I have a quick question about rsync's writing of files. I have a team of people that all use the host BigServer, which is running rsync as a deamon, as a central place to keep all shared files backed up. The "master copy" for any given file is considered to be the local file that somebody has worked on -- i.e., BigServer is NOT considered the master copy. BigServer is the backup copy. Team mem...

...share my linux printer with my windows laptop. The printer is attached to box with redhat 7.2 and samba-2.2.1a-4. The laptop runs windows 98 and they are connected by a netgear RP114 router. I have been following DIAGNOSIS.txt. I had trouble with the test 2, "ping ACLIENT" and "ping BIGSERVER" until I added ACLIENT to /etc/hosts on BIGSERVER and added BIGSERVER to \windows\hosts on ACLIENT. Tests 3-6 were fine but I had to run smbpasswd -a <accountname> to get through test 7. I'm stuck on test 8, "net view \\BIGSERVER". When I try I get: C:\WINDOWS>ne...

We have some speed/performance issues: We have a 100M fullduplex private network setup to handle rsync transfers to our "mirror" server with a command like: time rsync -e ssh -avzl --delete --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync \ --exclude ".netscape/cache/" --delete-excluded \ bigserver:/staff1 /mirror/bigserver It takes about 20 minutes to check/transfer files from bigserver:/staff1 (Solaris 8) and the local machine (RH 7.2, Linux 2.4.2-2). bigserver/staff1 is 24G. Is that speed fast or slow? I think it's slow for a 100M fullduplex private network. It goes from a pr...

Hi All, I had a look in archives but no joy. I just want to know before i deploy - if there is any problem with having multiple rsync sessions from many source locations all to same destination server ( all copying to different file systems obviously ) ?? Its jusat that i see on the destination machine a process rsync -server being called whenever a client connects. Thanks ! Laurence

Dear Samba team: I just download SAMBA 2.0.7 from http://samba.gorski.net/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/ and I have already installed SAMBA 2.0.6 which come with my red head linux 6.2 CD. But the 2.0.7 SAMBA is conflict with SAMBA 2.0.6. and it will not allow me to install the latest version of SAMBA. It gives me error messages while I am trying to install samba2.0.7 "Conflicts

...'m trying to setup my samba server on my linux box, went through the installation and stuff, but ran into a whole world of problems when testing it out (samba2.2.8). As I'm reading through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file included in the docs, I got stuck on Test 7. when I run "smbclient //bigserver/tmp" I get prompted with a password. when I type in my root password (I'm doing all this in root) I get a message saying "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" .

Hi samba list members, Firstly, I've been using Samba for some while now and would to thank the Samba team for such a brilliant effort. I've got a Samba server running on a Linux box for a client (around 25-30 users) which has been running nearly 90 days now without any serious hitches at all. The client is incredibly impressed, over the moon, etc ... so it's probably time to pay up

...opies the other NT's to a Samba share then backup There is a NT utility WinAT that does the cron trick for NT although you can do the at commands at the command prompt The batch file is on my d: drive the command for at is back.cmd The commands in back.cmd are as follows: robocopy \\server1\ \\bigserver\aback /mir robocopy \\server2\ \\bigserver\bback /mir XD queues Only trick was to create a backup user for each NT machine Perhaps the easiest way to check this is to install robocopy.exe from the NT Workstation / NT Server / Windows 2000 resource kit (if you don't have it, it really is wor...

...h it runs from Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 2.6. Our NT servers are no longer able to connect the the file services offered from that box, or at best, only intermittently. I began going through the "Diagnosing Samba" document (the one on the web page). When I got to step 4, "nmblookup -B BIGSERVER __SAMBA__" (and yes, I subtituted the actual name of the Solaris server for BIGSERVER <grin>), I received the message "name_query failed to find name __SAMBA__" as the last message in the response.

I'm new to Samba software. I just installed Samba on my Sun Sparcstation 20 running Solaris 2.5. I read the DIAGNOSIS.txt file, but in this case, it didn't helped me. When I tried to login in from the PC to the unix machine by typing "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP", it prompted me for the password, so I typed in the unix password (I guess?), but an error message returned - "The account is not authorized to login from this station." Any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate??? Thanks, Bunty Vue Unix System Admin Trimble Navigation Su...

...hbsrv{root}# We've tried removing and adding the server name to our PDC...and removing the secrets & machineSID file from /private directory. When we try to join again, we get the same msg. I've been through the whole /docs/DIAGNOSIS.txt and the only test that fails is #8 (net view \\BIGSERVER) and I'm presuming that's because the join hasn't worked correctly. Can anyone help me out? I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks. Darin DeCounter Atex Assistant System Administrator Las Vegas Review-Journal 702-387-5230 ddecounter@lvrj.com
