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

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

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a .tar.gz of 2.0.2? I'd like this version, since the PDC code is reportedly more stable than 2.0.3. Or has this been fixed in 2.0.3?

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

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.

Hi all, Is there no INSTALL file that ships with samba? I thought there was one there at one time. Is the install procedure as simple as: ./configure [possible various options] make make install Or is there more to it than that?

Hi all, I'm currently battling with my Corp. IS group over NT domain administration. I admin a mostly Unix environment with a lot of WinXX clients. The authentication server is owned by "Corporate" (you know, that nameless, faceless entity that always makes do stupid things because "That's the policy" :) and I have no control over it. What I'd like to do is

Hi all, I have an interesting situation where I have 2 groups of users, a Unix group, and a Windows group. I want to be able to allow them all access to the same resources, but not comlicate my life too much more than it already is :) Here's the situation. I have a Samba server currently running in order to allow the Unix folks access to their home directories from their PCs. This group

Hi all, Has anyone used amanda in combination with samba to back up an NT4 server system? I'm able to connect to the server with both smbclient and smbtar on the command line, but I can't get amanda to connect. Supposedly amanda uses smbclient and smbtar to perform the backups. I'm continually getting the following error from amcheck: ERROR: amanda: [PC SHARE //servername/share

Hi all, I recently used smbtar (Samba Version 2.0.4) to create a tar file "backup" of an NT filesystem. However, when using GNU tar to extract the tar file, I get a little ways into the 'tar xvpf ../file.tar' command and get a whole bunch of errors: tar: Read error on ../file.tar: Invalid argument tar: Read error on ../file.tar: Invalid argument tar: Read error on

Hi all, Is there a way to use the "encrypt passwords" and the "passwd chat" programs simultaneously? smb.conf(5) doesn't mention anything about them being mutually exclusive, yet when I run testparm on the smb.conf file, I get: ERROR: the 'passwd chat' script [...] expects to use the old plaintext password via the %o substitution. With encrypted passwords

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'

We have several WIN95/WIN98 machines, but some which have to run under DOS/win3.11. Is there a possibility to enable the password encryption on these DOS / WIN3.11 clients? Are there updates or anything like that? Thanks, Hans-Joachim Muenzer
