Hi all, I've installed samba on a sun sparc-station with solaris 2.5. But when i'm doing something that's using the network really intense (like mp3-files playing over the network) the feed is not constant. With mp3 files you can that because you have pauses during the playing of the song. Is this a configuration mistake or something ? cu, Patrick

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

We're using Samba 1.9.18p10 on a Linux 2.0.35 box as a fileserver chiefly for software development under VC++. Builds are done from the command line, not the IDE. I'm seeing rather slow build performance under NT4SP3. Build performance is fine under Win95. Build performance is also good when building from Samba 1.9.18p8 running on a Sun UltraSparc. To give some concrete figures, building

Is there a posibilty to change all Unix file permissions from the NT-Explorer (not only arciv,hidden,sysem mappig). A solution could bee to extend the context menu with to entries show security and set secutriy (inf - files could do that for example winzip-installation does the sama). This extensions can call for example a rsh programm which will do that job. Does anybody has a solution or ideas

Is there anyway to specify a range of IP addresses such as 128.1.10.11 to 128.1.10.29 in this parameter ? I cannot find the man page for hosts_access(5) as mentioned in the smb.conf documentation. Thanks Robert

Is there any support for file locking in a case where multiple Samba servers are set up with shares for the same NFS mounted filesystem? I don't know how the STATUS..LCK file is used, but for instance, could that file be shared between the multiple Samba servers via and NFS mount? Thanks! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay D. Anderson

Hi all, I am using a samba WINS server for my Microsoft network that is split across 5 physical networks. For a long time, everything has worked fine, however recently we have had wierd problems with domain controllers "disappearing". Even with a primary or backup DC on the physical wire, workstations and other NT servers suddenly start complaining "a domain controller for DOMAIN

It would appear that Samba <-> Samba across subnets works fine, but Samba <-> NT is a problem. Does anybody else concur with this statement? Specifically, running Samba 1.9.18p10 (Solaris) and directing all password authenication to an NT server on a subnet causes the following output in the log file: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the last summer we took our home dir / applications servers for the 330 Win95 PCs that they service and attempted to replace them with a single AlphaServer 8200 (Digital Unix (OSF/1), Samba, 4GB RAM, 2x525Mhz cpus). The results were *not* good. In fact, it was terrible. We have since gone back to using the original 3 machines. My suspision is that the clients are making way too many

I have a class C address space divided into 3 subnets. I have a Samba server on each subnet and all 3 subnets are under the same Domain/Workgroup. My browsing works fine. But when the frame relay between the subnets goes down, the 2 subnets that don't have the WINS server local cant find their local Samba server. Do I need to have a WINS server on each subnet to keep this from happening? Is

Hi, I have a number of web servers that mount their /htdocs (and /log and /cgi-bin) directories from a large file server. I am currently using NFS for this. The web servers are Linux, the file server a Sun E450. NFS seems dreadfully slow, and I keep reading about how it doesn't do file locking. Is there a good reason not to simply use samba, and share the volumes with samba from the Sun, and

In my high school computer lab I have Red HAt 5.0 with SAMBA being used as a file server. The kids are getting used to it. But recently I'm seeing something strange. A student with id "james" will log on Windows 95, go to network neighborhood and to the Linux computer and find there among other normal items two folders. The first will be his own folder with his id, but the second

Hi there everyone, Again another slight thing I noticed since I upgraded to Samba 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a. I'm using RedHat Linux on a Celeron 400 with kernel 2.2.13. My socket options in smb.conf is set to "TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192". However I've started getting the following everytime I SIGHUP to reload the configs and stop-start:

I live in Tennessee, USA, and work 1000km away in Texas. Thanks to the wonders of broadband I never leave home (well, not for WORK, that is. :) I'm setting up an Asterisk system whereby I'll have an extension in Texas, so clients can reach me at a local telephone number. We have a VPN set up already (OpenVPN, which I highly recommend to anyone needing such a thing.) It does

Hi! I'm new on the list, so please, be patient with me! I have a problem for wich I can't find the answer in the FAQ. Until recently I was running a 16 PC-s network with SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 and Samba 1.9.16p11 on the server and mixed clients (Win 3.11 to Win 95 OSR2). The users on the network have access to a PUBLIC directory on they own user directories on the server without

Hi all, I've looked about and I can't find anything on Quotas and SAMBA with FreeBSD. The FreeBSD manual says that I can enable quotas and how to go about it, but I get the feeling this is just for shell accounts. Quotas would be useless in my situation if they did not work with SAMBA as well. All my SAMBA users have shell accounts as well and only save to their home directory - either

Hi all, I've a BIG problem on a Unix SunOS 4.1.4 running SAMBA (samba-1.9.18p3) in order to export some file systems to WindowsNT client machines. The client are using Visual C/C++ 5.x for compiling files (source are remote, but binary are generated on local disks). The problem is that the CPU time and the IO goes... too UP (I've a load average of 8)!!! I traced the clients (with log
