similar to: It's just stopped working! (1.9.18p8, IRIX 5.3)

Hi all, Am I the only person to have fallen over the following 'gotcha' ? Upgraded to 1.9.18p8 from 19.9.17p5 on Friday. Came in this morning to discover all Printing had died. Eventually tracked this down to the 'printcap name' setting in Samba jad changed. It default was '/etc/printcap' (it must have been as printing was fine up 17p5 and all previous versions).

Hi there, I've just tripped over a problem I thought only existed in WfWg3.11. On Win95 clients connecting to a 1.9.18p8 Samba server (IRIX 5.3) the first logon dialog box seems to have a problem with mixed-case passwords. If I have a lower case password, then I can just enter it in the Win95 'Microsoft Network' logon dialog at startup, and all the shares are reconnected. If I

Hi all, Looking for a solution to the following:- # smbpasswd -x jh--- build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username jh--- with uid 1774 is not in unix passwd database! Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user jh---. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ?

Hi all, I'm trying to get a Samba server (which is a member of a Samba controlled domain) to store WinXP Pro user's profiles. The XP user is authenticating against a 2003 Active Directory server, which then tells it to store it's profile on my Samba server. The 'profiles' share exists and is writeable and under some circumstances we can get profiles to be stored there,

Hi all, Can you use Samba to store an XP Pro profile? I'm running Samba 3.0.2a (compiled from source) on Solaris 9. Compiled it against OpenLDAP 2.1.30 and MIT Kerberos 1.3.3 (both compiled from source from fresh downloads today). Am now trying to get Windows XP Pro to store profiles on to this box. The smbd and nmbd seem to run fine. Every time XP Pro goes to create a user's

Thank you very much, it was the setting on the RS6000. Whoever originally setup our box didn't specify the BST time offset correctly. The system was reading TZ=GMT0BST0,M3.5.0,M10.5.0 Thanks to everyone that contributed to solving a simple and obvious error !!!! :) Mike ________________________________________________________________________________________ >From "John Ryan"

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Hi all, I've been working (hard) on password sync (with NIS) here and it's now ready to roll. However, there's a problem. If I use '% smbpasswd -r nnpdc' from the UNIX command line, then the password change program runs as root and the NIS gets updated. If I use 'c:\> net password \\nnpdc' (from an Win98 box) then the password change program runs as the user

Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

Hi all, 'Using Samba' (and it's companion 'Pocket Reference') both say that the default for the 'writable' option in smb.conf is 'YES'. But, http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html says the default is 'no'. Which is right? Mac Assistant Systems Adminstrator @nibsc.ac.uk

elsewhere in the file, which I doubt) the problem probably lies with printcap. Your smb.conf looks OKay (except for the 'path' mentioned above). >This is Printcap: >This Works. ># HP DeskJet 1220c printer: >HP1220c:sd=/var/spool/lpd/HP1220c:rw:sh:rm=hp1220c:rp=raw: > >This doesn't work. ># HP OfficeJet K80:

Hi all, I'm running 3.0.6 on IRIX 6.5 (compiled from sources) Runs fine for almost all purposes. But I thought I'd have a look at the extra Samba-3 printing facilites today, and they've thrown up some real issues. 1st point. I still haven't managed to get to the bottom of this one, but I can't always add a printer drive to a Samba-served printer. I've been

Hi all, I'm using Samba 3.0.6 (on IRIX 6.5). This is just a 'let you know what I've discovered' message really. I've just installed upgrade a laptop here to SP2 of Windows XP. It then started failing to make network connections. After much fiddling about, I tracked it down to DFS shares. This PC can now connect to the DFS root OKay, but doesn't recognise the entries

Hi all, I'm running Samba 1.9.18p8 on an SG Challenge (L) with IRIX 5.3 Every so often (maybe once a month (ish)) samba goes mad, and we get loads and loads of 'smbd' processes created which fill up the process table, causing many 'fork() failed: too many processes' errors. Eventually, with a slice of luck we can get to execute a 'kill' command on them and the

Hi all, I've just noticed I'm getting a load of these query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet 193.62.43.24 for name INFORMATICS<1d>. This response was from IP 193.62.43.39 In the log.nmb on one of my (several) Samba servers. I've not had a chance yet to check if it's happening on all of them. Most pertiant question for me is why is it

Hi all, There seems to be a conflict in the online documentation as to the 'security =' level and the 'add user script'. http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN1146 says that you have to have 'security = user' in order to have Samba behave as a PDC. Further on :- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN1231 it says

Hi all, Having just upgraded our IRIX 6.5 servers from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8a, we're now having trouble with the DFS shares that it serves to our site. Browsing (from 'Start|Run' \\servername) shows the folders we've set up. Double clicking on these allows us to go into them and see the DFS pointers. Double clicking on these produces:- \\net\user\homes refers to a location that is

Hi there, And thank you for your info. Most useful. The problem is that the time is WRONG on one of your machines.

Hi all, the file samba-2.2.3a/source/script/installbin.sh has a rather odd blindspot. It doesn't honor the --with-privatedir= option to ./configure it just blindly uses $BASEDIR/private instead. I think the fix would be:- a) move directory creation out of installbin.sh altogehter (after all what's the installdirs: target for in the Makefile?) OR b) add an extra parameter
