I've been suggested to get some logs and give a brief description of the problem I'm encountering with Cadds5 / Samba 2.0.6 and offer them to you , via http or ftp , to try to find a solution I 've collected the logs , can I send them with a description of the problem Thanks Stefano Colombo ( scolombo@cdmtc.it ) System / Network Engineer CDM Tecnoconsulting SPA v.

Here's a second set of diffs for sanity-checking smb.conf files. This one implements a basic set of checks on netbios names. No, it won't recognize someone using an ip address, but it will realize the dots don't belong: $ testparm Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf WARNING: netbios name "127.0.0.1" contained a dot, which is only legal in DNS domain

Dear Dave, Doesn't this only work if you're using samba as a domain controller and the client says "net use h: /home" I've not got it to redirect "//server1/username" to "//server2/username" when the NIS map says "user server2:/path/&" Though if it could be done I'd be VERY keen.
