Hi, we use a Windows NT to authenticate our users and I have a subnet with a Linux server as the router for that subnet. I run samba-the-latest on Linux and I was told by a Microsoft guy that this server may be the cause of the security problem on the NT server. It seems that samba is corrupting the user database on the NT server and my network admin thinks that the Linux server is the cause.

Please excuse me if this has been covered, but I just noticed something odd with samba 2 beta 1. If I use smbclient to connect to a passworded resource on a win machine (I've tried it with 98/95) and I just hit enter for the password, it lets me in. No questions asked. So, I pretty much have unlimited read access to stuff I should not be able to get to. Best Regards. If this is the wrong

I am using samba-1.9.16p11 and have not been able to make browsing work from my 9.04 HP where it is on a switched ethernet segement alone. I have tried many combinations including remote announce to networks as well as Our NT Domain Server/ Win Servers. All to no avail. I am sure there is some key point I am missing. In fact my clients have to have DNS turned on in addition to WINS in order to

Hi folks, I have a curious problem when executing self extracting zip files from a samba share. Everything does work, but it is very very slow. Copying the .exe onto local disk (from the samba share) takes no time at all (500kb/sec). I would say it takes about 10 times as long to unzip when run directly from the samba share. This happens will all self-extracting exe files, and also from any share

I've installed Samba ("latest") on SCO's openserver 5 with a WIN'95 hanging off of it as a client. I can run every test in DIAGNOSI.txt except for number 2. That is, the WIN'95 box can not ping the SCO box within a reasonable amount of time. (SCO can ping the WIN'95 box fine). For the longest time I thought the WIN'95 box couldn't ping the SCO box but I

hi out there, first of all: samba is pretty cool! question: is there a way to synchronize the clock of my linux box to a win95 box (something like 'smbnet time \\win95 /set /yes')? cheers jodok ;----------------------------------- Jodok Sutterluety Austria, Vienna Tel: ++43 1 4080791 email: js@bonus.unterland.at ;-----------------------------------

I am getting a complaint that my Samba server running on Solaris 2.5 cannot be found from a user's PC running NT Workstation 4.0. Any suggestions? thanks, garrett curtis garrettc@eos.net

We fixed our own problem. Turns out that server taber is at service pack 1 and hyde is at service pack 3. In service pack 3 the smb redirector doesn't send unencrypted passwords without a registry entry to enable them. See article Q166730 at www.microsoft.com for details. This brings up another question. Is anyone out there using Samba with the encrypted passwords from NT 4? Ed Maple UNIX

Hello! I have a problem with samba. I run the freebsd samba-des port (samba-des-1.9.17.4) in a pretty much vanilla setting; home dir, a few shared dirs, no printing (yet). The problem is performance. While Samba is not terribly slow it's still too slow. Copying large files takes about half a minute/meg on an Ethernet LAN with no other activity. Trying to read a file using netscape

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

Hello! I read your notice about your problem with Windows NT and servicepack 3. Did you find any solution? I have the same problem: I can?t see other computers on the network when I?m running SAMBA. I would appreciate if you could help me. Leif Magnusson

Hello all, I have a recently discovered problem. It's creating a crisis. Most of my local GL is in Quicken. The Quicken data directory i on a Samba share on one of my Linux boxen. I am running p11. I use "force user" and "force group" to make sure that any entries are made under the same permissions and uuid. The "ledger" directory is shared out to two

Hello: I wonder if I could get a little help with random sampling in R. I have a vector of length 7375. I would like to draw 3 distinct random samples, each of length 100 without replacement. I have tried the following: d1 <- 1:7375 set.seed(7) i <- sample(d1, 100, replace=F) s1 <- sort(d1[i]) s1 d2 <- d1[-i] set.seed(77) j <- sample(d2, 100, replace=F) s2 <- sort(d2[j])

Hello root@inet.hkg.com, It looks like someone, at your end, is leaking SPAM into the Samba list. The apparent source of this SPAM is <inet.hkg.com> which, unbelieveably, is a real address. They are then relay-raping the Singapore Network to get it into this list. After careful deliberation, I have conciously decided to forward this one message into the samba lists. All future SPAM

Hello folks, Time ago I worked on a patch for dovecot to work with vmailmgr http://mij.oltrelinux.com/net/dovecot-qmail-vmailmgr/ The patch was required because, despite vmailmgr complies with the checkpassword interface supported by dovecot, dovecot snips the mailbox directory returned by the authentication module at colon characters ':'. Incidentally, vmailmgr maps any

Hi there, I''m now getting to the point in my rails app where I can use all of the nice basic features like AJAX and engines etc... but, I want to get my hands a bit dirtier, whilst learning to DRY up my code a bit. I''m using AJAX quite a bit to dynamically populate/edit/sort has_many relationships in forms, and consequently on a model with many has_many''s I end up
