similar to: querying an NT domain for a list of logged-in users

Hi all. I'm experiencing long connect delays due to password file locking errors. For each connection samba logs the following errors: do_pw_lock: failed to lock SMB passwd file. mod_smbpwd_entry: unable to lock file /usr/local/samba-1.9.18p10/private/smbpasswd In the archives I found some other messages reporting the problem (on May this year), but no solution. Did I

Hi. I have a samba install, samba-1.9.18p4, with security=server. Users are validated against the NT domain controller correctly, and user accounts do exist on the unix box (AIX 4.2.1) Problem is that while the uid of the files that users create is correct, the group id is always sys, even though the users have as primary gid STAFF. The definition of the share I am trying to create is: [cslan]

OK. Maybe I was a little terse in the description. I have a CD we (Candle) created. It installs one of our products by executing the setup.exe program. I am able to execute the program off the CD with no problems. I then copied the contents of the CD to the Samba share. I try and execute the setup.exe file and get this error. If I then copy the files from the Samba share to /temp, I can

Hi! I am trying to print from an NT machine to a simple samba printer. That NT machine is the PDC and the samba box is having logins authenticated by the NT box. When I try to access the printer with my own username, it works fine. As soon as I have the account that is destined to do the printing print, it can't log in. I have included my smb.conf file and two log excerpts - one successful,

We recently tried the upgrade to 2.0 Beta series (just finished testing Beta 4) on our network. Everything works fine with 1.9.18pl10, but once we start 2.0 in its place we start getting the following in the log files: [1998/12/17 05:00:12, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(219) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 246 are available.

What document should I read ?

Is there any way to have an account that let's multiple users from Windows 95 clients log in? i.e., let's say there are shared folders called foo and bar. bar is public. foo is accessible to user "foobar" with password "foobar." Win95 keeps sending over it's username as the person who logged in to that computer, or as the computer's machine name... and samba

Hi, I run samba very happily, but now I recognized problems with restoring files from a tape. If I use certain german characters, like ??? (hope you can read them), it builds file this "Verkn\201pfung". I can use this files from the sambaclient, but I can't access or delete this files out of Linux. I used client codepage = 850 Now I found out, that if I use the options

Is there any way I can set different umasks for different users in the "homes" share? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, ---- Jeff Newton Unix Systems Administrator PMC-Sierra Inc.

Has anybody got some experience with connecting machines running Windows3.1 or WfWG (3.11) to Samba? We would like to run a small lab network with user accounts and a shared printer off the samba box. Samba is running fine and there's no problem to connect to it from the Win95/WinNT machines... Any help appreciated. Frank Wornle, Glasgow Caledonian University Dept. of Engineering

Hi! This is my share: |[root] | comment = Root-Partition | path = / | guest ok = no I have a file called /etc/exim/config that is required to be owned by mail.mail, mode 664.

I've compiled samba 2.0.0beta4 on Sun (sparc) Solaris 2.6. I can use smbclient to list the shares, but whenever i try to connect to the machine, i get the following error message: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)

Hi all ! I'm new on this mailing list... We have just installed samba v1.9.18p4. But we have problems with mangling of file names.

I have a closed network (no outside access) with a small user base (less than 20), with no other network connections) running Samba 1.9.18p10 on Solaris 2.4. Problem: Some users utilize the workstations on the network as stand alone systems. They need access to printers, but I don't want to create an account just for this purpose. I would like to provide access to the printers without
