...that but the service to that server still doesn't work. Also, there was a reghack that I found for Win2k that added a longer timeout value to connect to this resource. That didn't help either. Any other ideas or thoughts are greatly appreciated!

I have a Samba server running on an AIX 4.4.3 RS6000 that has been serving up files without problem. Recently, a pair of machines, both Windows 2000 Pro, haven't been able to gain access to any of the Samba resources on the AIX server though they were both able to previously. Other WinNT and Win2k machines can get to these shared resources fine, just not these two. I haven't found anything

...ble to save, however, but then they ask me what the message means, and I weep and tear out my hair. Seriously though, no big deal, but kind of annoying. Happens to two out of 100 users.

Hi. Our department at the university has been using samba since at least 1996. We love it. Is there another conference scheduled for this year? Know where it will be? How did the last one go? --- Sam Barasch Computer Systems Support Department of Biostatistics University of Wisconsin Madison

Can someone please tell me if it is possible to add a group on a linux PDC running Samba 2.2.4 to a windows 2000 clients local "Power Users Group" or any of the local windows 2k groups. I want certain people to be in the Power Users Group on 2K, but I don't want to have to add each domain user individually to that local win2k group, I want to add a domain group to the win2k group.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable roaming profiles, for a particular user, from the server side? I thought of trying to blank the server profile string in their account attributes, but of course that says 'use the default' which will be to do whatever smb.conf says. Will setting it to something nonsensical, like a space, make it think to not have one? I'd rather do

I'm attempting to join a Samba 3.0.4 domain on a Debian linux box, with a Windows XP client. Problems 1) Can only get the join to work if I use the root account. On Win2k I can use any account in the Domain Admins group. 2) The join succeeds, the unix account and the smb account are created but the smb account is disabled, and the password contains all XXXXs. Joining the domain works

We are running samba 2.2.3a ( for about 3000 users ) on HP/UX 11.11 fileservers. Our customers are complaining about slow response on the opening/closing of files in office/excel etc. In the samba log file we see the following messages : [2002/10/29 09:03:27, 0] ../source/smbd/oplock.c:(761) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file My
