Hi everyone, We use samba 2.0.4 and are very glad of it. However, recently I had to add a backup facility on our network, so we plan to purchase Arcserve IT for NT, in order to backup our servers. We are using mainly 3 Linux servers and 1 NT server, which runs the backup service. However, as Itried to add a simple share on the file server to enable backup, later I encounter problems with

Sorry that I will ask a kind of a vague question, but I don't really know how to proceed at the moment: Some of our Samba (1.9.18p10) users experience the following problem: they map a drive to a Samba share (pointing into AFS, if that matters) and see all files/dirs correctly after the password dialog. 'Some time' later (for one user usually about one hour) they try to use the drive

Hello, I am having a very speific problem with my samba interface. We just migrated to a new IBM pSeries server with AIX 5.3. The older server was a RS6000, with AIX 5.2 and everything I'm about to describe below worked without fail. We have a Windows 2000 Server that runs IIS. There is a web-based program (programmed in VB Script) that calls test.sh AIX script (through samba) on our AIX

Hi again, I was previously writing for a problem with Arcserve IT and Samba (with linux). The connection drops after 15 minutes. Continuing to understand what's happening, I discovered the following message in the logs: [1999/06/01 14:42:08, 0] smbd/files.c:file_new(85) ERROR! Out of file structures Immediatly I ran into the samba code to try to understand the cause of the problem.

Hi there ! I just upgraded (last friday night) our main Samba host to Samba 2.0.0 from version 1.9.18p10. This host provides access to our own file based database system. The number of Samba clients is around 60 (nearly all NT4.0's and few NT3.51's). The Samba 2.0.0 host runs 'uname -a': HP-UX vertex A.09.05 A 9000/720 65914162 two-user license After the upgrade change I've

Could anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong here? I'm using samba-1.9.18p8 on a Linux 2.0.32 box, RedHat 5.0 install. I can descend into this share from a WinNT box just fine, but get the following error messages from a Win95 box.

Hello, we have a Linux box running Samba 2.2.7a and several clients running Windows NT 4 WS (last service pack) and Windows 95 (last service pack too). All clients are running a program made in ACU-Cobol for Windows and sometimes the NT machines abort the execution reporting a cobol blocking error. This usually results in broken indexes... We have traced the execution and haven't found the

We are experiencing problems with Adobe Photoshop and Samba, all versions up to 2.0.6. We run Samba off Compaq Alphaservers (ie 64 bit). Symptoms: 1) On doing a "Save As" in Photoshop, we intermittently get: "Could not save as F:\<filename> because the file is already in use or was left open". A zero length file is left on the Samba share. 2) Problem only

A PC running Windows 95 has a share mounted from a Samba 2.0.7 server running under Mac OS X Server. An attempt is being made to copy a file on the PC called suse.iso to a subdirectory of the share (faberlab) on the Samba server. The PC hangs a bit and eventually complains that it can't create the file. Here is the debug log starting from the moment the copy has begun... [2000/06/02

I'm having a problem with files locking so that every time the are opened up they are opened as Read-Only. Windows doesn't see them as readonly but Samba thinks that they are write=no and so they can't be saved or deleted. I've included a log, my smb.conf, and a getfacl of a user's home directory as well as a getfacl of the directory from /home. Any help would be

Hi ! I have a problem after changing NT sp3 to sp4 and Samba from 1.x to 2.0.

Hello, I try samba 3.0.2a with Mandrake 10 Official release. It works pretty well but one exception, "dotless i", a Turkish character. The other Turkish characters works. If any filename contains dotless i, this file/directory is inaccessible from win98 clients. I setup with Turkish locale. And i run samba with "export LC_ALL=C". Otherwise it runs, but doesn't share

I'm having a difficult time setting up printing from a remote client to a Linux server. Please email replies to mlepage@cgowave-16-35.cgocable.net as I am having difficulty subscribing to the mailing list.

Hi - A client reported this morning that the "Save As" function in some tax planning software they use "didn't work with the new server" (Samba 1.9.17p2 on intel/linux v 2.0.30). All client machines are Win95 OSR2. Essentially, when you type a name in the save as dialog and press enter, a backslash is added to the end of the new filename (in the dialog, that is),

I have a Red Hat 8.0 PC with a scanner connected and I am scanning images with sane. I would like to store the scanned images on a Red Hat 7.3 file server using Samba, but I am having some difficulty understanding how the file and directory security preferences work.

Hi -- I originally posted the following message about 2 weeks ago -- I don't mean to annoy but really need to solve this problem - if anyone can shed any light on the issue I'd greatly appreciate it. Since the original post, we've run the application with its data on network drives shared from 95, NT, and Novell, and all work fine, as does saving locally. It only fails on a
