Hello All, I am using Linux6.0(running samba) as a file server on my network, everything is good when I configure samba authenticate on other machine such as WinNT4.0. But when I have configured samba authenticate on itself (security = user) I received message error "smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(506) Account for user 'david' was disabled". In this mode I created

Everything is working perfect on win95 but from NT4: I can create, delete and rename files I can create and delete directories Problem: I can't rename created directories from the NT4 workstations on the network. And this is a big problem since NT4 creates a "New Folder" and asks you to type in the name you want. I have a 2.0.6 distribution on a SGI Origin200 Irix6.4 server. I

I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

I am running RedHat8, samba 2.2.7 The mailing list archives seem to pin the 2gb problem on several unrelated issues (all of which i explored). The machines in question have no problems creating 2+gb files locally and via NFS. Is this an issue with smbfs? smbmount? anyone have a workaround? -- 'As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity

Our network is primarily Windows NT including a FreeBSD 2.2.5 server running a FreeBSD port of Samba 2.0.3. When I try to connect to the FreeBSD machine from my Windows NT workstation I get the following errors: using "net view \\NS1" Access denied. using "net use * \\NS1\tmp /user:hjohnson" and then entering my password The account is not authorized to login from this

Hello, As anybody ever experienced the following problem: When we try to print a page, we get the following error: Unable to start print job due to insufficient memory or invalid printer specification The strange thing is that it was working fine before, we tried to add an additional printer and after that nothing was working. If we remove the printers and recreate just this one we get the

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

Hi, I have an issue in dos printing. My okidata dot matrix printer is directly connected to linux box and is a shared printer in samba . I am using lprng. My problem is with dos printing. When i print, it spools first indicated in the windows printer window. It takes a minute before it actually sends to the linux box, you will see an indicator of spooled bytes. Once it is submitted it prints

I would like to use smbmount on a SGI running IRIX 6.5.1m. The distribution of samba for IRIX does not include the executables smbmount or smbmnt. Is there a source for these executables?

Hi, This is a very scary problem I have here. I use a precompiled 2.0.6 samba on my SGI IRIX 6.3 system. I also have smbpasswd file setup. When I tried to change the samba password using smbpasswd program ( from a non root account whic I use) I got an error messgae saying that it cannot change the password.

Greetings group, I am looking for something from Samba that is similar to: nbtstat -A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx In Windows 95. This will give you back the registered name and some other Workstation info.

Dear folks, We are running SAMBA (2.0.5.a) in a test-enviroment using an IBM Risc 6000 / 370 (AIX 4.3.2) as server. The frontends are pc's running NT 4.0 (SP6). Is it possible to connect from one frontend to the same share as two different users (with different passwords and privileges)? The connection works out perfectly for every single user but when we try to connect one user after the

Is there anyway to get Samba to pass back printer driver data to a client the way NT print servers do. This makes life so much easier. From the Samba source, it looks like the 'driverdata' field for a printer is just set to the string "NULL". The CIFS specs that I found don't discuss what should be returned in that field. NOTE: I am already using the DRIVERNAME configuration

Hi, I think I've found a bug. When I create a file from win95 it's stored in the server with the date of creation. (that's ok) If I update the file from win95 the date of the file changes but it's stored as one hour less than it should be. (not so ok) example: 1.- I create a file at 16:45 $ ls -ld b.txt Nov 12 16:45 b.txt 2.- I update that file one minute

hi out there i am not able to create new shares with swat, whats wrong ? -- hops

Greetings- We use smbclient -M to send a Message of the Day to clients every once in a while. The clients are NT4 (SP3), and the server is Samba 1.9.19-prealpha. However, the same problem appears with version 2.0.0. The issue is: once the file to be sent exceeds approximately 675 bytes (smbclient reports sending 975 bytes, presumably including some overhead), the message turns up blank on the

Hi, I might have overlooked something very obvious, but: I am running Samba 2.0.3 on a SuSE 6.0 system.
