Yes unfortunately I do not have much luck recieving help from the SAMBA mailing list. After much playing I found something weird that was seemingly causing incorrect comments. Most printers would recieve the comment - "no entries" which originally I assumed to be the default comment given by Win95 when it could not get a proper comment. However I later found that this is not the case.

Greetings all, Recently we implemented the automatic install of printers (+ their associated drivers) for our Windows 95 clients. Originally we achieved it using Samba 2.0.4. Unfortunately we could not get the comment field (as configured at the client) to get automatically filled in. After upgrading to 2.0.4b we found that 'magically' the comment field was filled in with the same

We have recently implemented printing via SAMBA for our site. In most cases clients are able to double click on printers from a browse window and have the driver files automatically install. However in alot of other cases, the client computer 'decides' that it can't locate the files. In these instances we are advising users to manually type in \\SMBSERVER\PRINTER$\PRINTERNAME which

Has anyone else managed to get the 'point and print' (automatic driver installation - PRINTER$) system to work with the Hewlett Packard 2500 Colour inkjet. I have taken a look at the HP web site and it seems that they have changed the format of the driver INF files (and hence does not work with the make_printerdef utility). I have almost managed to get it to work (by a little hacking).

Hi there everyone, Again another slight thing I noticed since I upgraded to Samba 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a. I'm using RedHat Linux on a Celeron 400 with kernel 2.2.13. My socket options in smb.conf is set to "TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192". However I've started getting the following everytime I SIGHUP to reload the configs and stop-start:

We have been looking for a way to notify our users when they are running low on disk quota, without sending them mail. WinPopup actually seemed like the best way, so my partner began looking at feeding quota output into smbclient -M when quota was getting tight. The only problem is that smbclient -M frequently fails to find the client's host name. The -I parameter will often fix it, but I am

We're using Samba 1.9.18p10 on a Linux 2.0.35 box as a fileserver chiefly for software development under VC++. Builds are done from the command line, not the IDE. I'm seeing rather slow build performance under NT4SP3. Build performance is fine under Win95. Build performance is also good when building from Samba 1.9.18p8 running on a Sun UltraSparc. To give some concrete figures, building

Samba Gurus. We run W95 and NT4 clients in a mixed environment of Netware and Samba on SGs. Netware is the primary network login(over IPX/SPX). Am using clear text passwords for the Samba network. NT 4 is patched up to SR 3. Samba version 1.9.18p7. Problem. Samba performance from NT 4 machines is VERY slow. Many orders of magnitude slower than W95 which is very good. This performance

Dear Dave, Doesn't this only work if you're using samba as a domain controller and the client says "net use h: /home" I've not got it to redirect "//server1/username" to "//server2/username" when the NIS map says "user server2:/path/&" Though if it could be done I'd be VERY keen.

Hello, Although I've been using samba for years at my customers office, I recently moved one on a HP E60 server running RedHat 6.2. The samba version is 2.0.6, untouched from the distribution. They use a (weird) accounting software built on the top of FoxPro, requiring a *huge* amount of open files. I accordingly raised the values for files-nr and inode-nr and the stats seem ok. They have

Hi - samba-list newbie here. Trying to setup SAMBA print sharing (over CUPS as the print layer) with **native** Windows print drivers being made available to the connecting workstations... We've already tried the Postscript/PPD approach, but with the multifunction/mopier machines we've got here, native is definitely best to get all the options/interlocks shown. Problem is that the

When the students arrive in a few weeks, we will have several thousand registered samba users and (we anticipate) several hundred simultaneous Samba connections. (This will be our first period of significant Samba use.) Our management folks are asking about collecting periodic Samba usage figures. This is a bit vague, but something like a rolling count of simultaneous connections, per-user

When I try to join the Win2k machine to a domain, I get the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "WIN2K": The procedure number is out of range. This is a Win2k PC attempting to join to AIX 4.3.2 running samba 2.0.7. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill -- /------------------------------------------------------\

I recently downloaded and installed binary versions of Samba 2.0.7 on two Sun Microsystems platforms running Solaris 7. One of the machines is an Enterprise 5000 and the other is an Ultra 10. I set up both servers for USER lever security and set all shares to be browseable. Both were set to be in workgroup SUN. When first installed, both machines appeared in workgroup Sun under Entire Network on

I have just been upgrading my Samba servers from 1.9.18p10 to 2.0.6 So far as I can tell users have been happy (or at least not noticed!). Our clients are almost exclusively NT 4.0 (most at SP5). Our servers are Suns running Solaris 2.5.1 and 7. On upgrading 2 of our busier servers (for admin - home directories and NT binaries), I observed a considerable increase in server load. Home server

[Redirected to the general samba list] One of the things which Samba provides is a facility to run a "preexec" script before allowing a user to connect to a directory, and refuse to make the conenction if the script returns a non-zero result. This can prevent someone from logging on twice, limit them to specific hours, from conencting to the wrong directory and so on. In

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.

Always via logical expressions. In this case you can use the logical expression myDF$b != "0" to give you a vector of TRUE/FALSE B. > On Sep 25, 2017, at 8:00 AM, Shane Carey <careyshan at gmail.com> wrote: > > This is super, really helpfull.
