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. Enclosed you'll find additional information. Thank you for helping, Johannes -------- smb.conf: passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *Password* -------- password chat (manually): homer:~ # /bin/passwd web New

Hello! Whenenver I try to save a downloaded file with Opera [6.x] to a Samba share [2.2.x], Opera (and also the windows-explorer) freezes. Having set log-level to 1, I get the following message after a while. Sometimes, but not always, Opera continues working after 30seconds or so. I have the same behaviour in Samba 2.2.2, 2.2.3a and 2.2.4-pre. My Server is running SuSE 7.3 with the 2.4.16

Hi, strange things are happening. Sometimes Samba starts writing things in the log.smb.old File. Every approx. 10 seconds I can find an entry like [2000/01/18 22:41:15, 0] smbd/oplock.c:request_oplock_break(1202) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 13892 on port 1570 for d ev = 306, inode = 817839 for dev = 306, inode = 817839, tv_sec = 387b1bc6,

This is just a information in case somebody runs into the same issue: I was unable to upload drivers to a samba-server (3.0.28a and 3.0.29) via the windows add printer wizard. The driver files started uploading, then processing stopped saying the driver is not compatible to windows xp. In the logs the following message popped up. However some files could be copied: [2008/05/27 10:30:09, 0]

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

Hi, I don't know if this was discussed ad finitum but I can't seem to find an answer in the archive or FAQ. I need to connect to a Samba server using an account even from machines which use 95/98. For NT, there is no problem because I can specify the user, but 95/98 only allows me to specify the password to connect to the $IPC. Any hints on where I can find a workaround to this problem?

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba server? -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

[Note: This has been posted to linux-kernel and was ignored. Since smbfs is maintained by the samba team, I am retrying here] Hi! To maintain and install packages from CD-ROM to my Debian/GNU Linux system, I use Debian's apt package. Since my Linux box is stowed away in a closet, I use an smbfs mount to mount the CD-ROM drive from my Windows desktop machine to the Linux box. This used to

Hello, I'm using samba2.02 and shadowed passwords. I' m on the way to migrate from plaintext to encrypted passwords. Therefore I've set the parameter update encrypted to "Yes". After everyone has logged in I will set this parameter to "No" again and set encrypted passwd = Yes. So far, so good. But three questions are remaining for me: a) what to do with those who

I have a stable configuration of a Samba 2.0.5a server on Redhat 6.0 and Win 95 and Win98 clients that has been running for over a year. Samba provides several file shares which are mapped to specific drives by user logon scripts. Being pedantic among other things I map a shared group share to G: and a user home share H:. When I attempt to implement roaming profiles as per "Using Samba -

I'm running samba 2.0.5a on a Sun Sparc 5 with Solaris 2.6 and trying to use smbclient to copy an entire directory tree to a Windows NT 4.0 box. I'm using the recurse command and can create first level directories but I am unable to create new subdirectories in any of them. For example I created the following directory structure on the Sun: 1 % ls -R .: d1/ d2/ ./d1: f11 f12

I've set up Samba and CUPS on our testing server here, and used smbcupsadd to upload the Adobe PS drivers to the server as directed in the HOWTO (The CUPS and Samba HOWTOs differ on this point, by the way - the latter claims that PSMON.DLL is needed in addition to the eight other files. I played it safe and had it upload that, too). With the caveat that I first have to connect to each printer

Hi, I've set up my smb.conf file with individual entries for the printers that I want to share out to Win95 / NT clients. I've also got 'load printers = no' specified in smb.conf, and the default 'printers' section commented out entirely. Firstly; I still get a 'Printers' system folder when brosing the linux machine from an NT client running windows explorer - is

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. I have

I've just released a snapshot of 2.0.6 in the alpha directory on samba.org. This is intended for testing to make sure some of the recent changes work well on a wider range of sites. I have also built a RedHat Linux 6.X RPM and put it in the same dircetory. If you are not running a mission critical site then we would appreciate feedback on this snapshot. If you have reported a bug in Samba

I've been going thru conniptions trying to set a Windows 98 client for user level access. I think part of the problem is I have insufficient info, in spite of reading everything I can get my hands on. My server is RH 6.0 with Samba 2.0.5a compiled from samba.org source in the default configuration. I have it set up as a working W9x login server, with workgroup= being the same workgroup as the

Hi Guys, I'm having some problems with my domain, I'm running Samba at a Debian Box as PDC for a Win NT Workstation Lab, a Win95 Lab and some W98 boxes. I also run Samba in Solaris 2.6 , the both work just fine, but I can't share printers, disks, or files, since I can't see the users list. (this happens with the both: Solaris'Samba and the Debian's Samba). If I try to

We are a little stuck on this one; running /usr/sbin/smbd = version 2.05(a) from Red Hat 6.1, kernel 2.2.12-20, we can't log on to our Linux server from our W 98 boxes. We can telnet in just fine, but it won't show up in any network neighborhood on the PCs.... We're trying to get SAMBA to run on the Linux server so we can run seven W98 clients for a small law office. Nothing

I'm sure that I'm not the first person to begin integrating SAMBA's WINS server abilities and the new BIND 8 'dynamic' DNS functionality. I downloaded the sample copy of "dns_update" by Stephen Rothwell <sfr@linuxcare.com> which provided a good starting point for creating the interface between Samba 2.0.6's WINS update notification and dynamic DNS updates.
