I got mcp mag a day or two ago, Great writeup!! I was a little surprised that they ran such a glowing review of samba, with some of the negative implications on NT. It is very nice to see Microsoft show an interest in interoperability. -Steve Roylance > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremy Allison [SMTP:jallison@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 15, 1999 6:41 PM >

Hi all. I know this has probably been asked before, but I need a quick answer, and didn't find anything on the net. Has anyone done any benchmark comparisons of server speed from Win95 clients, accessing files on a Samba 1.9.17p1 server share, as compared to an NT Server, running on the same server hardware? If so, how did Samba 1.9.17 measure up to the NT server? I need an answer to this,

Hi all, Inforworld (that's a rather large computer magazine is the USA) are thinking of doing an article on people using Samba to replace/supplement NT servers in commercial organizations within the USA. I told their editor I'd send out this request for people who fit the following criteria to send in their details : They need people who are : (a). USA Based. (b). Using Samba but

Hi, Anyone know where I can get a .tar.gz of 2.0.2? I'd like this version, since the PDC code is reportedly more stable than 2.0.3. Or has this been fixed in 2.0.3?

The Windows98 explorer (and possibly other programs) incorrectly set the "sync" bit in write requests to network shares. This causes an enormous slowdown as Samba (quite correctly) does a fsync() on the file after each write.

Hi all, FYI: I got the auto location of domain controllers with security = domain coded up, working and tested and will be putting it into the 2.0.6 release. To use it just change the password server= line to be : password server = * Someone (I can't remember who) was requiring this functionality.... Cheers, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team. --

Hello, does somebody have a tool to convert a /etc/passwd to a smbpasswd with getting a valid Lan Manager and NT hash. or does anybody have a trick, how I can synchronise the /etc/passwd with the smbpasswd without changing a unix passwd twice (passwd,smbpasswd).

Howdy all: For those who are curious (eg, Peter de Groot <pdgtech@wantree.com.au>) here are the (I think) relevant posts from recent samba digests concerning win98 and or NT performance problems copying files between local drives and samba shares. It looks like there should be some new options to play with in the next samba release. Could Jeremy or Andrew confirm? (BTW, nice

I have made a tarball snapshot of Samba pre-2.0.7 available at : ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.0.7pre1.tar.gz The WHATSNEW.txt file is not yet updated with the list of bugfixes, although the man pages should be up to date with the new options. I'm making this pre1 snapshot available so people can test that this release builds correctly on their systems and can get some

I apologise for not knowing the answer to this, especially as I saw it was discussed on the mailing lists but can't find the original article (even searching the archives). Our support teams would like a single smb.conf that can be used as a default world-wide. (allowing for a minimal modification of the "workgroup=" field) This means that you're stuck for what to put in your

Hi, I'm debating purchasing a NetAppliance fileserver that does native CIFS. Below is a URL to a NetAppliance authored paper regarding performance. One of the sections compares NFS to CIFS and talks about Samba. Can anyone dispute any of this? Is there any reason besides price that I should stick with Samba? -Ed Ed Sanborn (978) 691-6496 Northchurch

Hi All, Sorry to be posting this :-(, but if you're using the 'username map' parameter with Samba 1.9.18p8, here's a small patch you may need. Without it the username map will work once per smbd and then refuse to map subsequent names. This isn't a big problem as normally, on a single user NT or 95 system, username map will only be called once per session (in the
