We are having a problem getting a NetApp filer to re-join a samba domain after a move to a new network. The filer worked fine with samba before the move. Apologies in advance for the long missive. I've tried the following: - re-running the CIFS setup program on the filer - removing the problem filer's samba account, replacing it, and re-running the setup program on the filer

Hello. I'm using Samba 3.0.25a on FreeBSD-6.0. Samba is configured to be a PDC. Samba can't find its hostname via nmblookup: $ nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 frontier querying frontier on 192.168.1.255 name_query failed to find name frontier If I query Samba via unicast, it answers OK: $ nmblookup -U frontier frontier querying frontier on 192.168.1.31 192.168.1.31 frontier<00> Also,

I am attempting to utilize BackupPC on a Fedora 14 server to backup a remote client. As I understand, it's primary mechanism for finding clients is performing a nmblookup <clientname> This works fine for computers connected to the local network. My issue is extending ?Samba's? search to encompass our other network - the point-to-point VPNs Using OpenVPN, we have a number of road

Background: I have 2 SMB Servers; one is configured to be the Preferred Master (fserver), the other (upstairs) is configured to just share some files. I want it to connect and update the WINS configuration on the Preferred Master. Configuration files for both servers are attached. Also worth mentioning that both the 'fserver' and 'upstairs' reside on the same network. Some

I've seen this happen several times, and, short of rebooting the NT PDC, I can't seem to fix it. Background: We have two numbered networks in the building. We have an NT domain that has members on both numbered networks. To keep browse lists straight, I've designated Samba as the browse master on one of the networks. It's declared to be in the same workgroup as the NT primary

Hello People, I do hope that this is not a really old problem that everyone is totally sick of hearing; it is a pain in the neck problem for me right now. I am just a Samba user. Help will be much appreciated 8-) I have been using Mandriva 2007 Linux and have installed Mandriva 2008; Samba has stopped working as described below. What is wrong? * The hardware is a local LAN controlled by an

Dear List, I hope someone could give me some explanation about above error/problem I got. I have 2 machines, one installed RH7.3 (IP ADDR. =10.1.45.12, host name = fk0000-msi-srv) and the other one, Mandrake8.2. (IP ADDR. = 10.1.45.13) Both machines use Samba 2.2.3a. At the RH7.3, I got following error if I connect from Mandrake8.2. $ smbclient -U% -L 10.1.45.12 added interface ip=10.1.45.13

I have two domains which are on different subnets, connected by a routed OpenVPN tunnel. The domains trust each other. Domain A has the WINS server. Domain B is confused to use Domain A's WINS server. The VPN pushes the WINS server as part of its DHCP options as well. >From either domain, I am able to use smbclient to see the shares on the other domain's PDC. I have to specify -W

Folks, I am stumped! I have followed every tech tip I could find and I am still unable to complete my SMB installation. Specifically, I fail Test 4 and Tests 9 and 10.

Hello everybody! Still struggeling with my latest Samba setup, I've just run accross another problem which I can't figure out on my own. Samba is supposed to act as a WINS server (among other things) on a multihomed machine. (The Samba version is 3.5.1 as part of Debian Squeeze) Here's the [global] part of the samba setup: ----------------------------------- 8<

I used to be able to browse the windows shares on the network through Nautilus. I can see them as computers, but when I click on them, it fails. (I'm on Ubuntu 6 LTS, AMD64) About 3 months ago, this failed. But, the windows boxes can all still access my shares on my Linux box. I was going through the trouble shooting, and found this out, but I'm not sure what to do next. I am

Hi there, I just got a new machine with Redhat Enterprise Workstation and samba 3.0.0-14 pre-installed. I am trying to connect it to my existing network which has a redhat v8 samba v2 PDC controlling 16 or so win2k and winxp machines.

Hi, I searched the documentation and the web but cannot find a way to query a wins server for all registered machines in an workgroup or domain. If I want to ask the wins with nmblookup, I have to specify a single name to lookup, wildcards are not allowed. If using the broadcast facility I can search with wildcards: nmblookup '*' -B 192.168.0.255 querying * on 192.168.0.255 192.168.0.7

I'm running a Samba PDC at home (v2.2.5, recently upgraded from v2.2.3 in an attempt to solve this problem) on RedHat 7.3. I have domain logon, printing and all that good stuff working just fine to a couple of XP and 2000 clients. But, I want to mount a couple shares from the domain clients to the server, and that works just fine except for one client. fujisawa(6) ~> smbmount

I'd be interested in any corrections or comments on the following instructions (basically for myself): We assume that BackupPC has been installed: sudo yum install BackupPC 1. BackupPC must be run by the user backuppc. Accordingly the lines User apache Group apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should be changed to User backuppc Group backuppc 2. The user backuppc must be able to
