Good Afternoon, We recently added encrypted smb passwords to our site. I just tried to add a printer to samba and it will not work. I tried to connect to \\sambahost\printer and it will not connect. All the older printers still work. I just wonder if there is an extra step I need to perform now when I add printers? Thanks for your time, Bill -- William M. Fennell Network Administrator

Hi All, I have a raw print queue configured in CentOS 4.4 for a printer connected to a Windows PC. The printer doesn't have a Linux driver of any sort, so this was the only way to print to it. The printer is an Okidata dot matrix printer. Users can print to it from a console application, but if they try printing to it from OOo Writer, the printer spits out reams of pages with what looks

Is there any way to change the default netlogon share from using z: in logon scripts? We use a Win95 time recording software package that uses the same drive mapping and need to put it on our RH6.1 fileserver but have the obvious conflict. Bit of a problem really. Thanks. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're getting very close now to having our RH6.1 server as we want it. Just a few anoying things left to iron out so we can trial it properly prior to going live. One of them is the "veto files" option in smb.conf. We want to stop users on Win95 clients from seeing (or deleting) the dot-files in their home shares. I've tried the above option, I've tried "hide dot

I have an installation where we're replacing a rather old Linux box with a new one that has no parallel ports. The old box has two parallel ports going to Okidata printers. The IOGEAR GUC1284B USB to Parallel Adapter cable looks like it might be a simple solution to this, but I would like to know that it works before getting a couple. Comments?

We're almost at the stage of rolling out our new RH6.1/Samba server - one last item. We have some 60 users and 7 departments. Can I use/how do I use a logon script to log groups onto the server. I currently have 1 logon script per user, but a small change in 1 share means updating every script. Can I log them on by group ID but still map their personal shares with the %U flag so I then

Hi, I have an issue in dos printing. My okidata dot matrix printer is directly connected to linux box and is a shared printer in samba . I am using lprng. My problem is with dos printing. When i print, it spools first indicated in the windows printer window. It takes a minute before it actually sends to the linux box, you will see an indicator of spooled bytes. Once it is submitted it prints

I am using Slackware 10.2 (kernel 2.4.29) and Samba 3.0.21c for my print server. The client workstations are WinNT4. I have two printers on the linux server..an HP DeskJet 600 and an Okidata B4250. I can install and print to the HP from any of the workstations. I can install the Okidata just fine, but when I try to print from Word, Excell, or any application Dr. Watson comes to visit. I get

Just curious, has anyone gotten Samba to work with Windows 2000? I've mucked with it a bit. But can't seem to make it go. I haven't tried applying the NT 4.0 Registry patches yet I will probably take a look at them and see if I can get them working with Win2000. Thanks! -- Steve "We confuse you, or your money back!"

We're trying to get samba running on a RH 6.1 server installation, runnijng as a trial. So far we can only see the server on 2 NT 4/SP4 workstations and not on the Windows 95 clients, and then only if we do a Start/Find/Computers. I can map a drive to a share, and can reconnect to it after rebooting the NT workstation, but can't see the server in Network Neighborhood. TCP/IP is

Hi, How do I stop this?

OK just out of curiosity I used the smbclient prog from FreeBSD to check upload and download speeds... downloading from win to unix gets ~3000k/sec and uploading from unix to win gets ~4000k/sec so the only problem is uploading from win to unix where it's like ~300-~400k/sec... It must be how xp sends its files not a prob with the server... does anyone know where this would be set and what it

Well I tried #freebsdhelp and got confirmation that this is just not happening to me but we couldn't figure it out there either... with: FreeBSD 4.5 Samba 2.2.2 | 100Base T Crossover link | Window XP Pro Upload win to unix speeds are around ~400k/sec Download unix to win speeds are around ~5000k/sec checked for net collisons (there are none) anyone find a fix for this?

the freebsd port tree version is dead because of the openh323 issues. before i start hacking, i am hoping someone else has a freebsd version that will build on -current. and i do not care about h232. dare i hope? randy

Hello again, althogh some of you already tried to help me, I still have the same problem: I'd like to test the new Samba 3.0 as a PDC for two Windows 2000 clients. My OS is FreeBSD 4.5 Can anyone help me with that ? I always get the errors : 'no user session key' and 'remote procedure call failed'. As I found out the error messages (on the clients) both change regularly.

G'day. I'm having a great time trying to get a whole heap of XP workstations (from what I understand, they've been hotfixed+windows updated+whatever else a few days ago) to authenticate against Samba running on a FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE box. Basically, I add user accounts, machine accounts (with both "pw" and "smbpasswd"), then I can get the XP machines to successfully

Despite the COMPLETE ABSENCE OF DOCUMENTATION* on the recycle bin vfs module, I'm still attempting to get it to work on FreeBSD 4.5. When I visit the examples/VFS directory, I cannot do a "make", despite libtool being installed. The error is: make: don't know how to make audit.so. Stop I have also discovered that even if I explicitly tell configure --with-vfs, vfs never gets

i've configured my FreeBSD 4.3 server to act as NT 4 on my local home network, however i've run into problems. I cannot pull a list of users from samba using the windows machines on the network (ie: user level access for shares), however i can log into the domain. i've read through my entire samba book (SAMS publishing) and searched through the samba site, but haven't found

Hello. I have a network with a server running Samba 2.2.5. I just recieved a laptop from Compaq with winxp on it. I already have a few winxp boxes on my network connecting to the Samba server just fine so I though setting up this laptop should be a breeze but after I change the required registry entries on this laptop (the "requires sign or seal registry entry to 0") It gives me the

Can/Will anyone suggest where (which file) to get the Samba 3? I am interested in seeing how well the Win2k AD integration is working. Thanks Daniel Curry IT Manager Cariocas 625 Second Street Suite 201 San Francisco, CA 94107 ph: 415-348-6516 fx: 415-348-6505 cell: 510-579-6680
