FYI:, I'm fairly new to samba (a couple of months now), and have experimented - unsuccessfully - with getting it to work with clearcase. Does anyone have a how-to, or a list of gotcha's for setting up clearcase with samba? Thanks in advance for any information you can send me. Ozzie,

In order to see files under CC, you need to first set a view which defines the versions of files you want to see from the VOB. When connecting to a Samba system, there would have to be a way for samba to see into or set that view when you connected to a certain path. The only way this would really work would be if you could set something up such that for every user who connected to a given Samba share representing a ClearCase view, that users specific view were started before the share got served out. I suppose it *could* be done with some very creative shell scripting and samba configuration, but you'll have to be quite careful.

hello everybody !! clearcase and samba are working great together. there is really no problem at all. we run that at our company with more than 200 developers, but some preconditions must be met. First of all , do you use the nt-client for ccase version.321 ?. If that is true , the only important thing is to setup corerectly "case preserving" start cleaecase homebase, go to administration ->controlpanel->MVFS if you want to mount directly from win98(95) or nt with explorer you can mount /view/$view if the view-server process on unix is already started. You can do this manually on unix or you can let do this via preexec-scripts by samba.It is mandatory to the following example that loginname=viewname, I think you can live with that. fragment of smb.conf ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- [views] preexec = ksh -c "/usr/atria/bin/cleartool setview %u"& path = /view read only = no postexec = ksh -c "/usr/atria/bin/cleartool endview %u" in the global section of smb.conf, it is important to set preserve case = true !!!! hope, this helps regards Martin Schreiber SIEMENS Siemens AG ?sterreich Competence Center Information Technology and Networking Gudrunstrasse 11 A-1101 Wien Martin Schreiber Phone +43 1 1707 47565 Server-Administration Fax +43 1 1707 57560 mailto:martin.schreiber@siemens.at http://www.siemens.at Wichtiger Hinweis: Diese Information ist fuer den Gebrauch durch die Person oder die Firma/Organisation bestimmt, die in der Empfaengeradresse benannt sind.

There's a web page on using ClearCase and Samba: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Way/1136/samba.html Lately we have run into enough synchronization and performance problems between ClearCase and NFS Maestro that we're considering CVS as a way to solve a number of ills.> I'm fairly new to samba (a couple of months now), and have > experimented - > unsuccessfully - with getting it > to work with clearcase.

We have a samba 2.2.3 and Rational ClearCase 2002.05.20 implementation at our company. This configuration worked without a problem from April to August however now the users are getting a "Connect As" string from their Windows 2000 machines. If the users do an ipconfig /release and /renew the problem goes away for the day, however it reoccurs everyday.

In August we started having windows domain controller issues. Could it be
the number of users that are running ClearCase at a given point in time?
We have between 40 - 70 users accessing the VOBs at any given time. The
samba config file is setup not run security = SERVER.

the interesting part of the transactionis higher in the log i think
security=SERVER is tried first then
falls through to smbpasswd if there is some problem.
