...Anyone else seen this? Or any hints as to what to do? I am contemplating upgrading to 2.2.6 - but the WHATSNEW gives no hint that this might be a fixed problem.

Has anyone had any success in getting Samba to correctly restart logging to the log files with the default logrotate setup (or even a modified one) from RedHat? The default setup is to move the files to another location, create a new file for Samba to fill, then send the daemons a HUP signal. I've tried some of the options that can be used in the logrotate.d/samba file (nocreate and

Does anyone have any log analysis tools? I'm currently configured with "log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m", which makes identifying issues with any one client easy, but doesn't provide me with an overall picture of what has been happening. What I'd like to be able to produce is a report showing, for a given unit time, the total number of clients that have connected,

I just thought I'd throw this out there because it doesn't seem normal to me. We have 2.0.5a on AIX 4.3.2. We initially tried to increase the shared mem size to 4MB. This would not happen until we rebooted AIX. Then smbstatus reported a 4MB shared mem size. Now we are trying to decrease it because we will only need about 2MB and it won't reduce. I suspect it will when we reboot

Hello, Our university has a study in progress looking at using SAMBA to provide file/print sharing as an enterprise-wide solution. Does anyone know of an entity that uses SAMBA to support up to or more than 10 site locations, over 125 buildings, and supporting over 5000 workstations? -- Regards, /~\ The ASCII Richard Jackson \ / Ribbon Campaign Computer Systems Engineer,

Greetings to everybody! Is there any way to turn off roaming profiles and use only local ones? In our company each of us connects to domain from its own workstation, so as I can see there's no need in roaming profiles. Why I'm asking such weird question? Because with roaming profiles Windows clients has readonly profiles! With Policy Editor I made HKEY_Local_Machine writeable,
