...re there is no link from there to /etc/init.d/smb. I put such a link in at some point in the past (after the LAST reboot, as I remember), and it has now vanished. This is silly, but I just can't figure out the right way to deal with this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Michael Kohne mhkohne@discordia.org "Evolution is God's version of domino rally"

Doesn't Samba log login failures? I'd like them logged, preferrably (at least to start with) with the tried id/password-pair. Do I have to get my hands dirty with the source or has someone done this before me? Thanks // Jonas

...d out that smbpasswd, at least when using the -a option, won't access the file anywhere other than /etc (which is what it was compiled with). Is there a good reason for this? Or is it a bug? Or have I just done something boneheaded that made it fail? Any input is appreciated. Michael Kohne mhkohne@discordia.org "Evolution is God's version of domino rally"

...is any good way for you to figure out what the key name might be on your own - microsoft would have to give out that information. I'm curious as to why you want to change the port. If you can tell us, I'm sure we'd all like to know. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Michael Kohne mhkohne@discordia.org "Evolution is God's version of domino rally"

...nyone know what the differences are between NT and 95 print drivers as far as the server is concerned? I can build an appropriate printer defs file by hand, if someone can tell me what it is that will tell the NT box that the server has a driver for it, I'd love to know. Thanks.

I was having a discussion with a MS person about the performance of NT. I got this reply: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- By the way, I looked into that claim that Linux could outperform NT server, and my source claimed that the test was done on different hardware (i.e. it was rigged) and that Linux still loses to NT on equivalent HW, although "it has gotten closer." Do you

In my high school computer lab I have Red HAt 5.0 with SAMBA being used as a file server. The kids are getting used to it. But recently I'm seeing something strange. A student with id "james" will log on Windows 95, go to network neighborhood and to the Linux computer and find there among other normal items two folders. The first will be his own folder with his id, but the second

...games I play. My next step will be to play with trying to reduce the number of files I'm passing to rsync, and if that doesn't work, I'll try writing some code to play with stdin/out until I can get a failure in a smaller environment.

I'm having a problem getting W95 and WNT to correctly read file names on a samba server I set up. The server passed all of the diagnostics, and file names show up correctly in a dos window. However, under windows explorer, anything after a . doesn't show up in the name. This is only true for a . in the middle of the name, "hidden" files such as .fvwmrc show up. WE does

Is there a way to prevent browselists from machines other than those of my choosing to show up in the browselists/network neighbourhood? I don't want win95 clients that offer shares themselves to show up in the network neighbourhood. Michel. -- Michel van der Laan - michel@nijenrode.nl http://www.nijenrode.nl/~michel

I have been using Samba 1.9.18p8 in a Solaris 2.6 machine for months but suddenly this week there is a problem. Nothing's changed. I have some persistent connection of my NTSP3 client to the samba share. When I login as usual, it fails to mount the drive. It either prompt for password but whatever password the samba rejects, or give a "Access is Denied" when you try to access the
