I had similar problems with a general network share. discovered that one of my ethernet cards was running full-duplex and the hub was only running half-duplex the config above also hurt network performance drastically -Mike mjoyner@ewc.edu Edward Waters College PC Systems Administrator --- Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 17:09:51 +0100 (CET) From: Alexander Ehlert <ehlert@anatu.uni-tuebingen.de> To:

I have ran across a problem that I cant resolve and no one else seems to either. I recently built solaris 2.6 on an ULTRA 1 Sun Box. I retrieved compiled and installed samba 2.0 from their web site I compiled with gcc and everything works well except for the printing. Samba does deliver a file in my /var/spool/smbprint dir but nothing happens from there no matter what lp or other commands I

I have Samba on a HP-UX 10.20 box and a Windows 98 and NT clients. We are using Samba to just share the Unix drives, the clients get their main stuff from an NT domain structure. On my NT client connected to a share, when I go into file manager for an example I get the directory structure almost instantly. However when the 98 client does the same exact process on the same exact share, it take

We just installed samba 2.0.3 and configured with swat. It seems great, but after try to use smbpasswd we get the following error: inis-11# smbpasswd -a frank New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: make_smb_from_nisp: NIS+ lookup failure: Error in accessing NIS+ cold start file... is NIS+ installed? Segmentation Fault (core dumped) inis-11# This machine did not run NIS nor NIS+! It's an

Hi! I just went from RedHat 5.2 to SuSE 6.1, and now I have a problem with the configure script bombing with "ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe" "configure: error: summary failure" The source I am trying to compile is 2.1.0-prealpha, and I think this is very weird, because I run samba 2.0.3(precompiled) on it now. On the RedHat, everything compiled

Today our Novell file server attacked by the virus "Explore worm". many word & excel & powerpoint files are deletetd and the file size become 0. with novell's utility, it is just easy to recover the deleted files. although the same files is deleted several times, we can find the original back. >From long time ago, we are trying to use samba instead of novell. the

We have just installed Samba 1.9.18p10 on an Ultra Sparc, Solaris 2.5.1 . So far we have been very impressed with the resilience and performance of Samba in contrast to Hummingbird and Solstice NFS products while doing large product builds on our NT4.0 sp4 machines. However we have come across one little problem, which may be down to configuration, that has left us "worried" about

I've just upgraded our little network here to 2.0 beta 5. The server is a Data General Intel box running DGUX R4.20. Compile and install went incredibly well and things have just about working straight off. However, we experienced a little 'funny' this afternoon. A user was creating and deleting a postscipt file in a Unix directory. She then used Ghostview on the PC client to

Hi all. I'm trying to compile 2.0.0beta5 on my Solaris 2.6 host, using gcc-2.7.2.3, and configure is failing: checking configure summary ERROR: No disk free routine! configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config This apparently comes from the following in ./source/tests/summary.c: #if !(defined(STAT_STATVFS) || defined(STAT_STATVFS64) || defined(STAT_STATFS3_OSF1) ||

Hello group, I have a BSDI 4.0.1 box running Samba 2.0.4b. The box is a dual 350mhz, 256MB RAM, 2 36Gig Shares, 1 18Gig Share,1 9Gig root, Intel onboard SCSI controller (Symbios?) and is on a fully switched full duplex 100MB fast ethernet network. The NT box is running 4.0 SP3, dual 400mhz, 256MB RAM, 2 4Gig Seagate SCSI Drives, Adaptec 2940UW and is on the same network as above. (full duplex

Hi all, I've installed samba on a sun sparc-station with solaris 2.5. But when i'm doing something that's using the network really intense (like mp3-files playing over the network) the feed is not constant. With mp3 files you can that because you have pauses during the playing of the song. Is this a configuration mistake or something ? cu, Patrick

Hi all, I've looked about and I can't find anything on Quotas and SAMBA with FreeBSD. The FreeBSD manual says that I can enable quotas and how to go about it, but I get the feeling this is just for shell accounts. Quotas would be useless in my situation if they did not work with SAMBA as well. All my SAMBA users have shell accounts as well and only save to their home directory - either

we have an SUN E450 server with soalris 2.6 and 512mb RAM running samba. we have a network and all the machines are connect through a switch. there are about 40 users who simultaneously use the server running samba for file service. The set up is like this. there is an application on the server which is shared and all the users have mapped their drive letter to that share. this application when

Anyone have any input on this one. I'm running Samba version 1.9.18p10 on an HP9000 HP_UX 10.20. An NT 4.0 server writes files to a UNIX directory and periodically a shell script runs to process any new files found. Occasionally a file isn't found for several hours after it has been created, then mysteriously appears in the UNIX directory. So far this hasn't been a major

My problem that I don't know a good practic way to measure performance of my system I need fileserver for Win9x machines with files share with dos applications Friendly speaking I need to choose between WinNT and Linux I know there are a lot of parameters in for ex in smb.conf but how to play with it? may be there are some utilities or etc. Any help will be appreciated Thanks in advance

Slow connections login isnt too bad ... 4 sec. tops but its at least 10 seconds or more to access Samba shared Printers or Directories. this is a 10/100 network using Redhat 6.0 with Samba 2.0.5a ... everything works great Except for access times. for example Win9x --> NT its relatively Quick. Is this an Authorization Default that checks every access to Shared objects ? security is all

Hi there everyone, Again another slight thing I noticed since I upgraded to Samba 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a. I'm using RedHat Linux on a Celeron 400 with kernel 2.2.13. My socket options in smb.conf is set to "TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192". However I've started getting the following everytime I SIGHUP to reload the configs and stop-start:

I have found that Samba does not seem to handle the ^M EOL character very well. This seems to be a big problem with Windows Notepad and then in vi for UNIX. Other than the ux2dos and dos2ux commands does anyone know of another solution or if this has been fixed in a more current release of Samba? Thanks!

Howdy all: I thought I had this problem beaten into submission, but I guess not. We just got our first NT box, which is another new wrinkle... Anyway, the LAN just went belly-up again yesterday, and when the LAN guy disconnected my linux/samba box from the network, Network Neighborhood came right back. I still don't think it's a linux/samba problem, but I'm certainly no
