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

I want to 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

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

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

I have been unable to get my Samba shares on RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.3a to be visible from my Windows 2000 SP1 server. From the DIAGNOSIS.txt tests (results below) I think that nmbd is not working properly, but it stops and starts fine, and a ps -A shows 1 X smbd and 2X(?)nmbd processes running, I have tried the suggestions there without luck and am not sure where to go next. I'd appreciate

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

I first asked this question at the end of October, got a response which didn't solve the problem, and have finally got back to the issue now. I'm running 2.2.7a, recently upgraded from 2.2.0 as Domain Logons for Win2K were suspected to be part of my problem. Anyway, the issue relates to AutoCAD (actually a vertical product called Land3) and a command which works with winXX boxes, but

I'm trying to troubleshoot a new samba setup on a tiny network, and I'm clearly missing something. I'm running Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu Linux. When I first set it up, it seemed to go so smoothly. I changed all the workstations to the same workgroup (RABNETWORK) and they could see each other and the server, but they couldn't open anything on the server. I don't really understand

Hello fellow samba users, I'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

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

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old

Hello, When I run the 'smbclient -L apollo' command at the UNIX prompt a I get an error. I have gone as far as I can in this DIAGNOSIS.txt file. Does anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing my problem ? I have made my comments to the DIAGNOSIS.txt file via '---- davidw {comment}' so you can see what I've done to date. Also, I thought I'd pass on the output

Greetings, O Mighty SAMBA masters. A problem cropped up with our SAMBA implementation, which began when we upgraded the Sun Ultra 3000 on which 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

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 -
