Dear community members, we set up samba-3.0-beta1 on Debian Linux 3.0. This was done taking the Debian unstable package and recompiling it for Debian stable. The kernel is 2.4.20 from Debian testing with a patch for the RAID controller in Dell Poweredge 2600. The server is running quite fine since two weeks and serving 9 PC (running WinNT, Win2k and WinXP), providing them mostly with AutoCAD and Excel files. Anyway, from time to time the users are not able to save the changes to a document, since Windows sayed that the file is locked (by the same user). Apparently this seems to happen only with Excel and Word files, not with AutoCAD files. We have tried both, oplock = yes and oplock = no. We are not using ACLs at the moment. We are using tdb. Everything else is quite standard. The share have a "force group = users" option. Unix file permissions should be fine. Thank you for your attention, Peter
Hi All,
I am running Samba3.0 beta 3 installed from RPM's provided on the Samba.org
FTP server. My platform is Red Hat 9.
I am seeing a lot of errors such as:
Aug 6 17:50:18 server3 winbindd[31138]: [2003/08/06 17:50:18, 0]
nsswitch/winbindd_sid.c:winbindd_lookupname(103)
Aug 6 17:50:18 server3 winbindd[31138]: could not find domain entry for
domain
AND
smbd[27004]: [2003/08/06 17:31:06, 0]
auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(994)
smbd[27004]: make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!
A few questions about them:
1. Are they critical errors?
2. What do these errors mean?
2. Can they be resolved?
In case you need it, here is a copy of my smb.conf
# Global parameters
