similar to: UNC Mapping with WINE

I ran into a situation where partial UNC support would be helpful and easy. Visual Sourcesafe runs well under Wine if I map \\vssServer\vssDir to a drive letter. Unfortunately, our administrator has the line journal_file = \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt in the sourcesafe config file. This causes an error dialog box "Bad DOS filename \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt". If Wine handled UNC

Greetings- A relatively small request, but here goes. I have some crosstabs, generated with table(), in R: > table(pg.df$grouptype,pg.df$age) 0 1 2 3 4 B 1 3 6 8 3 C 1 3 4 10 7 P 0 2 9 9 8 S 2 9 4 5 16 U 0 15 15 3 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 I would like to export these in latex format using xtable(). But it appears there's no appropriate method for

Hiya! I have a developer that would like to be able to have access to a share on a UNIX server running Samba where he can use UNCs embedded in VB code on a win2k client to access files on the share. No problem, easily done. He also wants users to _NOT_ be able to use the Windows Explorer to map the drive and gain access that way. He wants only for his embedded UNCs to access the share. If you

I find that Sys.glob() doesn't like UNC paths where the initial slashes are backslashes. The help page for Sys.glob() doesn't specificly mention UNC paths, but does say: "File paths in Windows are interpreted with separator \ or /." Is the failure to treat a path beginning with a double-backslash as a UNC network drive path the intended behavior? E.g., on a Windows system

Hi all I wish to run 'Enterprise Architect' from Sparx Systems[1]. The installer runs just fine, and the application installs OK. The main issue is that the license key file is a shared resource - many users can utilise the same license file (legitimately I might add!) at the same time, so the license file is located on a SMB share. The key file itself has encoded into itself what the

Hi, Not a Samba question specifically, so please forgive me, but somewhat related... I am trying to automate some tasks in a secure environment (restricted ipsec vpn). Running Windows 2000 (and XP, etc), I would like to be able to access a Samba server using the UNC, but specify a username/password combination as well. You know, in Windows Explorer it allows you to "Connect using a

For those having problems with Vista, and unc paths showing up empty, I can confirm that: [global] host msdfs = no fixes the problem. This is on 3.0.24 with all patches. Note that I am not using Dfs root shares or the like. YMMV Hope this helps someone. Cheers! -- Richard Potter

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins

Hi! Is there any way for the "HOMES" share to be mapped to \\server\whatever\%USERNAME% instead of \\server\%USERNAME% . I think that DFS still don't work fine for linux CIFS mounting. So, if I could do this kind of mapping, this would let me give users now the final UNCs and introduce DFS in a future time (when DFS mounting will be fully supported) without having to disturb

I'm having an issue with occasionally slow-running calls to normalizePath. If the path is a non-existent UNC path, then normalizePath sometimes takes 6 or 7 seconds to run, rather than its usual few microseconds. My big problem is that I can't reliably reproduce this across machines. The example below generates one or two slow runs out of 10000 on my Windows machine. I haven't been

we're using Samba 3.0.10 on a Mac OS X server (XServe), and are accessing files on the XServe from Windows Server 2003. for the specific situation of creating thumbnails of images, i'm seeing a huge perf difference between accessing the same file via mapped drive vs. UNC path. if we map the Z: drive to \\usseast01\assetstorage (Z:\foo.tif), and create a thumbnail of a 1.5MB TIFF file,

Hi, I am experiencing performance issues when using samba as an application server for starting exe files from my Windows XP machine. I have a shortcut on my desktop that links to an executable via UNC path. Startin the link takes up to 15 seconds, the second time it's a lot faster. After starting the application and I wait for some time it seems like my session needs to reconnect or

Hi, in my Office, I'm trying to replace a Novell-server by a Linux-server. On the Novell-server, there is the SYS: volume. On this volume is a directory named DriveT. I did a map on it, so this SYS:DriveT was used as T: . If you link Excel sheets, which are stored on T:, to Word documents, Word unfortunately saves the UNC path, which is \\SERVER1\SYS\DRIVET instead of T: On my new Samba

Alright, I can be a bit thick sometimes, but by RTFM or other documentation I've solved a problem. ISSUE I had been having problems with profiles, I use using the following profile: <edited> [global] preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon path = \\%N\%u\profiles logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U logon script =

Hi Graham, In that case I''ll have to redefine File.delete and Dir.rmdir in the win32-file package and win32-dir packages, respectively. Please add a feature request on the project page so I don''t forget. I should have it done this weekend. Dan Foster, Graham wrote: > I want to create a long UNC based path..

I have a Samba share that I've created from a Linux box. I've mapped this sucessfully to drive in Windows 2003 server. I'm also able to read/write to it under Windows explorer just fine. It's using user security so I have to enter the username and password defined in the Linux box when connecting to this share. I then mapped a virtual directory under IIS to the UNC name of this

I am experiencing a strange problem that I hope someone out there has experience withf. We have a large fileserver running samba 3.6 backed by a 12T ext4 filesystem. We keep lots of VMware VMs on the filestore and I am trying to make some improvements to how we manage/launch/use the VMs. To that end, I've been trying to launch the VMs via the VMware VIX API by UNC path (not mapped drive).
