hello, when trying to allow or deny hosts the access to my samba server and testing the access with testparm i found the following irritating behaviour: both samba and testparm don't properly resolve names. When providing an unqualified hostname in "hosts allow", "hosts deny" or to testparm, then the name resolver obviously doesn't expand the name and retreive the

OK, now I have everything working. I have my smbpasswd file setup and I verified that it is working. Very cool. I still have one question regarding an annoyance with the login window. Although my users and I can log in successfully, the window still has this annoying message (see attachment): Incorrect password or unknown username for: \\SERVERNAME Can I make this go away? Is it a

At the bottom is what I got returned from AMANDA 2.3.0.5 after patching Samba 1.9.16p11 to give estimates. Any idea what I might not have done yet? My disklist reads: shokk \\thor\depot nocomp-user-gnutar To connect successfully to that server with smbclient, I have to do this, giving the same password that I now have in /etc/amandapass: smbclient \\\\THOR\\DEPOT -U BACKUP Also, the

That would be a *really* bad idea. See the l0phtcrack source for details :-). Seriously, though. The password hashes used on NT are very poor. They don't use salt and people are now

I have a Win95 machine that I am trying to connect to a Samba share. When I log in as administrator, I can connect to any and all samba shares just fine. When I log onto the PC as a normal user, it asks for a password and rejects them all. The logs say "server xyz rejected password" for each of these attempts. This server has SP3 and I *do* have the encryption stuff compiled in. I

Is there a way to successfully create a working Briefcase on Samba shares? When I create one in a Samba share, it has a regular folder icon with a desktop.ini file in it. Openning it reveals a plain folder rather than the usual Briefcase applet. When I create one on a Windows NT network share it works fine, but all our big filesystems are unix-based Samba shares rather than NT shares. -Ernie

When attempting to sync multiple sources to a single area, /fs/lib# ls ./ ../ bin/ founder/ skill/ var/ I want to combine these four rsyncs /usr/local/bin/rsync --exclude '.snapshot' --stats -v --bwlimit=1024 --delete -atz 'host::lib/bin' . /usr/local/bin/rsync --exclude '.snapshot' --stats -v --bwlimit=1024 --delete -atz 'host::lib/var' .

Is there a way to tell rsync that if it does not have contact with a certain rsync server to continue on to another for file requests? I imagine something like this, where you define two servers as the source... /usr/local/bin/rsync {serv1,serv2}::src dest ...proposing that 1. Should serv1 be down when the sync is originally started, that serv2 be contacted after a timeout. 2. Not so

Has anyone tried DFS Client SW on a Win 95 machine and then tried to mount the usual samba drives? All I get is a login request that gets refused even with known, correct, credentials. Its appears just the same as the problem we got after installing SP3 on an NT4 machine before changing the registry. The only way to fix it is, on the 95 machine, to remove the DFS client, remove ALL the network

I am trying to setup my Sun running samba 1.9.18p10 so that it can backup my dept's PCs. I can get it to work manually using the smbclient command with no problem. What I would like to do is have a script that is able to take a list of PCs, determine if a PC is online, backup that PC, then move on to the next one. If a PC is down, it can report an error to the admin to state that the

I would like some advice. I am considering the best way to restructure my backup scheme on my NT network. I would like to see if it would be possible/feasible to use cron, smbmount, some SCSI tape drives, and some type of archive tool to backup my NT shares to a RedHat box using Samba. What do all of you do out there? I would envision a situation where each night a script is run by cron that

Hi, We a re planning to migrate from the Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server to the Windows 2000 version sometime within the next few weeks. From the newsgroups and have gathered that the MULIPLEUSERSONCONNECTION registry option that allowed each connection from the Terminal Server to start a separate smb process has been disabled in the 2000 version. Is there any work arounds that can be done in

Ok.. Just for the record, I STAND CORRECTED! The problem does appear to be NT.. The thing that irritated me was that nobody was interested in giving any backup data! Everyone just wanted to blindly admit that it must be NT. Ok.. Enuf bitching.. On to the better stuff... Anyway, David Mansfield and I are trying to narrow down the machine configurations where this happens.. Currently, we've

Last friday we upgraded from 1.9.17p4 to version 1.9.18p3 on a HP-UX 9.04 machine. Now we get lots of entries in the log.smb file like: ERROR: del_share_mode: failed to ftruncate share mode file /programs/samba/var/locks/share.1073807365.8199 to size 42 (Permission denied) ERROR: set_share_mode: failed to ftruncate share mode file /programs/samba/var/locks/share.1073807365.8195 to size 42

Ernie, Thanks for the great info.. Based on what you were seeing, would you suspect that part of the problem is with the combination of NT and the 3com card (3c595)? Currently, we are ONLY seeing this under NT Workstation (not server) and almost all of our machines have this same 3com 3c595 card (only if using 100BaseT).. -- Rick -----Original Message----- From: Ernie Oporto

My whole problem as far as samba was concerned was not compiling with DES support *and* that I did compile with FAST_SHARE_MODES. One clue was this in the samba.log. file. I then did a dejanews search for smb_shm_open and came up with that portion of the solution. ERROR smb_shm_open : mmap failed with code 11 The DES portion came from just reading the WinNT.txt file that came with Samba. I

One thing that needs to be mentioned is that for PC backups, the amanda patch that has to be applied to samba requires that you use level 3 logging to see the "Total" line. Also, does anyone know what this error means? smb: \> recurse directory recursion is now on smb: \> dir received 5 entries (eos=1 resume=0) . D 0 Thu Jun 5

I hate to suggest this, but we need to do what has been done on a few other lists that I'm on. We need to close the list off to only people that are members. It's a shame to see so much spam here after seeing it in my personal mailbox all day long.
