Hi, maybe I missed a recent "FDP" (Frequently described problem)in the list, but maybe somebody can point me to the right direction. There were several postings about not seeing Samba but none referred the the MS "File and Print Services" on W9x clients being the cause of the trouble (Hope this is the correct translation from German W9x). I've got a Samba 2.0.5a with Suse 6.1 and W9x clients. I can use everything fine except that I can't see the Samba machine from a client in NN as soon as "File and Print Services" are...

My W9x clients cannot download printer driver from samba 3.0.2rc1 with cups 1.1.17, while w2k clients do. The W9x clients open the Add Printer Wizard, connect to print$ share, request the ADOBEPS4.DRV file, but they stop at the beginning of the download. Permissions on print$\WINNT\0 directory are the...

Hi all, I try to explain my strange Samba problem: I've done a linuxbox with Mandrake 8.2 distro; installed Samba 2.2 packages and two printers attached via parallel port: one works with the motherboard built-in parallel port, the other is connected via a pci parallel port card. Both works fine on win2000 clients (and on the linuxbox, too :); on windows 98 clients, both printers are

Hi, I want to setup Samba as a new PDC. I followed the instructions on IBM's site (http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba/index.html) The problem I currently have is that Windows 9X boxes can't connect to the Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo box. However, I can make connections on localhost to localhost using smbclient //localhost/share -U username I've tried a couple of different

Greetings, Similar to the other CUPS thread, but not the same. Samba 2.2.5 built on a Sparc Solaris 9 box with Cups 1.1.5. I've set up Samba to print with Cups as outlined in the docs. I am able to download the generic Adobe print driver to my Windows 2000 clients but the Windows 98 clients are asking for a local driver to be installed. Looking at verbose output from cupsaddsmb,

I've set up Samba and CUPS on our testing server here, and used smbcupsadd to upload the Adobe PS drivers to the server as directed in the HOWTO (The CUPS and Samba HOWTOs differ on this point, by the way - the latter claims that PSMON.DLL is needed in addition to the eight other files. I played it safe and had it upload that, too). With the caveat that I first have to connect to each printer

We have a strange problem with our w2k clients: We use two Samba server (one is PDC and the other is Print-Server - operate in security=server mode with password server=PDC). All printers are configured on the Print-Server with the Windows NT Printer Wizzard: uploading driver for W9x, NT 4.0 and W2k; setting misc. options, like Paper feeder and so on .. . So far so good! Printing from W9x and NT 4.0 Clients is working without any problems! But the W2k Clients get a "Access denied" after the first print job! When I look into a level 6 log, I see: [2002/02/20 14:58:03...

...a certain length of time then these are the types of errors I will get. Is there somewhere in the smb.conf file that I can extend the length of time before it times out? Or is there another problem causing this ? We have this problem intermitently and it appears to be predominantly a problem with W9x and W2K. I don't remember having this type of problem with any of the NT computers, but about once a month users on W9x and W2K will start complaining that they are having problems connecting. I'm not sure whether to blame this on WINS, Samba or the network in general. Is there a documen...

Hi all, i'm new to the list and here's my first question : I'm trying to install several printer drivers on my samba server with imprints. I did a package with the NT/2000 and W9x drivers and the mkprintpkg command. Then I used the command install_printer_drivers.pl to install the files in the appropriate directories. So now i'd like to check the drivers available and the printers available too in order to run the rpcclient's command named setdriver. The enumdrivers...

Hi, I've got a problem downloading the printer drivers from a samba server. I uploaded them fine with a W2K workstation as root, but when i try to get them from a W9X client it fails except if i log as root. And this is the message displayed in the samba logs of the computer on which i did it : [2002/08/27 15:02:34, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(587) user-name (195.221.112.112) Can't change directory to /home/samba/printers/msrpc (Permission denied)...

I've googled my brains out trying to find the "latest" NT 4.0 System Policy Editor files: POLEDIT.CNT POLEDIT.EXE POLEDIT.HLP COMMON.ADM (NT & W9x) WINNT.ADM (NT) WINDOWS.ADM (W9x) I only have dialup access, and it will take me a zillion days to download SP6 for NT so I can extract the above files. Can any one point me to where I can D/L those six (or 0110) files? Thanks Mike -- SuSE 9.0 Pro (2.4.21-192-default) with samba-2.2.8a-107

My WXPP PC cannot login to the Samba server although the Win2K and W9x PC's can. The XPP system has joined the domain, but when I rebooted the PC and tried logging in via the domain it complained about not having permission or an account which I've verified and have redone several times, but still I cannot login. Anyone have any information on how to fix this....

For a LAN of 15 clients W9x/2000/XP with Samba 3 PDC level security User, backend default smbpasswd and without winbind, I have problem to view NT domain users groups lists in Windows 9x "Sharing" (I ran "net groupmap modify" to change english language name groups to spanish )...

Hi to all. We have a samba-2.2.8a-220 Server. The server works still fine with several clients (W9x, W2k, WXP and smbmounts via Linux). But now I have to connect an Apple OSX and now I have one problem. From OSX I can connect to the shares, browse the file listing. But when a file is copied into a share, the file is on the destination with 0 (zero) Bytes filesize. The linux uid and gid are co...

Maybe that's because the M$ "solutions" are crap, and much better alternatives already exist. > If you want to view UNIX text files correctly on a W9x or NT client you > should use Wordpad or if you have you can also use Word.

Hi, I cant' see all folders I need when I browse share by W2k or XP Professional client? With W9x it browse correctly. I hope I've reported all you need to understand my situation: Samba-3.0.14a on RH9 joined to Windows Server 2003 and configured with Kerberos. Following my smb.conf.

Hi, we have tested Samba 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 with LDAP-Support (--with-ldap) on Solaris 8 and it worked fine. The machine authenticates against an OpenLDAP server. Patch 108993-23 is applied and we use native Sun LDAP client modules. On Solaris 9 we ran into problems with secondary groups. Users cannot access files if the rights are based on a secondary group and if this information is stored on

Hi, printer driver download with W2000/Xp (samba-2.2.7 and cups-1.1.18) and the Adobe PS Driver works fine for our location. But when I try to download a driver with W9X the driver installation widzard starts. Samba logs the following messages... (Cant determine number of printer driver files...) (see second apandix) The installation of the driver works with no error. (see first apendix) Has anyone successfully installed the W9X Adobe Driver? Thank you very muc...

Has anybody done such a thing as this? I'm looking to make this transition as smooth as possible. I have the new fileserver up and running, and I'm using rsync to keep the Novell data current on the Samba server. Any words of advice on transferring the users and groups and permissions over to the new server in the least painful way possible? I have some idea that Novell uses LDAP

Desperate to find out why connecting to a samba share(on an AIX server) from W2K is so slow, I tried connecting to the same share from a Linux box, using smbclient: smbclient \\\\aixserver\\sharedir$ -U lynn The results were amazing. The connection was so MUCH FASTER then connecting from a W2K (pro) workstation: \\aixserver\sharedir$ (in the Start|Run edit box) When I examined the samba log
