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

I've seen this happen several times, and, short of rebooting the NT PDC, I can't seem to fix it. Background: We have two numbered networks in the building. We have an NT domain that has members on both numbered networks. To keep browse lists straight, I've designated Samba as the browse master on one of the networks. It's declared to be in the same workgroup as the NT primary

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

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.

My server is RH 5.2 and i use Samba 1.9.18p10 and the client use WFW 3.11 with tcp/ip protocols installed. The subnet and the IP Address is right but I still only telnet form WFW 3.11 to Linux...not the reverse. On Linux telnet is working. I've checked it through this cmdline "telnet localhost 23 or telnet 127.0.0.1" . And I also testparm smb.conf and nothing wrong happen. FYI I set

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

Is there anyway to ascertain what shares a client actually has mounted at a given time? I've got a number of WFW boxes connecting shared drives on my SCO-OSE3 box using SAMBA 1.9.16p5 (upgrading to latest version RSN). I've got some shell scripts on the Unix box which use escape sequences sent to the client telnet to start programs on the client side. Some of these programs assume

-------------- next part -------------- Hello everybody!!! First of all I must say that I'm not an English speaker, so this text may sound a little extrange. I apollogize..... Well, I'm having problems with the SMB printing system. I have spent a lot of time (nearly 15 hours and a houndred of configurations) in it but I could not use it as a printing server.

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

Hi. I wanted to set diskless win95 but I read the list archives and I decided not to do it diskless. So I tried diskless windows but I got a problem. I do this. 1.- I did booting images with bootware proms. 2.- I managed to install DOS clients from microsoft. That was painfull because the one I downloaded from MS didn't connected to my samba server. I used a dos clients that creates a NT

I have two Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server with 2x 3,0 GHz P4 and 4 GB RAM. On each server rsync runs as cygwin daemon (rsync version 2.6.6; protocol version 29). The two servers are connected through a 2 MBit VPN link. When I sync a single large file or a whole directory, rsync only uses 50% of the available bandwidth. When I do the same between windows and linux server, rsync takes the

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 ?
