Hello, I know I should get rid of the problem by my own, but unfortunally I failed. So I ask: I`ve a subnet of win9x and WinNT clients connecting to our Linux file server (no more servers in this subnet) via samba 2.02. All win95 can see and mount services of the Samba server. But win98 and WinNT can only see the server but can not connect to a service. I`ve no encryption and security= user in

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 am trying to get encrypted passwords working for a Linux/Samba server serving Win9x clients. We want the students to be able to logon either the Samba file system or the Linux server and allow the students to change their password from either. I would really appreciate any help on this matter. We need to get this working as quickly as possible as the old Netware server is on life support.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear List, Few days ago I've posted, that my Win9x boxes are unable to get the list of domain users and groups from samba-3.0.0 server (for details see bug 596). Unfortunately the same is true for samba-3.0.1pre1. Please people also having win9x boxes and Samba3 PDC confirm that it is a bug, or a configuration error. Thanks for any suggestion.

Hallo, I've just installed Kernel 2.6.25.2 - works fine. But now when I use "smbmount" for mounting shares from my Win9x clients the system (kernel) tells me smbfs is deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.27 kernel. Please migrate to cifs. But at least Win9x seems not to like cifs. Mounting via smbfs works since years, mounting (with the same options) via cifs

Hello I've installed Fedora Core 3 (Test 3, kernel 2.6.8x), with Samba 3.0.8 and OpenLDAP 2.2.13 . I've smb.conf, slapd.conf, ldap.conf, /etc/pam.d/system-auth, nsswith.conf almost same as described on Idealx site. I've very strange thing. If I add user ( for this operation I use smbldap-tools), I can log on by this user at my unix host (for example by ssh), I can logon by this user

Hi all, In trying to upgrade Samba here, I have built various versions from 3.0.11 to 3.0.14a using various versions of gcc and the Sun compiler (this is on Solaris SPARC) and had the following problem in all cases. Running the built samba as a logon server, I find that WinXP clients work fine but Win9X clients have some difficulties. The problem is that the Win9X logon script can't

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'm a bit confused about user enumeration on Win9x boxes. I've got a couple of machines running SaMBa. One (M2Dual) is running 2.0.7 with security = domain and domain server = M2Hub. The other (M2Hub) is running 2.2.3a with security = user. I also have three Win9x machines. All have user level security turned on. Roving profiles work on all machines and all users. Logon scripts run

Today, our network has been excruciatingly slow. I checked the log.nmb file, and I noticed that today, the Samba PDC has been losing its "local master browser" status every 2 minutes or so, for about 15 seconds, to a Win9x client. Before today, this also happened, but only a few times each day. Network configuration: 1. All clients are Win9x. 2. Server is SuSE 6.1, with Samba 2.0.5.

I've run two conformance test binary (winetest-latest and winetest-8cbb8cc38d01) on Microsoft Windows Me 4.90.3000, both warned that Win9x was not supported, and I wouldn't be able to submit results. The lastest one said that there were about 67 tests failed (some wscript and msi error dialog appeared during the test) and it also said that there might be some problem with my

Hi all, I have set in smb.conf: workgroup = "NAMEWORKGROUP" security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = yes password server = "NAMESERVER" in this way I do not have problems for autenticate my win2000 and win9x users by my NT Domain Controller, and share a linux directory, but is not the same for the printers: while with the win9x accounts I be able to connect a network printer, with

[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 have added an HP Deskjet 600 to my debian etch system, using CUPS. It is working fine. I would like to set it up so that I can occassionally print to it from a Windows 9x machine. This is where I seem to be having trouble. I consulted the HOW-TO docs on the samba site, but they are quite detailed and confusing (for me). I don't want to do anything that will cause the printer to work

Hi, I have 3 Samba servers run Samba 2.0.7 on RH6.2, with Kernel 2.2.16-3. Everything seems to be OK, except that my Win9x clients cannot see other Win9x clients across the subnets. Each server has 2 n/w cards installed, with IP Forwading enabled etc. If the user knows the machine name, he can get access to the shared resources across all 3 subnets, but using the n/w neighbourhood browser, shows

Hi all, I have two systems using Win98 and one using Win95. These three systems do not automatically execute their login scripts. I can map the network drives manually and tell them to reconnect at login, but I am wondering why they don't execute them. I can log in, browse to my netlogon share (if I make it browseable), and execute the script manually, and it works. Well, it mostly

Hi smb ML, I have just set up a SAMBA 3.0.4 + PDC/LDAP + ACL/QUOTAS/XFS server under linux Mandrake. All is working good for now. My problem is on the login script of my users. I ' am planning to migrate two novell servers and in the actual login script,we set GLOBAL environment variables. In the login.bat that I'm running onto Samba server et logon, How can I set GLOBAL environment

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,

now that samba3 compile in my redhat 7.2 i want to test it.. reading the documentation that described the new features supported in samba3alpha i cant find too much explanation.. and here is the quiz: now from a win9x client when i see the list of users, i can see groups for adding to my win9x clients shares?? what is the state of support of changing password from a terminal like NT SERVER
