similar to: Win 95 Policy Nightmare Part 1

The Samba set up we're using to support 25 or so Win 95 clients is working well, but my users are usually not up to complicated tasks. Has anyone found a way to get logging out down to a single action (like, Start/Logout), instead of Start/Shutdown/Close all programs and log in as another user/Yes? I'm tired of explaining this already! :) Daryl Daryl Biberdorf darylb@superserve.com

Regarding my earlier message (attached), the actual problem appears to be that regardless of the policy settings (even removing CONFIG.POL on the server!), I can't add File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks as a client service on the Win95 client computer! How can I re-enable this? Daryl ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 20 Oct 1998 20:08:50 -0400 From: Daryl L.

According to the Samba docs, there's really no good way to have Windows stop asking "You haven't logged on here before. Would you like your settings saved?" or whatever nonsense it actually says. However, due to headaches getting profiles COPIED and not merged with local copies as well as privacy concerns, I'd like to blast the profiles subdirectory constantly. But that

We're running Samba 1.9.18p10 under Linux (kernel 2.0.35) to provide services to 25 or so Win95 clients (Win 95 OSR 2). We currently have the users telnet to our Linux server to change their passwords. If the user puts any uppercase characters in their password, Win 95 will not log them in. Mail (via IMAP) works fine, so the UNIX passwd database appears to be OK. I looked over the

I have been using Samba 1.9.18p8 in a Solaris 2.6 machine for months but suddenly this week there is a problem. Nothing's changed. I have some persistent connection of my NTSP3 client to the samba share. When I login as usual, it fails to mount the drive. It either prompt for password but whatever password the samba rejects, or give a "Access is Denied" when you try to access the

We have been looking for a way to notify our users when they are running low on disk quota, without sending them mail. WinPopup actually seemed like the best way, so my partner began looking at feeding quota output into smbclient -M when quota was getting tight. The only problem is that smbclient -M frequently fails to find the client's host name. The -I parameter will often fix it, but I am

Hi, We are using kernel 2.4.24, tcng version 10b. I''m trying to do some policing in the ingress queue of the internet device. Until now we had configured some filters dividing traffic into queues, and on these queues the Double Leaky bucket meter was applied. The idea is to have a minimum of bandwidth assigned per class (the cir values) and a maximum (pir values), just as with the

I don't understand why nchar() gives different string lengths for vectors in a list than it does for vectors in a dataframe. Here's a snippet of code: > temp <- list(text=c("thug","jimbob","apple","thug"),numbers=1:4) > nchar(temp$text) [1] 4 6 5 4 > temp <- data.frame(temp) > nchar(temp$text) [1] 1 1 1 1 Could someone explain

Hi, I wanted to configure the following : 1. VPN + some other special connections (TCP 82,8282,23,22 and ICMP) to have priority over the rest 2. special upstream for our updating system on port 4000 3. within the VPN tunnels citrix traffic ( TCP 1494, 2598) + icmp has priority I need this for both incoming and outgoing traffic as it is the bandwith managment config on a central system from

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

-------------- next part -------------- Hello everybody!!! First of all I must say that I'm not an English speaker, so this text may sound a little extrange. I apollogize..... Well, I'm having problems with the SMB printing system. I have spent a lot of time (nearly 15 hours and a houndred of configurations) in it but I could not use it as a printing server.

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

Hi We are using a Debian 1.3.1 server (two Ethernet-Cards) with 18 Clients. The Clients remote-boot from the server using mars_nwe(Novell-Server emulation). Under Windows (WfW 3.11) the Clients user the Microsoft 32-bit Tcp-Stack to access the samba-server( 1.9.18p7). The problem is that the clients can't see the samba-server in their browse-lists, nor can they access the server with net

Dear All, we have shared a directory which includes several subdirectories from a Unix server. Browsing the subdirectories on an Windows 3.11 Client leads to an unestimated result. All files in the second subdirectory-level are invisible. The files in the first subdirectory-level could be accessed normally. This is only a problem on WfW Clients, browsing the directories on a NT host leads to no

Hi, Sorry if this is the documentation somewhere; however, I need a little tutorial help on howto configure a Wfw client for Samba: I have two samba servers, 1.9.18p2, on a couple of our Sun machines running Solaris 2.3. I know how to gain access from various Win95 machines in our group; however, I was requested to set up access for a Win3.11 machine today, and I'm kinda stumped. This

Hi, we're having quite a strange problem with our Linux samba (1.9.18p10) server: when doing a directory list from a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Client all files an directories appear except <.> and <..>. While this is not a serious problem when using ?dir?, some applications (e.g. Ami Pro 3.1) seem to rely on these entries. In the file dialogues this particular application does

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
