similar to: Recompiling Samba Source

After fighting with trying to rebuiled my src.rpm file. I decided to use a plain old fashion compile from the tar files. which worked ok, no settings changed. at about 11pm last night I finished and noticed a few things that made me a bit uneasy. 1) all the Samba bin files were installed in /usr/local/samba/.. 2) no smb.conf file was created. I used ./configure, make , make install when I

Is it better to start Samba using in initd, or to use the script, much like the one provided by SuSE. ?? so far I have used the script, but I don't like the fact of having to start samba manually. I would much prefer to see it run as a service. just to confirm all it really involves is starting smbd and nmbd Rowan [TSS] Gerber Scientific Products http://www.gspinc.com

I remember a while back seeing someone mention a device that would integrate an apple with a pcnetwork. basically it was a small box that had a samba server built in. you would connect your mac to it with the other side connecting to the hub of a pcnetwork. It would intern allow Apple shares to be viewed in network neighborhood, and macs to mount pc shares./ does this ring a bell with anyone.

I just set up my samba box as a pdc on small (4) network that I have at home. whenever I specify user shares on my 98 client it is unable to get the user list from the Samba. I am able to log on without problem as multiple users. I also notice that when I logon on my 98 client it copies config files every time I logon. I imagine that I may not have the necessary shares setup. I am running

ok I finally got 2.0.6 up and running, much thanks to those who helped. currently I have it set up on a 166, with a 2gig drive running suse6.0 with kernel version 2.0.36. I am using an NT PDC, with samba authenticating via the server. a few things. For some reason periodically when I browse the server my home directory will not show up. now that i think I may be logging in as guest but why

Dear mailing-list! I have Samba 2.0.6 on a Redhat 6.1 linux box. How can I make samba use the /etc/shadow file for authenticating users? Reading the archives I assumed there should be a compile-time option I should set, but I found no such option.

Hi... I wonder if someone can shed some light onto a password changing problem I'm having with 2.0.6. I have a script that is launched using the 'unix sync' procedure which all worked fine in 2.0.5a which using a script like this. #!/bin/sh echo "Enter old password:" read $OLDPASS ... ... I've only listed the first two lines as this is where it's getting stuck.

We are running Samba 2.0.5a on an AIX 4.2.1 box, and since we upgraded from 1.9.18, a Windows 95 client reports intermittent problems (timeouts) when saving small files. The log.smb file has entries from those events: [1999/09/08 14:59:07, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(905) oplock_break resend [1999/09/08 14:59:17, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(905) oplock_break resend [1999/09/08 14:59:27,

I cannot get smbclient or smbmount to work from linux -> linux. I'm running 2.05a on Red Hat 6.x servers. I can use NT shares from linux. I can use samba shares from NT & 95. Is there some trick to getting this to work between linux machines?

Hello, we are trying to upgrade from 2.0.5a to 2.0.6 (under Digital Unix and Windows 95 clients). After the upgrade we get a lot of errors like these: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Log <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Jan 4 16:18:35 fissio smbd[31799]: [2000/01/04 16:18:35, 0] smbd/service.c:make

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.

Hello all - I've got an unusual problem that keeps popping up since samba 2.0, all the way through 2.0.5a. I'm running LPRng on my Linux box with Samba. Both startup fine. Fileserving with samba is fine, but whenever I try to print from any of my clients (Win 9x, NT, doesn't matter) the print job just sits in the SAMBA spool directory. Looking through the LPD logs LPR never gets

We're getting very close now to having our RH6.1 server as we want it. Just a few anoying things left to iron out so we can trial it properly prior to going live. One of them is the "veto files" option in smb.conf. We want to stop users on Win95 clients from seeing (or deleting) the dot-files in their home shares. I've tried the above option, I've tried "hide dot

Hi All, I want to select a level of a factor variable from a dataset.

Dear Colleagues, I have x, y data (pollen and seed dispersal from oaks !) that I would like to fit with a function which look like this: p(a,b,x,y)=b/(2*pi*a?gamma(2/b))*exp(-(square_root(x?+y?)/a)power(b)) I am looking for a and b values that fit my data at best. Can someone give me hints to perform such an analysis with R ? Thanks a lot Sophie Sophie Gerber

Hi, in the last weeks I've unsuccessfully tried to get Samba (2.0.5a) - Unix (Suse 6.2) password sync working. Maybe somebody can give me a hint, what's wrong.

dear redhat, i examined a friend's system today, to help him configure it. assuming that he just "installed" from scratch the samba package, it appears that you have provided a default smb.conf file for redhat 6.1 that puts samba private configuration files in /etc. the suggested options, for example show "smbpasswd file = /etc/smbpasswd". this is REALLY bad. 1) you
