similar to: Disabling storeing of cached profiles?

Has anyone implemented a "virtual cdrom" facility as offered on windows? That is CD images are cached & compressed on hard disk and shared across a network. See: http://www.winmag.com/library/1996/1196/11r24a.htm I have not found any news of a Unix solution. I would like to offer one on a Linux server to Windows clients. It should not be hard to implement with Samba... Thanks

While we do sync our /etc/passwd whenever /etc/smbpasswd is changed via the Samba sync option that does not seem to be possible the other way round: I just want a /etc/smbpasswd generated from my /etc/passwd with the correct passwords as used for the UniX login... Is that possible ? Regards, -- /(__ __|\ Lars Steinke, Research Student @ ( \/ __)_

Hi there! I have a Samba 2.2.2 PDC on linux 2.4.13 with ACL (acl.bestbits.at) support installed. There seems to be a problem with Roaming Profiles. Win2k with local NTFS filesystem will never delete roaming profiles (yes, I have regedited the DeleteRoamingCache to 1). In fact, any time TheUser logs back in, a new folder named TheUser.OURDOMAIN.??? (where ? is an integer) will be created,

Hi, I have a number of web servers that mount their /htdocs (and /log and /cgi-bin) directories from a large file server. I am currently using NFS for this. The web servers are Linux, the file server a Sun E450. NFS seems dreadfully slow, and I keep reading about how it doesn't do file locking. Is there a good reason not to simply use samba, and share the volumes with samba from the Sun, and

Hi I use messages (net send...., smbclient -M ....) to let a server dial to my provider, or to let him fetch my mial. This worked until I switched to 1.9.18p3. My server is named FGP, my group FGP_GROUP. One of the nt-clients is named SAUSCHNELL - and one of the users on SAUSCHNELL is names fgp - like the server. Since I use 1.9.18p3 all the messages sent to FGP from a NT-computer are actually

We are running a Sequent unix database server that uses smbclient to print through the NT servers. Our network has mulitple sites connected via frame relay. Now the problem; we have been attempting to tune the network to improve database response. And would like to have the smbclient bind to a second IP address on our Sequent box so we can prioritize traffic based upon the source IP

Hi I get this mailing-list as a digest (as everyone does, i guess). This is quite inconvinient for answering single questions.. I every digest there is a message with Subject: Re: Samba dingest <NR>... This makes it hard to keep track about whath message the replay is ment for. Another problem is, that mime-attachments don?t seem to work. This is especially bad, because some Microsoft

Hi We're running Samba 2.2.7a as a PDC for Windows2000 SP2 Clients. Everthing works just fine, but there is one problem: The clients save their profiles on the PDC (~/.Profiles), but don't delete the local copy of the profile (C:\My Documents\$user). This causes a really big problem, since the client's HD's aren't that big and these profiles grow every day. Is there any way

Hi there, I set up my samba that it acts as a domain controller, when i start network neigborhood and click on the linux system and select netlogon ([NETLOGON] entry in smb.conf) i first had the problem with windows 98 that my password always was wrong. i fixed this with a registry setting (something with plaintext), now this part works. Now i configured my windows 98 for using a domain-server,

Hello, I need to serve one fileshare to different users in different groups ( I do so ). I gave different users different groups and told samba to make new files owned by user:group, mod 775. But now some users have the need to write in the directory of another group. Is it possible to force user and group per directory and not per share, or is it possible to create links in the filestructure

Dear List, I have a problem. If I create a file under UNIX (samba 1.18.xx) with capital letters in its name and look at this file under NT the name become small letters. Not under Win95. What shoud I set to avoid the case changing in file names??? TIA && good byte! This is the first day of the rest of Your life!

Hi, I am using redhat 5.1 and want to print to an hp722c on a NT 4.0 box with service pack 3 installed. The printer works fine locally. I have created a win-printer spooler on the redhat machine as a SMB printer to a share on the NT machine called //bob/hp720. I created a printer on the NT machine called hp720 and shared it off as hp720 with the permissions everyone full control. The printer

I have Samba 1.9.18p10 running on linux 2.0.35. It's being used largely as a file server for student email, netscape bookmarks, Word papers, etc. from Win95 clients. The configuration is pretty much the defaults. We have an application called Visible Analyst (VA) that needs to be used by a few users. The bulk of the application files are shared but a few need to be available at startup

I am trying to get two WFW PC's talking to via Linux/Samba server Interface. One PC continuously streams binary datafile onto its directory on the server while the other continuously reads it. Information on the size of this file (which can continuously increase up to 3MB) is continuously updated and is stored using a fixed width pointer in the file header. It appears that the second PC

Hi. I wanted to set diskless win95 but I read the list archives and I decided not to do it diskless. So I tried diskless windows but I got a problem. I do this. 1.- I did booting images with bootware proms. 2.- I managed to install DOS clients from microsoft. That was painfull because the one I downloaded from MS didn't connected to my samba server. I used a dos clients that creates a NT

Hi, I want to connect to a share on a Samba server over the Internet. I have the Samba server installed and working OK (for NT clients at least) but when I connect from my NT workstation over the Internet I get 'Invalid Handle' dialogs when I try to map a network drive. I think it should be OK but one major difference is the remote NT workstation is not a member of the domain in which

Every now and then one of my lusers sets up a machine which attempts to be a local master and/or a domain master for our workgroup. This sucks since we want our samba machine to *always* be the WINS master server. (we have os level set to 255 for this machine) but appearantly it still loses elections that come up from time to time. The only way I know when this happens is when people come to me

Hi there, I have Samba 1.9.18p18 installed on Linux (S.u.S.E. 5.3). It is configured to act as a domain controler for the Windoze machines. One of my users, which can login from his Win95 (plain text password) without problems, wants to change his password from the Control Panel. But every time when he logs out after changing his password and re-logs in, the new password is refused by the

I have installed samba for the first time and I try to start it in a windows 95 environement. I started nmbd and smbd with the config file listed at the end of this mail (I remove all comment for clarity) I expect to use samba with the SHARE protocol of Windows 95 (No WINS) The new server (sdmpcsv02) is recognised by the other pc's but the can list the exported files The smbclient -L
