Folks, A remote admin is trying to add a contractor account to our NT domain with limited rights. Unfortunately, everytime the contractor account is removed from the DomainUsers group, the contractor encounters the following: \\nt-nfs-md\IPC$ and the infamous invalid password. Once the user is re-added to the DomainUsers group, they can access the share fine. My question is what permissions

Hi ! I hope this is the correct place to ask questions ... I'm having the following problem : A "service" on an NT 4 server cannot connect to a samba share on my linux machine. The specific versions are given below. From the NT machine I have no problem as the administrator to login to samba server and view the target share. The supplier's service however cannot

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba server? -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

I can force a browser election with the Win98 command: net view /workgroup:workgroupname However, that does not work on NT (and I haven't tried it on W95). What I'd really like is a command from the Linux command line to force the election. I've looked everywhere and can't find it. For my purposes having preferred master=yes and restarting Samba is not an option. Does anyone

...2. I ignore the message and setup the printer anyway. Print jobs appear to spool, but never get there. I've done a couple of quick sniffer traces and I see traffic, but I can't pinpoint the problem. I CAN print from a term using smbclient however. Any ideas? Thanks! -- John J.

...which we have all seen before (right?). Problem is, it is already enabled. It seems that perhaps the CR is being stripped somehow? If anyone has an idea how I can get this to work in ascii mode from Samba, I'd greatly appreciate it! Heck, I'd love just a hint or two! -- John J. LeMay Jr. NJMC, LLC. http://www.njmc.com

I am running samba-2.0.3-8 on Redhat 6.2 in five global locations. All are fine except one. In this location when a user runs MS Visual Developer they are able to open, save compile and edit files just fine. However when they type either [Enter] or [Bkspc] to add or delete a line, in this case only MSVD hangs for several seconds. Insert several lines and wait 1+ minutes!!! I have watched the

All three machines are on a local IP only subnet, 10Mbps HDX shared. Any suggestions would be appreciated! -- John J. LeMay Jr. NJMC, LLC. http://www.njmc.com

I just ran into a completely unexpected problem. It appears that the Kingston SOHO Hubs don't do TCP. They do NETBEUI very well. After 4 hours of troubleshooting I went home and got my cheap Bay Networks 8 port hub and everything worked. This is to hopefully prevent others from running into the same problem. Nothing on Kingstons site mentions no TCP support but swapping only the hub worked

Hello all, I've got a W95 box connected via crossover to a 2.2.12 RH 6.0 linux box, running 2.0.3 samba. Writes to samba from Win explorer are around 450 K/sec. Reads from samba to Windows using Explorer are around 8 K/sec. Using the smb version of tcpdump, I see between a .200 and .220 second lag between packets. smbd is nowhere near the top of my "top" list output in linux. Is

Greetings: I couldn't find this one in the archive: What we want to do here is make it so a non-owning user can map a drive, but not see anything below the top level. However, if they know the exact pathname to a file, they should be able to open it. In Unix, we do this with file permissions like: drwx--x--x foo drwx--x--x foo/bar -rwxr--r-- foo/bar/foobar So the owner can do

I need to be able to access my Samba network from a DOS floppy. Obviously it must be a tcp/ip client rather than netbeui. Any pointers on doing this? Not *too* cryptic as I'm not expert at this sort of thing. I'm pretty sure I saw some material on the Samba site, but now I cannot find it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lindsay Allen

The problem: attempting to connect to a samba network drive from a Windows 98 machine gives me the error message: "Not logged on". Background: We have been running samba to serve a number of w95 clients for a couple of years. Some of the clients are remote and we don't bother with running nmbd(8), so all clients have LMHOSTS files. The problem is related to a new W98 machine

I am configuring Linux (2.0.33) as a local router. I am wanting to use Samba (1.9.18p3) to "manage" the browse lists on my network so that computers on each subnet can browse resources on the other subnets. My local network consists of Win95 and NT40 workstations with NT40 servers. My test configuration consists one token ring segment on one side of the Samba box (network .192) and

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of piloting a Samba server for file/print in a Windoze NT network. I'm using Samba 2.0.5 on Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 I've been managing Windows networks for quite a while, but Linux/Samba is new to me. What I want to know is: Other than making my Samba server a domain controller, is there a relatively easy way to import my existing user accounts
