Has anyone had the home directories of some Windows 2000 users become inundated with thousands (15k or so) of directories all of a sudden? This is of course a samba share on the samba PDC. It really renders the H:\ pretty useless. It also seems to occur only if you are logged onto a certain machine. Is anyone aware of any causes? Certain software packages that maybe create odd directories in a

What are the general reason why a samba share might be slow..? Especially those mapped network drive? What would probably be the cause of slowness in the access and mapping time? Need help Kumaran

Hi, I am trying to find a way to change NT4 domain password from linux. smbpasswd works fine if you know user's old password but I am looking for a way to connect to PDC using all-mighty Administrator credentials and change other user's password. I have searched all over the web in vain. Have anybody done that? How? Maybe using tools other than Samba? Thanks a lot, Sergei

I've been trying to get the acl functionality (from windows) to work now for several days and have not found a solution. I've spent many hours Googling the web, and searching the samba list archives. If someone else has this working (in the 3.0 alpha code), I would appreciate seeing your config files, if you wouldn't mind. Goal: to be able to add user/group permissions to files

...ing the o/g/u permissions. As I understand it, because UFS2 supports ACLs, am I not supposed to be able to create more thorough ACLs (much like NTFS can?) Have I chosen the correct file-system to do the job? Regards, -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd. adam.smith@sageautomation.com http://www.sageautomation.com

Hi, just wondering if anyone had ever though about making a port of Samba for windows. Now you may think "What's the point?" Well I'll tell you if you had as much control over smb as you have with Samba then you wouldn't need it for windows.. but you don't. Not unless you buy Windows 2000 Server or now 2003. By porting Samba to Windows you could take control

...? I do not know Perl well enough to begin troubleshooting this problem either, unfortunately. Is there anyone who has had experience with this setup that can assist me in working out what is going wrong? Thankyou :) -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd. adam.smith@sageautomation.com http://www.sageautomation.com

...of DOMAIN\User. On a FreeBSD system I am also toying with, I could chown files to a user in the format of DOMAIN\user. Do they have to login this way? Is there a way to drop the DOMAIN\ section if this is the case? -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd. adam.smith@sageautomation.com http://www.sageautomation.com "Just a friendly wave each morning.." - Neighbours

i also have the same problem but the error is different, when i try to connect to Samab domain with right login/password, it says "The specified user doesnot exist" and when i try to connect with wrong login or password or both it says "Logon failure : user unknown or bad password", also confirm me how many and which accounts I need to connect win2k to the samba domain? below

I am runnning Samba 2.2.3a which act as a NT workstation connecting to CNS-NT domain. When I tried to connect to Samba, \\Bigred\home is not accessible, you might not have permission to use this network resource. Any ideas? -Paul Hong
