I've got a working samba setup on a debian linux server. Existing windows boxes are win98 with unencripted passwords. They only need to see the exported directories on the samba server. All the networking is working. (dns, dhcp, ping, internet access, etc ) Anything I do on my new XP Pro box or in samba.conf gives the error message:- The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.please

...o I need to do and provide to get the proper information to anyone on the list so perhaps a resolution can be done? I am unsure of what and how things need to be done to "debug" this.

...... but I'd like to know if anyone else has seen anything like this, have you resoled it. Or is this a NEW one? It has only started happening since we added the WindowsXP machines and only happens to them. Hope this is clear enough. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Dear David, Never was a man so badly meant to wear corrective glasses. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Hi ! Today i deleted more then 60(!) spam-messages on this list I think it would be a good idea, to limit the possible senders of this list to the addresses which are subscribed.

I'd like to thank the Samba team for making our switch off of Active Directory amazingly smooth. We're a small company, only 30 desktops, but things went great for us. Actually, nobody even notices the Windows DC is even gone! The Exchange migration that went along with this wasn't as hassle free though. =( It's really refreshing to be able to SSH into our file server and see

I did some testing using samba-3.0.0 as a server and two identical clients one Running W2K and other running Win XP pro. If I write a big file using the W2K client, I'm getting about 25 Mbytes/sec but if I run the same testing using the Win XP Pro, this client only is able to get 12.5 Mbytes/sec. There is a problem between XP and samba?

Is it necessary? I am also confused as to what it does. If I disable it in the smb.conf file, I can not say I see any difference. I am running 6 XP pro clients, MDK 9.2 as the file server.

I'm creating roaming profiles for the Win98 boxes in our network. Is there any way to map the "My Documents" folder to a share in the Samba server? -- "Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever come to birth.

hello, I've got a strange problem after an upgrade to samba 3. The existing profils are now unavailable for users, depending on their local rights. If the user is locally admin, his profil is succesfully loaded on login. Else there's no error, but the profil isn't loaded. The samba logs don't show anything special, but i can send them if someone want it. If I create new users,

About two months ago Samba (PDC) started rejecting users when login in Windows 98 or XP (that's what we've got). The strangest thing is that there is no rule when the server rejects username, so sometimes it allows login and sometimes doesn't. Users say that the system let them in if they empty all three fileds (username, password, domain) and retype them when login in Windows 98. I

Hello, I upgraded samba to 3.0.5 (debian sid) in the hope of getting windows password change to work, but had no success. The password is changed (fortunately), but the computer still displays a message saying the old password is incorrect. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks L.CARON

Is there a way in samba to create files greater then 2GB in size? I'm tarring some stuff to a samba share (from one linux server to another, share mounted using smbmount) and I get an error "File size limit exceeded" and the size of the file is 2147483647 bytes. Is there anyway to create files larger then 2GB on a samba mounted share? If so, how?

When a user is not using a samba share, after a while they become "inactive". When a user wants to access the share again, it takes an irritating long time before they get access again. The (windows) application that does the accessing is not responding during that time. There are no drive letters assigned to the shares in a logon script. When I do assign a drive letter to the share (in

If anyone has had problems with winbindd not being able to locate any domain controllers after upgrading to 3.0.11 *and* you have 'disable netbios = yes' in smb.conf, please test this preliminary patch (winbind_find_dc.patch). It's pretty rough currently but needs some more widespread testing. You can download it from :

I'm attempting to join a Samba 3.0.4 domain on a Debian linux box, with a Windows XP client. Problems 1) Can only get the join to work if I use the root account. On Win2k I can use any account in the Domain Admins group. 2) The join succeeds, the unix account and the smb account are created but the smb account is disabled, and the password contains all XXXXs. Joining the domain works
