Hello, Sorry, there was an mistake in my previous mail. FileListBox with VisualBasic 5.0 (32Bit) and NT4.0SP3 displays only files if directoryname is shorter than 9 character. I am using Samba1.9.18.p3. The problem doesn't occur if the connected services is on an NT-Plattform. Does anybody know a solution to this problem. Or hasn?t anybody had this problem yet and am I just goofed ?

Hello, freebsd-security. I'm trying to build 4.8-RELEASE-p7 to distribute it trought my clients. What am I doing: #cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup #cvsup standard-supfile (after I've done necessary changes) #cd /usr/src #make buildworld Thus, I have /usr/obj "populated with the output of ``make buildworld''" as it described in man 7 release. Then, I have read

Apologies if this is off-topic and if you could point me to the right place to ask this questions, I would greatly appreciate it. I have just taken over our department's system where we have a couple of UNIX servers running samba to share user home directories on NT clients. My system admin is trying to upgrade to WINS server and had trouble with my UNIX server host name that have

Folks, I did a basic install of 2.0.5 yesterday and I was wondering type of configuration I'd need to modify to enable users in another subnet access to the test server. I tried modifying the lmhosts files on the client computer, but with no success. -ken

Hi, I'm trying to connect to a share on a linux box from a win98 (or win2k) machine through an SSH tunnel. The documentation found on the subject says to setup an entry in LMHOSTS file in the form of: 127.0.0.1 sambaserver #pre checking the status of the cache with NBTSTAT -c after doing a NBTSTAT -R does not show the entry for "sambaserver" If I put any other

I'm trying to get hosts on other side of non-broadcasting router to login to a samba server. I have successfully mapped a specified driver from such a host to samba, but when trying to login to a domain am unsuccessful. Found a document on SCO site ( SCO Advanced Server Administrator's Handbook ) that says that services that can't be discovered via broadcast ( on other side of router

Hi there, I've got 2 remote 2.0.6 servers, with exactly the same charasteristics (I believe) I've the following entrys in my lmhosts file: 192.168.7.20 haarlem #PRE #DOM:truckland 192.168.4.20 zaandam #PRE #DOM:truckland When I search for a computer with the name haarlem i get a result, but when I try to find zaandam it says 0 computers found... What could be the problem?

I have nmbd set up to act as a WINS server. As far as I can tell from the docs, WINS should reply for queries that it can then lookup in the supplied lmhosts file. Unfortunately, it does not appear to do this; it only knows its own name when queried (and the domain name entry) but none of the entries that are in the lmhosts file. the debug output of nmbd doesn't reveal much (and doesnt even

Hello Someone who has working lmhosts please tell me where it is (i.e., the path). I RTFMd man lmhosts and: 1) man hosts tells: SYNOPSIS: /etc/hosts. 2) man lmhosts doesn't tell anything about the path. 3) man lmhosts: "It is very similar to the /etc/hosts file format" - does it mean that the similarity is also in the placement of the file? 4) All config files are in

Dear all, I'm setting up a wins server configuration with Samba 3.0.24 ### interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24 bind interfaces only = Yes name resolve order = lmhosts host bcast preferred master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ### Before setting dhcp to instruct the clients to use this wins server, I'm trying to make certain it's working correctly. The command:

Has anyone had any luck with lmhosts. I'm trying to avoid using the -I 192.168.1.10 to identify a Win95 machine when using smbmount Is there an option I need to set in Samba to tell it to use /etc/lmhosts?

this may be a remedial question, but uh, what's /etc/lmhosts supposed to be? smbclient always complains that it doesn't exist... should it? thanks... -E

First, thanks for all the replies to my plaintive cries for help; some of this gets a little frustrating when you're trying to do it from the seat of one's pants (as it were). Also, a big thanks to the samba team members (one of these days, I'll have to look into that pizza voucher thing...). I looked through all the docs, mail archives, etc, and the only references to the

I've just installed Samba on Solaris 2.6 and am getting the following lmhosts error: *********************** # cd /usr/local/samba/bin # ./smbclient -L myservername Added interface ip=209.249.20.87 bcast=209.249.20.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts.

Hi All, Probably simple question: I want to make a share for sharing an lmhosts file which gets included by the clients. This share has to be very public and accept nullsessions (whatever that me be (no username and password?)). I want this because I need to generate aliases on the fly for for our fileserver for some clients (terminalservers specifically). So I thought that having an server
