similar to: Shared directory name length

I have read the documentation, performed the diagnostic tests, checked the archives, so if the answer is there, please accept my apologies in advance and simply direct me. I am running redhat Linux 2.0.3 and using smbmount to mount several directories from NT3.51 servers which are distributed gloablly in different timezones. Once mounted the files all have local timestamps which makes syncing

To any one who is using Red Hat Linux 6.0 (or, presumably, any glibc2.1 system) I recently installed a new RH 6.0 system on Intel. After installing my samba and my network application I noticed that I was experiencing oplock problems that were not present with the same version of Samba on my RH 5.2 systems and caused my application to not function. Since the problem seems to be with oplocks I

Hi, I installed Samba 2.0.3 on Linux 2.2.5. Every time I reboot system I found the smb has not been started. But in the directory /etc/rc.d, the file "smb" exists. When I run "smb restart",after a while, the samba server is ok. I wonder why the samba server is not up when system reboot. Thanks a lot. Followed is the content of the file "smb": #! /bin/sh ..

Hello all, I've got a W95 box connected via crossover to a 2.2.12 RH 6.0 linux box, running 2.0.3 samba. Writes to samba from Win explorer are around 450 K/sec. Reads from samba to Windows using Explorer are around 8 K/sec. Using the smb version of tcpdump, I see between a .200 and .220 second lag between packets. smbd is nowhere near the top of my "top" list output in linux. Is

I've just discovered a limitation in share name lengths. It may be in the docs, but I didn't see it and it's not mentioned in the Frisch book on NT admin. I tried in my smb.conf to create a share called "public_ftp_files". The share was created OK, but when I looked for it with the NT4 (sp4) Network Neighborhood, the name had been truncated to "public_ftp_fi" (13

I am new at setting up Samba3. I had heard that the name share name is supposed to be limited to 8 characters or less; i.e., [home] or [configs], etc. Is this correct, or can the name be longer? Also, are there any specific characters that are not allowed? I am not planning on using any, but I was just wondering. Ciao! -- Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net A foolish consistency is the

I just upgraded an HP-UX 11.23 IA 64 server to Samba 3.5.6, and one of the shares would not work. It showed up in testparm as valid, but nobody could connect to it. I shortened the length of the share name from 12 to 8 characters, and it now works. My pc is running Vista, and authentication is via our domain controllers. Is this a limit within Samba, or is it something being imposed by Windows?

I have one user on my network who cannot access samba shares on one of our servers. We have two machines running RH 6.0 (Kernel 2.2.5-15) and Samba 2.0.3. The user in question can access shares on one machine but not the other. The user has the same unix and samba password on both machines. Both machines are set up to use encrypted passwords. The user logs in from a win98 machine. Other users,

Hello, I'm trying to track a possible bug. I'm running samba 2.0.3 on Solaris 2.5.1 (with current patches), and I am having a problem that came up overnight. We use a single global name mangle {mangled map = Makefile makefile.unx} that has been working just fine for years, and now it fails. We build software on the unix side and on the PC side and use different make files for the

Hi, I have a linux (redhat 6.0) print server and I am running samba 2.0.3-8 serving win95 machines. I would like the print server to send a message to the win95 when a print job is completed. To do that, I run winpopup on win95. However, if win95 users close winpopup, they do not receive any message. Is there any more realiable method to communicate with win95 machines? I would appreciate any

Hi, I'm trying to take a vector (length almost 2,000,000) and merge it with a data frame of the same length. I'm trying to do it solely based on index, and not any other factors. The vector is called "offense", and the data frame is just called "data". I went with the simplest option: merge(data,offense) but it always gives me the same error: Error in

Hi at all . I have a big problem . I'he upgrade my Server from ( Linux 2.0.36 and Samba 1.19 ) to Linux 2.2.7 and Samba 2.0.3 ( redhat 6.0 ).

With Old System ( Samba 1.19) when i open a file from one client if i try to open from an other i have a Exxcel

Hi, Can any point me in the right direction to solve this one? I get a: "this account is not authorized to login from this station" message when I try to "Map Network Drive" from NT4server SP4 to my RH Linux 6.0 Samba 2.0.3, yet I can open a telnet session from the NT machine to Linux using this user, and, in a linux xterm window I can list the samba services using

(Erm, sorry about that...) I was talking about errors of the type: Got 0 bytes. The problem was sporatic, and seemed to be load/speed based. That is, the faster the Linux box, the more errors we had. A look through clitar.c led me to a solution. Currently, clitar.c is written to pad a file with zeros if a file read error occurs. This is normal. All of our errors were of the 0 byte length
