Hello everyone... I have been using Samba v1.9.16p11 for a little while now and I just noticed that when I create a Windows 95 Briefcase on a Samba drive it appears as a folder (directory). This also happens when I move a briefcase created on a local drive to the network. I admit a small degree of ignorance here because I do not have an NT box to test the setup with so I do not know if this is

I hope that someone can help me with this because I'm at a loss. I have a Samba server running RH 5.2 w/all errata plus Samba 2.03 that is used, among other things, to serve a share for a Windows program called "Business Works" which is a network accounting package. This program uses the standard Windows range-locking to implement it's network capability. I have been using this

Hello everyone, One of my clients is experiencing *very* slow printing and in certain circumstances interrupted printing from a Windows 95 OSR2 workstation to a Samba 1.9.18p10 server. The workstation is setup with server-stored profiles, desktop, etc. The user is trying to print large, graphics & color intensive Powerpoint presentation. It takes 10-20 minutes to spool about half the file

To any one who is using Red Hat Linux 6.0 (or, presumably, any glibc2.1 system) I recently installed a new RH 6.0 system on Intel. After installing my samba and my network application I noticed that I was experiencing oplock problems that were not present with the same version of Samba on my RH 5.2 systems and caused my application to not function. Since the problem seems to be with oplocks I

> Unless I am wrong, the "Recycle Bin" works only on LOCAL drives. Alas it does. But users don't know that and shouldn't be expected to understand the subtleties of operating systems, that's our job. In their world, when they use Windows or MacOS, a trashcan exists and should exist on servers as well. > Like Jonathan Kelly, I mirror network drives at night to a backup

Hello, does anyone has some Information about M$ Exchanges Fax. If you configure Exchange there is an Option about Fax. If you go there, you can say you have the Modem on your PC or you can say it is in the Network and you have to put in the Networkpath. It would be great to use this with Samba but at this time I think Samba doesnt support it. Maybe someone has some Information for me how I

I've just installed version 1.9.18p8 on SPARC Solaris 2.5. I can connect with no problem from by NT box (map network drive), but when I try using smbclient '\\\\machine\\share' from the machine I installed on, I get: SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.) Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password? Some servers insist

I was running through the cvs.log and I noticed that there was a bunch of stuff on LDAP authentication. I haven't seen anything on the official releases about this yet, and I was wondering when/if it was coming, or if it was already there and just undocumented. Anybody? -- ================================ Jay Christner Information Technology Services Goshen College

I want to thank whoever mentioned KerbNet by Cygnus Solutions! Wowza! I recommend that people check it out. It lets you implement Kerberos under UNIX and NT, and have them work together (so you have one *unified* security system that is used by both your NT and UNIX boxes). It's at http://www.cygnus.com/product/kerbnet-index.html It also does authentication *without* sending passwords over

We have a 8GB scsi disk on a samba server. If we look in the explorer on our NT clients, we see only 4GB disk space with 0 bytes used (seems to be a 32 Bit limit ?!). Is this a problem of samba or of the NT client ? Any solution available ? Thanks K.Konzept

Hello everybody, We are using Samba 2.02 on Sun Solaris 2.51 and 2.6 platforms. Using these as a file server we occasionally have the following problem: - the file is changed on the file server using standard UNIX tools while somebody else is editing it - the other user re-loads the file using a Windows 95 client - the content of the file seems to be the same as before the change on the windows

( I thought I sent this message out before, but never saw it in the digests ) Configuration : Windows NT 4.0 clients printing to Samba 1.9.18p8 running on Solaris 2.6/2.51 machines.

Looking for help ! We have a rather strange problem working with Samba installed on a DEC Alpha server, when reading an exported directory from Windows. We are using an application written in C that reads a file from drive E: where a directory exported from Alpha is mounted. Once the file is read, all the further readings ignore changes in the file (file is changed on Alpha). Even as we read it
