Hi all, I have a Samba box (Mandrake 8.1, Samba 2.2.2). I have another hard disc that has Mandrake 9.0 + Samba 2.2.7 on it. I am looking to install this other hard disc into the Mandrake 8.1 box and migrate everything over. Do I need to do anything other than copy the contents of /etc/samba (smb.conf, secrets.tdb etc) over to the new hard disc to ensure that our Windows 2000 Pro workstations

Hi all! I have a situtation that I want to get happening: We have just installed a colour photocopier with duplexing at a client's office. We're looking to have four printers pointing at this one device, with the following settings (one for each printer): * Black and White * Black and White, Duplexed * Colour * Colour Duplexed My question is, can we have server-side settings for

Hi all! Here is an interesting problem: I have installed Mandrake 9.0 on two server boxes, both of which are running very happily and have been for a year now (and a year or two before that on earlier versions of Mandrake). I was able to successfully add printer drivers to one of these boxes (as it was the only one running Samba at the time, called MAIN) without any problems. Yesterday, I

I'm trying to connect to swat but can't. Just installed Samba 2.2.2-5 and edited /etc/services, even though I'm running Redhat 7.3 and use xinetd. /etc/xinetd/swat exists.... but I still cannot connect to http://localhost:901. Why??? Thanks for assist.

Hi all, One of my clients loves ACT for some reason unknown to both them and myself. They want multiple people to be able to access the thing at the same time. Here's the problem - every now and then the people using it give me reports of the clients crashing. Reindexing the "database" if you can call it that, solves the problem. Is there some sort of behaviour that the users

Hi all, I was doing some reading of the digests I get sent and noticed someone asked the question (by way of trying to get more info about a problem someone else was having), "Are profiles stored in home directories?" I have this type of setup in place at a client's premises and we do have problems with people logging on - profiles do not download without error messages on the

Hi all, I'm running Samba 2.2.5 (I think. I just downloaded the package from the Samba site) and I have a question. Everything is working ok but the clients report that the total space on the share is about 8GB, even though the share is a single filesystem that fills a 40GB hard disc. Is this a Samba specific thing that I should worry about or is it indicitive of me having some sort of

Hi all, I have a Samba 2.2.2 controlled domain (server config: Mandrake 8.1 with ReiserFS 3.6.25) and have a bit of a problem with profiles. Basically, there is this one user that has problems when she logs onto her workstation for the first time each day. The actual filename differs, but often an error message will be presented during the logon mentioning that a file could not be downloaded

Hi all, I have setup Samba 2.2.3a on Mandrake 8.2 and have domain logons for my Windows 2000 Pro box working perfectly (although I've had to move the profile path to inside each user's home directory to avoid "Access is Denied" errors during logon - suggestions welcome!). Whenever I try to join with one of my XP boxen though, the domain joining stage works up until it comes

Hi all! I'm looking for a method of doing the following, given that I'm taking care of a network with a Samba 3.0.6 box (running Mandrake 10.0) acting as a PDC for about 15 W2K boxes: . There is a share full of program files and data files on the Samba box . These files are currently synchronized at logon - all movement is from the server to the clients via a logon script using XCOPY /D
