I am less than familiar with Microsoft, so I guess it might be an FAQ... if I click on "network neighborhood" which reveals a Samba server, it shows a list of all shares. If I click on a share, I get a message "cannot find share name". Somehow this does not sound logical to me... what is wrong?

I am setting up a Win98 client to work with my samba server. I can log in on the domain allright, but then I would expect to get access to my home directory by issuing (in a DOS box): NET USE H: /HOME For some reason I am told that the syntax is not correct. On the other hand net use /? gives exactly this as one of the options. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? -- J.J. Gerritse

Even if I can find back a share, (which I sometimes can, for no clear reason) then the next message I get is "no access". I suspect this may be a Linux config thing, but I am still unable to figure what ownership rights I should give to the shares: root:root or someuser:users or samba:samba (this user:group does not exist as yet). What is meant by no access: is it a Windows or a

Hello, * When I am running a backup bash file under cron, I get lots of messages like the following: rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "/mnt/tmp/backup/museum/documenten/secretariaat/vrijwilligers/medewerkersboek en poster/losse foto's medewerkers/oude foto's medewerkers die we willen bewaren/wienk, ari\#303\#253l .jpg": Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide

Hi, I am backing up about 500G of data from a linux-based NAS to a USB hard drive attached to a router (rt-n16 with tomatousb firmware). Both NAS and the router have rsync-3.0.9. The router is running rsync in the daemon mode. To test the set up, I rsync'd the files to the empty USB hard drive, then back to the NAS in a new temp dir. Afterwards, I did a local "diff -r" on the NAS.

Well, I read quite a few documents; thanks for pointing them out... And I got "it" working... The most important point I learned is P_a_t_i_e_n_c_e! You really have to wait a few minutes after having modified your smb.conf and restarted samba. And you have plenty of time to reboot your client, I am not sure whether you really need this, but anyway... it really takes quite some

The subject says it all, I think. At home I have a PDC (Linux with Samba), and I have Win98 and Win 95(!) clients. And sometimes the domain name (workgroup name) is visble in the Network neigborhood, and sometimes it is not. I also got the impression that placing a link in the file NETHOOD makes a difference, but I am not sure yet. The PDC is visible, that is, it can be PINGed, I can connect

Hello, * After some good advice from the list, I now have my workgroup visible. Next problem. I click on it from my win98 station (yes, it is old; I even have a w95 workstation somewhere :-) ) and I get "can't find share name". Now I look in the samba logs, and I see that it is looking for /usr/local/samba/netlogon, which doesn't exist. Oops, error! The netlogon happens to

I have posted more messages, essentially to the same effect... had quite a few good answers, but somehow I seem to be missing something ... :-( Well, I told you already about the workgroup DAARO, which refused to show up... I got some suggestions, and, indeed, there it was! I could even log in to it. And then, next morning, I started up my test network, ... no DAARO. However, after a restart

Hello, * Here is my current smb.conf . I didn't want to send it immediately (in some groups that is not done) and I have omitted some dozens of shares at the end, which are similar to the ones present. -------------- next part -------------- [global] workgroup = LIEMERS-MUSEUM netbios name = HPserver server string = HP server (Samba %v) # printing = cups # printcap name = cups #

I have sent a few messages already, but perhaps I should start from the other side, and give a clear indication of what I want to achieve. Well, here goes... I am working for a volunteer organization. They have quite a few Windows workstations, most W98, and a few XPs (and, currently, one Vista). There is one Linux server, running Samba, and holding all shares. It also acts as the PDC, and

Hello, * I am setting up a backup on a Linux system with Windows XP workstations. The backup goes to three alternating usb drives, each of which is NTFS formatted. The disks should be virtually identical but they do not seem to be. First, my mount command is this (I edited a bit for brevity) mount -t ntfs-3g -o locale=nl_NL.iso-8859-1,silent /dev/disk/by-id/usb-DiskA \ /mnt/tmp || mount -t
