Hello, I have a problem with samba and windows 2000. In the smb.conf I have one part "include = smb.conf.%U" So that for every user samba will process a seperate file. The shares in that file I can see for a moment from the Windows 2000 Client. But after a short time (ca. 60sec)(I press F5 to refresh the shares) this shares from the include file are not longer there. This problem does not exists if I connect a share to the Windows 2000 Client. Then I can use the share for all the time. What can I do??? Thanks Dietrich Heise
I'm just taking a guess here, likely wrong. The question is, what does pushing F5 do to samba? MAYBE, samba is rereading the smb.conf file, and the %U has been changed due to some odd interaction between 2000 and samba, so the include file is not being read properly when you hit F5. Does the error only occur with F5? Don't be shocked by odd things. I just found that in my smb.conf file the parameter: include=smb.conf.public.%a was changed to include=smb.conf.public.UNKNOWN This must be some samba feature I have yet to learn about. I have learned never to update my smb.conf file with SWAT. Your best approach is to up your log level to 3 and pour over the log.smbd file for clues. Or, you might experiment with shares that don't use include files.

Hi,
I think that you don't know what my problem is.
Wenn I logged in to the domain on a samba server.
For that user, who logged in, there is one special smb.conf.<user> file!
In that file I have some shares.
here for the user anna (smb.conf.anna):
[NOCHEINE]
path = /samba/ressourcen/nocheine
readonly = no
comment [test42]
path = /samba/ressourcen/test42
readonly = yes
comment [WASWEISSICH]
path = /samba/ressourcen/wasweissich
readonly = yes
comment
When user anna logged in. For a short time all works fine.
In the "network neighborhood" are all shares availible (e.g. NOCHEINE,
test42
and WASWEISSICH)
here my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = IMUG
netbios name = IMUGDATEN
server string = Server %v
interfaces = 192.168.128.240/24
encrypt passwords = Yes
character set = iso8859-1
min password length = 3
map to guest = Never
keepalive = 600
domain logons = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
unix password sync = no
logon drive = U:
logon home = \\IMUGDATEN\%U
logon path = \\IMUGDATEN\%U\profiles
logon script = logon.bat
wins support = yes
printing = cups
log level = 10
security = domain
log file = /var/log/samba/log.samba
username map = /etc/samba/users.map
[TMP]
comment = Publicverzeichnis fuer alle MA
path = /samba/public
writeable = Yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%U
but after a short time the shares from the smb.conf.anna file are gone, so that
you only see one share
that is the TMP share. And all the other shares are gone.
I hope somone understand what I meen.

I'm just taking a guess here, likely wrong.
The question is, what does pushing F5 do to samba?
MAYBE, samba is rereading the smb.conf file, and the %U has been changed due
to some odd interaction between 2000 and samba, so the include file is not
being read properly when you hit F5. Does the error only occur with F5?
Don't be shocked by odd things. I just found that in my smb.conf file
the parameter:
include=smb.conf.public.%a was changed to
include=smb.conf.public.UNKNOWN
This must be some samba feature I have yet to learn about.
I have learned never to update my smb.conf file with SWAT.
Your best approach is to up your log level to 3 and pour over the
log.smbd file for clues.
Or, you might experiment with shares that don't use include files.

Shares disappear in Windows 2000 (Samba 2.2.1a)
Hi Dietrich, That IS odd. Try this - log on as anna (or whoever this is happening to), and see the shares you expect; immediately go to the unix command prompt and run the smbstatus command; record the processid of the smbd that lists anna's username and machine. Then wait (or press F5, whatever) until the shared go away, and then check 1. that smbstatus still shows the user anna from that machine as a connection 2. that the connection it does show from that machine is to the same PID that it was (maybe you are loosing your connection in the background) Perhaps this will give us some more info as to what's going on... Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Joel Hammer [mailto:Joel@HammersHome.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 6:58 AM To: Dietrich Heise; samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: Shares disappear in Windows 2000 (Samba 2.2.1a) I'm just taking a guess here, likely wrong.

I think I know what you mean. The question is, what happens when you hit F5? I would look at your logs and see what samba is doing at this time. I assume that samba is updating the shares in question for the user as the user saves things to them. I am assuming that only when you hit F5 do you see problems. Joel
Hi, The try with smbstatus was not very bad, now I know that Windows 2000 connects with a IPC$ share as nobody:nogroup and an other IPC$ as user:users with the same PID as the user after a short time all IPC$ connection are lost and from that moment on (I think) the dynamicly shared shares are lost. Maybe that someone know what I can do now? In the samba.log file I found an entry: [...] [2001/10/10 15:35:17, 3] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(646) anna (192.168.128.7) closed connection to service IPC$ [2001/10/10 15:35:17, 3] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(50) Yielding connection to IPC$ [...] What does "Yielding connection" meen? Is it the right way to the answer? Thanks Dietrich>That IS odd.
