Funny thing happening with an NT Client: it sees all the files in a public Samba share, but when I make any change (like renaming a file or dropping files into it) the change doesn't show up in the window until I press F5 (Refresh). Is it some config in Samba whichs defaults to "lazy" behavior which I'm failing to see? Thanx 4All, Juan --

I'm toying with the idea of writing a Samba-oriented Win95/98/NT logon window. I know it's possible to replace Windows' logon mechanism with another. Novell's Client32 does this. I know there's also standards to make a network service available to Windows' change-password mechanism (so I can fire smbpasswd on the other side). That could be an alternative to establishing

Hi! Is there any syntax for read list or write list in smb.conf that allows me to specify users NOT in a group?

Our ISP experienced backbone problems yesterday. Our backbone provider's backbone provider (EMBRATEL, the newly-privatized telecom company of Brazil) went down for a few hours. That was a big problem itself, but what I'll tell you is a weird side effect: Samba stopped working on our local network!!! I checked DNS, resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, smb.conf, everything! While our Internet

I got mcp mag a day or two ago, Great writeup!! I was a little surprised that they ran such a glowing review of samba, with some of the negative implications on NT. It is very nice to see Microsoft show an interest in interoperability. -Steve Roylance > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremy Allison [SMTP:jallison@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 15, 1999 6:41 PM >

Hi, The 'socket options' option IPTOS_LOWDELAY no longer works in 2.0.2. I had this parameter set in 1.9.18p10 however now when a samba process is started a warning of 'Unknown socket option IPTOS_LOWDELAY' is displayed. The man for smb.conf states the following: You may find that on some systems Samba will say "Unknown socket option"

If you don't want to type the ip adress of your samba server every time you connect, add a entry to your local hosts file and lmhosts file. You will find this files (and sample files with extension ".sam") in the windows main directory of Win95 and under "system32/drivers/etc" on WinNT 4.0.

Please excuse me if this has been covered, but I just noticed something odd with samba 2 beta 1. If I use smbclient to connect to a passworded resource on a win machine (I've tried it with 98/95) and I just hit enter for the password, it lets me in. No questions asked. So, I pretty much have unlimited read access to stuff I should not be able to get to. Best Regards. If this is the wrong

I have an old dos app that doesn't run in the win95 shell very well. There are problems with the graphics. Is it possible to connect to a samba server from real dos? I assume the answer is no but I thought I would check. Verne Ball vball@socrates.berkeley.edu

I want to install a linux samba server to serve 30 win9x machines. I want to prevent users from writing on the local drives, they should have write access only to their home dirs on the samba box. These users have a nasty habit of deleting crucial system files. Is it at all possible with win9x and samba? Of course NT workstations could resolve the problem, but that's not an option with these

I'm sure this is a FAQ, though I couldn't find it in any FAQ or the docs... How do I have Samba authenticate users via the local UNIX passwd file? -- Gregor Mosheh An NT server can be run by an idiot, and usually is. "If you can't make it good, make it LOOK good." - Bill Gates

Because, a bug in a sofware, I need to see (on a NT box) the name of files in upercase. The files are writen by a buggy UNIX process in lowercase. Any one have idea ? Didier JANNE Janne@securite.org

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 ?

I was trying to recreate this kind of timeline plot: http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelArticles/create-a-timeline.html As you can see in their excel example, the events are nicely placed out on both sides of the timeline axis. AFAIK there is no function to do this nicely in R-project. Furthermore, graphics and lattice packages are unable to draw the x-axis in the middle of the plot. (datapoints

Anyone knows of an open mailing list / newsgroup about VMware? If such a thing doesn't exist, I'll happily create one and, if not much of an annoyance, advertise it here -- just once I promise! ;) I'd like to discuss heavy-metal technical issues about the relationship between VMware, the Linux kernel, X, Samba and the like. Thank you for your kind attention. -------------- next part

Well I figured it out.. did not know that I could make a host file on the winblows client.
