I've got the following performance-problem. Especially large copies from the server to the client take a very long time to compleet. How can that be? Why is that so slow? Much slower than the same action from a Windows server. I use Redhat 6.0 / Samba 2.0.5a and Win95 as a client. Does anybody knows a good reference for optimizing a Samba Server?

Hi you Latin-American dansers, Does anyone has experience with the Policy Editor and Win95/Samba 2.0.6? I'd like to secure as much as possible for my users. The helpfile says something like put a .pol file in the netlogon share... but that didn't work. Or did I something wrong? Well, I don't want to invent the wheel again so I ask all of you... Can it be done and how? Paul Rijke

Greetings, Is there any way to get Samba to interact with MS-DOS? I am attempting to turn a Linux box into a VPN router for DOS clients. What I need to know is, can I get a CIFS protocol stack for MS-DOS, is a TCP/IP stack sufficient, are there any other solutions anyone knows about? Thank You.

Ran into a weird problem, and this seemed a good forum to toss it out into -- if I've gaffed, please let me know. Just upgraded my RH5.0 box to RH5.2. Went well, worked nearly seamlessly. When running 5.0, though, I'd installed the opie-fied ftpd that comes with the most recent opie package (ftp://ftp.inner.net/pub/opie/opie-2.32.tar.gz) and had it work without a hitch. I'd also

This may be, or may not be a security issue, however, since alot of people still use tripwire-1.2 or lesser versions(this is what shipped with R.H. Linux 5.2 at least), they might be interested in following detail: Chuck Campbell (campbell@neosoft.com) pointed me out that tripwire dies with coredump on R.H. linux, if it hits a filename containing 128-255 characters. Playing a bit with debugger I

Hi, When php3 module is compiled in apache, files in any directory will be interpreted by the parser and executed. This is a security breach. There is a way to correct this? Any comments?

Hi, I was wondering how a linux box configured as a firewall stacked up against some of the commercial products like checkpoint-1 and gauntlet. Can someone direct me to a good book or online doc that compares linux to some other firewall methods? Mind you, I''m not talking about a firewall in the classical sense, ie ip forwarding turned off and used as a proxy, but the typical Linux box

Hi Dovecot readers, My server (squirrelmail) provides me with the following error-message when selecting a mailbox (trash): ERROR : Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "Trash" Reason Given: Out of disk space The user is not over quota but for some reason dovecot still thinks this to be true. Can anyone give me a hint for finding a solution for this problem. I have installed:

Florian, Sorry you haven't heard anything but we've recently decided not to offer this product out side of Holland. If your still interested we have another product called ISDN-Flex that provides SIP/H.323 PSTN access inbound/outbound but you need to be connected on on one of our IP or MetroLan products so we can guarantee the QoS.

Hi, I've just installed Samba 2.0.3 and now I'm getting following error: PAM_pwdb[306]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> andreas for samba service I can connect to all shares and printers, but get the error. I suppose it has something to do with the passwords (I'm trying to sync Samba and Linux passwords). Any ideas? /Andreas

Hi there, I've got the following problem... I've read the domain.txt and tried to use roaming profiles.

Hi All, I've got a Samba client that runs Windows 95 (way old, i know). Logging onto the domain rocks!

Hi, I've got a Samba domain running across two networks. One of the Samba servers has a HiPPI NIC on it, used only for point-to-point connections, and unreachable from everywhere on both networks. The problem is that for some reason, nmbd is registering the HiPPI NIC's address instead of the Ethernet (correct) address for the machine. Anyone ever seen something like this before? I'm

I've searched the archives for an answer to this problem, and yet nothing that works seems to have been posted. I've seen it posted many times In my particular case, I'm running Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.5.1, configured with the --with-smbwrapper, --with-automount, and --with-syslog options. I also have samba set up as a PDC, and that seems to be working fine. A stripped down

Hi all, We (the Samba Team) need some feed back from our user community. Anyone want to help out? All you need to do is post us a one liner. Tell us if you want 8 character length limited print share names or larger. If you really must have longer print share names - then how many characters? Should we limit the length?

Folks, I did a basic install of 2.0.5 yesterday and I was wondering type of configuration I'd need to modify to enable users in another subnet access to the test server. I tried modifying the lmhosts files on the client computer, but with no success. -ken
