In a discussion with one of the main answer people, of whose time I am greatly appreciative, it was suggested that some of my problem (or solution) may be to run Samba on a distro that's better suited for it. Problem is, I don't have the time nor the inclination to download a bunch of distros just to install, test, fdisk, repeat. So I ask. what is a recommended recent distro that works

When I attempted to "rpm -i samba3-3.0.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm" this morning on my Mandrake 9.2 box, I got an unusual message that doesn't make sense. It said, over and over (thirteen times total): WARNING: user bgmilne does not exist - using root When it went back to root prompt, I did an "updatedb", but nothing for "samba-3" is found when I did the urpmi request.

Two issues, and I'll discuss them both: I created on my NT4 domain a group called "branch99". They're a "local group" as far as NT is concerned, and it has two members; myself, and another fellow down the hall. My end quest is to create a share on a Mandrake 9.2 box running Samba 2.2.8, and have it permit or deny file access based on NT's typical discretions.

Good day! I am running Samba3 on a Mandrake 9.1 box. Right now, I have "security = user", but am not using any password authentication yet. I have 95 and 98 computers that can reach the shares available and print to the installed printer, and even a Windows 2000 user can do all of this. However, an XP computer I have can't go there. I double-click "DRAKEJAX" (the

Some of you have already read about my newbie fortune with this Samba3 install. Thanks to those who answered my original questions. Now I have something which I know is probably academic, and perhaps still newbie-related. When I installed Samba3 on Friday, it took me a little while to figure out that my names required adding a 3 to the end (SWAT3, SAMBA3, TESTPARM3, et al). I did not uninstall

...one of those clunky things like when I have to re-add nets to the routing table after restart? I need to know this if I go production with this box. Help is appreciated. Oh, and someone here said your replies were going to me instead of the list, and I should have that corrected. Thanks!

I'm just dying to know what the origin of these messages with the txt attachments is. I get quite a few here, and even some in other mailing lists. But they're all unique; the attachment filename starts with ATT (followed by four or five digits), and are 192 bytes long. The senders are often different. Anyone got a bead on this? Eric

Not to be the annoying child, but I have found myself uniquely annoyed that I can't update RPMs that include Samba 3, and I'm not certain if that's because it's even ready for Mandrake 9.2. Does anyone have a bead on this? Should I just go back to 2.2.8 and wait for the stable, or can someone point out a URL that has a stable 3.0 on it? Thanks Eric

Hello! I have a Mandrake 9.1 box running Samba 2.2.7 (not ready to upgrade yet). Using both Swat and vim-ing the smb.conf file (and restarting after every change, just to see), I've finally gotten back to where I was yesterday, which is for my XP computer to be able to see the Mandrake box. Problem is, I have to type in the IP address of the box. For whatever reason, it doesn't show up

Specifically, the instructions on the Samba3 doc file explain that I must edit the following information (as did John): Make an entry in /etc/services for a line called "swat". I've done that, it's called "swat3", and it ports to 902/TCP (Yes, I realize it's not the native port.) Make the adjustment in the /etc/xinet[d].d/swat3 file to point to the same port.

I have been kind of fortunate in adjusting my SWAT information, and now can reach the SWAT3 interface through port 902 (thanks!), but now I have an even more interesting snag. Konqueror and Mozilla, when going to localhost:902 (what I set SWAT3 to respond to), will prompt a login box. The site is called "SWAT at localhost". I put in the root username, and the root password. It then
