similar to: AW: Samba across subnets?

Hi all, I've recently set up a samba server, but just discovered that people on the "other" side can't reach it. The system shows up in Network Neighborhood, but you can't double click on it. It returns a message saying that the server is either inaccessible, or that I misspelled the name (How I did that with just one mouse click is beyond me ;) I had 'allow

You must create a output filter. Edit /etc/printcap and add your client printer like this: ... PC-PRINTER:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PP01:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/Filter/PP01:\ :sh: ... Adjust the printcap parameters as needed (spool directory, directory to find the filter script). Make sure the lpd can access the directory. Consult your manual. Now create the filter

The Samba FAQ mentions a program called timesync to update the system clock on clients from the server. The download address in the FAQ is out of date - where can I get a copy ?

Hi everyone, I'm running Samba 1.9.18p10 and it works great. But I can't get it to announce to other subnets that are on the other side of a router. I've added "remote announce = 192.168.1.255" to smb.conf (my machine is in 192.168.0.0 subnet) and there are no other NT machines in any of the subnets. What should I look for? Thanks, Joe

I've exactly the same problem. My config looks similar to yours: 1 samba as wins server (wins support=yes" on one segment, 1 samba as "wins server client" (wins server = xxx). The "wins server client" never discards machines from segment 1. I looked at the browse.dat and the wins.dat on the server on segment 1. There are no entries of the shutdowned maschines. Only in

Hi ! Starting the smbd, I get the following output in samba.log and i cannot connect to samba (from Win95): [1999/10/05 09:47:27, 2] interface.c:(213) Added interface ip=129.103.47.94 bcast=129.103.47.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 [1999/10/05 09:47:27, 1] files.c:(216) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are available.

Hi, I've been looking through the news archives but haven't found this.. Perhaps I just didn't see the forest for the trees... :) My question is about the format of text files. Files created on Linux show up on Windows (via samba) without the newline. Is there a parameter setting that I'm missing? How do I get compatibility between the two? Thanks, Mike -- "My Humility

I have an Access application that work with some shared database file. The file is ~ 3 Mb. Since I have a Linux system with Samba, this application work very slow. I have multiple user with win95 on this file. Is there an option for allowing multiple access without cache ? any other idea ? Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ S?bastien HEITZMANN

Hi! I've installed RedHat 6.1 on a Pentium 233. I'm using samba 2.0.5a which came with RH6.1. On another PC (Pentiun-II 400) I've installed Windows NT 4.0. These two PC's are connected to the same network. I've configured Samba to share the home directories on the Linux System. I'm able to reach my own homedir from NT. Within NT I've assigned this share to drive L.

Hi Federico, many thanks to you. This patch helped me too. Do you know the intention of the original changes by the samba team in ipc.c. I don't think, it is a good idea to store all profiles in an separate directory and the user registry in the home path. Thanks again Rudolf Rudolf Kollien email: Rudolf.Kollien@medas.de Rudolf.Kollien@kollien.de

Hi there everyone, I recently upgraded to 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a in a hope to improve data integrity (I was having oplock_break problems that would affect the integrity of a lot of Excel files). So far so good with the oplock_breaks (even with oplocks reenabled). :-) However, I've started having problems with the clients' Windows profiles not being placed in my defined logon path.

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

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

I think, it's a good idea to control the binds of the smbclient as it's possible on smbd.

samba does the SMB(!) authentication against machine "a" but you MUST have equal users on ALL machines. How else should samba create files on the unix file system if there is no UNIX user to deal with? It is not a problem of samba, it's a "problem" of unix. The only trick to do this would be to create a dummy unix user and do a "force user" to this dummy on every

Hi all, I've been running a Samba server here for over 6 months now will great success. This past weekend I moved the Samba server to a new subnet, and now I can't see any of the various aliases from Samba server. I was previously able to see the aliases in NN across my 2 different subnets by using the 'wins server = ' parameter. The wins server I was registering with is on yet

Just wondering if there is a way to get drive namings to change according to who's logged into the network. ie. 'bob' logs into windows networking and gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. Now if 'sue' logs into windows networking on the same pc she gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. But E: contains sue's stuff. So is there a way into making 'sue'

Hi, this is a new user who is trying to reach the local network, managed by a windows NT server. I have edited my smb.conf file (which I include) so to be able to reach the network drives and the printers on the ntserver locally. When I try to see what is available using smbclient at the prompt, I cannot see which are the Services available (sharename fields empty), but I do see a lot of things

Hi James, we use some NFS mounted shares on our Linux-SCO-network. Samba runs on the linux box. The linux server mounts some NFS shares from the SCO server. The access error should not be a samba failure. Make sure that the directory above the mountpoint is accessable for user nobody (chmod o+x , if you upgrade to samba > 1.9.18p7 make sure that there is read permission on the directories too:
