I have ran across a problem that I cant resolve and no one else seems to either. I recently built solaris 2.6 on an ULTRA 1 Sun Box. I retrieved compiled and installed samba 2.0 from their web site I compiled with gcc and everything works well except for the printing. Samba does deliver a file in my /var/spool/smbprint dir but nothing happens from there no matter what lp or other commands I

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

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

You wrote: I have been disappointed that I can't use Linux+Samba as an alternative to a Win9x or NT server for our GP medical practice. The software we need runs in win9x. We crave stability. But Linux+Samba is just much slower as a file server. It's normally quite fast: are you running over a dial-up network, requiring you to adust MTU's for speed??? If not, try ``socket

Anyone have any input on this one. I'm running Samba version 1.9.18p10 on an HP9000 HP_UX 10.20. An NT 4.0 server writes files to a UNIX directory and periodically a shell script runs to process any new files found. Occasionally a file isn't found for several hours after it has been created, then mysteriously appears in the UNIX directory. So far this hasn't been a major

My problem that I don't know a good practic way to measure performance of my system I need fileserver for Win9x machines with files share with dos applications Friendly speaking I need to choose between WinNT and Linux I know there are a lot of parameters in for ex in smb.conf but how to play with it? may be there are some utilities or etc. Any help will be appreciated Thanks in advance

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:

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 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

Slow connections login isnt too bad ... 4 sec. tops but its at least 10 seconds or more to access Samba shared Printers or Directories. this is a 10/100 network using Redhat 6.0 with Samba 2.0.5a ... everything works great Except for access times. for example Win9x --> NT its relatively Quick. Is this an Authorization Default that checks every access to Shared objects ? security is all

Solaris samba 2.0.6 with largefile support running on ultra 10 with solaris 2.7 patch level 106541-07. Clients are win98 and win2000 importing a 10G share from the solaris machine. Using a small C program that writes 1M chunks to a file I can write a file as large as the partition will support. Using the system backup program to write a system backup to a file on the share the program dies with a

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

Hi, I'm using Samba quiet a while and never had a problem I couldn't solve for myself. Now I've got one :) Everytime I write files > 30 MB on my exported Fujitsu M2513A Windows is terminating with "Network share is no longer available". The Windows progress indicator shows nothing, but the file is written and then discarded (after the error message) ! Now I've set the

We just installed samba 2.0.3 and configured with swat. It seems great, but after try to use smbpasswd we get the following error: inis-11# smbpasswd -a frank New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed? Segmentation Fault (core dumped) inis-11# This machine did not run NIS nor NIS+! It's an

Hi! I just went from RedHat 5.2 to SuSE 6.1, and now I have a problem with the configure script bombing with "ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe" "configure: error: summary failure" The source I am trying to compile is 2.1.0-prealpha, and I think this is very weird, because I run samba 2.0.3(precompiled) on it now. On the RedHat, everything compiled

Today our Novell file server attacked by the virus "Explore worm". many word & excel & powerpoint files are deletetd and the file size become 0. with novell's utility, it is just easy to recover the deleted files. although the same files is deleted several times, we can find the original back. >From long time ago, we are trying to use samba instead of novell. the

We have just installed Samba 1.9.18p10 on an Ultra Sparc, Solaris 2.5.1 . So far we have been very impressed with the resilience and performance of Samba in contrast to Hummingbird and Solstice NFS products while doing large product builds on our NT4.0 sp4 machines. However we have come across one little problem, which may be down to configuration, that has left us "worried" about

I've just upgraded our little network here to 2.0 beta 5. The server is a Data General Intel box running DGUX R4.20. Compile and install went incredibly well and things have just about working straight off. However, we experienced a little 'funny' this afternoon. A user was creating and deleting a postscipt file in a Unix directory. She then used Ghostview on the PC client to
