similar to: Win95 Full System Backup to Samba box?

Using rw0642 under win95, on executing from a directory on the c: drive: system("command.com /c dir", intern=T) there is a whirring from drive a: (empty), then the message appears in a dos box: General failure reading device aLP!!? Abort, Retry, Fail? Repeating the command a few times finally results in success with no whirring, after which there are no failures (even

Is there anyway to ascertain what shares a client actually has mounted at a given time? I've got a number of WFW boxes connecting shared drives on my SCO-OSE3 box using SAMBA 1.9.16p5 (upgrading to latest version RSN). I've got some shell scripts on the Unix box which use escape sequences sent to the client telnet to start programs on the client side. Some of these programs assume

To all, Can SambaTar backup multiple "pc's" at once ? I have 5 Win95 machines with 9 different drive partitions. What would be the proper syntax ( if any) to specify multiple pc and multiple share names ? I would like to do one complete backup on a single 4mm DAT tape. Is there a better way to do this using Samba ? I am using Samba version 1.9.17p4 running on Sun Solaris 2.5.1

My server is RH 5.2 and i use Samba 1.9.18p10 and the client use WFW 3.11 with tcp/ip protocols installed. The subnet and the IP Address is right but I still only telnet form WFW 3.11 to Linux...not the reverse. On Linux telnet is working. I've checked it through this cmdline "telnet localhost 23 or telnet 127.0.0.1" . And I also testparm smb.conf and nothing wrong happen. FYI I set

Hello everybody, I'm using Samba Version 1.9.17p3 on an IRIX 6.2-based workstation and because I still have the same problem with the shares on the PC-box (I'll send my report to samba-bugs too), I need workaround in order to get the smbtar process running. Here's my problem (I hope it's not too long): I can see what's being shared by the Win95 box where I want to make the

Hi all, We (the Samba Team) need some feed back from our user community. Anyone want to help out? All you need to do is post us a one liner. Tell us if you want 8 character length limited print share names or larger. If you really must have longer print share names - then how many characters? Should we limit the length? Background: >From time to time we receive patches to increase the maximum

Hi all, I want to move a filesystem off of my NT server over to my Network Appliance NFS server to then be shared via Samba. I assume the easiest way to accomplish this would be to use smbtar. Do I then use smbtar to extract the tar file I create with smbtar, or, can I use gnutar? Does it matter? Am I safer sticking with smbtar? I'm guessing that since smbtar is a wrapper around

this isn't strictly a samba question, but it is related in that i'm trying to a samba server as my domain master browser and multiple samba servers as local master browsers for a workgroup across multiple subnets. everything seems to be working wonderfully except for one WfWG host which does not show up in the browse list as expected. i notice that this host is announcing itself as a

Hi all, Situation: We use smbtar for backups, incrementals done using -N <last date file>, and this has worked well with samba 2.2.x After upgrading to 3.0b3, using the -N (newer) option to smbtar causes a bad interaction with smbclient. Eg,: # smbtar -s PC -x Share -u User -p Pwd -d / -t - -N last-backup -v gives (if you print out the eval at the end of smbtar script): eval

I downloaded the 'seatools for DOS' diskette creator on seagate website. it's a windows program that creates the diskette; so a floppy disk must be present in the drive. running the program is ok, but creating the diskette fails, it says "the current diskette format not valid". while the diskette is blank, vfat, mounted and linked to a: in wine; so everything seems to be ok.

I am attempting to pipe the output of smbtar into gzip in a script. The problem that I have is that smbtar echo's out "Params count: 11" before sending the information out to gzip. This causes the tar file to have a "tar: directory checksum error" error. Is there any way I can get smbtar not to report the Params count? The following is the command I am using.

Hi out there again, i just installed Samba-2.2.3a as a PDC on a Solaris-Box (2.6) and encounter Problems with Windows95 Logons. log.nmbd says: [2002/02/25 15:38:52, 1] nmbd/nmbd_processlogon.c:process_logon_packet(69) process_logon_packet: Logon from 10.170.20.8: code = 0x0 And Windows95b states: Invalid parameter.

I was using smbtar to test backing up an NT server, everything works fine except that for quite a lot of the files it has an error downloading them(probably 2/3 of them actually). All it says is : Error reading file \dir\dir\file. Got 0 bytes Didn't get entire file. size=533, nread=0 I could see this happening if the file were opened exclusively such as the paging file, but to my knowledge

Hi. I wanted to set diskless win95 but I read the list archives and I decided not to do it diskless. So I tried diskless windows but I got a problem. I do this. 1.- I did booting images with bootware proms. 2.- I managed to install DOS clients from microsoft. That was painfull because the one I downloaded from MS didn't connected to my samba server. I used a dos clients that creates a NT

Hi, I recently upgraded to 1.9.18p8, and noticed that smbtar no longer automatically includes system files. I can't seem to find a way to include the 'tarmode system' command in the smbtar shell script. If I add a -c "tarmode system" to the $SMBCLIENT command line at the end of the smbtar shell script, I get no tarred files at all. Can anybody help me with this?

I have two Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server with 2x 3,0 GHz P4 and 4 GB RAM. On each server rsync runs as cygwin daemon (rsync version 2.6.6; protocol version 29). The two servers are connected through a 2 MBit VPN link. When I sync a single large file or a whole directory, rsync only uses 50% of the available bandwidth. When I do the same between windows and linux server, rsync takes the
