Hi all I have samba 1.9.18 and 2.0.2 shares which are also shared to the macintosh world with Helios ethershare running under Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6. I can create files and directories with the German special characters "umlaute" and "sz" with either client. My problem is that the macintoshes can't access directories created from the PCs whose name contains special

Hi all. I?m using the binary distribution of SAMBA 1.9.16 on SCO3.2v4.2. Last weekend we got a new server. Installed all applications and all worked fine (as expected) ... but: the win/nt clients could map the shares, but they could not browse the SAMBA-box! I checked the "browseable=" options, but everything looked ok. Increasing the debug level and stepping through the logfiles

Hello all, I have a RedHat 5.1 system running SAMBA and the machines and users log on properly but no one can select, create, delete or do anything with subdirectories. I checked the logs and it seems that the share names are not being 'made' properly. Is there a setting or problem with 5.1 install that I need to change??? Thanks Paul Farber Farber Technology

i'm looking for an answer to the problem WIN98/samba-connection. It shows the same failure as shown by WinNT unless the change of Registry to EnablePlainPasswd. Is there an answer where the entry "EnablePlainPasswd" should be by WIN98? Enable encryoptedPasswd in smb.conf brought no solution. Thanks an many greetings Lothar M?hlbauer Lothar.Muehlbauer@iiv.de

I have searched the web for scripts to analyze Samba logs and found nada. Has anyone written a tool that will produce something on the order of what Webalyzer or Analog produce? I would love to see what applications we use eat up the most resources without actually having to use my brain. I know I could whip one up myself, but that requires me to use my brain, etc... I'm not much of a

Morning... First off, is there a non-digest version of this list available? Second, and more important, from reading the docs, the following 'share' should not prompt me for a password...no? # This one is useful for people to share files [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes If this is correct, then there is a problem here, since I

Hi, I've checked all the docs I can find and this top icisn't mentioned, so I'm guessing there is no such thing, but I have users who swear that VisionFS used to automatically convert unix text files to windows text files (change the EOL to have both a carriage return and a newline, instead of just a newline). I think the user is mistaken, but just wanted to check. Is there a way

Hi! I'm new on the list, so please, be patient with me! I have a problem for wich I can't find the answer in the FAQ. Until recently I was running a 16 PC-s network with SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 and Samba 1.9.16p11 on the server and mixed clients (Win 3.11 to Win 95 OSR2). The users on the network have access to a PUBLIC directory on they own user directories on the server without

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

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, i'm using the respond-program to send faxes from the win-clients. Now i'm looking for the web-page, were this program is shown, because i've some trouble to reinstall this after an bigger crash. Perhaps someone can give me the URL of this or alternative programs to do an recipicient query on the win-clients befor sending the fax. Thanks 4 help, Yours, Oliver Grube

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

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

Just wondering if there is a way to get drive namings to change according to who's logged into the network. ie. 'bob' logs into windows networking and gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. Now if 'sue' logs into windows networking on the same pc she gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. But E: contains sue's stuff. So is there a way into making 'sue'

I tried to compile Samba 2.0 beta with cc under SCO 3.2. I seem to be missing the inet.h and netdb.h include files. Does anyone know if they are publicly available?

I saw a little discussion about this a few weeks ago but nothing concrete. We're running samba-1.9.18p8 under Solaris 2.6x86. I am periodically getting the following in the logfiles, usually _many_ at a time: 1998/11/03 14:42:00 request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 5411 on port 40884 for dev = 1980040, inode = 33c4d When I look up the PID (in this case

I just went through upgrading from 2.0.7 on Redhat 7.0 using the binary RPM provided by samba.org and noticed a problem with the swat install. It seems that the swat binary in the RPM is built to look for it's supporting files in /usr/share/samba/swat whereas the RPM installs said files in /usr/share/swat. This results in the following error message when you try to access swat: 400 Server

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 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
