similar to: Samba 1 vs. 2, locking and Windows Terminal Server Edition

Is there any support for file locking in a case where multiple Samba servers are set up with shares for the same NFS mounted filesystem? I don't know how the STATUS..LCK file is used, but for instance, could that file be shared between the multiple Samba servers via and NFS mount?

I recently upgraded to Samba 2.0, but I have had to revert back to 1.9.18p10 because of problems I could not resolve. I am running Samba on a Sun Ultra-1 with Solaris 2.6, and I compiled Samba using gcc v2.8.1. The problems I was seeing were with saving Excel files. A user might have a small Excel file and try to save it to their home directory. The save would work for a long time (5 to 10

I just attempted to upgrade from Samba 1.9.18p10 to Samba 2.0.4b, and I have had to revert to 1.9.18p10 in less than a day. I attempted to upgrade to 2.0.1 back in January, and had to back off as well. I was hoping the problems I saw then would be resolved in 2.0.4b. I sent a message to this list back in January or February as well, but saw no responses. My environment is about 210 Win95 PCs

I am trying to use the "shared mem size" parameter in Samba 2.0.4b, but the size reported by smbstatus does not match the value I am using. Without the parameter, the default is 1MB, and the size reported by smbstatus is indeed 1048576. However, when I set the value of "shared mem size" to 5242880 (5MB), smbstatus says 879608. Is smbstatus not reporting the actual size, or

Printing from NT4.0 clients to Samba 2.2.3a using the NT4.0 drivers from HP works fine for me, my only problem has been with W2K clients using the W2K drivers from HP. The drivers from www.hp.com appear to be level 3 drivers, that is where they install, and they are downloaded by W2K drivers if they are available when the NT4.0 drivers are also available. Now, whether these drivers from HP are

I have Samba 2.2.3a installed and running successfully on Solaris 8 in a test environment. I manually enter printer shares into the smb.conf file, and then I can upload printer drivers to the Samba server from a Windows session without problems. When I try to print to a print queue on this server from a Windows 2000 SP2 machine, the application I am printing from hangs, the CPU usage of the smbd

I am seeing an odd behavior with NT4.0 SP3 workstations trying to rename files on Samba 1.9.18p2 shares on SunOS 4.1.3 servers. Rename, whether it is run from Explorer, winfile.exe, or command prompt fails with "Access Denied I don't see the problem from Win95 PCs at all, and I don't have the problem with shares from Samba 1.9.18p2 shares on Solaris 2.5.1 servers using identical

There is a new regedit file in Samba 2.0.6 for Windows Terminal Server Edition that sets a MultipleUsersOnConnection value to 1. I can't find any documentation about this regedit in the source package or using a search of the Samba website. In Micro$oft's knowledgebase articles Q190162, Q233082, Q231798 and Q191370, it would appear that the value should be set to 0 rather than 1 for the

I've just upgraded to Samba 3.0.2a from 2.2.8a, and I've run into a problem. We have an automated build process for our Windows PCs where first a Windows XP Pro image is copied onto the machine, then after a reboot the local administrator is autologged on and a drive is mapped from the Samba server using Active Directory domain credentials. At this point the new machine hasn't

This problem appears to be a bug. I am seeing the problem running Samba 3.0.2a on both Solaris 8 and RH Linux ES3. This problem was not present in Samba 2.2.8a. The Samba servers are member servers of an Active Directory domain, and all other file and print sharing is working well. Global section of smb.conf included below. On a Windows XP client that hasn't been added to Active

With Samba 3.0.23c I am unable to join the server to AD. The command and messages return: # ./net ads join createcomputer=OUlevel1/OUlevel2/Servers -Uadminacct adminacct's password: Using short domain name -- DOMAIN Failed to set servicePrincipalNames. Please ensure that the DNS domain of this server matches the AD domain, Or rejoin with using Domain Admin credentials. Disabled account for

I wrote about this problem more than a week ago, but got no response. I upgraded to 3.0.3 hoping this issue would go away, but it hasn't. I am seeing the problem running Samba 3.0.2a or 3.0.3 on both Solaris 8 and RH Linux ES3. This problem was not present in Samba 2.2.8a.

Hi, I have referred to the archive and some of you were having the oplock_break problem. Does anyone have any solution for this? Will reboot fix the problem? Please advise. regards, Bridget

We're had some recurring problems with nmbd's on Solaris 2.7 and Irix 6.5 failing to renew their WINS registrations in a timely manner causing the records to become tombstoned. While we've solved it by issuing "pkill" and "killall", respectively, of nmbd nightly from root's crontab, I wanted to alert the authors and other administrators to the problem so similar

Hi, Do I actually need a 'path' entry for each printer share defined in my smb.conf? Or is 'path' redundant in this case as the only relevance it has would be for the printing spool directory, which is defined by my /etc/printcap for all my printers anyway?? The man page for smb.conf seems to suggest that I do need a path entry, so should this be the same as the spool directory

For a couple of years people have been reporting intermittent problems with rsync over ssh freezing during a large transfer (typically several GB). I have now gotten to the bottom of these problems, and have written a small test program which demonstrates a deadlock in sshd when doing large bi-directional transfers. Luckily the problem is easily solved by modifying sshd to use socketpair() instead

Hi, One of the main things I use Wine for is to run a Computer Based Training Player (cbtplayer, info found at www.smartforce.com). It used to work perfect on 20001222 and back several version from that. Since the 20010112 release, it has failed. I reload the 20001222 and am back in business. I posted the zipped debug output for download if anybody that can read this (most of it looks Chinese

I went to RedHats' page and found hardware requirements and it said that the Dell Poweredge 6300 is a supported hardware. Then I went to linuxcare.com and it does not list the machine. Before I look like a buffoon, or continue to, Redhat will run on this machine, right? I appreciate the help.

I find apps running in wine are unbearably slow. In particular - HTML-Kit by Chami. I really like this editor on NT at work, I want to use it at home on my FreeBSD box. It works in wine, just very very slowly. I do not have a windows partition. I'm running wine by itself. Any suggestions on ways to get speedier results? -- Chip
