Hi again, I posted this message some time ago in the list, however nobody replied yet. I find this kinda weird because the problem happens with both my XP computers, so I am pretty sure there must be at least a couple of guys out there with the same problem... Basically the problem is that when using Samba shares from XP from time to time I experience a ~30 second lockup of the shares. This

Hello, i am running Samba 2.2.3a on a Red Hat Linux 7.3 box with kernel 2.4.18-10. I am experiencing some problems on a particular samba share, which is accessed by 10 Windows 98SE clients working on a COBOL production packet by mapping with a G: letters this samba folder. Well, some times a day it happens that this packed blocks because some files on that samba folder remains locked; i

After upgrading from 2.0.10a to 2.2.4, I'm seeing many new messages being logged. What does this mean?

Dear Samba users, I've had a problem recently with Samba (2.2.3a, and now 2.2.5) on my OpenBSD 3.1-stable Installation.

We are running samba 2.2.3a ( for about 3000 users ) on HP/UX 11.11 fileservers. Our customers are complaining about slow response on the opening/closing of files in office/excel etc. In the samba log file we see the following messages : [2002/10/29 09:03:27, 0] ../source/smbd/oplock.c:(761) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file My

Hi, Thought I posted this already two weeks ago. Haven't seen any reactions yet, so I post it again We got the following problem here: Every now and then, users are unable to save Word or Excel documents on our Samba server. We already tried a couple of things: disabling oplocks, increasing oplock break wait time, putting the documents on a new share, ... but to no success so far. The

When trying to delete or copy over certain files on my Samba server, Windows hangs for some time and then gives "access denied". I can delete these files directly from the server, so it's a Samba or Windows problem. There seems to be nothing special about these files, other than that Samba doesn't like touching them. Upon checking the Samba logs, I find this message or

Hello everyone! I've been testing the 3.0 beta 3 (I've just upgraded from 2.2.7), and made a PDC configuration with Windows XP Pro clients. Everything works fine, however, I'm fine tuning the NT and Unix group mapping; in particular, I want to map the Unix group 'users' to the NT group 'Power Users'. I've tried: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Power Users"

Hi all, I use samba 2.2.2 on AIX 4.3.2 (1500 NT4 sp6a / w2k sp2 workstation). since i had updated from 2.0.7 to 2.2.2 the CPU load will very fast go to 100% an d teh memory use of a smbd process will grow up to 100 MB.

Hi all. I have (another) little question about XP and Samba 3.0b3 acting as PDC. When I press CTRL+ALT+DEL in my XP Client I see the message: ",,, has started session as BOOGERSOFT\Boogerman" (BOOGERSOFT is my domain, and Boogerman is my username). I also see the ",,," in the top of XP's start menu (when using XP's startmenu instead of the "classic" start

Hello, all. I'm using Samba 2.2.2 at my FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE server, and have next problems: There is pool of W2K machines, each starting compilation job (usually 2 at one dual CPU machine). Then these jobs trying to simultaneously access sources, located at Samba server, appear problems. Then I running 2 compilation threads from single machine - there is no problems.

Hi! I've been using samba for some time now with about 20 users and with remote installation of Windows XP from dos (TFTPboot image with dos network drivers - ms client 1.6c). On all releases (up to, and including 2.2.5) a recursive xcopy (from dos) copied all files normally. When I upgraded to samba 2.2.6, the recursive xcopy (win98 version of xcopy.exe, copying from a mapped drive)

Hi Does any one has idea if Samba supports client side oplocks. i.e if we are using "smbclient" If yes how to enable/disable it. Where can we get the details. Thanks Pankaj

Hi, I have referred to the archive and some of you were having the oplock_break problem. Does anyone have any solution for this? Will reboot fix the problem? Please advise. regards, Bridget

Dear Sirs, I have a problem with very slow performances opening files and saving them (specially from applications) from Windows XP to my Samba server (Debian). Is there someone that had the same problem? Thank you in advance for your answer, Silvio.

For some strange reason, a samba setup which was previously working has suddenly stopped working, and I can't figure out why. The symptoms is that attempts to write some files onto a samba filesystem take a long time, and then error out with the error message (in Windows dialog box): "Cannot create or replace <filename>: The specified network resource or device is no longer

Hello everybody, I have 2 questions about Samba operation: First, hostnames don't work in my "hosts allow" directive, although smb.conf(5) explicitly says "You can specify the hosts by name or IP number". If I specify a client by its name, that client is not allowed access, even though the server can do reverse DNS on the client's IP. The message I get in the
