In samba3-3.3.9-40.el4 and samba3-3.4.7-42.el5 there are 3 .tdb files /var/lib/samba/locking.tdb /var/lib/samba/wins.tdb /var/lib/samba/mutex.tdb which are not documented in http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html# tdbdocs. Are they persistent or temporary? Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"

Hi Moray, ? Thanks for your answer. It could help but only partially. ? The script name logon%u.cmd was a bad example. Actually, a user can log on from WinXP , or Win 7 workstations, and I'like to run different logon scripts depending on the OS . So having logon script = logon%a.cmd in the smb.conf ge...

Hi there, I'm wondering if there any patch or recent developement that would allow to include a directory rather than a file in smb.conf Something like includedir = /etc/samba/shares.d/ instead of include = /etc/samba/shares.conf Thanks for your help Santiago ------------------------- *Santiago DIEZ* *Director* *+33 6 37 90 81 98* -------------------------

Hi Volker, It would be useful if your 3.3.9 build (currently in recent) included the /var/spool/samba directory - it just took me a while to figure out why Samba printing wasn't working on a new EL5 server ;-) Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"

I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask about this, but one of my users is having a problem with her files,specifically excel files which she is editing with openoffice. I suspect that she is closing down her PC without logging out or something and so appears to be still logged in. She is using Vista and the server is a Debian Lenny box. Whenever she tries to access the files on

Hi, I've been through a long discussion of this on the CentOS list, where people are quite helpful, yet we've gotten nowhere with it. With smbd Version 3.0.33-3.14.el5 on two different CentOS 5.4 64-bit boxes, "/etc/init.d/smb start" reports OK for both nmbd and smbd, but an instant later smbd stops running, with no errors reported - just fails, no matter what logging level is

...defaults to /var/nmbd, which of course is an invalid directory and should not be created[1]. While hopefully they can fix it with an option to their configure script at build time, could Samba itself provide better defaults so that new options like this don't take OS developers by surprise?

Hi, I'm trying to join a Windows 7 client to a samba domain.? We're running samba 3.3.9 from SerNet.? I've changed the registry settings on the Win7 client per the wiki page (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7). Unfortunately, I'm still getting: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain because the following error has occurred: The specified domain either

Is that expected in 3.4.7? It didn't happen in 3.3, so what has changed? Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"

...lly restart Samba after an update, so "yum update" must be followed by "service smb restart". Is this a deliberate design? Most RHEL/Fedora daemon packages include a "service x condrestart" in the postinstall script, so that yum updates can be completely automatic. Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"

Hi , I have French CIFS server. If I try to map a share from any windows machine with non-ascii (UTF-8, french characters are part of password) password, it is successful. But If I try from linux machine, it fails. mount -t cifs //MACHINE/DatasetFIGS_?????????????  /tmp/rahul -o user=??,password=??,domain=eKKDr mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual

Hello I waited 15mn in case it was due to some browsing issue, but the directory I shared on a Ubuntu server still doesn't show up in the XP Net'hood, with no error when starting smbd or in /var/log/samba/log.smbd. Here's the smb.conf I wrote: =================== # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] ;Checked: Same wg on XP workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server %v

I have a Debian machine running Unstable acting as a samba server. The server was installed a few days ago after a reinstall of the OS. The older installation's samba configs were backed up and restored after installation. The Samba shares are accessible if I access them from a Windows 7 client. The shares, however, cannot be accessed from a Debian client (newly installed amd64 Testing).

Hi folks, My client and I are having a problem getting a portable Esaote ultrasound machine to connect to a Samba server. The unit has an integrated laptop with a Windows XP version that can hardly be modified. Upon delivery the vendor only changed the user name and workgroup for us. When I asked for the user password to make a matching Samba account, the vendor refused because they use

...ate2: netlogon_creds_server_check failed. Rejecting auth request from client MEEPO machine account MEEPO$ It all works - I've joined the domain and can log in and access the shares, so obviously it does manage to authenticate somehow, so is there any way of stopping those messages appearing?

Hi, I'm using Samba (currently samba-3.0.10-1.fc3) in an intranet environment under Fedora Core 3. I learned that I have to upgrade to Samba 3.3.4 or higher in order to join new Windows 7 clients to the domain. Hints to binaries for this setting would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jo

I've been running a samba 3.0.28a PDC with XP clients for a while now. The setup has been working flawlessly. I'm considering upgrading some of the clients to Vista. Are there any known issues to Vista using this version of Samba that I should know about. I all need to do is join the Samba domain and connect to a few network shares.

Hi, there I have a Samba(3.0.22) PDC and 100 XP users. This configuration works perfect for me. Thanks for Samba team. My question is: Is there a way to show an XP user all files belong to her/him on a Samba shared folder? The reason I'm asking, is I want to find all my file on the shared Samba folder. Thanks, Allen

Hi folks. Periodically a workgroup shows up on our network with an inappropriate name. We're trying to find the best way to track this down as it's quite intermittent. We can obviously look for announcement messages (in broadcast packets on ports 138/139), but this must be done on each subnet and we have enough subnets that this would be rather tedious and at best, a last resort.
