Hi all, I want to move a filesystem off of my NT server over to my Network Appliance NFS server to then be shared via Samba. I assume the easiest way to accomplish this would be to use smbtar. Do I then use smbtar to extract the tar file I create with smbtar, or, can I use gnutar? Does it matter? Am I safer sticking with smbtar? I'm guessing that since smbtar is a wrapper around

I need to use a samba server (linux redhat 6.0 ) from a diskless dos machine ( has a floppy drive for booting) . So i need a very little tcp-ip stack for dos and a client for a NT server on dos so that they will be small enough to be on a 1.44 system floppy. Is that possible ? Paul

I do not know how many others are in this case, but I must use either floppies or tapes to transport the Samba product after I download it. Floppies are more convenient than tape because the tape medium is TK50 on OpenVMS and it is very slow. Is is possible to produce the production release in a two archive set so that it can be more easily sneaker-netted? Thank you, John Malmberg

Hi, I am using Samba 1.9.18. The server is running on Solaris 2.5.1 and the client is on Win NT 4.0 I am annoyed by the Control-M characters appearing in text files when the files are edited on Windows editors and viewed in vi on Sun machine. I had to manually remove the Control-M characters. Is there a way to eliminate the Control M characters ? Thanks Krishna

Ok, after several months of pulling my hair out I finally fixed WINS and browsing at out Univesity. It ended up being an acutal bug, er bad code segment. To explain we have a large number of clients ~1000+ at any one time over 6 subnets. Browsing was spuratic at best. nmbd sucked up %70 of the proccessing power of a sparc 5. Well after serious investigation I traced it down to two lines of

Hello all, I'm currently trying out samba-3.0alpha24 and moving to samba-3.0.0beta1 since we're getting into XP and encrypted passwords etc. I was hoping to set everyone (about 13,000 users) up on an LDAP (openLDAP) server with just the Unix crypt passwords for now and run with encrypt passwords = no update encrypted = yes for a while to populate the NT/LM password hashes before

Hello all, I used to have share modes = no on all my application shares as they were accessed for read-only. I particularly put this on my netlogon share after someone got an exclusive lock on part of the login script! I find with 2.2.2 that share modes is no longer allowed and I get smbstatus lock entries for loads of application stuff which people should be locking. What is the 2.2.2

Hi, I'm debating purchasing a NetAppliance fileserver that does native CIFS. Below is a URL to a NetAppliance authored paper regarding performance. One of the sections compares NFS to CIFS and talks about Samba. Can anyone dispute any of this? Is there any reason besides price that I should stick with Samba? -Ed Ed Sanborn (978) 691-6496 Northchurch

Hi all, I've recently set up a samba server, but just discovered that people on the "other" side can't reach it. The system shows up in Network Neighborhood, but you can't double click on it. It returns a message saying that the server is either inaccessible, or that I misspelled the name (How I did that with just one mouse click is beyond me ;) I had 'allow

Hi all, I've been running a Samba server here for over 6 months now will great success. This past weekend I moved the Samba server to a new subnet, and now I can't see any of the various aliases from Samba server. I was previously able to see the aliases in NN across my 2 different subnets by using the 'wins server = ' parameter. The wins server I was registering with is on yet

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.

I'm trying to figure out an intelligent way to install apps on the network server, and be able to install once and have all the clients use this. However, it seems like most installations modify the registry and seem to demand a client-by-client installation. Am I missing something on this? Can someone provide me some hints or references to help this? (And is anyone thinking about a SMS/ZEN

Hi all, I'm using Samba 1.9.18p8 under Solaris 2.5.1. Within my smb.conf file I am using the 'netbios aliases' option to make my server appear as 4 different servers with an smb.conf.%L to load the specifics of each: netbios aliases = hardware software diagnostics homedirs include = /usr/local/samba/var/smb.conf.%L The problem I'm encountering is that the only comment I see

Hi . I'm quite new to samba and therefore have a mabe a little dumb question.

But I'm using the same uid and password in my windows95 machine as I'm doing on my

I have set up everything so that NT4 SP3 users can use my FreeBSD machine as a printer/file share fine. But it seems to me that every user I want grant access to my machine and is it even for browsing only needs to have an account and must run smbpasswd once on my unix machine. How can I let arbitrary users/workgroups let browse my printers? -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies

Environment: HP-UX 10.20 Samba 1.9.18p10 ; compiled with -DAUTOMOUNT option. We are using our samba server to mount various automounted directories including user's home. auto.home map takes care of mounting user's home automagically but for other directories, I have to put a share name for each of them (and there are hundreds of them). Is it possible to define one share name (like

I need confirmation on the following : I have added the following line in /etc/inittab samba:234:once:/usr/local/bin/samba.startup I am using HP-UX 11.x is this correct ?. The purpose i am trying to acheive is every time the server reboots , it should start smbd and nmbd automatically. Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
