Hello, I've been using Samba on a Sun server but we recently discontinued using the Sun and switched to using Samba on a RH linux server. I can't get file sharing to work on the new server. When I test the connection to the samba server (velar) by running smbclient //velar/homes -U eric I get an error message referring to NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. I can't find any reason for this

Hello, We are using R 1.4.1 on Solaris 8. The director of our lab says that it should be possible, when using R interactively, to repeat your previous command by pressing the up-arrow key (similar to the command history feature in the tc shell). I have not been able to find any mention of this command history feature in any of the R documentation, but the lab director is adamant that this

Hello everyone, I downloaded the latest Linux version of R and tried installing it, but during the installation process I found that this version of R requires tcl 8.3 and tk 8.3. The problem is that I've been unable to find Linux versions of tcl 8.3 and tk 8.3. The only Linux versions of tcl/tk I've been able to find are 8.4. Has anybody been successful in getting R to install on

Hello everyone, Thanks to the people who so kindly responded to my earlier query about how to get R to retrieve my previous command when I hit the up-arrow key. Several people pointed out to me that in order to enable this feature I need to re-install R with the GNU readline library. My question now is: how do I accomplish this? Can anyone tell me what changes I need to make to the

Hello, I'm having a problem trying to upgrade from R 1.6.0 to 1.7.0 on our Suns. We're running Solaris 8 and we're using gcc 3.2.3. The problem is that I get a bunch of error messages about a missing subroutine Rdconv::fill during the "make" of 1.7.0, although I didn't have this missing subroutine problem back when I installed 1.6.0. Can anyone suggest how I can

Hi friends, Please disregard my previous plea for help. I finally found the tcl/tk packages I needed in order to get the Linux version of R to install. The tcl/tk packages can be found at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcl/. Eric

Hello, I'm in the process of trying to upgrade our R software from version 2.2.3 to 2.3.0 on our Sun workstations. In the installation process I'm encountering some puzzling errors whe I do the 'make install.' After installing the doc files successfully the installation process crashes while trying to install the etc files, with the following messages: make[1]: Leaving

Hello, I said earlier that out big Samba problem appeared to be completely resolved after I finally made sure to get a clean install of Samba 3 and ensured that the daemons were being started up properly. However, that was before I checked on our win2K clients! We have an odd little problem here, in that all of our WinXP clients can connect to any of our Samba shares without any problem,

Hello, I have a minor problem wherein Samba is creating roaming profiles for users who logon to our lab's domain. I don't want roaming profiles. Since I'm not using the "logon path" command in my smb.conf, and I don't have a [profile] share in my smb.conf either, I cant' figure out why Samba keeps wanting to create roaming profiles. Anyone have any ideas about

Hello, For a long time I've been running Samba 3.5.10 as a domain controller on RH Enterprise 5, with Windows 7 clients. Everything has worked fine. But since I recently upgraded to Samba 3.6.4, I have a persistent problem with users not being able to login to the client machines successfully because they get the "Trust relationship has failed" message. I can join the client

My apologies, I'm terribly sorry to belabor these PDC issues to the point where everyone is undoubtedly tired of hearing about them, but I have become absolutely obsessed with trying to solve this PDC problem. Here is what is happening now. I'm trying to connect to the Samba server which is set up as the PDC (domain PLAB) from windows client "venus". Windows prompts me to

Hello, I'd like to see if I can get some clarification on what is the preferred method of starting the Samba daemons (note that we are using Solaris, not Linux). This is something that I'm not able to find any explanation of in any of the Samba 3 documentation that I've looked at so far. In Samba 2 I would have the Samba daemons started up by the following in my /etc/inetd.conf:

Hello, Concerning my problem with not being able to connect to our domain with our Samba clients, there is a further piece of evidence in my samba.log, and I'm hoping that someone who is more experienced in dealing with WINS and domains can clarify the nature of these messages from the log: sync_with_dmb: Initiating sync with domain master browser PLEIADES<20> at IP

Hello, Sorry to be a pest, but I need to try to get some clarification of how the machine name works when setting up a machine account on the Samba server. The Samba How-To page http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html#id2536400 talks about the "common error" of including the $ in the machine name on the server machine. However, all of the

Hello everyone, Once again I'm trying to set up our Samba server to operate as a PDC, now that I've verified that I have a clean install of the Samba 3 software. However there are some difficulties with this. On my client machine when I try to set the domain name in the system control panel, I get an error message saying that the domain could not be contacted. I've set up my

I'm still trying to set up our Samba server as a PDC. I tried to do this yesterday and couldn't get my clients to recognize the server as a domain controller. Someone on this list suggested that I upgrade my Samba from version 2 to 3. I've done that, and things seem to be a little better than they were yesterday. Now when I go to my Windows client machine and try to set it up

Hello, My boss claims that it is possible to set up a PC as a Samba client in such a way that every Windows user who logs in to that PC will automatically be connected to a certain designated Samba share, without the user himself having to map the network drive to the Samba share. That is, the boss claims that I, as the administrator of the PC, have the power to set up some kind of global

Samba colleagues, I promise to limit my postings to this list to one message per day from now on, and to keep my messages focussed on very specific technical issues. I think I have gotten over my initial panic at the weirdly broken Samba installation and am now in a troubleshooting mode. The drama of all my Samba 3 difficulties now seems to be due to a faulty Samba installation. Symptoms
