similar to: Can I browse the network through PPP?

Hi, first of all, my apologies for the very technical and long nature of this message... I still do not give up with the problem I am having about not being able to browse the Network Neighborhood sometimes. My original post to the list was: >I am using Windows 95 dial-up networking to connect to a Samba box (the >Samba box is a PPP server). I am having problems to browse the Network

Hi, I am the Debian GNU/Linux of the Samba package in this distribution. Today I received this bug report but since I don't use the authentication method this user mentions, I can't reproduce the problem. I heard Jeremy Allison said something about a bug in 1.9.18p8 regarding user mappings and posted a patch but since the patch is applied to the version of Samba this user is using, I am

We run a Network of Suns (running Samba) and PC-NT (version 4, sp3) machines, at work, and find it very annoying to be unable to change the file permissions of files from NT on the Suns. Is there any way to change the permissions from NT file explorer or otherwise ? Dave Kirkby

HI all, Question: I have a freeBSD box using smbprint to print on a HP jet direct printer attatched to a NT server. However the formatting is horrible and it only prints out about the first 2 lines of a file. Any suggesstions out there? thanks! -aaz

I am sharing some printers attached to Win95 boxes, and would like to be able to do more than connect from Linux with smbclient and print via translate. I would like to be able to specify a printcap entry for these so as to be able to print from pine or lynx or Netscape (when I get X running here at work). I haven't found anything in Samba docs or LDP docs yet to tell me how to write such

I just installed linux 2.1.85 on a Red Hat 5.0 box that was the 2.0.31 kernel. Now my smbfs is broken. When I try to access a share on another SMB box, I get: SMBFS: need mount version 6 smbmount returns "invalid parameter" error, IIRC. I've gone cross-eyed staring at DejaNews today, trying to find a solution to this, but so far only other people reporting the problem, and no one

Hello- I am in the process of upgrading our NT 3.51 to NT 4.0 but have run into a problem: We have Samba 1.9.14 running on a UnixWare 2.1 machine. With the NT 3.51 machines the Samba Serveris not visible in the Network Neightborhood, but it can be easily accessed by specifying where one wants to connect. NT 4.0 doesn't seem to have this option. So, 1) can someone tell me HOW to make

I was just browsing through my logs and noticed this many times: Dec 2 14:00:37 barney inetd[3021]: netbios-ns/udp: bind: Address already in use netbios-ns should run on port 137/udp right? This is the samba nmbd server, right? When I do a ps -fe |grep nmbd I see this: root 708 1 0.0 Nov 26 ?? 3:52.39 nmbd -n Alpha_1000 root 709 708 0.0 Nov 26 ??

My original message follows... Well, it would seem that my problem was that nmbd was somehow running as a daemon. Looking at the process IDs the first nmbd had a parent process of 1, not as the ID of inetd. I don't know HOW that happened, the only place nmbd is referenced is inetd.conf. I killed the main nmbd process, sent a HUP signal to inetd, nmbd started again and I haven't had a

We are using samba with a NT4.0 Primary Domain Controller as a samba password server. Logon validation on the primary domain controller works fine, the NT machine validates the user password. BUT: On the NT PDC the event log shows numerous entries saying: Unknown user or wrong password Did anybody experience this too ???? Rainer von Bongartz /D/I/L/ rainer.von-bongartz@dil.de

Hi, I've been running a Linux machine (RedHat 4.1 kernel 2.0.27) with Samba 1.9.16p9 (built by RedHat) for about 1 year now. Everything has been working just fine, but recently I increased the number of users. When I get to about 75 users the whole system goes down, with messages like: Unable to load interpreter No more processes File table overflow If I manage to kill Samba, the system

I've got a user that wants an Access database shared out. I've got a decent machine serving out the directory (300 MHz Pentium II) running RedHat 5.0 (kernel 2.0.34) with Samba 1.9.17p4 (RPM is samba-1.9.17p4-3). I've created a simple share entry in the smb.conf file: [global] debug level = 1 browsable = yes comment = Samba under Linux (RedHat 5.0) domain master = yes

Hi, I installed CentOS 3.3 and kept the machine up2date. I installed poptop and the newest ppp-cvs version ( ppp-2.4.3-0.cvs_20040527.6) We are running a ssh + ppp tunnel for our internet tunnel/tunnel to our NOC. After the upgrade we see these error messages while starting the tunnel: Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp-compress-26 Jan 24 15:00:40 natgw

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the string that appears in browser lists restricted to being a single string without spaces, or can you include spaces ? I have samba v1.9.15p8 running on a SGI O2 system, and I'm accessing its filesystems from a W95 PC. I started off with the following line in my /etc/init.d/samba script NMBD_OPTS="-C11th Floor SGI O2" which results in

Hi, I'm trying to connect to my samba server over a PPP connection (which is actually a PPTP VPN connection). I've got the PPP link configured and the routing setup so I can ping back and forth between the server and client, and I can also make tcp connections over the link. The server which samba is running on has a LAN connection in addition to the PPP connection, and I can connect to

Dear all I have ported the pppoatm.c plugin for ppp version 2.3.x to the 2.4.1 ppp. I am however having problems to decide what is the right place where to send it. I did look at http://www.samba.org/ppp and this seems to be the home page for ppp Then I did look for a mailing list the only one I have found is majordomo@vger.kernel.org but I really don't know if that is official for ppp

Has anyone been able to do domain logins via a PPP link? If so, how? I am running FreeBSD 3.2. I have 2 network interface cards on the machine, one to the internet, one to my local network. I am running ipfw (firewall support), as well as nat (network address translation). I have a ppp link which I am able to connect to. Once connected via ppp, I can ping/ftp/telnet to any machine on my

Hi all, I'm trying to do the following (ASCII art diagram viewable in fixed-width font at end of message): Take 2 private LANs, seperated by the internet, and bridge them by creating a bridge from 2 ethernet devices and a ppp interface tunneled over ssh between the two linux boxes concerned. The setup on each of the two networks is nearly identical, and is as follows: The network has
