If there a way to may samba "handle" files like ftp does during ascii transfers. Changing the ^m to unix end of line markers
[Troy.Heady@fritolay.com <Troy.Heady@fritolay.com>]> If there a way to may samba "handle" files like ftp does during ascii > transfers. Changing the ^m to unix end of line markersIt's a FAQ, the answer being that it wouldn't be easy, it wouldn't be efficient and nobody seems very interested in doing it. There arises the question of how Samba is supposed to tell whether a file is to be sent/received in ASCII mode versus leave-the-@#$%-alone mode. Unlike FTP, there isn't an SMB primitive for specifying this. The Linux FAT filesystem code once had some "autodetect" logic based on file extensions which I believe was unceremoniously dropped not long before the Linux 2.2 release, because it was too easy for it to make mistakes. Silent data corruption is generally considered a Bad Thing. One possible answer is that you could have a per-share smb.conf parm that would say "all files are ASCII". This could conceivably be useful, as you would only turn it on for shares where you know the data really *is* all ASCII. Your patch to this end would definitely be welcome to at least some people. (Whether the Powers That Be are interested in that sort of thing, I do not know.) Getting it right without corrupting data one place or another, now that's another story, so good luck. Failing that, the workaround most often suggested is "use Wordpad, not Notepad". It seems Wordpad can work with Unix-line-formatted files. Peter
Hi, got your site info from a Unix friend of mine, I think Samba is right for what we need, but I have NO experience with UNIX. My question is, are there companys that support Samba that we could contact to install and set up Samba on our server? The previous IS person was in contact with Prophet 21 http://www.p21.com/. I dont think we need to spend the amount of money they are asking. Thanks in advace, and great luck to your company. Michael Goudy IS Manager Kamaya, Inc.

Hello, My name is Marcus and currently I am unable to map my Windows 2000 computer to a UNIX server using Samba. On the NT clients it works only if we use the SambaRegistrykey that allows the NT client to map drives (that registry key is attached) . I tried using the registry key in 2000 but that does not work either. I there something different that has to happen in order for Samba to work properly in a 2000 client ? ps. HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/lanmanworkstation/parameters/ Reg_DWORD enableplaintextpassword is set to 1 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Marcus, It LOOKS like you are using the right registry key, however I believe it is case sensitive: should be: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Para meters] "EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001 There is a .reg file in the later distributions of Samba in the /usr/local/samba/docs directory that you can just copy over to the appropriate win2k workstation and double click on it to have it applied: Win2000_PlainPassword.reg is the name. Also, I believe you have to reboot to have this registry change recognized by the win2k workstation. I have applied this to MY win2k workstation, and it does allow me to communicate with a Samba 2.0.7 server using plaintext passwords...

Hi Judy,
type smbd -V
this will give you version information.
Hope this helps,

You should send your mail to samba@lists.samba.org. This address

Are there any options to allow a block device to be accessable over samba? Obviously the ioctl operations would not be available, but I would like to be able to perform read and write operations to a block device that is visible from an smb mount. For example, if I had access to /dev/cdrom (or more likely, an equivalent file in a different directory), and would like to read the iso image from another machine. If there is no option in smb to allow that now, how hard would it be to patch samba to allow that? (ie. get size of block device to present proper file length, and force all read and writes to be of the proper block size). Please CC me in any replies. Tim N.
Hi,
I'm wondering whether there is an existing compiled and installable version
of Samba or some components of Samba which will allow me to move files
between a Win XP (NTFS) partition and a UNIX partition on the same drive on
the same computer.
I do independent support for a major medical practice management software
system and most of the installations (some 30,000 in the U.S.) run on UNIX
servers. For that reason I boot into UNIX (SCO Open Server 5.0.6) for
program development and generally email the result, in zipped form, using a
Windows email system running on a cable modem.
For many years my Windows drives were set as FAT partitions and the
standard UNIX Commands of dosdir and docsp worked just fine. Then I
changed to FAT32 and these commands became non-functional. I was able to
generate and install some Mtools components, mdir and mcopy and read and
write to the C: drive from UNIX.
Now I have a NTFS system on the first partition of my first drive and UNIX
on the second partition. When I am in UNIX there seems to be no capability
to see these NTFS drives. I notice that when I run fdisk from UNIX the
UNIX operating system recognizes the first partition as OS2, which is
clearly an anomaly.
For small files I can use the floppy drive to move files back and forth,
but am of course limited to 1.44 MB by this method.
I now have the task of downloading over a modem some rather large files
from a remote UNIX system, moving them to Windows, and then transferring
them by Internet to a client who will do further work with them.
I'm look for some replacement for the mdir and mcopy commands, and when I
presented my question to the mtools group the answer was "Samba".
That's fine and I have looked at the Samba websites, but it's been so
long
since I compiled code and made executable programs under UNIX that my
deadline will be long gone before I get that done.
Hence the question. Is there something out there which will allow me to
communicate between the first two partitions on my first drive, C: for
Windows XP and /u which is the UNIX boot partition on that same drive?
Right now I have a bootable floppy to change the active partition from
Windows to UNIX, and use the UNIX fdisk program to change back to a Windows
active partition. Alternatively if I want to work mostly in UNIX I simply
execute at the boot: prompt
bootos 4
and it boots into windows, however the active boot partition remains UNIX.
If this is too much to deal with please don't bother. If it's something
straightforward I would surely appreciate some help.
Thanks,
Don Williams

Hello, I simply need to know if your software would allow us to have a UNIX server, and connect to client PC's running Windows 98, 2000, and XP or MAC's.

Hi,
I'm newbee with samba . I just finish the installation and configuration of
3 hp servers.
When I reboot one of my server , other clients lost the mountpoint using
the server and can reach and access the share after the server is boot up.
This is normal behavior.
But the client part of the server I just reboot don't get automatic access
to other server. I should enter the command at the command line.
I want to know if it is normal behavior or something to fix
in configuration to resolv this.
Thanks
