Hi, I have a wierd problem regarding printing. I use the CUPS-backend on a debian-box to share printers with samba. Sometimes for no apperently reason, a win-box (XP-home) just can't print after a reboot... and no matter how many reboots the win-box makes it just stops working, and dosen't work until samba is restartet.... and its not a samba crash, because other win-boxes prints

Hi, I use Samba and cups on my debian-box to share printers, but sometimes, for no apperently reason, windows machines (XP-pro and XP-home), sudently won't print after reboot and this is only solved by a samba restart. Other times the first print after win-reboot, just gets lost, and never apper in the cups-printing log. It's not domain controled, but everyone is mounting their

Pardon the long log file but I'm fairly new to WINS servers and probably don't know what I'm doing. We've have two subnets (lets call them xxx.xxx.xxx.??? and yyy.yyy.yyy.??) I have one samba/linux server on both networks xxx.xxx.xxx.2 and yyy.yyy.yyy.2. xxx.xxx.xxx.2 is set up to be a domain master and yyy.yyy.yyy.2 is setup to be a local master with xxx.xxx.xxx.2 as its master.

We currently are running smbclient 4.0.7. Users need to add domain name or "\" before username for authentication to succeed. Otherwise, smbclient prepends WORKGROUP\ to username. In a particular environment, "WORKGROUP\username" does not have access to the user's home directory. If we add "workgroup =" parameter in smb.conf file, it now passes. Is it valid to

Hi All, Firstly, I know this is a MacOS X issue and not sure if you guys can help, but I'm really hoping you can since I don't appear to be getting any joy elsewhere. Running OSX 10.5.4 and recently (last week) nmbd is hogging the CPU. I know this is a part of the Samba server on OSX, hence the post to this mail-list. When I disconnect from the network, nmbd goes away and doesn't

Hi all. I have a problem. I'm trying to let samba run as WINS server and as domain master. But if I run nmbd in debug mode it says: dump workgroup on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET: netmask= 10.8.0.1: FREAKYYDE(1) current master browser = UNKNOWN MASTER 40899a03 (master server) the servers hostname is master. i've tried to explicitly set it in the config but it

Hello, I'm having a problem logging in to the Samba domain from an XP machine. The machine is added to the domain but after reboot I can't login. I've done the signorseal registry hack but I'm still not able to login. The error I get when logging in is this: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or

I'm running smbd -V Version 4.1.0rc2-3.1-3075-SUSE-oS12.3-x86_64 This is a standalone server, and the only SMB/CIFS instance on my LAN. On launch, I see the following "find_domain_master_name_query_fail" error in logs. I can't track down what I've managed to do wrong; pointers appreciated. ==> log.nmbd <== [2013/09/07 16:21:41, 2]

Why does browsing across subnets only work if all of the machines are in the same workgroup? We're really a unix and mac campus, but we're trying to support windows machines by using a samba server to let them print and let the students access a little chunk of disk space. I've got a samba server set up as the workgroup SERVERS, and I've told it to be a domain master, a

(Samba version 1.9.18p4) I want to set up my environment thusly: - 2 workgroups, each composed of multiple subnets. - Each workgroup has a DMB and a WINS server (Samba only - no NT) - The two workgroups should collate browse lists so that clients on either workgroup can browse and connect to hosts on the opposite workgroup. I've read the documentation in BROWSING.txt and...

Is it possible to browse multiple workgroups on two or more subnets? I have set up samba on either end of a VPN and can browse successfully from either end, but only in the workgroup that samba is configured for. Can Samba be a member of more than one workgroup at the same time? Looking in browse.dat I can see all the machines in samba'...

I'm hoping someone can give me a hand in figuring out this problem, I have seen several other similar problems in searching, but nothing that exactly matches what I am seeing here. I have recently migrated a client from a Samba server running 2.2.7 (Redhat 9) to 3.0.2 (Fedora 1). The samba installation is running as a PDC for 5 Win XP workstations and was working perfectly prior to the

Hi, The documentation I've read indicates that I should be able to get Samba to honor the value of the 'workgroup' variable as set from within an included virtual server configuration file. Given the configuration files below, if I comment out the "workgroup = testwg" line from the main configuration file (smb.conf), then a query of the Samba server (with

Hello, I'm using Samba 3.0.0rc2-Debian on Debian unstable. At the time being it does everything I want it to except one: I'm in the wrong workgroup. Despite the line workgroup = BETASIG in my smb.conf, I show up in the workgroup "WORKGROUP." There is no mention of "workgroup" or "WORKGROUP" anywhere else in my smb.conf other than this. Would be happy

How can i

Hi, I am configuring a network with two subnets with a different workgroup in each subnet. My aim is to have users being able to view and access shares on both workgroups. I have a Samba server in each subnet/workgroup, configured as both the domain and local master for each workgroup. Each server is also the WINS server for its subnet. The setup is like this: Subnet1: network - 192.168.10.0/24 server IP - 192.168.10.254 workgroup - Group1 Subnet2: network - 19...

Hello, There are many workgroup names on Microsoft Windows Network. Sometimes, users could wrong type the workgroups name on self computers, and creating new record on WINS server. I don't want showing the unwanted names to end users. Only two workgroups must be showed. Is it possible that I could clean unnecessary names? regards.

I have problems to get browse lists from other workgroups across subnets. On win95 network neighbourhood I have a complete list form all computers in the same workgroup (including computers located on an other subnet) and a workgroup list. But if I try to look at the computers on an other workgroup I get an error message: workgroup not available. The sub...

I am relatively new to Linux and Samba, so pardon what may be a stupid question. I am having a problem accessing my SAMBA server's workgroup from my window's clients. The workgroup (WORKGROUP) shows up in the Windows network neighborhood, but when I click it I get a message that says "Workgroup is not accessible. Network name cannot be found." However, when I click Start, Run
