I'd like to take a moment to thank the samba team for a painless upgrade from 2.0.2/3 to 2.0.4. configure, make, stop, install, start. It was a joy. Woo woo! I've updated for 2.0.4 the patches for my auditing system, the close command parameter and smbwebstatus. Everything should be accessible at http://www.reac.com/samba/ auditing: http://www.reac.com/samba/samba-audit.html This patch adds auditing of various samba actions via syslog. Things like file deletions, logons, logoffs, etc can be audited. If you are currently using the patch and want to see some changes, please let me know what they are so I can work them into the next version. Work on this is going to start up again soon. close command: http://www.reac.com/samba/samba-closecmd.README This patch adds a new share parameter called 'close command'. The specified command will be run when a file is closed. Can be used to do postprocessing of files, batch fax transmission, what have you. This is just an update to the patch to apply cleanly to 2.0.4 -- no new functionality in there -- yet. group include macro: http://www.reac.com/samba/samba-grpinc.README This patch adds a new macro only usable in the include parameter. The macro expands to each of the groups that the user is in, so you can define parameter files based on group membership. smbwebstatus: http://www.reac.com/samba/smbwebstatus/ This a self-contained samba web status reporting program. It's a little mini-web server that operates like smbstatus, except it generates HTML pages. Requires a browser that supports frames and tables. All columns can be sorted. It's modeled somewhat after the NT "Server" control panel (the main difference is that smbwebstatus is actually useful). Please let me know of any problems. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Andy Bakun

If you were running in non-encrypted mode, then win98 will refuse to connect (if you don't add the EnablePlainTextPassword reg key). You can either run samba with encrypted passwords, or add the reg key to all your win98 clients. There's a win95password.reg file you can use; see also Encryption.txt for more details.

Take out your inetd.conf lines and then check your links to the above script; you're probably not booting to xdm, so check /etc/rc.d/rc3.d to see if the smb link (pointing to the above script) starts with a K or S. The latter means start the script, while the former means kill (don't start it). The numbers define the order in which services are started. Then when you change anything in smb.conf, just call the above script with the "restart" argument as root, ie: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart Hope this helps, Steve ****************************************************************** Stephen L Arnold http://www.rain.org/~sarnold #include <std_disclaimer.h> ******************************************************************
