Before I reinvent the wheel, I wanted to find out if anyone has developed any scripts, and has made them available, that extract data from the Samba log files? More specifically, I want to use the information in the Samba log files to create a "database" that shows the date/time a user connected to a share and then logged off. The script would run daily and extract the most recent

Hello, I am having some trouble with NMB. My linux box doesn't appear in the network neighbourhood (win 98). In spite of this, I can still access the linux shared directory. I have tried almost everything and lately I have been seeing this message in the log.nmb file: [2000/03/03 17:11:11, 1] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(672) Netbios nameserver version 2.0.3 started.

I recently upgraded my Linux distro to SuSE 8.1 which came w/samba 2.2.5. A feature of the upgrade was that it 'split' the startup script for samba from 1 script for _smb_ & _nmb_ to 2 scripts. Now the prologue (used by insserv to create the numbered startup scripts with dynamic numbering based on dependencies in the prologues of all the startup scripts for a given run level) says

Hi Folks, I've been using linux for the past 4 years. I'm currently running RH 6.2 and samba 2.0.6. My goal has been to eliminate MS from my computer and I'm almost there. I'm trying to use samba to allow printing to my printer from other W95 & W98 computers. I've read the HOWTOs and generated the smb.conf file which is at the end of this message. I used the [test]

how do I create the separate log files of smb.log and nmb.log Just want a log of users who have accessed their accounts. Thanks in advance

I am having trouble starting my nmb. I have tried to start it a number of times. I tried via swat, using the shell, and it is set up to automatically start with smb. It fails to shut down and start each time. I'm very new at this, and don't have the trouble-shooting skills yet. Thanks, Anna

I'm configuring Samba on a Red Hat Linux 7.2 server, for access from a Windows 2000 client. My server name is DEMENTIA, and it's IP address is 192.168.0.5. I've confirmed with ifconfig that the server's broadcast address is 192.168.0.255. I'm having a problem with NMB that I seem to have isolated to the following symptoms - After starting NMBD, I can lookup the server name

Hi, I just compiled samba 3.4.0 on UBUNTU Server 8.04 using the following directives: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba340 --disable-debug --disable-developer --enable-swat --enable-shared --with-logfilebase=/usr/local/samba340/var/logs --with-ldap --with-ads --with-krb5=/usr--with-automount --with-cifsmount --with-quotas --with-libsmbclient --with-acl-support --with-winbind --with-pam

hi everyone, I observe a peculiar "behaviour" behaviour of nmb, peculiar to me at least, could be that "this is how it works", thus asking. If I add an IP on the iface that nmb is already operating then I see such a message: Samba name server GOER is now a local master browser for workgroup PRIV_NET on subnet 192.168.2.204 204 is that new IP, but then windows boxes do

The Windows98 explorer (and possibly other programs) incorrectly set the "sync" bit in write requests to network shares. This causes an enormous slowdown as Samba (quite correctly) does a fsync() on the file after each write.

I get the following log when trying to run nmbd -D Netbios nameserver version 2.2.3a started.

I am having a lot of problems with nmbd. Basically it refuses to open its socket to listen on. I have checked, and the reason cannot be that the port is in use, as I can set any port with the -p switch, and I get the same error. The relevant part of the nmb log is: Netbios name list:- my_netbios_names[0]="DIRAC" lp_file_list_changed() file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf ->

I recently installed samba 1.9.18p8. Since then, we get the following error: "No domain server was available to validate your password.

Just a few quick questions: If I make changes to smb.conf, do I need to restart the SMB and NMB services, or is it like Vixie Cron, where it'll re-read the file and adapt changes every minute? Why do I have multiple NMB instances running, but only one SMB? Thanks for the help! Aton

I have an XP home (falcon) and an XP pro (tatooine) machine, both behind a rh9 box (hoth) acting as firewall. I've been trying to get samba set up on the linux box. I think I have it mostly working except that the XP boxes won't list hoth under "My Network Places - Microsoft Windows Network - MSHOME", and I cannot access hoth by name at all from the XP-pro box (by IP, I can
