Hi everyone, Just today one of our users informed me that a file she was working on in Microsoft Excel 97 got corrupted. She was working on the file directly on our server, which is running Samba 2.2.3a compiled using gcc-3.0.4 on Linux kernel 2.4.17-xfs and XFS-based filesystems. I checked the Samba logs for her machine and found the following in a search for the filename of the Excel file she

Hi Federico, many thanks to you. This patch helped me too. Do you know the intention of the original changes by the samba team in ipc.c. I don't think, it is a good idea to store all profiles in an separate directory and the user registry in the home path. Thanks again Rudolf Rudolf Kollien email: Rudolf.Kollien@medas.de Rudolf.Kollien@kollien.de

Hi there everyone! I'm using Samba 2.0.5a-19990721 on a RedHat 6.0 machine with Linux kernel 2.2.12. My system generally works fine, however recently I've had some complaints about some files being corrupted. The latest and best-handled to enable a debugging happened at around the same time. Both clients were using Windows95 OSR2 machines with Excel 97 SP-2. Two users reported the problem

I've turned off oplocks with my Samba completely just to be sure. Things haven't slowed down that drastically, but perhaps it's because the load isn't as high as with some other much larger

Hi ! Starting the smbd, I get the following output in samba.log and i cannot connect to samba (from Win95): [1999/10/05 09:47:27, 2] interface.c:(213) Added interface ip=129.103.47.94 bcast=129.103.47.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 [1999/10/05 09:47:27, 1] files.c:(216) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are available.

If you don't want to type the ip adress of your samba server every time you connect, add a entry to your local hosts file and lmhosts file. You will find this files (and sample files with extension ".sam") in the windows main directory of Win95 and under "system32/drivers/etc" on WinNT 4.0.

Hi, I've been looking through the news archives but haven't found this.. Perhaps I just didn't see the forest for the trees... :) My question is about the format of text files. Files created on Linux show up on Windows (via samba) without the newline. Is there a parameter setting that I'm missing? How do I get compatibility between the two? Thanks, Mike -- "My Humility

Hi everyone, I'm running Samba 1.9.18p10 and it works great. But I can't get it to announce to other subnets that are on the other side of a router. I've added "remote announce = 192.168.1.255" to smb.conf (my machine is in 192.168.0.0 subnet) and there are no other NT machines in any of the subnets. What should I look for? Thanks, Joe

I have an Access application that work with some shared database file. The file is ~ 3 Mb. Since I have a Linux system with Samba, this application work very slow. I have multiple user with win95 on this file. Is there an option for allowing multiple access without cache ? any other idea ? Thanks. ___________________________________________________________ S?bastien HEITZMANN

Hi! I've installed RedHat 6.1 on a Pentium 233. I'm using samba 2.0.5a which came with RH6.1. On another PC (Pentiun-II 400) I've installed Windows NT 4.0. These two PC's are connected to the same network. I've configured Samba to share the home directories on the Linux System. I'm able to reach my own homedir from NT. Within NT I've assigned this share to drive L.

Hi there everyone! One of the users complained to me that yesterday, he suddenly couldn't access the network. He was online the whole day, then suddenly at around 6:45pm he couldn't write. A restart of his workstation rendered him completely disconnected from the Samba domain. Server is running Samba 2.0.6 on a RedHat 6.0 machine with Linux kernel 2.2.13. Client is running Windows95 OSR2

The Samba FAQ mentions a program called timesync to update the system clock on clients from the server. The download address in the FAQ is out of date - where can I get a copy ?

You must create a output filter. Edit /etc/printcap and add your client printer like this: ... PC-PRINTER:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PP01:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/Filter/PP01:\ :sh: ... Adjust the printcap parameters as needed (spool directory, directory to find the filter script). Make sure the lpd can access the directory. Consult your manual. Now create the filter

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

Hi, I recently upgraded from Samba 3.0.7 to Samba 3.0.14a. This is a Debian Woody box using the packages by Sino[1], running Linux kernel 2.6.11.8 and the XFS filesystem with ACL support disabled.

Suddenly, today, my wife's Windows 95 machine can't print to the network printer on my Linux machine. It complains that "there was an error printing to \\posh\lp ... There was a problem printing to the port." The error 1st occurred (coincidentally?) after I had upgraded the kernel from 2.4.18 to 2.4.19. But rebooting to 2.4.18 has made no difference. We're running smbd

Hi, this is a new user who is trying to reach the local network, managed by a windows NT server. I have edited my smb.conf file (which I include) so to be able to reach the network drives and the printers on the ntserver locally. When I try to see what is available using smbclient at the prompt, I cannot see which are the Services available (sharename fields empty), but I do see a lot of things

too. However, when I mount the share via smbfs (on a Linux box, of course), the same file is 2.0T as reported by du (ie: du -csh), 18446744072754680087 bytes as reported by ls, but is only 3340095767 bytes as reported by stat. Further comparison of stat results of the same file via smbfs and directly are intriguing. directly (ie: on the server): Size: 3340095767 Blocks: 6523640 IO Block: 4096
