similar to: Samba-related info on disconnected NT networkshares

Hi! I'm new to this mailing list, so please help out if I'm adressing the wrong forum. :) I'm working on an application accessing a mounted networkshare. Under normal circumstances there is no problem accessing reading and writing to the networkshare using POSIX open(2)/read(2)/write(2) etc. However if there is intermittent connectivity problems to the networkshare my

I am getting red crosses on the mapped drives of some win2k pro machines connecting to a samba pdc. I don't have them logging into the domain and the drives are disconnecting (it happens on win2k server too). There is a parameter for win2k server to autodisconnect the drive after 15 minutes which can be changed with: net config server /autodisconnect:TIME and there is a registry key in

Hello, In my smb.conf (or actually, in "committees.conf" included from smb.conf, a defined share does not show up in the browselist, nor any other share defined AFTER that particular one (either in that file or in smb.conf after the include statement). The shares are accessable though (when mapped to a drive letter or used as UNC). Ofcourse I tried to look for odd

I have nmbd set up to act as a WINS server. As far as I can tell from the docs, WINS should reply for queries that it can then lookup in the supplied lmhosts file. Unfortunately, it does not appear to do this; it only knows its own name when queried (and the domain name entry) but none of the entries that are in the lmhosts file. the debug output of nmbd doesn't reveal much (and doesnt even

Is there anyone who has (successfully) implemented a method of on-access virusscanning of files on a samba share? For Linux, I only know of Sophos and McAfee virusscanners but neither of them can scan files as they are written or read. Is there possibly a hook of some sort in samba for this?

When I build an smb.conf using a line like: include = /usr/local/samba/lib/%G.conf then it works beautifully for the shares that are listed in the appropriate <primary group>.conf files, that is, I can connect to them and all... However, I can only _browse_ the shares listed in the main smb.conf file, not the ones in the <primary group>.conf files that should be included, even

Is there a way to prevent browselists from machines other than those of my choosing to show up in the browselists/network neighbourhood? I don't want win95 clients that offer shares themselves to show up in the network neighbourhood. Michel. -- Michel van der Laan - michel@nijenrode.nl http://www.nijenrode.nl/~michel

Hello, I stepped through the archives of this list, but could not find a thread dealing with exactly this problem we are experiencing here. Server HP-UX 10.20 Samba 2.0.6 security = domain deadtime = 500 ... that should be enough The win2k clients map a drive and everything is working fine. after a period of inactivity (about half an hour) win2k somehow disconnects the mapped drive and marks

Access Denied using samba 3.0.4 and Solaris 5.10 i386 I have some samba machines running freebsd without problems, two running Solaris and one Win NT 4 server on the same LAN. The Solaris was done over two PC machines one a no brand Pentium III (only for testing) and Other a HP Proliant, for production. The server that has the problem is an HP Proliant ML110 G2 Tower P3.2Ghz Hot Plug SATA

I am involved in the support of a digital audio editing and production system involving Windows 2k clients storing the audio assets on an AIX backend. The problem we have been experiencing is that we open audio files in the editor we are getting a minimum of 2 sec delay between pressing play and the start of the audio playback. Initial tests show that this delay can be up to 6 seconds and that

Hi Jeremy, No, I don't mean "deadtime". I mean auto disconnect. Specifically, the command "net config server /autodisconnect:-1" was run on each client machine. If deadtime is a server configuration item perhaps you could point me in the direction of some documentation where that is covered. The documentation for smb.conf is, to put it very mildly, incomplete.

Hi, I'm sorry, if this has been asked a 1000 times, but I've been going through the docs and using google for the past 2 hours and everything I have tried seems to fail. I've decided to give samba a go at file serving, as nfs is proving to be not that reliable., and I would also like to be able to access certain files on my windows machines. I'm currently running the following:

We've got samba 2.2.1a running on a number of servers. Windows 2000 Professional is running on the clients. Only one server is giving us problems: our home server. The connection to the home server will disappear, and Windows 2000 will refuse to reconnect (it inevitably returns an "Incorrect username/password" error). Rebooting the client, or waiting for 15 minutes or so, allows

Hi Jeremy, Using Samba without Windows seems rather pointless, as no other OS needs it, nor can test it to any truly useful extent. Thanks for point out the man page, which I've always taken as be referring to Samba 3, not Samba 4. I can only wonder why there's a site dedicated to Samba 4 documentation and this information isn't there. If the default deadtime = 0 and we

Hello! We've got some problems after an Upgrade from OpenLDAP and Samba3 to Samba4 AD (4.5.12 on Debian 9). After a successfull upgrade. we can't create no new properly working User-accounts with the RSAT-mmc (Windows 2k8, which is connected to the DC). The account can be created in RSAT and can even login on a Windows 7 Client - which is fine - but the account doe not got any access on

I have a couple of Linux directories that are being exported via Samba running under SuSE 10.0. On the Windows side, each of them is assigned a (mapped) drive letter. In the "My Computer" list they initially show up as "Disconnected Network Drive". If I attempt to access a file within one of them, the access fails with an indication that the drive does not exist.

Do you have the getent problem on your DC or your fileserver? If it's on a fileserver did you check that the RID is inside the range you set up in smb.conf?
