Hi all, I want to move a filesystem off of my NT server over to my Network Appliance NFS server to then be shared via Samba. I assume the easiest way to accomplish this would be to use smbtar. Do I then use smbtar to extract the tar file I create with smbtar, or, can I use gnutar? Does it matter? Am I safer sticking with smbtar? I'm guessing that since smbtar is a wrapper around

Just wondering if there is a way to get drive namings to change according to who's logged into the network. ie. 'bob' logs into windows networking and gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. Now if 'sue' logs into windows networking on the same pc she gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. But E: contains sue's stuff. So is there a way into making 'sue'

I do not know how many others are in this case, but I must use either floppies or tapes to transport the Samba product after I download it. Floppies are more convenient than tape because the tape medium is TK50 on OpenVMS and it is very slow. Is is possible to produce the production release in a two archive set so that it can be more easily sneaker-netted? Thank you, John Malmberg

Hi all, I've recently set up a samba server, but just discovered that people on the "other" side can't reach it. The system shows up in Network Neighborhood, but you can't double click on it. It returns a message saying that the server is either inaccessible, or that I misspelled the name (How I did that with just one mouse click is beyond me ;) I had 'allow

Hi all, I've been running a Samba server here for over 6 months now will great success. This past weekend I moved the Samba server to a new subnet, and now I can't see any of the various aliases from Samba server. I was previously able to see the aliases in NN across my 2 different subnets by using the 'wins server = ' parameter. The wins server I was registering with is on yet

If you don't want to type the ip adress of your samba server every time you connect, add a entry to your local hosts file and lmhosts file. You will find this files (and sample files with extension ".sam") in the windows main directory of Win95 and under "system32/drivers/etc" on WinNT 4.0.

I have set up everything so that NT4 SP3 users can use my FreeBSD machine as a printer/file share fine. But it seems to me that every user I want grant access to my machine and is it even for browsing only needs to have an account and must run smbpasswd once on my unix machine. How can I let arbitrary users/workgroups let browse my printers? -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies

Environment: HP-UX 10.20 Samba 1.9.18p10 ; compiled with -DAUTOMOUNT option. We are using our samba server to mount various automounted directories including user's home. auto.home map takes care of mounting user's home automagically but for other directories, I have to put a share name for each of them (and there are hundreds of them). Is it possible to define one share name (like

The purpose i am trying to acheive is every time the server reboots , it should start smbd and nmbd automatically.

Hi all! I have problem with Samba and NT 4.0 workstation. I configured Samba 1.9.17p2 under FreeBSD so some directories became accessible from Windows 95. But when I tried to access them from NT Workstation, I received error message : System error 1240 has occurred. The account is not authorized to login from this station. Both machines are in domain, [global] section looks like : [global]

Environment: Solaris 2.5.1 Samba 1.9.18p3 We run samba from inetd (no special reason - just how its been done in the past).

Hi, This is my first SAMBA 2.0.0.0 install under AIX 4.3.1. I can find the server in Win95 via menus START:Find:Computer. If I double click the Network Neighborhood icon the SAMBA AIX server is not showing. Should it work this way? Thanks, Allen

Hi people, Is there somebody who knows how to install SAMBA 2.0 on Solaris 2.6? Thanks, Rivaldo

I was very excited when I ran across the "UNIX password sync" directive in the smb.conf!!! THAT would be convenient and really add to the making the server seamless!! Unfortunately I haven't been able to get the unix and smbpasswords to sync from changing within win95. The posts I've seen in the mailing list concerning sync have so far gone unanswered :-( I'm just looking
