...ing requests on the ip for a small amount of time, which results in a failed operation. I wonder if there is a way to have samba bind only to certain IP addresses, but not require those addresses to be live at startup.

Hello fellow samba users, Our company uses samba for all fileshares/printing/PDC on two SUN E3500's. We like to replace these with about 10 Linux 19" XEON (pizza)boxes. The question: Are there any implementation out there using a loadbalancing cluster doing samba? A simple diagram of the setup I have in mind: Users (+/- 500) ||| Headnode(Director 1) - Headnode (Director 2) | Worknode -

Hello, I am in the process of trying to get a large network (300+ systems) spanning 3 subnets to be able to display all windows machines in the Network Neighborhood. After reading through copious amounts of documentation, using Samba as a domain controller and then having systems on each subnet seemed to be the best approach. I set one of the machines to be the domain controller for what was my

Hello, I have a question that I was wondering if someone could help me with. I am an admin at RIT and we have a large network base of Sun machines. We do authentication via NIS over NFS. We are about to receive a full lab of Windows boxes and need to set up a samba server to serve users' home directories to the Windows boxes.

I'm wondering if it's possible to get samba to auth against LDAP without saving multiple hashes in the directory? I'd like to keep it to the hash that we use to auth unix-systems today, without cluttering the directory with other hashes that need to be synchronized etc. -- Odd Rune

I fear that may result in PDC in-fighting.. Thanks to any clever, savvy person who can help, -- Matt Schillinger mschilli@vss.fsi.com

newbie question, but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I would like to set up a primary samba file server and a backup samba file server. if the primary file server fails i would like the backup server to take over as the main file server as automaticly as possible. was looking at rsync to backup primary server share files to the backup server, i think that might be part of the answer

Hi, I have some strange problems with 3.0a21 PDC (samba and nss use both ldap) and I can't find any good help with google... One strange thing is that logon script does'nt work anymore, it worked at one point and now doesnt (I quite play around here and I dont know in which point of changing smb.conf it stopped to work).

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup
