similar to: locking for multiple samba servers sharing same NFS filesystems

I recently upgraded to Samba 2.0, but I have had to revert back to 1.9.18p10 because of problems I could not resolve. I am running Samba on a Sun Ultra-1 with Solaris 2.6, and I compiled Samba using gcc v2.8.1. The problems I was seeing were with saving Excel files. A user might have a small Excel file and try to save it to their home directory. The save would work for a long time (5 to 10

On Samba 1.9.18p10 and previous versions, each of the multiple users on the same Windows Terminal Server Edition machine would get their own smbd process. With Samba 2.0.x (I'm currently testing 2.0.4b), this has changed so that every user on a WTSE machine uses the same smbd process. File ownerships are assigned correctly, but file locking does not work. If one user on a WTSE machine has a

I just attempted to upgrade from Samba 1.9.18p10 to Samba 2.0.4b, and I have had to revert to 1.9.18p10 in less than a day. I attempted to upgrade to 2.0.1 back in January, and had to back off as well. I was hoping the problems I saw then would be resolved in 2.0.4b. I sent a message to this list back in January or February as well, but saw no responses. My environment is about 210 Win95 PCs

I am trying to use the "shared mem size" parameter in Samba 2.0.4b, but the size reported by smbstatus does not match the value I am using. Without the parameter, the default is 1MB, and the size reported by smbstatus is indeed 1048576. However, when I set the value of "shared mem size" to 5242880 (5MB), smbstatus says 879608. Is smbstatus not reporting the actual size, or

Printing from NT4.0 clients to Samba 2.2.3a using the NT4.0 drivers from HP works fine for me, my only problem has been with W2K clients using the W2K drivers from HP. The drivers from www.hp.com appear to be level 3 drivers, that is where they install, and they are downloaded by W2K drivers if they are available when the NT4.0 drivers are also available. Now, whether these drivers from HP are

I have Samba 2.2.3a installed and running successfully on Solaris 8 in a test environment. I manually enter printer shares into the smb.conf file, and then I can upload printer drivers to the Samba server from a Windows session without problems. When I try to print to a print queue on this server from a Windows 2000 SP2 machine, the application I am printing from hangs, the CPU usage of the smbd

I am seeing an odd behavior with NT4.0 SP3 workstations trying to rename files on Samba 1.9.18p2 shares on SunOS 4.1.3 servers. Rename, whether it is run from Explorer, winfile.exe, or command prompt fails with "Access Denied I don't see the problem from Win95 PCs at all, and I don't have the problem with shares from Samba 1.9.18p2 shares on Solaris 2.5.1 servers using identical

I've just upgraded to Samba 3.0.2a from 2.2.8a, and I've run into a problem. We have an automated build process for our Windows PCs where first a Windows XP Pro image is copied onto the machine, then after a reboot the local administrator is autologged on and a drive is mapped from the Samba server using Active Directory domain credentials. At this point the new machine hasn't

This problem appears to be a bug. I am seeing the problem running Samba 3.0.2a on both Solaris 8 and RH Linux ES3. This problem was not present in Samba 2.2.8a. The Samba servers are member servers of an Active Directory domain, and all other file and print sharing is working well. Global section of smb.conf included below. On a Windows XP client that hasn't been added to Active

With Samba 3.0.23c I am unable to join the server to AD. The command and messages return: # ./net ads join createcomputer=OUlevel1/OUlevel2/Servers -Uadminacct adminacct's password: Using short domain name -- DOMAIN Failed to set servicePrincipalNames. Please ensure that the DNS domain of this server matches the AD domain, Or rejoin with using Domain Admin credentials. Disabled account for

I wrote about this problem more than a week ago, but got no response. I upgraded to 3.0.3 hoping this issue would go away, but it hasn't. I am seeing the problem running Samba 3.0.2a or 3.0.3 on both Solaris 8 and RH Linux ES3. This problem was not present in Samba 2.2.8a.

Hi, I have referred to the archive and some of you were having the oplock_break problem. Does anyone have any solution for this? Will reboot fix the problem? Please advise. regards, Bridget

We're had some recurring problems with nmbd's on Solaris 2.7 and Irix 6.5 failing to renew their WINS registrations in a timely manner causing the records to become tombstoned. While we've solved it by issuing "pkill" and "killall", respectively, of nmbd nightly from root's crontab, I wanted to alert the authors and other administrators to the problem so similar

There is a new regedit file in Samba 2.0.6 for Windows Terminal Server Edition that sets a MultipleUsersOnConnection value to 1. I can't find any documentation about this regedit in the source package or using a search of the Samba website. In Micro$oft's knowledgebase articles Q190162, Q233082, Q231798 and Q191370, it would appear that the value should be set to 0 rather than 1 for the

Hi, One of the main things I use Wine for is to run a Computer Based Training Player (cbtplayer, info found at www.smartforce.com). It used to work perfect on 20001222 and back several version from that. Since the 20010112 release, it has failed. I reload the 20001222 and am back in business. I posted the zipped debug output for download if anybody that can read this (most of it looks Chinese

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

Hi, I have an application that I use that only worked on Wine-20001222 and a few earlier versions. I accidentally deleted my copy and when I tried to download it again, it was no longer posted on any of the sites that I know that carry the source files. If somebody could send me another link to a site for downloading or even email the program to me would be great. Thanks, Ken -- Kenton

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
