Hi all, Is it possible to specify an arbitrary unix directory to be mounted from samba? For example, to mount /usr/local/bin ? Using a different smb server, I've seen the ability to do this by doing something like Connect to: \\smbserver\/usr/local/bin Connect as: user Password: **** In other words, I'd like to be able to specify the exact path I'd like to mount without having

Fellow Samba-meisters, I'm wondering if anyone can share real-world experience running PC database apps (like M$ Access) with database files shared from a samba server. How well has the record locking proven to work? I will be setting up a small office network for a client w/ a Linux server running samba as a file/print server and 4 or 5 Win95 clients running Office97 apps. This is

Hello, This is my 2nd attempt at running Samba on my linux box at work, but i thought i would ask some basic questions: David Bandel suggested i upgrade to 2.0, so i did..:) Now, what i want to do is the following: Be able to access the linux box from a 95/98 or NT workstation, now i know this can be done since my box "odie" showed up in the network neighborhood list on a few

Hi, I'm trying to replace an NT SBS box with a RH5.2 box, and things are proceeding quite well, save a few samba troubles. I've found that the NT4WS (SP4) clients can log in if told to use a samba machine as a "workgroup", but that they can not find a domain controller if told to use "domain" logons. (They have the registry password encryption hack installed.)

I'm new to SAMBA and am trying to install it on a Origin 200 running IRIX 6.4. I’ve downloaded and un-tarred 5 files: samba samba.idb samba.man samba.src samba.sw Now what do I do? I’m really lost. I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond to: krestoule@yahoo.com TIA!! -Kyle Restoule

SAMBA Gurus (Both on the mailing list and in the nesgroup): I am running 1.9.18p8 on our production server and 2.0beta4 on a test server. Both are HP-UX 10.20. Hundreds of happy end-users quietly sharing files. Except one. He runs the Adobe Acrobat Catalog program on his Windows NT 4.0 machine. It fails, whether connected to the production server or test server. Granted, this is an old

Hello all On my SunOS 4.1.3_U1 / SPARCstation 5 (ie. sun4m architecture) server I am running SAMBA 1.9.15p8, and I am having all sorts of permission problems. For example, there are two AutoCAD drawings with identical Unix ownership and permissions (ie. 666), sitting in the exact same directory. The directory has 777 permissions. >From the NT client, one of the drawings will open

I've got 1.9.18p10 up and running happily on a Solaris 2.4 box. I have got the configuration set so that from my own PC (running NT4, sp4) on the same subnet, I can login with no problems. Running smbclient on the Unix box also confirms that I can use other user ID's also. Problem 1: other users do not seem to be able to login. What I think are the relevant sections of the config file

We recently tried the upgrade to 2.0 Beta series (just finished testing Beta 4) on our network. Everything works fine with 1.9.18pl10, but once we start 2.0 in its place we start getting the following in the log files: [1998/12/17 05:00:12, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(219) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 246 are available.

We installed Samba 1.9.16p11 on our Solaris 2.5 Sparc server here and we are having some difficulty getting Windows 95 programs to access the Samba shares. Many of the programs work, and we are dedicated to using Samba, and we have a lot of stuff out there, and we are using it effectively. But we have a few problems with a few programs. One of the possible solutions to this problem is to upgrade

Fellow riders of the bleeding edge of ext3 technology, I've been playing with ext3 on my workstation. For the most part it has worked very well, but right now I have a non-functional system. I've got patches out the wazoo on this kernel - 2.2.18 + Alan's 2.2.19pre13 + ext3-0.0.6a + i2c-2.5.5 + lm_sensors-2.5.5 + udf-0.9.3. Here is the output I get: EXT3-fs: WARNING: recovery

Hi everybody, I'm setting up a Samba under RHEL 7.0, just a simple samba server. But I'm having trouble with blocking access to shares, to be specific with domain block. I'm using default config in samba.conf, just added the share's config. While blocking by network range it works. Even when some IPs in the network 172.25.0.X are subdomains of example.com, they are not blocked.

Greetings- Perhaps slightly OT, but still involving the SMB/CIFS protocol: I am searching for an application which would allow a Linux client (Ubuntu) to send/receive WinPopup messages. The only one I have located thus far is LinPopup. However, it depends on the Samba (server) package. I do not want to deploy a bazillion Samba servers! TIA! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Fellow samba users, I had some problems with trying to get samba running properly on Linux (RedHat 5.2), but now I've got it working. Two things I learned: 1) Use the packaging/RedHat/makerpms.sh script. It will generate a RedHat compatible rpm for you. I had to make these changes to it though: --8<------------------------(Cut Here)----------------------------------- ---

Hello. I have a problem. Game runs normal except for invisible wolverine and his enemies) - Wine 1.3.14 - installed(those options i found on the first page in wine db): vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun6 physx - changed: msvcrt changed to "builtin, native" does anyone know what can be cause of it and what options could be there to fix it ?

Just wondering if there is a way to send a WinPopup message to a user (using username). I have had a look at smbclient but it appears to only allow sending messages to a computer name. Thanks in advance, Russell Kliese

Surely someone out there knows how to notify their Windows users that access to their samba server is going to be terminated.... Any help will be *greatly* appreciated. ------ Original Message ------- I would like to shut down samba before I begin my backup routine. Before I do this, I would like to send a message to the users who are logged in on their Windows machines, asking them to log

Thankyou for taking the time to read this ... We have large PC userbase and a not-so-large (but equally loud) Unix user base. We have a requirement to "PopUp" information windows on ALL our user's screens with an absolute minimum of manual intervention (ie type the message once and then forget it). We can manage the Unix X servers but can't seem to find a UNIX application that

Hello, in addition to our mail system, we have some other systems which needs to know how many messages, and how many unread messages, a user has in his/her inbox (maildir). Currently, we have a mod_perl script which takes a mail address as input, and then traverses the maildir, and outputs the number of unread messages. Our challenge is that the maildirs are located on a SAN, and traversing a
