I'm running Samba v2.0.5a on a RedHat v6.0 system. This server provides SMB shares to Win98, OS/2 and Linux clients. Everything is running fine with the Win98 and OS/2 clients, but I have a few questions regarding Samba and Linux clients. 1. Is there a way for Linux systems to receive SMB messages? Something analogous to Windows' "WinPopup" or OS/2's "Network

Hi, I have a linux (redhat 6.0) print server and I am running samba 2.0.3-8 serving win95 machines. I would like the print server to send a message to the win95 when a print job is completed. To do that, I run winpopup on win95. However, if win95 users close winpopup, they do not receive any message. Is there any more realiable method to communicate with win95 machines? I would appreciate any

Hi Samba team, first I want to appologize for this spam, you probably get tons of such messages per day. However I am desparate and sick of digging into newsgroups, mailing lists and everything else ;)) Since 1 year I am trying to find a way to make samba receive winpopup messages from Windows 2000, or Xp, using the "net send" command. Receiving messages from other linux machines

Surely someone out there knows how to notify their Windows users that access to their samba server is going to be terminated.... Any help will be *greatly* appreciated. ------ Original Message ------- I would like to shut down samba before I begin my backup routine. Before I do this, I would like to send a message to the users who are logged in on their Windows machines, asking them to log

Greetings- Perhaps slightly OT, but still involving the SMB/CIFS protocol: I am searching for an application which would allow a Linux client (Ubuntu) to send/receive WinPopup messages. The only one I have located thus far is LinPopup. However, it depends on the Samba (server) package. I do not want to deploy a bazillion Samba servers! TIA! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Manao ahoana, Hello, Bonjour, We currently run courier POP . We would like to switch to Dovecot. I encounter problems when migrating the UIDL because we have big Maildirs and POP re-downlading the data is not possible for most of the users. I tried the http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script but I still have the re-downloading event. What are your stories and advices

Well, I've poked around the documentation without any success... I've got several samba servers running, but I've never been required to deal with Samba as a client on a workstation until now. The workstation is RH 7.2, Samba-common 2.2.1a and it's on a LAN with a 2.2.0 server and a pile of winXX workstations (no NT). KDE is the X environment. I needed to get linpopup going to

Just wondering if there is a way to send a WinPopup message to a user (using username). I have had a look at smbclient but it appears to only allow sending messages to a computer name. Thanks in advance, Russell Kliese

From the smb.conf help document regarding the "message command" field:- >You could make this command send mail, or whatever else takes your fancy. >Please let us know of any really interesting ideas you have. First, my question:- Does Samba do anything in particular with the standard output of the program specified here? What would it take to have it WinPopUp-ed back to the

Manao ahoana, Hello, Bonjour, My Dovecot server has to access the users Maildirs. Maildirs are on a NFS mount that only a user (vmail/500) may read and write. No one else. How to configure Dovecot so that at least disk read-write are performed as a "vmail" user (that I have created with the right attributes)? Is the workaround of changing dovecot's system UID/GID a not-so-bad one?

Is it possible to create an executable in unix, place it on a samba share, and run it from NT. i ran a little test putting "ls" in my samba share and tried double clicking it to see if it would run. my main goal is to create a batch file from NT that calls a script located on a unix box shared by samba thanks SBLI

Hello. I have a problem with samba-2.2.5 and Win2000. I try to copy a file onto my home share and the explorer takes a long time to copy the file. After a while (ca. 30 seconds) there comes an error-box: path is to long (Der Pfad ist zu lang.) The error just gives me an OK-button. The files is correctly transmitted. I checked it, but if takes a very long time and there comes the error-message.

I cannot print to a file on a samba share, because i get an error saying that the file is not present on the share. I'm sure the file is created with 0 length, and its name is mangled. It shoeld be FILE: and its mangled to file~??? Any suggestion?

I tried migrating our samba settings from one machine to another, but Windows sees it as a different server. I currently have an older version of samba setup on an old machine. I setup the latest version of samba on a different machine with different build specs (e.g. acl support, etc.). I migrated over the usernames/passwords and MACHINE.SID file (is this even used anymore?) and setup smb.conf

Has anyone tried to wrap your SMB session inside another TCP protocol like SSH? I'm trying to sync files across two linux machines but my broadband provider is blocking SMB and port 139 traffic. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated. Aram -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: not available Type:

I have two Samba servers configure similarly. One shares fine across our entire network and the other only works within its own segment. I have poured over the smb.conf files and cannot see what it preventing the one from crossing segments. These both are Debian 2.2 boxes and I am just modifying the default smb.conf files. I am hoping a fresh pair of eyes will help. Any help would be greatly

If you read my previous message about not being able to log in to my Debian 2.0 box. I figured it out. So I can now log in and map a drive to my /home/keith directory on Linux but I do not seem to have rights to the directory. I certainly have rights to it in Linux, do I have to set rights through Samba? Thanks, Keith

Hello there, I have a serious file locking problem with samba on a RH6 based Linux machine. >From the exported share a database files are being requested. Problem is, only one client can access these - and even only one client can initialize the database query engine, which is btrieve 6.15 workstation engine. The same problem affects .doc files. If one client has an open document, the file is

I would like to know if anybody on this list has managed to have a network of 98 clients running off a samba server, and had roaming profiles, i.e. people's settings follow them from machine to machine. I have done everything I find in the guides, and I have no idea why the machines create new local profiles. I've searched the net for documentation, example websites, etc, but it seems the

Before I start I should say that I will pay $2000US to get the information or code I seek. I need code or protocol specs to be able to send winpopup messages. It cannot be done via mail slots because it has to work over the internet at large. If you type in "net send x.x.x.x hello" on any windows nt or xp machines it will send a winpopup using UDP ports 137 and then 135 (also 1031 and
