...to getenv(), but there are no such calls in-between. I suggest to modify this code as : line 1924 : char *p, *user; line 1968 : if ((user=getenv("USER")) { pstrcpy(username, user); /* modification to support userid%passwd syntax in the USER var 25.Aug.97, jdblair@uab.edu */ if ((p=strchr(username,'%'))) { *p = 0; pstrcpy(password,p+1); got_pass = True; memset(strchr(user,'%')+1,'X',strlen(password\)); } /* modification to support PASSWD environmental var...

I got back from school the other day and set up samba to avoid hearing questions from my father about "why can't I see your computer from my network neighborhood" etc etc and he wants to mount my mp3 files.. I also set up the standard homes share, but besides being able to connect to _his_ home directory, he is able to _any_ home directory! This is definitely not the behavior I am

I have Samba 1.9.17p2 and it works great on NT4.0 SP2 When I update to NT4.0SP3, my Samba connection gives me the following message: The account is not authorized to login from this station. Did something change? Maybe NT4.0 SP3 uses a smb.conf option that wasn't used before? I've installed the package version from the Solaris 2.5 web site. I'm actually running Solaris 2.5.1

Hi all, I have two samba machines running v1.9.18p4. When I try and list the shares on the second machine (calvin) fromn the first machine (hobbes) I get this: Session request failed (131,129) with myname=HOBBES destname=CALVIN Not listening for calling name Try to connect as another name (instead of HOBBES) You may find the -n option useful for this Any idea what this is trying to tell me?

Hi again, I realize this is generally not the place for this question but this is always where the answers are so here goes. We have a couple of win95 Pcs that regularly go nuts and arp foreach IP address on their subnet. The resulting broadcast storm is make even worse because of the inability of our net. admin. to 1) explain it 2) contain it 3) fix it (not too bright). I checked the registry

Hi all - I'll be the first to admit I don't know a lot about Windows networking, but I've managed to get samba (latest version) up and running and even have a cool netlogon script :) My config has shares for [homes] and [netlogon] and [foobar] (a test). When I look around in Network Neighborhood it lists homes, netlogon, foobar, and philip (my username). Is there some way to make

Does anyone have perl code that can generate the Samba passwd hashes from a clear text password? I'm aware of the smbpasswd command that comes with Samba but that isn't the best tool for my purposes. I have a local account creation/deletion software that already handles encypting the password to generate unix /etc/passwd files and I need to be able to do the same for the Samba passwd

Hi all, I am trying to find a setup for browsing across subnets, however the BROWSER.txt document doesn't cover this situation: I have a network in a star configuration with a Linux machine acting as a router in the middle. ---------------- | Linux Router | ----------------

Hi I've seen a couple of people post this problem, but I've never seen an answer, and now it's happenning to me. I run Solaris 2.5.1, and samba-1.9.17p1. Every so often a pc can look in the network neighborhood and the samba server just isn't there, though you can still map a network drive by using a UNC pathway: \\server\share so the share is still out there but the server

Hi, I need to upload data from a barcode scanner into a Progress database on UNIX. The barcode reader is attached to a PC. We have set it up in this way that the barcode reader creates a file in a directory shared by the PC and an HP box. A simple daemon on the HP scans the directory and triggers a program to upload the data whenever it finds a file in that directory. I was wondering if

When I try and load smbd I get this error in the log :- bind failed on port 139 socket_addr=0.0.0.0 (Address already in use) Closing connections 04/02/1998 14:02:01 Server exit (caught signal) I am using Slackware 3 with Linux kernel 2.0.33, and Samba-1.9.18p4. there is no problem with Netbios naming as I can see th Linux machine in Network Neighbourhood and my samba client seems to be

Hi all, I am still battling to get browsing across subnets to work. I just need some clarification on some issues. I understand the following things to be the case, please correct me if I am wrong: - Machines on a subnet will periodically announce their existance by broadcasting to everyone their identity - Other machines will hear these broadcasts, and add the machines to their browse lists. -

Hello, I am having a little problem with executing logon scripts on Win95 clients, logging into Samba Netlogon service. When a user logges in, a MS-DOS prompt shows up and quicky disappears. Then I get "Please Wait While your logon script executes". It hangs at that point. A user has to hit cancel to start his win95 session. I have done the logon script in MS-DOS editor. I have the
