...ough it does not affect the server in any way, I do find them to be an annoyance. I understand also that I can perform "veto" of files like *.exe in smb.conf but find that to be a wee bit restrictive. There are some users who stores valid executables in the shares. http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba-unofficial.html "To prevent access to suspicious files (e.g., those that tend to become infected by virus'), use the following. The last bit prevents access to files with a CLSID in the file extension. veto files = /*.exe/*.dll/*.pif/*.com/*.vbs/*.{*}/" Cheers,...

Hi I have read that Samba can emulate an NT Domain. Is this still possible? I dont see much about it listed anymore. Is it still supported in 2.2.8a. Does anyone have any information concerning this? We would like our version to do this so we can do some testing with one of our NetApp 880's. -- Thank you TJ _________________________________ Steven ?Todd? Johnson State of Alaska Dept.

is smb over ssh still valid? i eagerly tried it as specified in the unofficial samba howto <http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html>, but no go. net view responds "System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found." ssh (putty, with port 139 forwarded to localhost:139) did successfully connect from a win2k machine accross the internet to my redhat 7.2 (samba-2.2.1a-4) machine. the redhat b...

Happy New Year to everyone: I have followed the instructions at shorewall.net/samba.htm. I''ve restarted the samba server, shorewall, rebooted, everything. And from my network I cannot browse available shares on the firewall (192.168.1.1) telnet 192.168.1.1 138 fails with connection refused, which I don''t understand. All other open ports respond with a string. -- Philip

...mand. I'm trying to use syntax like mount -t smbfs -o username=myname,password=mypwd //192.168.0.1 /win/myshare But I always just get a print-out showing command usage, and then demonstrating the exact syntax that I am using. I got this from The Unofficial Samba HOWTO http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/index.html A few other sites have demonstrated the same syntax. Samba seems to have been correctly compiled for mounting. I'm assuming Samba is basically working, or else I couldn't connect via Konqueror. -- Rohan Parkes Melbourne Australia

Hey ppl ! My WinXP workstations are not able to join my domain. I tried to apply the registry fix for plain-text passwords but it has no effects :( My PDC seems to work fine cause i've got no problems with Win2K Workstations... Is there anything i've omitted ?

I have joined my win2k client machines (win2k professional or win2k professional server) to my PDC. This worked fine and I did all recommended as e.g. in the HOWTO http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-pdc.html#joining. So far I can also login localy to the win2k client machines using a local account and connect a network drive from the PDC using a valid account on the PDC (as given in the "smbpasswd" file) I have done all major steps: passwd file: added users and machi...

I currently have a setup of 1 NT 4.0 PDC server and to SUSE boxes sharing via a samba share. I seem to have to make 5 different usename/password databases. 1 for NT, 2 for each SuSe box (One Linux and one Samba). Is there a way to have 1 or maybe two databases to update? I've read about LDAP on other connections but I'm a little confused as to what is the best approach. Oh

I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find the FAQ document for this list. I also could not find anything relevant in other Samba documentation sources like http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html. There seems to be plenty of information about using Samba *as* a DC, but I want to know if I can use Samba *with* a Windows 2000 DC. We have two DCs running Windows 2000, a W2K file server and a Linux/Samba file server (in standalone mode). We have to manage users and groups separately...

Samba newbie, apologies if these are well-worn questions. My googling hasn't found an answer yet. Mandrake 9.0 Samba 2.2.6 Dled from http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-2.2.6.tar.gz Following instructions from http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html and http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html When getting to the ./configure part, I'm getting the below error.

Has anyone tried to wrap your SMB session inside another TCP protocol like SSH? I'm trying to sync files across two linux machines but my broadband provider is blocking SMB and port 139 traffic.

...it is hard to answer this question, it is very broad. There are great and wonderful documents to learn all about SAMBA and how to set it up. (Thank you to everyone that created those works of art.

Hi, when i try to join a winxp pro client to my samba domain i get an access denied error. Checking /etc/passwd and smbpasswd shows an new created mashine account, but the account is disabled and without a password. I'm using a debian 3.0 Linux with Samba 2.2.8a-1.0 and the following add user script: /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g workstations -s /bin/false -M %u Is there something

Hi, I am trying to set up a SAMBA-PDC for our school's network and find a strange Problem with two Win2k workstations. When I try to join the SAMBA domain I receive an error which says the user account - I am using root - is unknown. I call this "strange" because other Win2k machines on the very same subnet work correctly - and what is even stranger: I can manually access all

I have been asked to set up a Linux Samba file server as well as set up user-level access control for a medium sized real estate agency. Currently, the office is a on a single workgroup and there is only one UID for all users. The owner wants to set up individual accounts and server spaces for each agent. Until I can convince him that converting everyone to Linux workstations, I have to support

  I've been having problems mounting WinXP shares with Samba 2.2.7a & 2.2.8. I attribute this to WinXP using encrypted passwords, but I've set my smb.conf file with "encrypt passwords = yes" and despite a lot of searching, can't find any other option or flag that might help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dear Mr. Andrew Tridgell, I am new to samba. I understood that it allows you to share the files from Microsoft windows env. and UNIX environment. I need to install the software on my UNIX machine. Do I need the license? I downloaded the following file. samba-latest.tar.gz I copied to UNIX env. and gunzip and tar to extract all the files. Is this correct step? I will appreciate, if
