similar to: Samba 2.0 oplocks (PR#11706)

I'm connecting to 1.9.18p8 on Linux 2.0.33 from an NT 4.0 workstation. I connect to the share with username phl and unencrypted passwords. In smb.conf, "force group=httpd" for the share called "sites." Smbstatus correctly reports: [root@www /sites]# smbstatus Samba version 1.9.18p8 Service uid gid pid machine

>From time to time someone will comment in this list that their Samba server has disappeared from the list of hosts in Network Neighborhood. Browsing the list archive has yet to turn up any good explanation of this phenomenon. I think I have a clue. This morning my server disappeared again. When I checked the process list on the server I noticed that nmbd had been swapped out to disk. The

Hi, There have been a bunch of useful submissions for the compare /contrast thread. To reduce the load on your mailbox, they are gathered here in one go... Roger.

Michel, One approach that hasn't been suggested is to block access to the netbios nameservice port on the samba host with a firewalling rule. That way the other computers on the subnet can't register themselves with nmbd. Suppose that your internal network is all within the 192.168.15.0/24 network. Each Windows workstation will automatically announce itself with a udp packet broadcast

Hi, Eric. You asked: > Does the full version of Front Page request locks? If so, maybe I need > to purchase it or another html editor that does. It doesn't use SMB file transactions at all. Instead it uses GET/PUT http commands to communicate with a remote server. Users are authenticated with a username/password combo and are connected to a "web," MS's word for a

I've been doing this on CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 but after installing 2.6.18-53.1.4el kernel, I'm having a bit of a struggle... # make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/build \ SUBDIRS=/usr/src/appletalk modules make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5-i686' CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/aarp.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/ddp.o CC [M] /usr/src/appletalk/dev.o

RHEL 4 (and thus CentOS 4) do not have appletalk module included. CentOSPlus rather thoughtfully has the 'unsupported' version which would have the appletalk module but I have been unable to get the old megaraid driver to run compiled from the kernel-devel for these 'unsupported' kernels. Thus I would love to simply compile the appletalk module myself from the standard

We've been down this path before and I got things working but am not self-sufficient which is where I would like to be. Problem is new kernel 2.6.9-22 and I need 2 modules installed that aren't part of the RHEL kernels. 1 - megaraid for older non-supported megaraid cards. I have the source and can compile the modules and make them work no problem. We have archives in the mail list for

Hello Everyone, I have installed samba-1.9.17p4 on a linux 2.0.29 box, but the server work correctly only as a client. Testparm runs ok, but when i try to list the shares available on my server, this is the output: Added interface ip = 195.32.68.131 bcast = 195.32.68.191 nmask = 255.255.255.192 Session request failed (0,0) with myname = DNS2 destname = DNS2 Unspecified error 0x0 Your server

Hi, I was wondering how a linux box configured as a firewall stacked up against some of the commercial products like checkpoint-1 and gauntlet. Can someone direct me to a good book or online doc that compares linux to some other firewall methods? Mind you, I''m not talking about a firewall in the classical sense, ie ip forwarding turned off and used as a proxy, but the typical Linux box

The Samba Team are pleased to announce Samba 2.0 Beta2 This is the second of (hopefully) a short series of Beta releases of the 2.0 code and incorporates bug fixes and changes from feedback gained from the first beta. We are relasing these Betas to enable the Samba Team to gain wider testing of the new autoconf mechanism and fix any bugs before the first ship of the new stable version of Samba -

Here is Oplocks Usage Recommendations Whitepaper for Samba on HP-UX (originally was written for CIFS/9000 Server on HP-UX). Note that the intended audience is/are HP-UX customers who have questions and concerns about when to configure oplocks. This is intended as a rudimentry guide to help avoid the most obvious oplock pitfalls. Hopefully the plain text alignments hold up well for most editors.

Hello, Anyone out there running a production network supporting PC and Macintosh clients using samba and netatalk. we are currently using NT 4.0 with AppleTalk-IP software. Sharing the same files with the Macs and the pc is a must. I read someplace that samba 2.2.2 supports Appletalk. Is this true? Thanks, Joe

I just downloaded samba-1.9.18p3.tar.gz and compiled it on a DEC 3000/300 running OSF/1 v3.0 (uname -mrsv gives: "OSF1 V3.0 347 alpha") using the built-in cc compiler. The compiler gives the following warning: Compiling nmbd_incomingdgrams.c /usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/cfe: Warning: nmbd_incomingdgrams.c, line 452: Unknown character \ ignored ((DEBUGLEVEL>=(5))?(Debug1

I have a need to use the unsupported kernel for one feature only (AFP/Appletalk support). Never having had to use it before, I''m unsure of what''s all in it other than reading it''s config file. From those that do use it -- is it considered stable enough to use in lightweight production? I''m debating the use of it versus wasting my time rebuilding the normal

Hello, I'm using the Samba server 3.0.33 that exports volume from a GPFS. The GPFS strongly dislikes unlinking files that are locked (resulting in permission denied) using fcntl F_SETLEASE. It seems that the Samba *sometimes* tries to unlink a file that is oplocked. Why? Is this a bug? Why it does not happen always but only sometimes? I have strace logs showing: Wrong case: 8711

In investigating some performance issues (elderly server with just 10Mbps ethernet), I noticed that smbstatus reported hardly any open files with oplocks. In particular files opened with Office 2000 & XP stay un-oplocked. I have checked and testparm claims oplocks are enabled and manual says this is so by default. The clients are all Windows 2000 servers - so we have 1 samba connection with
