We are having a problem with Microsoft visual C++ compiling source code maintained on a samba server. Occasionaly the compiler reports that it cant open the file vc50.pch. The samba server is running on a freebsd box. Taking a look at the log files it looks like when the operation fails the server is processing the command open (vc50.pch for exclusive use write setattrE write open (vc50.pch

Hi everyone, We use samba 2.0.4 and are very glad of it. However, recently I had to add a backup facility on our network, so we plan to purchase Arcserve IT for NT, in order to backup our servers. We are using mainly 3 Linux servers and 1 NT server, which runs the backup service. However, as Itried to add a simple share on the file server to enable backup, later I encounter problems with

Hi there ! I just upgraded (last friday night) our main Samba host to Samba 2.0.0 from version 1.9.18p10. This host provides access to our own file based database system. The number of Samba clients is around 60 (nearly all NT4.0's and few NT3.51's). The Samba 2.0.0 host runs 'uname -a': HP-UX vertex A.09.05 A 9000/720 65914162 two-user license After the upgrade change I've

Using Samba 1.9.18p10 I have found a difference between Win95 and WinNT: opening 'Lotus Freelance' files from Win95 is really slow (about 17 kB/s only) vs fast (~hundreds of kB/s) from WinNT. Looking into the log (with debug level=4) I see using Win95: switch message SMBopenX (pid 33994) Skipping become_user - already user unix_clean_name [./PRIVATE/Goyal_Sep98.PRZ] Got dir cache hit on

Hi all: I am experiencing a problem where WinNT and Samba are dropping connections during file transfers. I have the following smb.conf settings: keep alive = 30 dead time = 1440 socket options = IPTOS_THROUGHPUT SO_KEEPALIVE (although I tried IPTOS_NODELAY with no apparent benefit). The client is copying a large number of files up to the server, then there is a pause at a random file,

Hello, I am having a very speific problem with my samba interface. We just migrated to a new IBM pSeries server with AIX 5.3. The older server was a RS6000, with AIX 5.2 and everything I'm about to describe below worked without fail. We have a Windows 2000 Server that runs IIS. There is a web-based program (programmed in VB Script) that calls test.sh AIX script (through samba) on our AIX

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped. (mostly) Connecting to shares still works. Navigating the tree till works. Changing (DOS) attributes still works. But actually opening files and reading the contents doesn't work. The client just times out (Win 3.11, and

I'm having a problem with files locking so that every time the are opened up they are opened as Read-Only. Windows doesn't see them as readonly but Samba thinks that they are write=no and so they can't be saved or deleted. I've included a log, my smb.conf, and a getfacl of a user's home directory as well as a getfacl of the directory from /home. Any help would be

My Samba-shared printers (v2.0.3) printers worked great until I updated several software packages last weekend. These printers are networked and can still be used by running lpr from the command line of my Linux (RedHat v5.2, kernel 2.2.5) server. Print jobs sent from the client machines (OS/2 and Win98) are not printed. A job sent from a client machine is apparently just lost. Nothing

A PC running Windows 95 has a share mounted from a Samba 2.0.7 server running under Mac OS X Server. An attempt is being made to copy a file on the PC called suse.iso to a subdirectory of the share (faberlab) on the Samba server. The PC hangs a bit and eventually complains that it can't create the file. Here is the debug log starting from the moment the copy has begun... [2000/06/02

I'm having a difficult time setting up printing from a remote client to a Linux server. Please email replies to mlepage@cgowave-16-35.cgocable.net as I am having difficulty subscribing to the mailing list. The print server is a Debian 2.1 Linux system with an HP LaserJet 5000 connected via parallel port. It prints correctly using lpr, even as user nobody. Also, remote Linux machines can

I just thought that I would put this out there and see if anyone else sees this problem with Samba 1.9.18p4 (under Solaris 2.6). It appears that after some reboots of Solaris, Samba printing is partly dead. What I see in the logs are below, and what happens is that the file to be printed is spooled to /var/spool/samba, like always, but when the lpr command is issued it croaks. I've been

Hi - A client reported this morning that the "Save As" function in some tax planning software they use "didn't work with the new server" (Samba 1.9.17p2 on intel/linux v 2.0.30). All client machines are Win95 OSR2. Essentially, when you type a name in the save as dialog and press enter, a backslash is added to the end of the new filename (in the dialog, that is),

Here's my setup: Caldera Open Linux Lite (kernel 2.0.29) Samba 2.0.4a Windows Domain (Two Windows NT 4.0 Servers -- one PDC, one BDC -- and numerous Windows NT 4.0 Workstations) I can see my Linux box in Network Neighborhood on my Windows NT boxes. I can open the Linux box and see the top level shares available. When I try to open a share I see one or two anonymous folders. Anyone

Hi -- I originally posted the following message about 2 weeks ago -- I don't mean to annoy but really need to solve this problem - if anyone can shed any light on the issue I'd greatly appreciate it. Since the original post, we've run the application with its data on network drives shared from 95, NT, and Novell, and all work fine, as does saving locally. It only fails on a

Hi all, I have some trouble with Visual Basic application. When the application try to open their files it gives me : Error 48 loading DLL Log file is : switch message SMBopenX (pid 2296) unix_clean_name [./ABC/ABC.EXE/2] unix_clean_name [./abc/abc.exe/2] Error opening file ./abc/abc.exe/2 (Not a directory) (flags=0) 07/26/97 19:26:23 error packet at line 1070 cmd=45 (SMBopenX) eclass=1 ecode=5

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

We're presently running Samba 1.9.15 on a Dec Alpha running OSF-3.2. We've been running this configuration for over a year and have developed a new problem in the last few weeks. Intermiddently, when a user attempts to save a file or copy (via desktop) a file to the server, the server returns a disk full error. If the user tries the exact same transaction, it usually works on the second

I'm having lots of hassles and troubles since I moved to 1.18p10: 1\ Why do I need a smbpasswd and have to have a user equivalent on the unix machine when an NT user wants to print via an smb printer? My NT/Win users shouldn't need to know anything about unix and I don't want to tell them "you have to log into my unix machine and invoke

Hello, We have a problem with samba 2.0.3 and a lotus notes 4.6.2 client. The local lotus-notes user's databases are on the home-directory of the user in directory notes/data. The home-directory is a directory on a unix (HP) file-server and is accessed with samba. If a user wants to open the databases in his notes/data directory, he get a notes error "The parameter is incorrect".
