Hi! I am using RHL 5.2 and Samba 2.0.2. I have the SAMBA acting as the PDC in the network where most of the clients are Win95. Earlier we had a Novell Netware Network and I decided to shift over to Linux/Samba. I am having trouble implementing certain shares. The exact problem is described below: I want ONLY 'nhs' and 'vhs' to have read only access to '/usr/iso9001/edp'

Hello, recently I migrated 3 Netware 4.11 server to one Linux/Samba-box running on Suse Enterprise Server 7. Everything seemed fine, until performance problems were detected, especially when starting programs located on shares. Samba is a domain member using an NT4 PDC for authentication. The current samba version is 2.2.6 and the kernel is 2.4.19, but with 2.2.4 and 2.4.18 there was no

Hello, I recently plan to switch my 200 PC (W95 or DOS)+ 10 SUN workstations network to use Linux + Samba. It was previsouly using Netware 4.1 (not too bad) and Netware NFS (a nightmare !) My current configuration is made of 4 identical machines - bi-PII 300MHz + 128 Mo - 2*9 Go UW SCSI with soft raid level 1 - Linux 2.0.33 - Samba 1.9.18p7 Currently, this configuration is

Hi Jim, Does the Novell NetWare 3.2 server that you are trying to replace with Samba have any NLM's loaded to implement B-Tree lookups? If so, B-Tree processing is done on the Novell server without generating a lot of network I/O. In order to get the same kind of client - server performance, you would have to run some Paradox compatible server software on the Samba box. Thanks, Gary

I ran into this problem with an old DOS program on a Netware server. When I moved the program to a smaller volume the problem went away. I concluded that the old program had a problem recognizing disk space on large volumes. Try setting the max disk size option in smb.conf and see if that helps.

I am running Samba 2.2.8a. My XP and 2000 boxes take a long time to log off. They appear to be saving profiles. The Windows 98 and XP/2000 workgroup boxes log off quick as a bunny. It the slow log off because XP/2000 domain members must push all their settings to the Samba server or is there a problem with my Samba installations? I have three discrete Samba networks that all exhibit the same

Hi, I'm using samba in RedHat Linux 5.0. It works almost ok... First of all, I think everything is MUCH to slow. I am running it on a Pentium Pro 200MHz with 64Mb RAM. And there is only 5 clients using it. I'm using version 1.8.19p3 on an RedHat 5.0 Server. Is there something special I need to do about the filelocking?? Or have I just done something wrong during setup...? Before this

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

We have a co-operative project where we have 2 separate organisations using 2 different server environments. One uses Active Directory and windows file servers, the other eDirectory and Netware servers. We want to do a file server that handle users from both domains. It is easy enough to use kerberos authentication for the Active Directory users and LDAP to an eDirectory server for the Netware

Hello, I have a RELENG_6/AMD64 with an AMD64X2 cpu, 1GB of memory, 512MB swap. I remarked that when I run 2 simulation program [1], sometimes, one of them run one or several of its threads [2] very slowly, but sometimes, it doesn't occur. I remarked that is doesn't depend on SMP/UP, ULE/4BSD, i386/AMD64. It seems to occur also with the kernel stress test under the same conditions (all

I'm looking at migrating a small Netware 3.12 server to a Linux box with samba for a small office. They use a DOS program called `ACCPAC' to do their accounting; both the program and it's data reside on different exported volumes on the netware system. I set up a linux box (for testing- deployment later, maybe) to make sure the program would run with samba before going ahead and just

I've got a user that wants an Access database shared out. I've got a decent machine serving out the directory (300 MHz Pentium II) running RedHat 5.0 (kernel 2.0.34) with Samba 1.9.17p4 (RPM is samba-1.9.17p4-3). I've created a simple share entry in the smb.conf file: [global] debug level = 1 browsable = yes comment = Samba under Linux (RedHat 5.0) domain master = yes

hi, since a few hours i get an error "protocol negotiation failed" "SMB connection failed" while mounting with smbclient //ip-adress/share mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pwd //ip-adress/share /mnt/smb the same commands are working since ~1 year via scripts/console ping, nmap, telnet <open_ports>, ... without problems 137/udp open

I have tried this with a bunch of different versions of Samba, starting somewhere in the 3.0.1 series. I am currently running 3.0.34 on several Gentoo servers, all showing the same problem. I am almost positive it is not a Samba issue, but I was just hoping that someone may have experienced it and knows if there is a solution. When I have the current Novell Netware client installed on XP

TEST: ===== SAMBA STRESS OVER GIGABIT NETWORK: This is a simple Read/Write/Compare/Delete kind of test over the network via Samba. Multiple clients with multiple threads try to read/write/compare/delete(in a loop) a finite sized file (64K block size) over samba for a prolonged period of time in an effort to stress test the server.

Hi, I got 2 problems :- 1. I was compiling samba-2.2.7-4.src.rpm on Redhat 8.0 system and with the option --with-pam_smbpass. It always fail when I am doing a rpmbuild -ba samba.specs. The error is similar to the person who posted on http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba-technical/2002-September/039415.html but no one answered him. I was also compiling with the following extra options:-

Hello all, I'm using the attached patch. With it, if you add OPTIONS="-6" in /etc/sysconfig/sshd (this kind of sysconfig/<name> is a pretty normal RHL practice), then you can enable ipv4 and ipv6 on RHL without problems and without having to modify the init.d/sshd script. This or something like should IMO be added. Removing 'noreplace' from sshd_config

Regarding tests you can perform on the windows side: A couple of months ago, a samba user wrote in this group explaining that the easiest way to reproduce op-lock break timeouts was to select 10 or 20 so MS Word files and open them all once. (I've tried multiuser test programs which lock regions, write CRC'ed data and checks it etc, but I can't find anything that beats MS Office

I have an application with is binary-only, does its job well, and is only available for either libc5 (!) or early early glibc2.0 (!!). It has been running on a Red Hat Linux 5.2 (NOT RHEL; RHL) server for a really long time, and it honestly does its job and it's not easily replaced by an open-source solution at the moment. So, I need to do one of the following things: 1.) Run Red Hat
