Is it possible to create an executable in unix, place it on a samba share, and run it from NT. i ran a little test putting "ls" in my samba share and tried double clicking it to see if it would run. my main goal is to create a batch file from NT that calls a script located on a unix box shared by samba thanks SBLI

Hello. I have a problem with samba-2.2.5 and Win2000. I try to copy a file onto my home share and the explorer takes a long time to copy the file. After a while (ca. 30 seconds) there comes an error-box: path is to long (Der Pfad ist zu lang.) The error just gives me an OK-button. The files is correctly transmitted. I checked it, but if takes a very long time and there comes the error-message.

I tried migrating our samba settings from one machine to another, but Windows sees it as a different server. I currently have an older version of samba setup on an old machine. I setup the latest version of samba on a different machine with different build specs (e.g. acl support, etc.). I migrated over the usernames/passwords and MACHINE.SID file (is this even used anymore?) and setup smb.conf

Hello there, I have a serious file locking problem with samba on a RH6 based Linux machine. >From the exported share a database files are being requested. Problem is, only one client can access these - and even only one client can initialize the database query engine, which is btrieve 6.15 workstation engine. The same problem affects .doc files. If one client has an open document, the file is

I would like to know if anybody on this list has managed to have a network of 98 clients running off a samba server, and had roaming profiles, i.e. people's settings follow them from machine to machine. I have done everything I find in the guides, and I have no idea why the machines create new local profiles. I've searched the net for documentation, example websites, etc, but it seems the

Thankyou for taking the time to read this ... We have large PC userbase and a not-so-large (but equally loud) Unix user base. We have a requirement to "PopUp" information windows on ALL our user's screens with an absolute minimum of manual intervention (ie type the message once and then forget it). We can manage the Unix X servers but can't seem to find a UNIX application that

Hello! I have a problem: I work in a company which is strictly windows-only, and I really need to replace a windows-xp machine - which is a member of the company's domain - with a linux machine (using samba). This new linux machine will have to upload backups of its data to a share within the domain. Thus, it needs to be a member of the domain (correct?). Obviously, I need to join the

I'm encountering problems copying files from a Windows NT workstation to a Linux system. Not all of the files are being copied. A week ago I submitted a bug report. The only response was an automated reply acknowledging that the message was received. I'm assuming that they are very busy and have not had time to go through all of the incoming e-mail. Maybe someone here could help, or

Hello: I've successfully build and upgraded to 2.2.0 here but I'm rapidly puling out my hair (or what's left of it after alpha3) on getting W2K working with LInux as a PDC.
