similar to: 2nd trial: Browsing problems with Samba 2.0.5 on HP-UX and WinNT4 .0SP4

We're *****very happy***** samba users in an environment where: 3 HP-UX 10.20 9000/700 ws act as servers for about 35 Win95/NT clients. Just upgraded to 2-0-5a: much performance for clients with very very low ws load. Great. There is one ws acting as main server offering disks via NFS to the other two, and there is a central samba configuration area where we use the machine name to

Hi, I have problem with trusting WinNT4 and Samba 2.2.8 connect PDC NT4 (domain SOUZAVTO) -> Samba (domain SOUZ) in log: [2003/09/01 09:09:31, 0] smbd/reply.c:session_trust_account(497) session_trust_account: Trust Account SOUZAVTO$ - password failed [2003/09/01 09:09:31, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(511)

I have set-up a Samba server (FreeBSD 4.5 release and Samba 2.2.2) which is used in our Office as a PDF-converter. The Server gets the file as a Postscript file using a Samba Printer share and then sends it back to the user by e-mail. This all works excellent using Win2000 on the clients. The user prints to the share PDF using a Postscript driver, the print job gets sent and a few seconds later

Hello I have a problem with connectivity between Samba and NT. When I do a net view on an NT box like: "net view \\TESTSERVER" the system asks me for a username and password. Why is Samba asking for a user and password when on both system the same user and password exists. Im using the option EnablePlainTextPassword on WinNT. After typing the username and password (same as I used to

I've got a Samba 2.2.3a server up and running, and it is working great. No major problems, but one slight annoyance. There is a share setup called "testing-files". In Windows 2000, access to this share works fine (and in Win95/98 if I remember right), but in Windows NT 4, an error stating "Network path not found" is given. If I rename the share to "testfiles", it

Hello, I'd be very grateful if anyone could share their ideas on this problem. The situation is this: I have a Solaris 8 machine running Samba 2.2.1a. The global configuration has "security = USER" and originally had "encrypt passwords = NO". I was able to map drives to shares on this machine from my WinNT 4 SP 5 workstation when I set the registry key advised by the

Hi, I have a Samba print share set up, with a "print command" specified that just cats the file to /dev/ulpt0. This share is accessed by the guest Samba account, which I have set to be the 'smbguest' username. I can manually run the print command as root, and the file prints. I can manually run the print command as 'smbguest' (through sudo) and the file prints.

I am really new to configuring and maintaining samba, and have what I belive should be a quick question. I have recently installed Samba 2.2.2 on a Solaris 8 server. I need to make a directory on the samba server accessable by a small group of people here at work. The users who will be connecting to the samba share do not have accounts on the samba server. The are coming from Windows 2K boxes

I have a samba server version 2.2.7a-8.9.0 running on RedHat 9.0. It is acting as a domain controller. I have some win2k clients logging in to this domain and mapping home shares, shared drives, etc. The network the servers are on is 1000Mb and the client networks are all 100Mb. The client networks are linked via 1000Mb uplink. The problem I'm having is that when a user copies a fair

Hey all, well, first of all (even if it's quite late as it's in version 3.0.7 already): thanks a lot to all who are developing and supporting Samba! I'm new to Linux and I really like the way things are happening on this OS. But now, I've reached a point where I have to raise the white flag... It seems to me like - at least my - software raid can't dance Samba. I've got

I'm having some kind of trouble mapping all users in an ADS group to a Unix id. I'm running Samba 3.0.7 on Solaris 9 as a member of a Windows 2000 ADS Domain. Here's my smb.conf: ******************************************************************************************************** [global] workgroup = ADSDOM realm = ADSDOM.MY.COM server string = Samba

Hey, I worked for days on this, and I want to share the solution I stubled across. I got this error message from my wife XP laptop: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear, contact your system administrator for

Hi, I am playing around with automatic printer driver download to Windows 2000 clients from Samba 2.2.8a-1 which doesn't seem to work. Whenever I right-click on the printer and say "connect", it displays: The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed..... Here is my smb.conf file: [Global] workgroup = DEBIAN_FANS load printers = yes

hi, i am at time trying to setup up a samba pdc as replacement for a windows nt pdc (thats the good message). I've already a running openldap 2.1.4-86 with ou's people, groups and computers. I've also already added users to it (with a modifiied version of the migration tools). Also working is pam_ldap and nss_ldap (i can login in into my unix machine with the ldap users - and i can

Hey, everyone. I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on a Debian Linux 3.0 box and for some reason, when someone tries to delete something they can't, it does give them the access denied message the first time. When they try to do it again, no message appears and it seems to be deleted (it disappears from the list), but when they refresh the list, it appears again. My file system is as follows

Hey, I had a problem with rebooting XP and joining the samba domain, which was controlled by my gentoo linux box. I worked for days for a solution, and found it....!!!! The problem was that I could join the domain fine, but had to reboot, and then found i was rejected from joining then. It appeared like the domain was invisible to the XP box. I pulled my hair out, scoured the web

Hello, I have the following setup: Fedora Core 6: cheeky (192.168.0.11/24, kernel 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6), trying to share dir /home/cheeky/Desktop/Documents and a printer.

I am new to Samba, but not to Linux. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have installed Samba and it appears to be working, at least as far as I have tested it. However, I have hit a snag in my testing. I have searched Google for several hours but I have not found a solution. On a Linux machine (named "annwn") running Fedora Core 6, I have set up a share, using

Hello list, could somebody please point me to the information (tutorial) how to configure this properly, or where is the problem? I need to access the share without authentication (it's an isolated home network)... It used to work on FC3 but I can't figure it out on FC6 :-( By the way, there's a typo in the original post: the windows machine is W98 not 95. thanks Marek --- Marc

Hi all, In continuing of previous problems, I've noticed some potential problems with force user / force group and Windows XP Professional. I'm not exactly sure why or how, but it appears that XP picks up the fact that it's being connected as the forced user (smbguest), and continues trying to authenticate to other services/shares as that user (smbugest). I'm not sure if this
