similar to: 2.0.6

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

[Note: This has been posted to linux-kernel and was ignored. Since smbfs is maintained by the samba team, I am retrying here] Hi! To maintain and install packages from CD-ROM to my Debian/GNU Linux system, I use Debian's apt package. Since my Linux box is stowed away in a closet, I use an smbfs mount to mount the CD-ROM drive from my Windows desktop machine to the Linux box. This used to

I've just added the ability for nmbd to call an external program when changes happen to the WINS database in a Samba WINS server. See the option "wins hook" in Samba 2.0.6 when it is released. An example script that calls the nsupdate dynamic DNS update program is provided. Hopefully this will be useful for sites that want their dynamic windows boxes to show up in DNS. Cheers,

We are running Samba 2.0.5a on an AIX 4.2.1 box, and since we upgraded from 1.9.18, a Windows 95 client reports intermittent problems (timeouts) when saving small files. The log.smb file has entries from those events: [1999/09/08 14:59:07, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(905) oplock_break resend [1999/09/08 14:59:17, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(905) oplock_break resend [1999/09/08 14:59:27,

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

I cannot get smbclient or smbmount to work from linux -> linux. I'm running 2.05a on Red Hat 6.x servers. I can use NT shares from linux. I can use samba shares from NT & 95. Is there some trick to getting this to work between linux machines?

As Andrew is a little busy right now I've made a Samba 2.0.6pre3 snapshot available at : Source code ----------- ftp.samba.org:/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.0.6pre3.tar.gz RedHat 6.1 Intel RPM -------------------- ftp.samba.org:/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.0.6pre3-19991102.i386.rpm RedHat 6.1 Source RPM --------------------- ftp.samba.org:/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.0.6pre3-19991102.src.rpm Please

Thank you Paul for your response. Perhaps I can give a bit more info: RS/6000 H50 w/AIX 4.3.2 running Samba 2.0.5a PIII-450 NT4sp4 w/128MB I indicated yesterday that a race condition appeared to be happening. I later remembered that I turned on level2 oplocks on two read only shares as the last tunings we did before this began to happen. I got the info from the Speed.txt document in hopes of

I have the default installation of samba (2.0.5) that came with Caldera OL 2.3, but it doesn't seem to be starting up properly, nor is SWAT working. When I run the script 'samba start', I get the message "Starting samba: smbd nmbd", but when I check the running processes, only nmbd shows up. Running smbstatus gives me the message "Couldn't open status file

The 2.04b rpm for rh60 ships with and installs a config file for logrotate (the samba.log file in the packaging/RedHat section). ===== /var/log/samba/log.nmb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd endrotate } /var/log/samba/log.smb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd endrotate } ===== 1) I think that the use of "endrotate" is wrong. There is no

what is the format of this file? what is the best way to access it w/o the smbstatus program? IE: with perl -sv

Hi all, I would like to be able to pause a printer shared via Samba from Windows 95/NT workstation. Can it be done? Thanks, Walter Dorciak.

I've just released a snapshot of 2.0.6 in the alpha directory on samba.org. This is intended for testing to make sure some of the recent changes work well on a wider range of sites. I have also built a RedHat Linux 6.X RPM and put it in the same dircetory. If you are not running a mission critical site then we would appreciate feedback on this snapshot. If you have reported a bug in Samba

Hi! I've been struggling with this install of Samba 2.0.4b on Linux/x86 2.0.36. All of the client machines run Windows NT 4, SP 3. I'm exporting /tmp as pub, and if I right click in the folder and create a new folder, it doesn't show up until I go to 'view' and 'refresh'. If I delete something, it doesn't go away until I refresh. Why? Output of testparm:

Hi, Probably this problem is known and has already been discussed in this group, but I did not find any hints in the archive nor in the package description. On a PII/400/256MB RAM I am running SuSE 5.3 with smbd 2.0.2. Unfortunately, sometimes the WinNT client seems to loose its connection which crashes a WinNT application (SolidWorks) if the latter wants to save a project. (This happened 8

Hi I have a problem accessing NT boxes which have a service (host) name which is purely numeric, smbclient insists on treating it as an ip number. For example:- /opt/samba/bin/smbclient \\\\06842\\BACKUP xxxxx -U xxxxx returns :- Connecting to 0.0.14.34 at port 139 Connection to 06842 failed I am using HPUX 10.2 and samba version 2.0.4b. Surely it should be possible to connect to NT

Hi... I wonder if someone can shed some light onto a password changing problem I'm having with 2.0.6. I have a script that is launched using the 'unix sync' procedure which all worked fine in 2.0.5a which using a script like this. #!/bin/sh echo "Enter old password:" read $OLDPASS ... ... I've only listed the first two lines as this is where it's getting stuck.

Hello all - I've got an unusual problem that keeps popping up since samba 2.0, all the way through 2.0.5a. I'm running LPRng on my Linux box with Samba. Both startup fine. Fileserving with samba is fine, but whenever I try to print from any of my clients (Win 9x, NT, doesn't matter) the print job just sits in the SAMBA spool directory. Looking through the LPD logs LPR never gets

We recently committed to replacing our Netware server with a Samba server running on an old SPARC box (using RedHat 6.0). This seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I'm wondering... We have two labs of PCs (each of 16 machines, all running Windows 95) and we use PC-Rdist to ensure that the hard disk images on the PCs are kept fairly clean and up-to-date. The master disk images are
