Hello G?tz, could you do a closer look at your smbd (maybe with truss or strace) to see what exactly happens? or maybe it would be enough to watch traffic between your client and server (and traffic between your server and nameserver, domaincotroler (if involved)) best regards, chris -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces+christian.masopust=siemens.com@lists.samba.org

Hi, I use a RH7.2++ samba-2.2.3a-6, kernel-2.4.9-7 PDC configured server. If I open a MS Office file (word/excel), the changes can be saved, but closing the application crashes it. I'v read about oplock problems on this list and in the net; the only solution was to update to 2.2.5 and may be to RH 7.3++. I set oplocks = no, level2 oplocks = no (GLOBAL), hoping that would help - but it

HI, I recently upgraded an wu-imap server to dovecot dovecot-0.99.11-1.FC3.3 without big trouble (the subscribed mailboxes had to be added by hand...) But today users told me that there where some problems; e.g. a user tried to delete a message and got this error: Oct 19 09:43:13 mail imap(jmeinken): File isn't in mbox format: /home/mitarbeiter/jmeinken//Trash This didn't happen

Hi, at the moment I use "logon script = scripts\%G.bat", and have two scripts for my two main user groups. Now there are some special users which should have different scripts, so I thought, if there is a way of adding an option to use two login scripts; e.g. if there is an user script, use it, if not than use the group script. Or do I have to maintain that "problem" by

Hi, I'm sorry to bug you with an not directly dovecot related question, but this is for me right now the place with the best mailsystem admins I know. I'm asked if there is a way to save a copy of all mail we send trough our sendmail server (Red Hat EL 5.x) in and out as an .eml file for further processing by a DMS system. The files should be saved on some network share. Any suggestion

Hi, at first, you have to use Samba Version 2.2.1 or higher. When you try to join the domain you have to give the root password, to authorize that the Client joins the domain. I don't know special HOWTos for w2k client, only the original PDC HowTo on www.samba.org. greetings PHJ -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Goetz Reinicke [mailto:goetz.reinicke@filmakademie.de] Gesendet:

Hi, I have one server in a DMZ with an public IP. The three-leged-shorewall is configured using proxy arp, to access this server from the internet and the local network. That works for e.g. http... From the server I can ssh to the firewall or ftp to the internet, but I can''t ssh or ftp into the local network. (may be there is something wrong with the routes...?) I don''t

Hi, after the update from wu-imap to dovecot, opening e-mails on the imap server seems slower than with wu-imap. I haven't measured any speed yet, but clicking on a message in a folder takes sometimes a couple of seconds to open the mail. Any ideas or performance tips or information you need?

Hi, because the fedora project switcht from wu imap to dovecot, i followed this step. Today I'm very unhappy about this step, because there are more problems for me than advantages... But today the biggest problem is, that a lot!!! of mailboxes are damaged. within three year no mailbox was damaged using wu imap. The errormessage is: imap(cstrang): File isn't in mbox format:

Hi, we run a RHEL4 E-Mail-Server with dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1. we use mbox and most users use imap. So I have set quota for the devices where the user mailfiles are saved. No I'm getting the situation, that users exide there quota but yet not the grace limit and the user isn't able to delete messages. e.g. the the soft limit is 100 MB, the hard limit is 110 MB. So there should be

Hi, we run RedHat 7.2++, SAMBA 2.2.3a-6 RedHat; SAMBA works as a PDC with roaming profiles. We use Win2K SP2++ Clients. Can somone explain to me, when a local copy of the profile is saved an how we can make sure, that there is only the sever-saved profile? (It's space wasting if 25 students have a local profile with x MB and the same on the server :-) ) Thanks for hints an tips! cu...

Hi folks, I installed a new samba-PDC-server (dual athlon, raid,...) with Redhat 9++ and samba 2.2.8a from rawhide. I copied all (?) configfiles (/etc/samba/*) from my old server an adjusted some shares. The old server (RH 8, Samba 2.2.6, single PIII) was working for a couple of month without a probelm; I could create mashineaccounts on the fly from windows 2K and XP Pro, profiles and

Hi, I have one user who should be able to _view_ all open files and connections on a samba server. He should not be allowed to login to the server by telnet or ssh to use smbstatus, nore should he be able to use swat as long as he could view the configfile. So my question: is there a way to configure swat for one user to only view the opened connections? Or dose someone has an other idea?

Hi, we run a samba 2.2.8 server and like to migrate to a faster, new server running samba 3.0.2a. I thought to copy all files from the old to the new one mounting the new shares by nfs. For a test I copied some files using scp. A problem concernes the german umlauts: on the old server they aren't displayed if I "ls" the files while browsing the share works fine. If I copy the

Hi, is it possible, to configure one physical samba server to listen on multiple NICs? I have two subnetworks to which I'd like to connect my samba server, but I dont want both networks to "see" each other, so the server should not be a router. The Clients in both networks should see the same serverstructure (Users, Shares,...) Thanks for any hints and tips! cu... ...G?tz --

Hi, what I've done: Installed Redhat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.2 from rawhide. Configured samba as a PDC and WINS-Server. Added Useraccounts and Mashineaccounts for my NT4SP6a-Users and -Systems. The NT4 Systems can join the domain, the Users can access the shares. Installed W2K with sp2 on an testsystem. I can access the shares with different users. I added the mashine account for the testsystem

Hi, I recently installed dovecot 0.99 on a fedora core 1 Server which used the wu-imap-server. dovecot starts and I can subscribe to my old imapfolders, but if I send mails to my account, this new mail arent downloaded.

Hi, we run a RH 9 Server with samba 2.2.8 as a PDC. Win 2K/XP Clients can log in without a problem, logonscripts work fine. Now I'd like to update to Fedoroa Core 1 with Samba 3.0.0.
