i have an NT4 server and a linux samba server. the NT4 server is currently the WINS server. it works perfectly. i want to ditch it and use my samba server as the WINS server, however WINS simply does not work. could this be becuase the WINS server also needs to be the local master browser? here is the global section of my smb.conf [global] workgroup = laboratory os level = 2

TWIMC, I have a situation in which I can access my samba servers with win95 machines but not win98 PCs. When I double click on the server using the browse list under win98, it prompts me for a password to access //SERVER_NAME/IPC$ but denies me access after entering the password. I get accepted with no problem at this prompt with win95. I compiled with the defaults and shared the

Hi all, I'm running Samba 1.9.18p7 and I'm having a problem where I can't execute a file on the samba drive, but if I copy it to a local drive, it works. The client is Windows NT Workstation 4.0 w/ service pack 3. The executable is named Netscape405.exe. The error I get in explorer is: Can not find F:\Netscape405.exe. Windows needs this to run F:\Netscape405.exe I find that if

Hi All, I'm having some problems getting Win'9X to connect to an NT share when the netbios name for the NT server is different from the DNS name, and the win'9x machine is using the DNS name. NT workstation is happy with doing this, but '9X isn't. The strange thing is that it works fine when '9X connects to a samba server that is similarly configured. If I understood

Hi all, I have a machine running Samba (2.0.5a/Solaris 7) which is supposed to be the master browser from my domain. It's been running fine for a couple of weeks. But today it seems that some of the NT workstations are overriding it in elections and are becoming the master browsers (and the Samba server is giving up). I've SIGKILL'ed the nmbd processes, but after they wake up they

Hi Amiga Samba users, I have an interesting problem using Samba (1.9.16) on the Amiga. Everthing works fine for PC reads from the Amiga to the PC or dag-and-dropped onto Unix shares (which also using Samba). However, in the other direction (i.e. at PC GUI drag a Unix file from Unix share and drop it onto an Amiga share) this copy results in a file that my httpd on the Amiga can't read (in the

Good afternoon, I've downloaded the newly released Samba package 2.0.0, and when trying to run "compile" (located in directory source of the package), after a moment, script fail with the following errors: >ERROR: No locking available.

Hi All: I'm facing a weird behavior with Samba 3.5.10. It's a CentOS 6.3 repository RPM. Samba is acting as a PDC and integrated with OpenLDAP 2.4.23, also a CentOS RPM, through smbldap-tools 0.9.3 (from EPEL). In my network I have Windows 7 64 bits and Windows 7 32 bits. The problem is that Samba is losing local master browser 'status' to Win7 32 bits machines. From time to

Hi list, I have a network with a Linux server, running samba 2.2.x, and 10 Workstation. 3 of the workstation are Win2000 and the rest is Win98 and WinME. In the logfiles I see that every 10 Minutes the Win2000 Workstations are forcing a election to become the local master browser for the network. The server wins the election each time but there is still a small amount of time (maybe 4 minutes)

Hi there: > ps: my little suggestion: if we add some parameters at smb.conf like > protected dir = /home/share, /home/user1 ; > trashcan dir = /smbtrash ; It seems that implementation of such parameter has some difficulties and eventuates reduction on performance (e.g. handling "protected dir"s and "trash dir" on the different devices like /dev/hda1

Hi Andrew, I have upgraded recently samba1.9 to samba2.2.5. At the weekend there was an unexpected shutdown, during that time samba machine upgraded itself to Master Browser, earlier it was an NT 4.0 machine.
