FYI: I'm using samba 2.0.6 for clearcase interoperation between Unix and NT, and while it works great 99% of the time, I run into a problem whenever I do a complete build on an NT system, which involves compiling ~1500 files. The first 1100 or so are compiled correctly, but then the following errors show up on the NT box: The system cannot open the device or file specified. And the

Hi.

Im running an accounting package (Sage Businessworks) and I'm running into issues with file locking with this program when I put the businessworks data files on a Samba file share. I'd like to get it off a NT file share if at all possible as Im about to decommission our NT server. Im running Samba 2.0.6 Im seeing errors from any machine accessing the Accounting data: ==> log.ryan

I'm using samba 2.1 pre-alpha. When I right click an .exe file on the most shares, explorer freezes, and must be killed to recover. The problem doesn't show up on the home shares, but appears on any other shares I create. I've experienced this problem on many different workstations. Looking at the logs, it seems to be a problem with oplocks; the part of the log that seems to apply is

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.

How can I set the sticky bit on new directories via share definition ? (samba 2.0.6) This doesn't work: [share] .... directory mode = 1777 ^ Any idea? Best Regards Markus Koelle mkoelle@gmx.de

I've set "force directory mode = 1775" in smb.conf, but when I make directories in a share through network neighborhood, I end up with 0775, i.e. user has rwx, group rwx, others rx. The sticky bit is not getting set. What am I doing wrong? thanks in advance, Ed Schernau ed@schernau.com Network Architect

Hello, Although I've been using samba for years at my customers office, I recently moved one on a HP E60 server running RedHat 6.2. The samba version is 2.0.6, untouched from the distribution. They use a (weird) accounting software built on the top of FoxPro, requiring a *huge* amount of open files. I accordingly raised the values for files-nr and inode-nr and the stats seem ok. They have

We are experiencing problems with Adobe Photoshop and Samba, all versions up to 2.0.6. We run Samba off Compaq Alphaservers (ie 64 bit). Symptoms: 1) On doing a "Save As" in Photoshop, we intermittently get: "Could not save as F:\<filename> because the file is already in use or was left open". A zero length file is left on the Samba share. 2) Problem only

Hi, I've just installed Samba 2.0.3 and now I'm getting following error: PAM_pwdb[306]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> andreas for samba service I can connect to all shares and printers, but get the error. I suppose it has something to do with the passwords (I'm trying to sync Samba and Linux passwords). Any ideas? /Andreas

I've compiled samba 2.0.0beta4 on Sun (sparc) Solaris 2.6. I can use smbclient to list the shares, but whenever i try to connect to the machine, i get the following error message: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) I have SECURTY = USER in smb.conf when I try to use smbpasswd to reset the password on

fyi the way that this will be used is to have: encrypted passwords = no update encrypted = yes for a few days, have everyone log in with their clear-text password, and a private/smbpasswd file will automatically be generated. then switch to encrypted passwords = yes update encrypted = no and voila. if you were feeling _really_ adventurous you could have: include = smb.conf.%M and have one

Hi Samba-gurus, I have a problem with samba 2.0.0beta4 on solaris 2.5.1 (samba 1.9.18p10 behaves the same) : 1. I have a ordinary text-file on a samba-share (foo.txt). NT4.0 sees the samba-share (\\sun100\tmp) as a netdrive with the letter K:. I've done a 'net use k: \\sun100\tmp'. 2. I can doubleclick in NT4.0-explorer on foo.txt and notepad comes up correctly. 3. I

Hi, I get this error message in the log for a Win98 client which is regularly scanning a directory on the share. When this happens the client no longer can access any data in the shares (security=share), only the toplevel directory structure of a share is still accessible. This seems to be a new problem in 2.0.5/6pre (not sure if it already happened for 2.0.4). Any hints? Franz. Platform:

hi, i've compiled Version: 1.9.18-HEAD, with NTDOMAIN, and after many hours of testing/reading/debugging it seems it 'almost works'.

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)----------------------------------- ---
