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.

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'm trying to get thumbsplus working under Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper wit wine (0.9.22). The install goes perfectly (not even the i need mdac message) but then it start. Thumbsplus is asking for mdac version 1.5 or higher. I tried to install this but then it asked for IE. Fine, i install explorer (which worked fine) and then mdac...but mdac install says nope , no IE can be found :-(. Than i saw in

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

I have been having some problems recompiling the src.rpm for samba 2.0.5a samba-2.0.5a-0.src.rpm I used the command rpm --recompile samba-2.0.5a-0.src.rpm. But nothing apparent happens. Any one have any ideas ? Rowan [TSS] Gerber Scientific Products http://www.gspinc.com

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

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.

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

Hi, Has anyone had this problem with Samba? I have been having trouble getting my Samba server to show up in my Network Neighborhood list. It is in the right workgroup, and when I do a search for computer, it is found. Yet, it never shows up in my NN list. Can someone give me some advice on how to make this work? Thanks, Ken

Hi, Here's the deal; Currently within our NT domain, Network Neighborhood can see our SAMBA server via both the "netbios" name (set with 'netbios name = vegas' from within the smb.conf file), plus the actual UNIX system name. We want our users to browse our SAMBA server only via the "netbios" name and not the actual UNIX system name. How can I configure

Hello SAMBA gurus, I have SAMBA installed on a Linux box behind a Linux firewall. Also running behind the same firewall on the same class C sub-net is a NT 4.0 box. After starting up SMBD/NMBD I could see the remote SAMBA system and the file and printer shares displayed as icons in the NT 4.0 Network Neighborhood Explorer file system. Right clicking and displaying the menu over the highlighted

How do I display Samba Server's description on NT network neighborhood. The default description displayed "Samba 2.0.5a". Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Tom Ho

Hello. My problem is not samba realted, but I might hope that it can help me to solve it. Our network is about 200 users. Some of them are using windows. But today Network Neighborhood on all computers became empty. I've tried smbtree and its listing is empty too. If I enable -d10 I can see in the last string: "Unable to find master browser by broadcast" The only idea I have,

Hello all, Just a small question that I was unable to find an answer on the samba sites. Is it possible to hide the samba server on the Network Neighborhood? Something like setting the "Hidden"=dword:00000001 on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters] I'm not a member of the list, so if the replies could be sent directly to me it would be

Hi I'm resending this message in the hope that i can at least find out out if nobody has run across this problem. It is quite a serious problem since we deploy many samba servers frequently. If no one on this list knows the answer(or the answer is obvious) please point me to the appropriate list. I seem to have a recurring problem with browsing the network. I set up a file server in my

We're running Samba 2.2.2 over an NT network. Our clients use Win95 (for the time being) and I wondered how we config Samba so they can map the shares using network neighborhood. We can map fine through MS-DOS, but when I try, for example, to map E drive to \\nfssrv\ads share via network neighborhood (where we ARE able to see the shares), it says E: is already connected to . Do you want

Hi there, In our Network Neighborhood I can see items for old workgroups and domains that no longer exist.
