The HP OpenView documentation recommends the use of PCNFS for connecting Windows-based (Management Consoles) to the HP OpenView databases on a UNIX-based (Management Server) system. However, I thought it would be neat if I could use SAMBA instead of having to install PCNFS on all of the NT systems. Anyway, the SAMBA installation went fine, and I can connect to the UNIX system using NT

Hello, Has anyone done any performance comparisons with other protocols? SMB <--> PCNFS <--> NFS I'm interested if SMB (ie: Samba) has any performance issues. Anyone have any statistics or know of how to go about doing such tests? Would appreciate any input. Thanx. --Joe

This means that when a person logs into the samba server it will execute this file. You should possibly put this file on your NT server that's currently the PDC in the netlogon share there though, which would mean that presuming that samba authenticates ok back to the NT box, your users will transparently get a whole new bunch of drives, and won't need to worry about password maintenance

Hi, I've been looking for a way to stop users creating new sub-directories under a top level (shared) directory - which will need to contain 3 readymade directories and/or to stop users placing files outside the 3 readymade directories. Is this at all possible ? Got a really basic system - Slackware 8.0 and Samba 2.2.8a running purely as a fileserver for Win2k clients. Thanks Mike

How does a Window's user change thier password on a Unix based Samba server. I know they can login to the unix box and use smbpasswd(8). But these users are MS Windows users and I hate to have to explain what a command prompt looks like. Unfortunately I don't know enough Windows. Is there such a client feature built into the Windows, how do they do it against a PDC? If no solution is

Hello, I discovered a bug or undocumented behavior in normalizePath steps to reproduce: execute normalizePath on a folder link on windows. When you are on a non-english windows box, you likely have links in place for windows' default folders, e.g. "C:\Programme" linking to "C:\Program Files" on german windows boxes. Thus executing

Dear all, I guess there were a lot of posts about this subject, but Im really stuck & prefer start a new thread hoping that some of you won't mind re-posting to help the Samba NewBie that I am. well, here is my situation: - more than 1000 users on a hetegenous network, One Domain & the need to keep only one. - I need my Linux Boxes' users to get authenticated against a single

Hello, I am trying to run the following model: domi ~ type*ratio+((1|id)+(0+type|id)+(1|face_id)+(1|car_id)) My question is whether the data coding for "face_id" and "car_id" variables is correct. As you see on the following sample data structure, "type" is repeated measure where 1=car, 0=face. Thus, I coded "face_id" as "0" when the type is 1

I have been having a heck of a time trying to setup samba with "security = share" I have the following shares and related config files defined yet windows 95/98 clients get password rejected when trying to connect to the shares. However I have found that if I call the share the same as the user in the valid user parameter the can connect fine. I have tried the "username map"

I just installed samba4 on ubuntu 14.04 from de repositories: # samba --version Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu I wanted to make a backup but *samba_backup* was missing, so I download 4.1.7 using Git and configured it. The problem is it isn't working, tar is stopping because it refuses to create and empty file. I tracked it to the second *tar* in the script, and *echoed* it: # samba_backup

We are moving from a PCNFS client to SMB client environment and hence moving from NFS for our Sun fileservers to Samba. I have seen figures indicating Samba is as good NT for SMB service. However what we are concerned with is: a) relative performance of Samba vs Sun's NFS b) loading on servers with lots of active connections (and hence lots of smbds). Do you need more memory than with

I have set up my samba server to act as the domain controller of my domain. When I try to join a windows workstation to this domain, the machine can actually see the domain but when I type in my root and root password, I get the message "wrong Usename or password" When I change encrypt password option to NO option, the message "Account not allowed to be used in this workstation

Hi, i have set up a fileserver with samba 3.5.11-44 from SerNet on a 64Bit centos 5.6. I joined our microsoft domain an everything seems to bee o.k. But when i change a group membership on the AD side, the mapping on the linux side is wrong. For example i have a user "GN" which is member of the group "nwo-ke". Then i and him to "nwo-k" but this doesn't show up

Last night I was having some bizarre problems with my USB ports. I couldn't access one of my scanners, and when I started moving plugs around, it seemed as though I lost more peripherals. For some reason, I did NOT lose the laser printer, but my one scanner and my scan/fax/printer disappeared and wouldn't come back. I figured it might be the automounter, so I tried plugging in a USB

ok, I have moved home out of the way and restarted automounter.. and now I see the /home directory appear when autofs is started, but there is still nothing there..

Hello, I just started evaluating Samba 4 AD DC for a Mixed Environment of Linux and Windows client machines. What I have so far is 3 Machines in a virtual environment: A Windows 7 client machine A Debian GNU/Linux (7.0) client machine A Debian GNU/Linux (7.0) server running Samba4 AD DC Yet missing from the setup is a fileserver providing Samba Shares for Windows and NFS4 for Linux. While

Dear All, We are in the process of evaluating Samba to provide SMB access to unix file storage for a few hundred PC's. One of our tests is to save a Word97 document - something that has caused various PCNFS clients problems in the past. While saving the document the client stopped and said something like connection lost, or seesion closed, and the drives mapped from the samba box
