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

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

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

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

I found these articles that talk about the oplock_break problem (specifically they are related to problems with word97): http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/serviceware/nts40/e9msge2bc.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q163/5/25.asp Basically they say: either apply sp3 on the winnt client or disable oplock on nt server But they don't say anything about win9x,

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:

Fellow Samba-ists, I read about smbmount But I cannot find it in 2.04b Where and how do I use it ? Regards Terence

I downloaded nilo and oskit from www.nilo.org. Added pcnet32.c linux-2.0.39 driver to oskit. Compiled nilo with pcnet32 and produced boot floppy image. Use it inside vmware vm. My aim is to be able to test pxelinux using vmware+nilo and not a real machine. Floppy starts, detects nic, receives ip from dhcp server, requests boot image to tftpd-hpa, then crashes when talking to tftp. Is

[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

Hi, I've recently set up LPRng on my system in preparation for moving my organisation to a Samba/Linux based printing solution. I have a test printer properly set up, and issuing lpr commands from the command line works fine. I also have Samba set up with domain security and all the file sharing is also working OK. Whenever I try to print a test page to my Samba shared printer, I get the

I just set up my samba box as a pdc on small (4) network that I have at home. whenever I specify user shares on my 98 client it is unable to get the user list from the Samba. I am able to log on without problem as multiple users. I also notice that when I logon on my 98 client it copies config files every time I logon. I imagine that I may not have the necessary shares setup. I am running

Using Samba 2.2.5 on FreeBSD 4.5. We have a file share used by several people working on common projects. The share is set up with force group = cad create mask = 0774 force create mode = 0774 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 so that everyone can create/modify any file in the share. The new VFS recycle bin, however, sets the file

Hi James, One of the things that NT does different from WIN9x is that it attempts to 'browse' using a null session. This typically means that SAMBA is going to try to make the attachement for the 'null' username as SAMBA's guest account (by default 'nobody'). On a lot of HP systems the 'nobody' /etc/passwd entry is set as uid -2 and gid -2. These uid/gid

Greetings, I don't know how common an issue this is as I haven't found much in the list archives that was helpful to me, so I'm hoping for some pointers. FYI, we have samba 2.3.3a-6 running on the 2.4.18-10 kernel. There seems to be an issue with smbfs mounts at times where connectivity may be lost (e.g. Win share becomes unavailable) causing local processes such as lsof or ps,

Hello, I am testing Samba 3.0.0 on a Tru64Unix v 5.1b. I compile it with gcc et gnumake. I am able to start it and I can see a share. Until now, I have only one problem: Logs are full of messages like "Error loading module '/usr/local/samba/lib/charset/ISO8859-1.so': dlopen: Can't open needed library: /usr/local/samba/lib/charset/ISO8859-1.so" In fact, I don't find

Linux Red Hat 6.x Using name = <mypath>/%U in recycle.conf is ok, while using name = <mypath>/%u produces a dir <mypath>/%u/deleted.item I need to use %u since %U is before smbusers mapping. Do you get the same behavior? Thanks -- giulioo@pobox.com
