(As I was composing this, the 2.6.1 release notice on the rsync list rolled in. The quoted source, below, hasn't changed, so I'll leave the 'pre-1' references unchanged...) I have a situation where an error message seems to be sent from the daemon to the client, but none is logged in the daemon's log. Daemon is 2.6.1pre-1, with --timeout=3600, light CPU load. Client is

Samba PDC system drive crashed. running 3.01. rebuilt system drive - kept the hostname the same, restored contents of /etc/samba, plus /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/password PDC isn't recognizing machines for SOME machines. Users appear fine. I know that I should have gotten the domain sid previously by doing "getlocalsid" and then restored it by doing "smbpasswd -W

Have a site where the network users are connecting to most shares through group usage. Unfortunately, access to Samba is sporadic. Sometimes they connect okay, sometimes they can't connect at all. Looking at their system config, I notice that the SID's for the groups look..... odd. The users group ends in 3005.... but each user's PrimaryGroupSID is a group with a SID that ends in

Experienced a server crash on a site that's using Samba 3.01 for a PDC, using tdb database. I have all of the information to recover Samba properly, including unix accounts, etc. However, can someone point me to a resource regarding recovery of linux user accounts and passwords? Thanks....

Samba 2.2.7-3.7.2 on Redhat 7.3 Have a samba server setup that has been running for over a year now..... fairly simple configuration - it is functioning as a stand=alone server with smbpasswd backend. Everything has been working properly until recently - now randomly some directories do not display their contents. There are files in the directory, I've checked the ownership/rights on the

question on pdbedit - when using it for a migration - existing data is stored in tdbsam. pbdedit -i tdbsam -e ldapsam It wants to take existing machine accounts and put them into an ou=Computers. I'd rather it put them in ou=People. Samba version is 3.09 Thanks....... Jon Johnston Creative Business Solutions IBM, Microsoft, Novell/Suse, Sophos Consultants http://www.cbsol.com

Hello! Was hoping to get some suggestion and ideas for a samba server I will be implementing here in the next couple of weeks. I have gone through the websites documentation, but I was hoping some of the veterans of samba could maybe lend some ideas, advice and recommendations. I will try to be as detailed as possible. The samba server would server roughly 50-60 people. We have 3, maybe 4

Hello. I'm hoping that you will provide some help with a Samba problem that I'm experiencing. We have an Alphaserver that has been functioning as the Samba-server in a Windows/NT Domain for about 5 years now. It was set up by an engineer here at Raytheon Missile Systems Company and he left the company about 2 years ago. I've inherited the administration of it. Last week

hi, I have an 20G archive of pic files which would have to be mirrored onto another server. It contains large JPEGs, around 10k files, one of the servers is located in Boston, the another is in Budapest, Hungary. I use rsync rsync://remote_box/remotedir localdir/ -zcvr --progress --size-only The issue is that the remote server sends the filelist very slow. Looking into the rsyncd process with

One topic I can't find in either Samba 3 by Example or the Offical Samba 3 Howto & Reference Guide is that of migrating from a Samba3 server to a newer Samba 3 server (meaning newer hardware in this case). We are currently using the smbpasswd backend. I plan to move to tdbsam but that hasn't been done yet. All of the servers in question are running either whitebox 3 or redhat 9

Running Samba 2.2.8a as a PDC, which will service about 40 people.(grow to about 60-70 by end of the year) They will also be accessing shares on the server from a program.

Hi all - I've searched long and hard for some docs on configuring a web proxy for rsync. This is probably in part an apache config question so I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. What I would like to do is provide anonymous rsync access to a handful of IPs via a web proxy so I don't have to punch additional holes in my firewall. In other words, I'd like to use rsync over

We are using rsync to transfer Oracle redo logs from one system to another over a WAN/VPN. The problem we are having is that 1 out of about 500 or so files sent is corrupted. The receiving Oracle server produces a message like this: --- Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL} ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors ORA-00368: checksum error in redo log block

Some of the data in names and string values were being unsafely printed, causing some types of XML processors to fail (e.g. Python's Expat). This patch checks for printability of each character and outputs base64 with an encoding attribute for unsafe data. --- xml/hivexml.c | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-)

Hello, I read the thesis about rsync and I would like to know if we can do something different with rsync. Imagine that I have one server that contains a set of data. This server is not very strong compare to the number of client that want to sync there data with the server. If we say that there s 1000 clients, each client, when sync, will send a list of keys to the server and the server must

Hello, I am having dreadful problems with Win2k workstations running Photoshop not being unable to save files to a new file server which we just installed for the direct purpose of serving graphics files. When trying to Save As a new file or Save an edited (existing) file we're getting a response that the disk is full, which is far from true because we have 1.6 TB free. This happens both

migrating a group of workstations to a Samba PDC-based domain. Machines join to domain fine, but when I try to copy the existing local profiles to the roaming profiles, I get a "Failed to set security on destination profile" - Access is denied" I have added the domain user to the local machine as an administrator. When attempting to do the copy, I am logged into the samba

Hi everyone, Please, can you guide me on what shall I do to be able to create and access files with filenames containing Windows-1250 (Central European) characters from Windows 98? It works with default Samba settings from NT but not from 98. I tried different combinations of almost everything and got all kind of confusing results - for example, I was able to create a file containing the
