I have checked the conf file using
testparms and corrected the problem mentioned there! I am using the newest
source release and building with gcc2.7.2.1.
There are really two issues at hand. The first is that even with nmbd running
swat doesn't recognize its state. Looking at the source briefly, it appears
that the determination is based on a connection test to 127.0.0.1. I am assuming
that this is failing and giving the bad status. I believe that the secondary
problems are byproducts of the first, however I am unfamiliar with the suite to
the point that further diagnosis will be difficult. I really want to use the
product, but I need to resolve this problem within the next couple of days if
this is to happen. Unfortunately, if I fail it will be a black eye here for Open
Source. Please help...
When I run Test 7 as described in the diagnosing page from the server itself I
get the following message:
# ./smbclient //case3000/mkslibs

Hopefully, someone can recommend a fix for me. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi guys, If I have a linux server running DNS for two different domains (e.g. joe.com and fred.com) is there a way of specifying which domain the samba WINS acts as a proxy for? At the moment it appears that whichever domain is specified first in /etc/resolv.conf is the proxied one. Cheers, Mark.
This was the only way I was able to get it to work: smbmount "\\\server\share" -c 'mount /mnt/samba-share' -U user ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

Hi, i have some problems during the installation of samba2.0.3 on irix 6.2. The ./configure-script works fine but after calling 'make' the compiler found some undeclared variables. In the function open.c the variable PC_NAME_MAX isn't declared. In the function chgpasswd.c the variables STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO, and STDERR_FILENO are not declared. Now i'm searching for the correct value of these varaibles to compile the files.
Hi, folks! To turn off the NT banner page, go to printer properties folder <<general>> and click the button <<banner>>/<<separator page>> or whatever, and remove what is in the textbox. Did'nt care to test this, I had to log on as administrator, hope it works anyway. BTW, I have an OKI Okipage laser printer, which is intended to run on Windows only, it's connected to an NT 4.0 workstation pc. In addition I has an Linux box on a network with the NT. I installed some <<TCP/IP printer server>> on the NT, network/services, installed lpd on the Linux box, configured it as remote printer, and lpd printed on the laser! The reason is that TCP/IP printer server uses windows drivers, shared on SMB (read Netbios) does not.. I'd has to adjust the margins however, it cuts some characters.. Don't drink and compute! Well it isn't risky at all, but the result is often funny... :) Sigmund>Date: Wed, 28 Apr 1999 14:41:40 +0100 >From: HARTNUJ@uk.ibm.com >To: samba@samba.org >Subject: Suppressing headers, printing via NT >Message-ID: <80256761.004B5B6D.00@d06mta05.portsmouth.uk.ibm.com> > > > >I've just set up lpd to print to a postscript printer attached to an NT >server, using the Redhat 5.2 version of the smbprint command.
