similar to: SMB printing client driver data serving w/ Samba

Hi there, i have Samba 2.2.7a running on FreeBSD-STABLE 4.7. I set up a few things and smbd and nmbd start up at boot, i can browse the net. However, nmblookup can only find IPs by SMB-names, but not SMB-names by IPs. Here is an example output of the failed lookup: %nmblookup -d 3 210.104.1.133 Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file

I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

I am running RedHat8, samba 2.2.7 The mailing list archives seem to pin the 2gb problem on several unrelated issues (all of which i explored). The machines in question have no problems creating 2+gb files locally and via NFS. Is this an issue with smbfs? smbmount? anyone have a workaround? -- 'As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity

Hello All, I am using Linux6.0(running samba) as a file server on my network, everything is good when I configure samba authenticate on other machine such as WinNT4.0. But when I have configured samba authenticate on itself (security = user) I received message error "smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(506) Account for user 'david' was disabled". In this mode I created

Everything is working perfect on win95 but from NT4: I can create, delete and rename files I can create and delete directories Problem: I can't rename created directories from the NT4 workstations on the network. And this is a big problem since NT4 creates a "New Folder" and asks you to type in the name you want. I have a 2.0.6 distribution on a SGI Origin200 Irix6.4 server. I

Hello, I have a trouble. In my network i use PDC server on windows NT 4.0 server. And i have FreeBSD which is a router in my company. I've installed samba. my domain is 'ELST', NetBIOS name of PDC is 'BLACK-ANGEL' Then i do this smbpasswd -j ELST -r BLACK-ANGEL it tell's me that i joined domain. my

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 trying to move our network from windows NT-2k to Samba /Linux. So far everything is great but there is one main obstacle; when I apply permissions to a Samba share via my W2K workstation, the permissions instantly disappear. This happens regardless of the owner / creator of file or the user / group permission I attempt to add. I have run 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and now 3.0 beta3. All three behave

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

Our network is primarily Windows NT including a FreeBSD 2.2.5 server running a FreeBSD port of Samba 2.0.3. When I try to connect to the FreeBSD machine from my Windows NT workstation I get the following errors: using "net view \\NS1" Access denied. using "net use * \\NS1\tmp /user:hjohnson" and then entering my password The account is not authorized to login from this

Hi I am trying to setup remote printer management commands, so the users could add and delete printers from "Printers" share of Samba in Windows. I have this script, that is launched using an administrator account, when I add a printer from there, using a new TCP/IP port: ================================================================ #!/bin/bash {

I had originally written about this problem last month (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-November/085418.html) Since then, our company has added another Windows Fileserver which I'm trying to back up, and they are both having the problem. Because it happens on both servers, this leads me to believe it really is a problem with my Samba server. I've upgraded to 2.2.7a, as the

if i have a host with a particular ip address running as a domain master browser and registered as such with my wins server, and then i change the ip address of this host, does the old registration with the wins server eventually go away so that the new ip address can be registered? if so, how long should this take? how would one force the old ip address to be forgotten? -- Todd Pfaff

Hi All, I've tried everything I can think of, and spent many many hours trying to get this Sun Solaris 8 machine to authenticate with a Linux 7.1 machine acting as the PDC. In summary: Both machines are running 2.2.3a compiled from source without additional arguments (just ran configure on each platform) No problems with Win95, Win98, WinNT authenticating with the Linux PDC. The Sun machine

Hi all, Is there a command that emulates net view? I want to dump a list of all NetBIOS hosts actively on the LAN. Thanks, -- Christopher Barry Manager of Information Systems InfiniCon Systems http://www.infiniconsys.com office:610.233.ISIS (4747) direct:610.233.4870 cell:267.879.8321

You can test if winbind is able to resolve user IDs internally with "wbinfo -u". This uses the samba tool "wbinfo" to connect directly to the running winbind daemon and list all the Windows domain users. If that fails, then you have problems with the winbind daemon itself. The authentication between winbind and the PDC can be tested with "wbinfo -t", which is usually

I've recompiled samba 2.2.3a and still any time I do a ls -l in a directory where there are files from a PC I get the error : ld.so.1: ls: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/lib/nss_winbind.so.1: symbol socket: referenced symbol not found If I shut off winbind or take winbind out for my /etc/nsswitch.conf file, I can get a directory listing and it lists the users ID that winbind assigned to

Greetings group, I am looking for something from Samba that is similar to: nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx In Windows 95. This will give you back the registered name and some other Workstation info.

Dear folks, We are running SAMBA (2.0.5.a) in a test-enviroment using an IBM Risc 6000 / 370 (AIX 4.3.2) as server. The frontends are pc's running NT 4.0 (SP6). Is it possible to connect from one frontend to the same share as two different users (with different passwords and privileges)? The connection works out perfectly for every single user but when we try to connect one user after the
