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

I'm trying to run 2 SMB servers on my intranet (which also has a Win98 client). Both are accessable if I explicitly link to them. (ie: "NET USE" commands work just fine), but neither apear on a browse list if both of them are running. If only 1 is running, it appears just fine. I've mucked around with the "domain master" & "local master" parameters,

Hello, I know I should get rid of the problem by my own, but unfortunally I failed. So I ask: I`ve a subnet of win9x and WinNT clients connecting to our Linux file server (no more servers in this subnet) via samba 2.02. All win95 can see and mount services of the Samba server. But win98 and WinNT can only see the server but can not connect to a service. I`ve no encryption and security= user in

Dear people at the samba organization, I wish to create multiple workgroups using SAMBA in a single domain on a LINUX Box. The linux box is also the primary domain controller. Please enlist me the procedure and mail to me as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance Sincerely Roopinder Randhawa.

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

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

Hmmm... I've sent a couple of questions to the list recently, with no responses. Are my messages getting out? Since upgrading to 2.0.2, our Win95 boxes are having problems accessing shares. WinNT works perfectly. Win95 worked fine with 1.whatever, but now it can only see files that are actually in the share directory. It can see subdirectories of the share, but they appear as empty

Hi, I'm trying to share a machine that's on the other side of a gateway. The machine being shared is a Linux (kernel 2.2.1 (RedHat 5.2) and samba 2.0.3), and the box trying to access it is NT4.0 with SP5. It looks something like this ------- --------- ------ |Linux|-----------|Gateway|----------| NT | ------- --------- ------ 192.168.32.72

I am using Samba for print serving on a home network that consists of one Win98 machine and one running Red Hat 6. I am getting along well but have come up against a problem I don't know how to solve. On the linux machine where samba is running, when I am in a text based terminal (doesn't show in KDE) I get various nmbd messages scrolling across my screen, messages that look like nmbd

I see that mksmbpasswd.sh (plus a little editing) would be a good way to set up users with "NO PASSWORD" in bulk. But suppose I don't want the risk of the "NO PASSWORD" approach. Now somebody with root access must run smbpasswd for each user they want to activate. But can't I just do this anyway (with the -a 'add user' option), without ever having run

Hi, I think this is a very simple situation but I need help in this matter asap. I have a linux m/c running samba-2.0.2. This is on a n/w controlled by a Win NT PDS. But I don't want Win NT to do the login authentication. So i've configured samba to act as a file server doing the login checking but i've not included it in the NT domain. Is this correct? And if so how do I configure my

Folks, I've missed the latest encrypted passwords thread, so forgive me if this is old hat for some of you. I'm running 2.0.3 with auth being handled by an NT PDC. It seems that some Win95 clients (namely those with later releases of the OS) have problems authenticating. I've got encrypt passwords = yes but it still seems only the old Win95 clients (clear text passwords) can auth

I am using a Samba server on a RedHat 5.2 box this box has no tape drive I would like to back up my network clients to a tape drive on one of the win boxes; Is the following feasible; mount the windows shares using smbmount tar up the dirs/files transfer the tar files onto the win machine Back up using the win machines backup programme If not any other suggestions? Please cc me in reply Regards,

Howdy all - I have Samba 2.0.3 running like a champ on a dual PPro 200, 128 MB RAM, running Slackware 3.6, kernel 2.2.5. Running like a champ as far as file sharing is concerned, that is. I have an HP Deskjet 1000c hanging off the parallel port. I set up a raw printer in /etc/printcap, the line looks like this: dj1000|DeskJet 1000c:sh:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj1000 the printing section

A summary of my problem, I had wrong UIDs for a user (eg pmal) between the /etc/passwd file and the smbpasswd file. When I was trying to loggin from a couple of machines running either win nt or win 98 I was reading in the log files that the loggin could not be completed because the UID were wrong but there were instances were I could loggin from another computer with the same username. I really

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 have searched the archives and the internet and found nothing on this topic but I know it's a known issue. Second I would like to say this has nothing to do with NTDOM. I am running a samba server 2.0.0 on a freebsd box. I am connecting to the server using windows 9x and NT clients. I have hacked the windows registries to enable clear text passwords across the lan. The problem is when

While I wait for an answer to my last question, allow me to ask another. When we upgraded a samba server from 2.x to 3.0.0-2mdk using LDAP, we managed to change the domain SID. Instead of fixing the SIDs on the sever, I re-added the hosts to the domain. Although it was a lot of work, it was successful on most of the systems on the network. However, we have one old NT4 box on the network

Hello all, Since 2 or 3 days I have some performance problems when copying files from/to my Samba server. Copying is very slow, about 10x more than normal, and the CPU usage is almost 100% during the file copy. Everything else works fine (NFS, FTP ...). This server has been running for several weeks now, and never had any problems. Any clues what could cause this ? Thanks Marco Schwarz.
