similar to: unable to browse... (after hours of thrashing :-(

I plead complete ignorance. I have 2 Win98 boxes and a Win2K box trying to access a Samba 2.08 server running on OpenBSD 2.8. All IP addresses are hard coded with the IP of the Samba box as the Wins server (see the smb.conf) The Win2K box can resolve the name of the Samba machine but cannot map to it. The other boxes can't resolve the name. All are set to the same workgroup. [global]

Server: Linux 2.2.10 samba-2.0.5a-1 (rpm) Client: Win98 inside vmware1.0.2 using hostonly networking. Problem: 'Unable to browse the network' I have worked my way through the tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt, and all tests pass. If I run Test 9 "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP" from a MS-DOS prompt, then I can see my linux /tmp directory in x:. BUT if I just log in to Windows

We are using Windows 95 OSR 2 clients here in our lab in conjunction with Samba 1.9.18p10 on Linux kernel 2.0.35. We are getting intermittent login failures that I can't figure out. The user will type their username and password in, hit OK, and the system will respond, "The domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied." If the user

First, I want to thank Mark Clement and Steve Litt for their comments. But as the subject indicates, i'm still not having any luck printing. Mark, I can't even get output to a test file. Below is a printout of testparm. One thing that *is* odd, is the reference to a "printers.def" file in /etc. There wasn't any such file there. The contents are a duplicate of the

Hello All, I have two computers. I want the Linux box to act as an SMB server for the NT box. I only need plain text passwords right now. I modified the NT Registry to support this. But I can't even do a loopback on the Linux box with smbclient. See below: [gsw@pagestreet ~]$ smbclient -L pagestreet Added interface ip=192.168.0.1 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password:

I thought I had this configured correctly, but it stopped working when I rebooted the other day. I looked through the archives and tried all the stuff that looked relevent, but to no avail. I have a redhat 6.0 server running samba-2.0.3, and a bunch of windows98 clients. I'm trying to serve a shared directory with basicly /tmp permissions and my printers. my server, Biz, shows up in the

Hello! I'm having a problem, and I haven't got a clue why it has happened. In my homedirectory (as well as everyone elses) empty directories are created with named for example: "arbst-.6Gp7e1" all the dorectories it creates start with "arbst-." and thats also the name all the clients have (arbst-06 for example). Why does it create these directories and how do I make

Hi: We have a network of Unix (Solaris 2.6) and windows 95 machines. We currently run samba v1.9.18p10 on one of the unix machines to share user's home directories, and a common directory for projects (/doc). Our Win95 machines work fine when it comes to accessing the unix machine's data. We recently added an NT 3.51 machine (running Citrix WinFrame, fyi) to the network. Using the

Hello, I'm a samba novice ;( Saw your "detailed" responses to another newbie questions so I thought I give you a shout :) Here is my setup: I've got 2 Linux boxes. One is running Ypserv and handles the authentication, the other is a 486 33mhz running ypbind(slave) and it is my printserver. The print server is also running 1.9.18 samba release as a daemon (smbd -D). It

Hi, I have installed samba-2.0.0 on Digital Unix 4.0d. Now other unix boxs and Win98 clients can find the samba server. But my nt box can't find it. When issued the "net view \\hostname" (the hostname is where the samba server is on), I got the following error message: " System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found. " Can you give any hints on this?

Hi all I've googled but not found any thing on the problem I'm having. I'm contracting with a utilities company that uses General Electric's ENMAC software. This runs on RHEL4 and makes use of Samba but it only works with Samba 1.9.18p10 compiled with this patch: --- diff -Naur samba-1.9.18p10/source/includes.h samba-1.9.18p10_good/source/includes.h ---

Hi ! I have a problem after changing NT sp3 to sp4 and Samba from 1.x to 2.0. Now 20% of file transfers crashes with errors: [1999/01/29 09:34:37, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(138) error packet at line 1540 cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) eclass=1 ecode=6 What's that?

Dear Samba Support, Currently I'm using redhat 6.2 with kernel version 2.2.14-5.0 and samba server version : samba-2.0.6-9 I have configured our samba server as member of NT domain. Everything works well, ie: I can join to PDC server and also mount our file server into our samba server But everyday in our samba server on file /var/log/messages, I got messages: Aug 30 14:49:49 ultest

Hi, I recently upgraded to 1.9.18p8 on Solaris 2.6 and am having a problem with writable services other than [homes]. [apps] is one that's causing the most difficulty. Users are being logged into writable shares as user 'nobody' and are not permitted write access. The shares are set as 'writable' and 'write ok'. host equiv does not have an effect either. All hosts

Hey folks. I have samba 2.0.7 running just fine on a freebsd server. I have file shares that work just fine for my windows clients. I have set up a deskjet 842C on the freebsd box and I can print to it just fine. Im using apsfilter with it. I have the printer set up and I can see it from my windows clients, but print jobs submitted to the queue never get printed. Im not sure wether to use bsd mode

Hello Samba Developers, Recently I've caused an endless loop in Samba, which caused the log file to fill up all usable disk space. This is what I've done ( or better, what I think I've done, because the bug is not reproduceable ) : - Mounted my home directory via Windows Explorer under Windoze NT. - Logged into account under same name on same machine ( bash ) - created a soft link

Okay, I've run through all of the tests in the DIAGNOSE, which my 1.9.18p1 SAMBA server (and NT4SP3/W95 clients) pass with flying colours. server box: Linux 2.0.33, gcc 2.7.2.2, libc 5.4.33, shadow, quota on (usr+grp), and my smb.conf is summarised (by testparm output) below: Problem is this: with respect to programs not long filename-aware/compliant, users cannot "double-click" on
