similar to: Why does Samba do reverse DNS lookups for clients?

Hello, I want to run Samba for my Win9x/Me clients. These clients all have a static logon name, which is the machine name, e.g. lab01, lab02, and so on. Now I want to have the following: I want to protect different Samba shares with different passwords, accessible from any computer, just like the normal Windows share does. Example: I share \\samba\sounds and \\samba\images To access the first

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

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

Hello all, This my first mail in this list. We have succesfully setup a samba server at our 1st attempt, next we go in another site and try the same things but now it seems we got it all wrong! The facts: we have a linuxbox (named enlogic) (REdHat 7, kernel 2.2.18, samba 2.0.7)and one winbox win98se (named ndemou). Our workgroup is localenlogic. No other PC (not even a Hub because we've

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

Hi everybody, I'm writing for an any help. I tried some news groups about linux etc... nothing :-( On our normaly working network unexpectly starts this problem. Win clients don't see smb server.

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

Hi Folks, I am running Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.6 and I have a bunch of write errors showing up in my log.smb file. Here are some of them: ---------------------------------------------- [1999/12/16 14:25:42, 1] lib/util_sock.c:client_name(997) Gethostbyaddr failed for 10.41.0.184 [1999/12/16 14:25:42, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(537) write_socket_data: write failure.

Hi folks, I have been trying to use the ADS as the IDMAP backend but without success. I have followed the examples in the HOWTO and Samba-3 by example. While both of these docs describe using LDAP as the repository, I have not been able to make the info work for ADS. I do not want to use LDAP nor ADS to authenticate Linux users, just for the UID/GID resolution. There will be multiple Samba

can someone with more samba knowledge then me tell me what this means in my log file? [2000/06/28 16:37:31, 1] lib/util_sock.c:client_name(997) Gethostbyaddr failed for 192.168.0.1 It doesn't appear to be a problem with samba itself but rather the way I have my network setup? any help would be appreciated.. the reason being I am having random connection problems with my cleint windows2000

I have Linux Server 7.0 running Samba with 1 nic ip 199.168.1.2 and the Win2k server with 2 Nic one having the DHCP ip from the DSL and other being my internal 199.168.1.1, Now I installed samba and setup a smb.conf file smbd and nmbd runs fine also testparam doe's not show any errors and when I run the smbclient on the same machine It's authenticates fine, but when I try to access

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

As I mentioned in a previous note, I'm a new Samba administrator. I'm trying to set up both roving profiles and system policies on the Win 95 machines in our computer lab here. I have used the policy editor (POLEDIT.EXE) to define a CONFIG.POL, which I have placed in the [netlogon] share. I also used a newly-installed Win 95 machine to create the exact *initial* configuration of desktop,

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.

doing something wrong by not registering our workstations with a DNS? I have been searching through the documentation today without finding anything relevant on the subject. When our PC's are configured via DHCP to use our caching only DNS, will they start looking up machines on our local network using DNS and forget everything about WINS and broadcast? It worked just perfectly for nearly

I have tried everything I can think of, including all of the remedies in the diagnostics site.

My problem is that I suddenly can't access my linux samba shares from XP or 98. It's worked all week and now - nothing. This also happened about one week ago, then returned to normal function almost by random. I can see the NetBIOS name in the correct workgroup, but not browse it or access any of its shares directly (\\linux\data for instance). I am running my network with a Cisco ADSL
