Hello all, Either the docs or the value in smb.conf.default is wrong. (Or at least confusing).

Hey, Would anyone be able to point me to info on ACL_REVISION3 specifications? My lowly MSDN and SDK seem to only know about ACL_REVISION2. A file on Win 2000 share has revision 2, same file copied to samba share has revision 3. Context: I am looking at the security descriptor for files under Windows 2000.

Is there a way to get information on a print job from the command line? For example: > smb_print_query smbprn.00002.a12345 jobid = pr1000-555 filename = Notepad - sample.txt owner = dan_thibadeau machine = mylaptop size = 1234 bytes or something like that? Thanks, Dan Thibadeau

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

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

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

I set up winbind on one box successfully. Now a friend told me that it might be better to use ActiveDirectoriy (the PDC and all other servers are win2000). What is the difference in both approaches? which is 'better'? I feel that ldap is the more general and cleaner solution. Is that true? My windows-admins will get rid of wins soon. does winbind rely on wins? can libnss-ldap also create

Thankyou for taking the time to read this ... We have large PC userbase and a not-so-large (but equally loud) Unix user base. We have a requirement to "PopUp" information windows on ALL our user's screens with an absolute minimum of manual intervention (ie type the message once and then forget it). We can manage the Unix X servers but can't seem to find a UNIX application that

Recently, a problem developed in storing IE5's Temporary Internet Files on our samba exported network scratch space. In tracking it down, I found that the Win2k client attempts to set the ACL of the file "Content.IE5/index.dat". However, the this call ends up setting the mode of index.dat to 0407 (-r-----rwx), thus making the file unmodifiable to the user who created it. (This in

I am running Samba with Winbind to authenticate against an NT 4.0 domain. Everything appears to be working fine. Problem is when I do response time comparison between file services on NT vs Samba, NT is twice as fast. The testing was a simple program that created 200 directories then deleted them, copied a 145 meg file then deleted it and then copied 779 files and then deleted them. Timestamps

I know in some ways the answer is RTFM, but I'm not even sure which docs to read or where they are. I've posted about my printing problem before (Win2k SP2 won't print to my Linux server printer), and even though I've had some suggestions, nothing has worked (after a solid week of trying combinations in smb.conf, I'm close to having to drop Linux and go to a complete

I keep getting "Windows cannot copy file \\ssp1\profiles ... to C:\Documents And Settings\..." when trying to log into a Samba PDC using a Windows 2000 SP2 client. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?

Hello All, Does anyone know how one could send the same Winpopup message to all Win-clients on a network? I need it for building a fail-over system, in case our primary server goes down, I need a way to automate the process of informing all clients that they need to log-off the network, wait a few minutes and then log back on, while the back-up server switches a few configuration files and
