similar to: AW: Windows 3.1 and Samba

Has anybody got some experience with connecting machines running Windows3.1 or WfWG (3.11) to Samba? We would like to run a small lab network with user accounts and a shared printer off the samba box. Samba is running fine and there's no problem to connect to it from the Win95/WinNT machines... Any help appreciated. Frank Wornle, Glasgow Caledonian University Dept. of Engineering

Hi ! Starting the smbd, I get the following output in samba.log and i cannot connect to samba (from Win95): [1999/10/05 09:47:27, 2] interface.c:(213) Added interface ip=129.103.47.94 bcast=129.103.47.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 [1999/10/05 09:47:27, 1] files.c:(216) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are available.

If you don't want to type the ip adress of your samba server every time you connect, add a entry to your local hosts file and lmhosts file. You will find this files (and sample files with extension ".sam") in the windows main directory of Win95 and under "system32/drivers/etc" on WinNT 4.0.

Hi Federico, many thanks to you. This patch helped me too. Do you know the intention of the original changes by the samba team in ipc.c. I don't think, it is a good idea to store all profiles in an separate directory and the user registry in the home path. Thanks again Rudolf Rudolf Kollien email: Rudolf.Kollien@medas.de Rudolf.Kollien@kollien.de

I think, it's a good idea to control the binds of the smbclient as it's possible on smbd.

Hi, I've been looking through the news archives but haven't found this.. Perhaps I just didn't see the forest for the trees... :) My question is about the format of text files. Files created on Linux show up on Windows (via samba) without the newline. Is there a parameter setting that I'm missing? How do I get compatibility between the two? Thanks, Mike -- "My Humility

Hi everyone, I'm running Samba 1.9.18p10 and it works great. But I can't get it to announce to other subnets that are on the other side of a router. I've added "remote announce = 192.168.1.255" to smb.conf (my machine is in 192.168.0.0 subnet) and there are no other NT machines in any of the subnets. What should I look for? Thanks, Joe

I have an Access application that work with some shared database file. The file is ~ 3 Mb. Since I have a Linux system with Samba, this application work very slow. I have multiple user with win95 on this file. Is there an option for allowing multiple access without cache ? any other idea ? Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ S?bastien HEITZMANN

The Samba FAQ mentions a program called timesync to update the system clock on clients from the server. The download address in the FAQ is out of date - where can I get a copy ?

Hi! I've installed RedHat 6.1 on a Pentium 233. I'm using samba 2.0.5a which came with RH6.1. On another PC (Pentiun-II 400) I've installed Windows NT 4.0. These two PC's are connected to the same network. I've configured Samba to share the home directories on the Linux System. I'm able to reach my own homedir from NT. Within NT I've assigned this share to drive L.

You must create a output filter. Edit /etc/printcap and add your client printer like this: ... PC-PRINTER:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PP01:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/Filter/PP01:\ :sh: ... Adjust the printcap parameters as needed (spool directory, directory to find the filter script). Make sure the lpd can access the directory. Consult your manual. Now create the filter

Hello everybody, I use 2 samba servers. Server A (SA) is connected to networks n1 and n2. It is the wins server and the domain controller with domain logons and used as password server. Server B (SB) is connected to networks n2 and n3. As diagram it looks like this: +---n2-----(SA)----n1--+ | (SB) | +-------n3---+ Server B's smb.conf has: ... time server = yes domain master = no local

Hi James, we use some NFS mounted shares on our Linux-SCO-network. Samba runs on the linux box. The linux server mounts some NFS shares from the SCO server. The access error should not be a samba failure. Make sure that the directory above the mountpoint is accessable for user nobody (chmod o+x , if you upgrade to samba > 1.9.18p7 make sure that there is read permission on the directories too:

I encountered an bug in samba 2.0.7. With the config option "logon home = \\%N\%U\profile" in smb.conf and roaming profiles, smbd panics when the share "%U" is not listed in smb.conf. I had some users for which i forgot to enter the accompanying share in smb.conf. When such a user logged in or logged off, smbd paniced with signal 11. While on logging off the profiles where

Hi there everyone, I recently upgraded to 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a in a hope to improve data integrity (I was having oplock_break problems that would affect the integrity of a lot of Excel files). So far so good with the oplock_breaks (even with oplocks reenabled). :-) However, I've started having problems with the clients' Windows profiles not being placed in my defined logon path.

I've exactly the same problem. My config looks similar to yours: 1 samba as wins server (wins support=yes" on one segment, 1 samba as "wins server client" (wins server = xxx). The "wins server client" never discards machines from segment 1. I looked at the browse.dat and the wins.dat on the server on segment 1. There are no entries of the shutdowned maschines. Only in

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

Hi, this is a new user who is trying to reach the local network, managed by a windows NT server. I have edited my smb.conf file (which I include) so to be able to reach the network drives and the printers on the ntserver locally. When I try to see what is available using smbclient at the prompt, I cannot see which are the Services available (sharename fields empty), but I do see a lot of things

samba does the SMB(!) authentication against machine "a" but you MUST have equal users on ALL machines. How else should samba create files on the unix file system if there is no UNIX user to deal with? It is not a problem of samba, it's a "problem" of unix. The only trick to do this would be to create a dummy unix user and do a "force user" to this dummy on every

Hi to all, i've got same problems with "hanging" sessions. I use samba 2.0.4a on a S.u.S.E. Linux with kernel 2.2.5. After a client (win95) shuts down sometimes a session still locks the files on the samba server. I tried to use the socket option "S0_KEEPALIVE" and the global option "keepalive=600". During the day i see many log entries like this: [1999/07/29
