Could somebody please help me with the following problem. I am running samba 2.0.6 on redhat 6.1. I want to change passwords from my win9X clients with the 'net password \\server user' command or the password dialog in the system setting. My globals are as followed.. security = user encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd passwd

Here's my setup: Caldera Open Linux Lite (kernel 2.0.29) Samba 2.0.4a Windows Domain (Two Windows NT 4.0 Servers -- one PDC, one BDC -- and numerous Windows NT 4.0 Workstations) I can see my Linux box in Network Neighborhood on my Windows NT boxes. I can open the Linux box and see the top level shares available. When I try to open a share I see one or two anonymous folders. Anyone

Hi all, Our company uses a buggy piece of appraisal software called ACI Rapid Report. We recently switched from Netware 3.1 to Samba 2.0.4b for file serving, and since then have been unable to create new documents in ACI. Before creating a new document, ACI forms a list of all .aci files in the "data" directory. Locally, this takes a few seconds. On Netware, it took about a minute.

Hello, I've got an application, ACI Rapid Research for Windows, which is causing me a ton of problems under SAMBA. When the program goes to create its own list of valid files to work from, it ends up calling unix_convert on each file in the directory. The problem is that unix_convert then goes and calls name_map_mangle() twice for every file in the directory -- and I've got 3025 files.

Hi everyone, We use samba 2.0.4 and are very glad of it. However, recently I had to add a backup facility on our network, so we plan to purchase Arcserve IT for NT, in order to backup our servers. We are using mainly 3 Linux servers and 1 NT server, which runs the backup service. However, as Itried to add a simple share on the file server to enable backup, later I encounter problems with

Hi again, I was previously writing for a problem with Arcserve IT and Samba (with linux). The connection drops after 15 minutes. Continuing to understand what's happening, I discovered the following message in the logs: [1999/06/01 14:42:08, 0] smbd/files.c:file_new(85) ERROR! Out of file structures Immediatly I ran into the samba code to try to understand the cause of the problem.

Greetings, I'm here as my last resort, spent all day researching and still without an answer, though I saw many references to the same problem. I have a Solaris 8 U2 running Samba 2.2.5 compiled with one flag: --with-acl-support I've setup a machine account in /etc/passwd and /opt/sfw/private/smbpasswd according to the FAQ. Also tried the automagic way as well in the smb.conf. I also

Hi! When I enter smbpaswd as a normal user iget the following error: Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 139 machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified password is invalid.

Hi! Even with 2.0.4, I'm still seeing a lot of oplock break failures (clients failing, see log further down). The client hangs for approx 30 secs (sometimes more) and then gets back online. At least one user can't use the file shares at all; it hangs whatever he does, and on any computer he uses (NT or 98, laptop, desktop...) Other users have less problems, but maybe they are less

FYI: I'm using samba 2.0.6 for clearcase interoperation between Unix and NT, and while it works great 99% of the time, I run into a problem whenever I do a complete build on an NT system, which involves compiling ~1500 files. The first 1100 or so are compiled correctly, but then the following errors show up on the NT box: The system cannot open the device or file specified. And the

We are experiencing problems with Adobe Photoshop and Samba, all versions up to 2.0.6. We run Samba off Compaq Alphaservers (ie 64 bit). Symptoms: 1) On doing a "Save As" in Photoshop, we intermittently get: "Could not save as F:\<filename> because the file is already in use or was left open". A zero length file is left on the Samba share. 2) Problem only

Hello, I am having a very speific problem with my samba interface. We just migrated to a new IBM pSeries server with AIX 5.3. The older server was a RS6000, with AIX 5.2 and everything I'm about to describe below worked without fail. We have a Windows 2000 Server that runs IIS. There is a web-based program (programmed in VB Script) that calls test.sh AIX script (through samba) on our AIX

Hi ! I have a problem after changing NT sp3 to sp4 and Samba from 1.x to 2.0.

> > Samba Fans: I currently have a number of samba servers running Samba-1.9.18 on Solaris 2.6. But each and every share requires the user to log in with not just the password but the correct username as well. Here is the interesting part. I left the security parameter as default, security=share. # Global parameters security = share workgroup = BEACORP [backup1]

Hello everyone, I recently built a second PC at home with RH 7.2 and have downloaded and compiled 2.4.13 to my liking and have made smbfs asa module.

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

Should I be concerned about getting the [1998/12/18 07:15:07, 0] lib/doscalls.c:dos_GetWd(405) Very strange, couldn't stat "." error in the logs? I've noticed that it is occuring in some of the log files for users and not in others. I've looked in the source as to where this is occuring and added a path=%s\n",path to the DEBUG line to maybe see which UNIX directory

Hi there, I am experiencing some odd behaviour with my samba server (version 2.0.7 running on mandrake 8.0). The server comes up ok and appears on the browse list, but you cannot list the shares on it. The following error shows up when I use smbclient -L: tree connect failed: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.) I think I have figured out what is going wrong from the
