I have a SAMBA Server utilizing an LDAP backend for user authentication and it works great unless I use ClearCase. When ClearCase is used the compilation time for our code is slowed down to a crawl and the ClearCase application is rendered nearly useless. As a test fix my boss wants me to create a second SAMBA server to be used for only the ClearCase server. I don't know if this will work, but I may be a...

We're trying to use samba to let our PC's mount view extended pathnames used by clearcase but they show up as empty. If anyone's used samba and Clear Case (by Pure Atria) and gotten it to work I'd love to hear how. thanks, Bill -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

This falls under the 'getting clearcase to work with samba' category. Does anybody know if the clearcase albd server actually uses samba to access files (or anything else) on the unix side? I am having 'discussions' with rational (the clearcase people). The nt user running clearcase to access some unix-side views connects...

Andrew, Thank you for your suggestions. The real problem is Rational Technical support. When you pay someone 100k+ they tend to look for any excuse to deem you "unsupported". If you don't have your default group set to the clearcase user group, then technical support will decide that thats where your problem is! I am sure you know how that goes... I have solved problems like this in the past with the group sticky bit. I agree this is the "correct" way to do this. The only trouble with ClearCase is they use a...

Is there anyone out there successfully using Rational Clearcase with SAMBA? Was there any special changes you had to make to get it to work? We were told by Rational specifically not to use SAMBA and wanted to get the other side.

FYI:, I'm fairly new to samba (a couple of months now), and have experimented - unsuccessfully - with getting it to work with clearcase. Does anyone have a how-to, or a list of gotcha's for setting up clearcase with samba? Thanks in advance for any information you can send me. Ozzie,

Hi all -- I recently temporarily deployed an upgraded Clearcase server (7.1.2.3) on 64 bit RHEL 5.6. With it I was using Redhat's release of Samba for that version of the OS -- 3.0.33. The system has 32 GB of memory and within 12 hours, it would be down into swap. Maximum active licenses used is 36 but a more typical load is 18-25 users having a Clearc...

We are having some problems in our company's test group that did not exist when our Clearcase 2003.06 server existed on a Solaris 8 machine. Now we are running on RHEL 5.2 with Clearcase 7.0.1.3 with Samba 3.0.28 (despite the fact that IBM has only blessed up to 3.0.24) and running into some file locking issues with some scripts our test group runs. I am hoping that someone might have som...

One of the benefits of living in Silicon Valley is the SVLUG Linux users group. You meet the most interesting people there :-). I met someone from Rational software who has the ability to contact the product manager for Clearcase. I told him about the number of Clearcase customers who would like Rational to support Clearcase running against a Samba fileserver (as they've asked the Samba Team many times over the years if we can make this work :-). He proposed that I send him a list of such customers and he will try and...

I'm hoping this turns into another case of 'knowing it works makes it happen.' I am involved with a unix clearcase installation which now needs to work with nt. We have clearcase 3.2.1 running on both the unix and nt side. Because we have checkin/checkout triggers hooked to some unix-side stuff, we need the unix views to be accessible from nt. Does anyone have direct experience (success or failure) using sam...

Hello Samba, We tried to use samba-2.2.4-1 with Rational ClearCase and had a problem using WinBind. ClearCase requires the primary group id to be set to the clearcase users group. WinBind sets the primary group to something like DOMAIN_GROUP_RID_USERS. I am including the patch we made to samba-2.2.4 to get things working. I have added two new smb.conf options:...

Gerald, No worries. This patch is required if your using Rational ClearCase and you don't want everyone to have access to it. It's to fix a brokenness (IMO) within ClearCase, and maybe other programs. Our windows primary group has 10k+ users... I will shoot it off to Rational, so they can provide it to there customers. I was hoping it could be applied to the mai...

Hi - I'm getting timouts trying to access us1.samba.org or I'd look through the archives first. Anyone currently supporting any versions of Rational's ClearCase/samba/UNIX/NT? We are currently running samba v2.0.3 on both HP-UX 11.0 (vob server) and Solaris 2.5.1 (view server). Rational ClearCase v3.2.1 on the two UNIX and NT Workstation 4 (some SP3, some SP4) We currently support UNIX/NT interopration via both Hummingbird's and Netmanage's PC-N...

Hi Can somebody help me concerning this problm with samba. I am using samba 2.0.7 to link clearcase DB files on server UNIX with NT clearcase clients. We have upgraded clients from winNT4.0 to win2000 . Now we have many trouble like : PC stuck performance very slow file not found ( it exists!) etc... I saw in the samba log file of users the message as follow: cbc0794634 (137.x.x.x) connect to se...

Hi, Due to a security reason, I can't set up mutual trust domains, however need to use SAMBA for multiple MS NT domains access Unix ClearCase. Please help..... 1. Can SANMA be configured to work with two domain controller (Active directory) password servers? Or just one PDC per SAMBA? 2. Can one ClearCase server authenticate users through two SANMA processes which are configured with different PDC per processes? Thank you very much....

FYI: I'm using samba 2.0.6 for clearcase interoperation between Unix and NT, and while it works great 99% of the time, I run into a problem whenever I do a complete build on an NT system, which involves compiling ~1500 files. The first 1100 or so are compiled correctly, but then the following errors show up on the NT box: The system...

Is it possible to emulate a unionfs with zfs and zones somehow? My zones are sparse zones and I want to make part of /usr writable within a zone. (/usr/perl5/mumble to be exact) I can''t just mount a writable directory on top of /usr/perl5 because then it hides all the stuff in the global zone. I could repopulate it in the local zone but ugh that is unattractive. I''m hoping

Hello, We are using Samba to connect our ClearCase server to the Windows environment. Our original configuration was one server hosting all our VOBs and Views. We have Samba configured to allow mapping of shares to our ClearCase Windows Clients. Everything was working fine. Now we have set up a second server to host all our Views separate from the...

Hi all, Just a novice in this world of Samba. I got a question, probably too simple. No problem to access share file systems and mount ClearCase vobs. Log shows access granted to NT userid belonging to the right UNIX group. Then, editing a file ( using a view thru Explorer), log shows another non authenticate user called clearcase_albd trying to be validated. I guess due to that, mvfs errors pop up Any idea?
