Hey, so i finally got it working thanks to your list (found the right place for EnablePlainTextPassword here, the existing 3-4 matches in the default registry don't seem to do a thing). It was all brilliant. I got connected to all my 4 samba servers. I was happy... 'til the next boot (you know, during installation of system, boots happen). Now it connects to 3 sambas (1 on FreeBSD, 1 on

Sorry about the previous message... Note that the maintainer listed in MAINTAINERS is no longer active, so perhaps it should be updated? I've found a problem with SMBFS and *really* long pathnames. It causes the kernel to OOPS, and sometimes corrupts the kernel stack. I've even had it corrupt the SLAB allocator so bad that no binary could be run :) REPORTING-BUGS format answers, let

I am experiencing a problem with all time stamps having the same date and time stamp. I found this bug report http://us1.samba.org/listproc/samba/June1998/0239.html and see there is a fix. The question I have is has this issue been resolved in later versions of Samba code. It would be easier to upgrade than deal with a code change and re compilation.

I have had a RH5.2 server running Samba up for a long time. I upgraded to Mandrake 6.0. It broke Samba, so I reinstalled using the RPM on the CD. Samba works just fine, but SWAT will not! If I try to start it manually (/usr/sbin/swat) it just hangs. In /etc/services I have a line like this: swat 901/tcp In /etc/inetd.conf I have: swat stream tcp nowait.400 root

Please answer if anybody has solved this problem: [1999/07/19 20:59:41, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(216) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 246 are available. Thanks in advance.

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

Hello, I just upgraded to samba 2.0.4b from 1.9.18 on OSF/1 V 4.0 Everything used to work fine in 1.9, and everything works fine now, except that one of our users can't connect to anything from Windows NT. I've also tried to use smbclient from her Unix account, and get the error: >smbclient \\\\clang\\public >Added interface ip=128.104.25.251 bcast=128.104.25.255

The 2.04b rpm for rh60 ships with and installs a config file for logrotate (the samba.log file in the packaging/RedHat section). ===== /var/log/samba/log.nmb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd endrotate } /var/log/samba/log.smb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd endrotate } ===== 1) I think that the use of "endrotate" is wrong. There is no

Hi, There may be a simple mistake of mine, but i just can't figure it out: I tryed to play around with options but with no success. If you could help me i'll be grateful, so that's is my environment: - there are 2 networks: 172.16.0.0/255.255.255.0 and 172.16.1.0/255.255.255.0 - i've setup up a Linux box with 2 cards : eth0 172.16.0.2 and eth1 172.16.1.2 - i have Win9x clients

Hi, I have a problem when I compile Samba 2.0.3, the next error message is generated doing "make": Using LIBS = Compiling locking/shmem.c locking/shmem.c: In function `smb_shm_open': locking/shmem.c:921: `PROT_READ' undeclared (first use this function) locking/shmem.c:921: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once locking/shmem.c:921: for each function it appears in.)

I just installed Samba for VMS (1.9.17p4) on a DecServer 1000A running VMS 7.1 The University Network is primarily NT Server 4.0 SP5. My experience is with Netware and NT, not with VMS, but I have the luck of supporting the system..... My main question is about Encrypted Passwords.....Does this release of Samba support them, or do I have to modify the clients who want access to our Alpha to

Hia, I have a problem using the %G parameter. At the end if my smb.conf file I have something like: include = \etc\smb.conf.%G At this way I hoped that according the the group, I can load a configuration file accoring the the users group. Instead that a 'smb.conf.it' group is loaded, a samba tries to load 'smb.conf.nogroup' (guest account is uid=nobody gid=nogroup) WHat I

I'd like to take a moment to thank the samba team for a painless upgrade from 2.0.2/3 to 2.0.4. configure, make, stop, install, start. It was a joy. Woo woo! I've updated for 2.0.4 the patches for my auditing system, the close command parameter and smbwebstatus. Everything should be accessible at http://www.reac.com/samba/ auditing: http://www.reac.com/samba/samba-audit.html This

Has any tried to connect to a samba server while using Win98 beta 2 as a client? I keep getting incorrect username/password errors in the samba log file and am unable to either map a drive or connect to a shared resource. With debug level set to 4 on the samba serve the main error seems to be error in packet at line 129 for cmd=117 (or something like that). If anyone else finds a fix for this,

I apologize in advance if I'm wasting bandwidth with a simple question, but I was unable to find a solution for this problem in the documentation... I've got a set of shares set up on a SUN Enterprise 5500 using Samba 2.0.4. In Windows NT, I map a drive to the share. When I copy a text file from Windows NT to the SUN, editing the file in UNIX shows that ^M has been added to the end of
