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

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,

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

Are there plans to support ACL in Samba? -- Fong Vang SysAdmin

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

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.

Hi, I've got a Samba server here that runs great! I've got an NT machine on my laptop and I can interface with the Samba server directly in any way I want, except for one thing: When I try to install a program (Visio) as a network shared app, the installation always tells me "I've determined that the target drive doesn't support long file names" after I choose to

I'm migrating to Samba on about 50 desktops. After I join the domain (this is on Windows 2k or XP) I get a whole new set of settings (under documents and settings). Is there a way to tell Windows to use the old directory? It matches their username on samba if that helps. Note, I'm using local profiles. Thanks, Dean

re: Samba-1.9.18p8 Windows 95 client connected to a read-write Samba file share . If a file is modified from Unix, Windows 95 client does not see the changes made when the file is opened read-only, the file prior to the modification is read. If the windows 95 client opens the file with read-write (opened in an editor) the current modified file is read. Any suggestions? Peter Debus School

I am having trouble changing passwords using the "net password \\<server>" command from either DOS or Win95 command prompt. Changing passwords worked fine using Samba 17p3.

Hi, I just installed Version 2.0.0-prealpha on a Solaris 2.5.1 machine. We are exporting one filesystem to the PC's. I can connect from my Win95 PC without a problem and I see all the files on the shared drive. If I bring up Windows explore and double click on a text file I can see the file without a problem. I then close the file and go to the unix box and change the text file. If I then

There is a line in my message that was incorrect. It should state the following: The users with "(primary)" attached to their name are being deleted.
