I am having a problem with the Samba server that I run. Simply, new users added to the system cannot log on to the PC's that are controlled from the Samba server's domain. Users that are already on the system and have been working for some time seem to be unaffected. I suspect that the problem may well be related to the 'minor' problem we experienced with the server the other

Surely someone out there knows how to notify their Windows users that access to their samba server is going to be terminated.... Any help will be *greatly* appreciated. ------ Original Message ------- I would like to shut down samba before I begin my backup routine. Before I do this, I would like to send a message to the users who are logged in on their Windows machines, asking them to log

Lol. The mossy side of a boulder is the alloc, the non-mossy side is the free! :P regards, dan carpenter

Hi, I am having a problem with automating the download of printer drivers from a Samba 2.2.8 server. We used to use the server with he following options set: use client driver = yes disable spoolss = yes However these options have now been removed from smb.conf. Following the instructions available in printer_driver2.htm (supplied in docs/htmldocs in the source), I can add a printer driver to

Many thanks to everyone who replied to me with possible solutions to the problem I was having with drive mappings from login scripts under Windows 98SE. Adam Manock hit the nail on the head with his comments (see below) - it turned out to be exactly this. I was using Notepad to edit the login script, then using SSH to transfer the script to the server. SSH was 'helpfully' converting

Yes, just make your changes and then wait a couple of minutes! Samba re-reads its config file every minute or so, as soon as changes are detected they are implemented!

Hi Mike, You may need to create the netlogon folder in your Samba directory tree. Samba is installed on my servers in /usr/local/samba - netlogon is a subfolder of that, with scripts being a subfolder of the netlogon directory. My logon scripts are therefore in /usr/local/samba/netlogon/scripts and are owned by root.root, readable by all. Find your Samba directory and have a look for the

Steve, Here's how I got it all working: Create the directory you want to share (you've already done this bit), change the group ownership to be www-data and then chmod the folder 2775. You should end up with a folder whose group ownership is www-data and whose permissions are rwxrwsr-x, ie the setgid bit is set to cause files to be owned by the group www-data. Here's my share

I am having a problem with Samba 2.2.2 mapped drives under Windows NT. Specifically, the problem is that users cannot either read directly from (by double-clicking on a file), nor directly write to the root of a mapped drive. Users CAN however create a folder in the root of their mapped drives and then read and write files to that folder okay, and can also copy files from the root of their

Samba List Serve Users: Is there a document or web link that follow that describes the steps to upgrade Samba from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8? The documentation on samba.org the I have read assumes that the install is a fresh install and not an upgrade. Thanks so much, Mark Roth Systems Engineer Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Many thanks to those who have replied so far - still no luck unfortunately. It would appear that I was ni=ot quite specific enough in the original post re: the OS version I am using - it is Windows 98SE, NOT vanilla 98. As for the login script I am using, I tried originally with the NT/2K script I use for all the other machines (logical as they are all NT/2K!): #### Script starts here ####
