similar to: pre2.0.7 disk quota bug

Since an 'over-quota' or 'disk-full' message is being sent from Samba to the client, it seems obvious that the client _should_ be passing this info. on to the user -- but it isn't. One possible way to get this info. to the client is for Samba to call a shell script similar to the 'preexec' options if quota is exceeded. The script could then invoke smbclient to send a

Hi all, There is a small bug at the new Unicode support. I didn't follow the consequences of this bug, but this _is_ a bug ;-). The bug stands on wrong charset name. Instead of KOI8-R (this is right) it's called KOI-R (this is wrong). (I'm afraid the long lines wrap, but it shows the picture) 1.

Slow connections login isnt too bad ... 4 sec. tops but its at least 10 seconds or more to access Samba shared Printers or Directories. this is a 10/100 network using Redhat 6.0 with Samba 2.0.5a ... everything works great Except for access times. for example Win9x --> NT its relatively Quick. Is this an Authorization Default that checks every access to Shared objects ? security is all

Hi all, I've installed samba on a sun sparc-station with solaris 2.5. But when i'm doing something that's using the network really intense (like mp3-files playing over the network) the feed is not constant. With mp3 files you can that because you have pauses during the playing of the song. Is this a configuration mistake or something ? cu, Patrick

People might find this entertaining and/or useful: http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf-2.52/html_chapter/autoconf_10.html With the help of Jos Backus I just discovered the answer to http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync-cvs/2002-January/001271.html is that Sun's test(1) is breathtakingly broken when passed a dangling symlink: $ ln -s /nowhere bad $ ls -l bad lrwxrwxrwx 1 josb

Hi all, I've looked about and I can't find anything on Quotas and SAMBA with FreeBSD. The FreeBSD manual says that I can enable quotas and how to go about it, but I get the feeling this is just for shell accounts. Quotas would be useless in my situation if they did not work with SAMBA as well. All my SAMBA users have shell accounts as well and only save to their home directory - either

Hi! I m trying to install samba-2.0.6 on solaris 7. When i run configure script, it gives me an error checking configure summary ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config it also doesnot find "fcntl" What do u ppl suggest. What kind of locking is on my system. Thanks Regards Amer!

My problem that I don't know a good practic way to measure performance of my system I need fileserver for Win9x machines with files share with dos applications Friendly speaking I need to choose between WinNT and Linux I know there are a lot of parameters in for ex in smb.conf but how to play with it? may be there are some utilities or etc. Any help will be appreciated Thanks in advance

Hi there everyone, Again another slight thing I noticed since I upgraded to Samba 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a. I'm using RedHat Linux on a Celeron 400 with kernel 2.2.13. My socket options in smb.conf is set to "TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192". However I've started getting the following everytime I SIGHUP to reload the configs and stop-start:

We have been looking for a way to notify our users when they are running low on disk quota, without sending them mail. WinPopup actually seemed like the best way, so my partner began looking at feeding quota output into smbclient -M when quota was getting tight. The only problem is that smbclient -M frequently fails to find the client's host name. The -I parameter will often fix it, but I am

Hi all, I've a BIG problem on a Unix SunOS 4.1.4 running SAMBA (samba-1.9.18p3) in order to export some file systems to WindowsNT client machines. The client are using Visual C/C++ 5.x for compiling files (source are remote, but binary are generated on local disks). The problem is that the CPU time and the IO goes... too UP (I've a load average of 8)!!! I traced the clients (with log

But Linux+Samba is just much slower as a file server. It's normally quite fast: are you running over a dial-up network, requiring you to adust MTU's for speed??? If not, try ``socket

Anyone have any input on this one. I'm running Samba version 1.9.18p10 on an HP9000 HP_UX 10.20. An NT 4.0 server writes files to a UNIX directory and periodically a shell script runs to process any new files found. Occasionally a file isn't found for several hours after it has been created, then mysteriously appears in the UNIX directory. So far this hasn't been a major

Is there a posibilty to change all Unix file permissions from the NT-Explorer (not only arciv,hidden,sysem mappig). A solution could bee to extend the context menu with to entries show security and set secutriy (inf - files could do that for example winzip-installation does the sama). This extensions can call for example a rsh programm which will do that job. Does anybody has a solution or ideas

We're using Samba 1.9.18p10 on a Linux 2.0.35 box as a fileserver chiefly for software development under VC++. Builds are done from the command line, not the IDE. I'm seeing rather slow build performance under NT4SP3. Build performance is fine under Win95. Build performance is also good when building from Samba 1.9.18p8 running on a Sun UltraSparc. To give some concrete figures, building
