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 --

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

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.

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"

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'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

I have samba installed on a web server (behind a firewall). It's working fine with all the WINS networking here (eg, password authentication from the NT servers, etc). I (we) want this web server - a linux redhat 5.x box currently running samba-1.9.18p8 - to have as few actual unix login accounts as possible. What I want/need to do is to allow LOTS of people in the faculty here

Hi, Have you ever heard of "success stories" with Star Wars Racer? My recent version of WineX just shows a blank 1024x768 screen and does nothing more. Pierric.

I see no indication of how to do this in sip.conf, and when I start Asterisk, it doesn't wait on port 80. Greetings, -- Juan Carlos Castro y Castro Instant Solutions - Telefonia Gerando Resultado http://www.instant.com.br Principais capitais: 4063-6100 Demais regi?es: (11)4063-6100

Hi there, I'm trying to repurpose an unused machine (athlon XP 3000+) for my young daughter to use. It's on a motherboard with a VIA KT880 chipset and VIA integrated soundcard (VIA 8237). The card seems to be detected during boot time and shows up in the system log, but when I try to actually use the sound card within Gnome, there's no sound. The device is detected, but

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!

Hi people, I've seen enough threads about performance to come to the conclusion that the following things should be in the distributed smb.conf: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 read prediction = yes debug level = 0 ;yeah, explicit - the default seems not to be 0 Everybody that uses these reports enormous performance boosts (including ME!).
