Hi all, I want to move a filesystem off of my NT server over to my Network Appliance NFS server to then be shared via Samba. I assume the easiest way to accomplish this would be to use smbtar. Do I then use smbtar to extract the tar file I create with smbtar, or, can I use gnutar? Does it matter? Am I safer sticking with smbtar? I'm guessing that since smbtar is a wrapper around

Just wondering if there is a way to get drive namings to change according to who's logged into the network. ie. 'bob' logs into windows networking and gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. Now if 'sue' logs into windows networking on the same pc she gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. But E: contains sue's stuff. So is there a way into making 'sue'

I do not know how many others are in this case, but I must use either floppies or tapes to transport the Samba product after I download it. Floppies are more convenient than tape because the tape medium is TK50 on OpenVMS and it is very slow. Is is possible to produce the production release in a two archive set so that it can be more easily sneaker-netted? Thank you, John Malmberg

Hi all, I've recently set up a samba server, but just discovered that people on the "other" side can't reach it. The system shows up in Network Neighborhood, but you can't double click on it. It returns a message saying that the server is either inaccessible, or that I misspelled the name (How I did that with just one mouse click is beyond me ;) I had 'allow

Hi all, I've been running a Samba server here for over 6 months now will great success. This past weekend I moved the Samba server to a new subnet, and now I can't see any of the various aliases from Samba server. I was previously able to see the aliases in NN across my 2 different subnets by using the 'wins server = ' parameter. The wins server I was registering with is on yet

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.

I have set up everything so that NT4 SP3 users can use my FreeBSD machine as a printer/file share fine. But it seems to me that every user I want grant access to my machine and is it even for browsing only needs to have an account and must run smbpasswd once on my unix machine. How can I let arbitrary users/workgroups let browse my printers? -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies

Environment: HP-UX 10.20 Samba 1.9.18p10 ; compiled with -DAUTOMOUNT option. We are using our samba server to mount various automounted directories including user's home. auto.home map takes care of mounting user's home automagically but for other directories, I have to put a share name for each of them (and there are hundreds of them). Is it possible to define one share name (like

Hi all! I have problem with Samba and NT 4.0 workstation. I configured Samba 1.9.17p2 under FreeBSD so some directories became accessible from Windows 95. But when I tried to access them from NT Workstation, I received error message : System error 1240 has occurred. The account is not authorized to login from this station. Both machines are in domain, [global] section looks like : [global]

Environment: Solaris 2.5.1 Samba 1.9.18p3 We run samba from inetd (no special reason - just how its been done in the past).

Hi, This is my first SAMBA 2.0.0.0 install under AIX 4.3.1. I can find the server in Win95 via menus START:Find:Computer. If I double click the Network Neighborhood icon the SAMBA AIX server is not showing. Should it work this way? Thanks, Allen

Problem; We need to modify access rights on the Unix server so that when file(s) are created in a directory the file(s) get the group (rw-) access privileges. When creating files in Unix the files do receive the group (rw-) access rights. However, files created on a PC with WINDOWS 95 within the same directory will not receive the group (rw-) access rights. We have added the following to the

Hi people, Is there somebody who knows how to install SAMBA 2.0 on Solaris 2.6? Thanks, Rivaldo

I was very excited when I ran across the "UNIX password sync" directive in the smb.conf!!! THAT would be convenient and really add to the making the server seamless!! Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the unix and smbpasswords to sync from changing within win95. The posts I've seen in the mailing list concerning sync have so far gone unanswered :-( I'm just looking
