Greetings: I couldn't find this one in the archive: What we want to do here is make it so a non-owning user can map a drive, but not see anything below the top level. However, if they know the exact pathname to a file, they should be able to open it. In Unix, we do this with file permissions like: drwx--x--x foo drwx--x--x foo/bar -rwxr--r-- foo/bar/foobar So the owner can do

I just ran into a completely unexpected problem. It appears that the Kingston SOHO Hubs don't do TCP. They do NETBEUI very well. After 4 hours of troubleshooting I went home and got my cheap Bay Networks 8 port hub and everything worked. This is to hopefully prevent others from running into the same problem. Nothing on Kingstons site mentions no TCP support but swapping only the hub worked

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba server? -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

Hi ! I hope this is the correct place to ask questions ... I'm having the following problem : A "service" on an NT 4 server cannot connect to a samba share on my linux machine. The specific versions are given below. From the NT machine I have no problem as the administrator to login to samba server and view the target share. The supplier's service however cannot

I can force a browser election with the Win98 command: net view /workgroup:workgroupname However, that does not work on NT (and I haven't tried it on W95). What I'd really like is a command from the Linux command line to force the election. I've looked everywhere and can't find it. For my purposes having preferred master=yes and restarting Samba is not an option. Does anyone

I am running samba-2.0.3-8 on Redhat 6.2 in five global locations. All are fine except one. In this location when a user runs MS Visual Developer they are able to open, save compile and edit files just fine. However when they type either [Enter] or [Bkspc] to add or delete a line, in this case only MSVD hangs for several seconds. Insert several lines and wait 1+ minutes!!! I have watched the

Hello all, I've got a W95 box connected via crossover to a 2.2.12 RH 6.0 linux box, running 2.0.3 samba. Writes to samba from Win explorer are around 450 K/sec. Reads from samba to Windows using Explorer are around 8 K/sec. Using the smb version of tcpdump, I see between a .200 and .220 second lag between packets. smbd is nowhere near the top of my "top" list output in linux. Is

I need to be able to access my Samba network from a DOS floppy. Obviously it must be a tcp/ip client rather than netbeui. Any pointers on doing this? Not *too* cryptic as I'm not expert at this sort of thing. I'm pretty sure I saw some material on the Samba site, but now I cannot find it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lindsay Allen

I have a printer - an HP 1120c - connected to my wife's Win98 machine. Occasionally I would like to print to that printer instead of the HP Laserjet 4+ connected to my Linux machine. Could someone explain a couple of things for me? 1. I am running Mandrake 6.0. When I start printtool, it complains that it does not believe Samba is installed. Why and how do I fix? 2. I ignore the message and

Hi, We have some 100 Servers (includes both Intel and PPC based systems). Is there any way to easly install OS (different flavours of Linux) on these systems ? We do not have control over the DHCP Server settings so is there any way to do this with out touching the DHCP Server ? We have static IPs for all the systems. Regards, Naveen

The problem: attempting to connect to a samba network drive from a Windows 98 machine gives me the error message: "Not logged on". Background: We have been running samba to serve a number of w95 clients for a couple of years. Some of the clients are remote and we don't bother with running nmbd(8), so all clients have LMHOSTS files. The problem is related to a new W98 machine

Server: Slakware Linux 2.0.30, GNU C 2.7.2.1 Samba 18p7 Server is not using PAM and is a ypclient. Client PC's are DOS 6.20 with MS Client 3.0 and Windows 95. I am having trouble changing passwords using the "net password \\<server>" command from either DOS or Win95 command prompt. Changing passwords worked fine using Samba 17p3. The compile switch -DALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD

Hello, I finally switched to the samba-1.9.18p4, and got all my files on this server. But now I have a big problem, all our NT machines can't access the server. They tell wrong user or password. In the debugging mode I see, that the NT machines come to the server and find the right user, then they tell me: lp_file_list_changed() file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf ->

I am an newby to samba, and I have a user who is getting permission denied when he attempts to copy files from his PC to his UNIX account. Everything appears to be working correctly on the samba server. I believe he is the only one having a problem. I found this message in the log.smb file after his copy attempt: libsmb/namequery.c:resolve_name(644) resolve_name: unknown name switch type

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of piloting a Samba server for file/print in a Windoze NT network. I'm using Samba 2.0.5 on Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 I've been managing Windows networks for quite a while, but Linux/Samba is new to me. What I want to know is: Other than making my Samba server a domain controller, is there a relatively easy way to import my existing user accounts
