Hi, this is kind of a strange situation. I have a share that I want to work like a drop box. I want users to be able to create new files and read existing files, but not be able to delete them (except for the owner of the dropbox). Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried every combination I could think of write list, read only, force group, and sticky bits on the directory itself.

We're beginning a migration from FreeBSD w/ Samba Version 3.0.28a to Gentoo Linux w/ Samba Version 3.0.33. Both the BSD system and the Linux system are joined to the domain, using the same krb5.conf file and nearly identical global sections of the smb.conf file. What I've found is the UID and GID are not aligned with each other. For example: (dc2: 14:52:53 </var/db/samba>)

Hi, I'm running 3.0.28a on Ubuntu 8.04 (their package). I've got security = ads and idmap backend = ad (smb.conf is posted below). I'm using libnss-ldap and have ldap in nsswitch.conf (also posted below) and ldap connected to the AD server. I have the drive mounted using acl and xattr_user options in fstab (acl is installed). I can connect to the share, I see in the logs that

Is there a fix for this in the works/coming for squeeze or do I have to patch the package myself? If so, how? Thanks, a grateful Debian user that hasn't patched packages yet!

Hi, We're running 3.0.31 (yes, I know that's old!) on a dual core processor, our kernel has SMB support and the dual core processor is recognized correctly, yet all (300+) smbd process seem to be hitting the same core! Is this our OS, the version of samba, something else? Any pointers would be much appreciated! Thanks, Steve -- Steve Rippl Technology Director Woodland Public Schools

Hi, We've just put in a Samba fileserver to replace our windows box for our School District and it seems to be working great. I have a question about defining some specific permissions though. We set up 'Drop boxes' for teachers that kids can drag files into, but they don't have read permission so they can't read each others submitted work. Here's what is looks like on

Perhaps I can ask a slightly different question? Is there some kind of test I can do on a hung process so I can determine whether it's active or not, in a script? The output of strace is below but it doesn't mean much to me I'm afraid. Is there a straight forward difference between strace for a "real" connection and one of my hung ones that I can use to manually kill them?

Hi, When are client sessions closed? Let me explain what I'm trying to do... we're in a School district and we try to stop kids logging more than once. They way I did this before was to dump the active sessions from our previous Server2003 fileserver into a file once a minute and process it with a Perl script to check who was connected from where, rebooting machines remotely as
