similar to: NT PDC forgets it's the domain master browser! Why???

On 31 Mar 99, Jim Watt <jimw@pe-nelson.com> had questions about NT PDC forgets it's the domain master browser! Why???: [snip] > For about a week after the PDC is rebooted, everything is fine. > Clients on both networks can see all the machines in the domain, > indicating that Samba and the PDC are synchronizing browse > lists.

Hi, I am getting this log entry in the nmb.log file. Any ideas why I am getting it? query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet 9.36. 220.43 for name WHITE<1d>. This response was from IP 9.36.223.255 Thanks Chip

Hi all... I need to make a few queries to WINS, but am unsure how to do so. 'nmblookup' will allow me to enter an IP address and get information about the machine name, domain, and username. I want to do the opposite...I would like to have a tool that will take a username and return the IP address. I know this information is stored in WINS somehow, and I am capable of writing some Perl

I just downloaded 2.04a, and when attempting to examine it, I received: [...] -rwxr-xr-x 1 1002 1002 282323 May 17 16:27 samba-2.0.4a/source/configure tar: End of archive volume 1 reached tar: ustar vol 1, 687 files, 10711040 bytes read.

I have a Win95 machine that I am trying to connect to a Samba share. When I log in as administrator, I can connect to any and all samba shares just fine. When I log onto the PC as a normal user, it asks for a password and rejects them all. The logs say "server xyz rejected password" for each of these attempts. This server has SP3 and I *do* have the encryption stuff compiled in. I

As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the new NT_Security document was present in the 2.0.4 tarball as a yodl file, but not as text or html documents. I've re-released the tarball on samba.org (and it will propagate to all the mirrors shortly) as samba-2.0.4a.tar.gz containing the new NT_Security.html and NT_Security.txt documents. I also took the opportunity to fix the typo in the

Hello, I'm getting a really wacky problem with samba running on solaris 2.7 ./smbclient -L zeus -N -- gives: session request to ZEUS failed (Called name not present) session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present) The NT side give "\\Zeus is not accesible." "network name was not found" messages The same smb.conf file works on a solaris 2.5 and 2.6

I am an newby to samba, and I have a user who is getting permission denied when he attempts to copy files from his PC to his UNIX account. Everything appears to be working correctly on the samba server. I believe he is the only one having a problem. I found this message in the log.smb file after his copy attempt: libsmb/namequery.c:resolve_name(644) resolve_name: unknown name switch type

Greetings Earthlings: I finally convinced the LAN guy to remove NetBlooie from our windoze clients. I also made the samba box the local and master browser (we have no NT boxes at the moment). Local browsing seems to have gotten faster (at least Mr. Robinson's Network Neighborhood resolves faster). However, our LAN is isolated (windoze clients dial out to get to the internet, retrieve

> Further to my previous post, I have made an interesting discovery. This > particular slowdown only occurs from clients that are running > Windows 98. The Windows98 explorer (and possibly other programs) incorrectly set the "sync" bit in write requests to network shares. This causes an enormous slowdown as Samba (quite correctly) does a fsync() on the file after each write.

I've used oplocks = no for a long time now, because of the famous "oplock_break" error, but I decided to give 2.0.7 a try. I still get "oplock break" errors as before, but this time I got a new error too: [2000/05/02 10:04:52, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(976) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file XXXXX/xxxxxx/mailbox.pst

The Samba FAQ mentions a program called timesync to update the system clock on clients from the server. The download address in the FAQ is out of date - where can I get a copy ?

Hi, I want my Samba 2.2.4 Machine to join my nt-domain. When I try this I recognize that samba seems to use a wrong IP-Adress! I have no Idea where this wrong adress comes from!? Any Ideas? --- cut --- # /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -D 10 -j CAD -r bsadpp01 -Uadministrator ... a lot of text ...

I have R v2.0.1 already running on the machine in question; a fairly generic Fedora Core 3 machine. I am trying to build the new version 2.1.0 and have not been able to troubleshoot the problem I encountered. I'm hoping someone else has seen it and can suggest a troubleshooting avenue to me. The build succeeds, both from the source RPM and from the tarball. I believed I had all the build

Hi all ! I have a PDC and a BDC in 2 differents subnets. I would like to sync their browse list but it doesn't seem to work. Actually here are a part my smb.conf files : PDC ------------------------------ ... remote browse sync = 10.10.20.10 remote announce = 10.10.20.10 security = user encrypt passwords = true domain logons = Yes os level = 70 preferred master = yes domain master = yes

Upgraded to Samba 3.5.6 from 3.5.2. Samba is running as a standalone server on a box that was upgraded from Slackware 13.1 to Slackware 13.37. All Win XP Pro and Win 7 Pro clients can connect to the workgroup and browse shares and folders exactly as before; however, many complain of intermittent pauses, slowdowns and "Not Responding" messages when traversing directories. The samba server

I've seen error messages about this since we installed 1.9.18p10 of samba, so I went looking in the code for the context. Here (from password.c) is the context: /* * Attempt a session setup with a totally incorrect password. * If this succeeds with the guest bit *NOT* set then the password * server is broken and is not correctly setting the guest bit.
