Hello Samba Guru's Your last solution was so successfull I though I would try one more question to throw at you. I am currently running samba-1.9.18p7 on a Solaris 2.6 Ultra Enterprise 450. I have the default service to be homes which loads auto_home map from a Solaris server. Logon works great from Windows95 and WindowsNT Workstation clients. But when I attempt to login to the samba share

Hi James, we use some NFS mounted shares on our Linux-SCO-network. Samba runs on the linux box. The linux server mounts some NFS shares from the SCO server. The access error should not be a samba failure. Make sure that the directory above the mountpoint is accessable for user nobody (chmod o+x , if you upgrade to samba > 1.9.18p7 make sure that there is read permission on the directories too:

Hi! When I enter smbpaswd as a normal user iget the following error: Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 139 machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified password is invalid.

Hi everyone, We use samba 2.0.4 and are very glad of it. However, recently I had to add a backup facility on our network, so we plan to purchase Arcserve IT for NT, in order to backup our servers. We are using mainly 3 Linux servers and 1 NT server, which runs the backup service. However, as Itried to add a simple share on the file server to enable backup, later I encounter problems with

Hi again, I was previously writing for a problem with Arcserve IT and Samba (with linux). The connection drops after 15 minutes. Continuing to understand what's happening, I discovered the following message in the logs: [1999/06/01 14:42:08, 0] smbd/files.c:file_new(85) ERROR! Out of file structures Immediatly I ran into the samba code to try to understand the cause of the problem.

Hello, I am having a very speific problem with my samba interface. We just migrated to a new IBM pSeries server with AIX 5.3. The older server was a RS6000, with AIX 5.2 and everything I'm about to describe below worked without fail. We have a Windows 2000 Server that runs IIS. There is a web-based program (programmed in VB Script) that calls test.sh AIX script (through samba) on our AIX

Hi ! I have a problem after changing NT sp3 to sp4 and Samba from 1.x to 2.0. Now 20% of file transfers crashes with errors: [1999/01/29 09:34:37, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(138) error packet at line 1540 cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) eclass=1 ecode=6 What's that? System is practically unusable... I use Linux 2.0.36 or 2.2. The handshake is: [1999/01/29 09:34:37, 3]

Hi! Even with 2.0.4, I'm still seeing a lot of oplock break failures (clients failing, see log further down). The client hangs for approx 30 secs (sometimes more) and then gets back online. At least one user can't use the file shares at all; it hangs whatever he does, and on any computer he uses (NT or 98, laptop, desktop...) Other users have less problems, but maybe they are less

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

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

Hi there, I am experiencing some odd behaviour with my samba server (version 2.0.7 running on mandrake 8.0). The server comes up ok and appears on the browse list, but you cannot list the shares on it. The following error shows up when I use smbclient -L: tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.) I think I have figured out what is going wrong from the

Hi everybody, I'm having issues with samba. When I try to see my shares from a Windows 2000 station, I get the following error message: I've checked the log file, I could see that these errors always have to do with the /root/tmp folder, whose permissions I think it is allright: [root@printerserver2 /root]#ls -la ... drwxrw-rw- 2 root root 4096 Feb 9 16:54 tmp/ ..

Hello Samba Gurus: I have a unusual printing problem on a Samba server (version samba-1.9.18p7) on a Solaris 2.6 server. Basically I had 2 Solaris 2.5.1 machines that were retired when this new machine was deployed. Each individual machine had Samba shares and printers on it individually. Those file systems and printers were then duplicated on the new server. The version of Samba was the same

Hi! I've got the fillowing trouble. Im' trying to get the local shares list. I started the smbd using "/etc/init.d/smb restart" script. It seem to work fine. The smb.conf and log.smb are listed below. The smbd says that he "Can't change directory to /root/tmp" when I'm trying to "smbclient -L localhost -U%". The permissions for /tmp/SHARE are

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

Hi folks, I'am using Samba 2.0.0 on a Linux and a Sun box and i have the following problem: I can log in from a smbclient but not from an NT Client using Security=Domain. 1.) Doubleclick on the machine opens the password dialouge (which should'n appear, beacuse i'am already logged in the domain) Enter my domainusername and password. Window dissapears and appears again and forces me

Samba is causing a couple huge problems for the NT admins here since we switched a bunch of machines to security=server and started running nmbd. We're running Samba 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 on a mix of Solaris, HP-UX, and OSF1 machines. One, selecting a Samba server in Server Manager, then selecting Computer/ Services causes Server Manager to crash ("An application error has occurred, blah blah,

I've run into an annoying permission problem with Samba 2.0.2 on FreeBSD 2.2.6. I have a share named siteimages that is set up with "force group = www". User neuro is in group 1000 (user), but not group 1001 (www). The directory for siteimages is 0770, owned by nobody.www. Obviously, neuro does not have access to that directory normally, but forcing the group should give him
