Hello, I've done a fair amount of searching, and couldn't find a definitive answer. I am moving my dovecot/postfix servers and mail in Maildir formats to a new host. When I move the Maildir directories, what should I do with the dovecot.index/cache/log/etc. files? I know I can filter them out, and dovecot will recreate them, but is that the best approach? I am thinking of the following:

Hi, I have a Samba print share set up, with a "print command" specified that just cats the file to /dev/ulpt0. This share is accessed by the guest Samba account, which I have set to be the 'smbguest' username. I can manually run the print command as root, and the file prints. I can manually run the print command as 'smbguest' (through sudo) and the file prints.

I am new to Samba, but not to Linux. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have installed Samba and it appears to be working, at least as far as I have tested it. However, I have hit a snag in my testing. I have searched Google for several hours but I have not found a solution. On a Linux machine (named "annwn") running Fedora Core 6, I have set up a share, using

Hi, I am playing around with automatic printer driver download to Windows 2000 clients from Samba 2.2.8a-1 which doesn't seem to work. Whenever I right-click on the printer and say "connect", it displays: The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed..... Here is my smb.conf file: [Global] workgroup = DEBIAN_FANS load printers = yes

Hello, I am currently trying to set up my Samba 3.0.4 testbox to be a PDC for a MS Windows XP Pro SP1 box. I am using the latest smbldap-tools from IDEALX and I have really REALLY tried to do things right. Followed their manual... I cleaned my setup three times today and started from scratch ... Managed to join my DOMAIN yesterday but right now no chance. Read TOSHARG, OReilly`s "Using

Hi all, In continuing of previous problems, I've noticed some potential problems with force user / force group and Windows XP Professional. I'm not exactly sure why or how, but it appears that XP picks up the fact that it's being connected as the forced user (smbguest), and continues trying to authenticate to other services/shares as that user (smbugest). I'm not sure if this

Hey, everyone. I'm running Samba 2.2.8a on a Debian Linux 3.0 box and for some reason, when someone tries to delete something they can't, it does give them the access denied message the first time. When they try to do it again, no message appears and it seems to be deleted (it disappears from the list), but when they refresh the list, it appears again. My file system is as follows

Hello, I've upgraded a Linux box from Debian 2.0 to Debian 2.2 (potato), before the upgrade I had Samba 1.9.18 which worked without any problem. Upgrading to Samba 2.0.6 (debian version), now every connection fails with this error: [2000/01/31 12:07:36, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(72) Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,65534) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0) [2000/01/31 12:07:36, 0]

Hey, I had a problem with rebooting XP and joining the samba domain, which was controlled by my gentoo linux box. I worked for days for a solution, and found it....!!!! The problem was that I could join the domain fine, but had to reboot, and then found i was rejected from joining then. It appeared like the domain was invisible to the XP box. I pulled my hair out, scoured the web

Hi there, after several (pretended successful) rejoins to the domain it does not work and we decided to give up the domain login concept and simply map the shares by a batch file now. We also had to disable the downloadable printer driver option, because not all drivers work correctly :-( -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces+goetz.kopmann=airbus.com@lists.samba.org

Greetings, I don't know how common an issue this is as I haven't found much in the list archives that was helpful to me, so I'm hoping for some pointers. FYI, we have samba 2.3.3a-6 running on the 2.4.18-10 kernel. There seems to be an issue with smbfs mounts at times where connectivity may be lost (e.g. Win share becomes unavailable) causing local processes such as lsof or ps,

I have the default installation of samba (2.0.5) that came with Caldera OL 2.3, but it doesn't seem to be starting up properly, nor is SWAT working. When I run the script 'samba start', I get the message "Starting samba: smbd nmbd", but when I check the running processes, only nmbd shows up. Running smbstatus gives me the message "Couldn't open status file

Wow I'm sending my second cry for help before the first even gets a reply, I'm starting to feel like a moron because I have no idea how I caused this current hitch. Here's the story: I was trying to add an acct called "administrator" to samba which has an enabled,good linux acct. I never did get that acct working for some unknown reason, but what happened as a result of my

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Samba, trying to make it work on CentOS 7. Before that, I ran Samba successfully in a mixed environment with Slackware64 14.1 on the server and Slackware/Windows Seven on the client side. I have three sandbox machines running CentOS 7. One has a minimal install with only the samba and samba-client packages. Just to be on the safe side for fiddling,

The 2.04b rpm for rh60 ships with and installs a config file for logrotate (the samba.log file in the packaging/RedHat section). ===== /var/log/samba/log.nmb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd endrotate } /var/log/samba/log.smb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd endrotate } ===== 1) I think that the use of "endrotate" is wrong. There is no

what is the format of this file? what is the best way to access it w/o the smbstatus program? IE: with perl -sv

Hi all, I would like to be able to pause a printer shared via Samba from Windows 95/NT workstation. Can it be done? Thanks, Walter Dorciak.

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

Using Samba 2.2.5 on FreeBSD 4.5. We have a file share used by several people working on common projects. The share is set up with force group = cad create mask = 0774 force create mode = 0774 directory mask = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 so that everyone can create/modify any file in the share. The new VFS recycle bin, however, sets the file

I downloaded nilo and oskit from www.nilo.org. Added pcnet32.c linux-2.0.39 driver to oskit. Compiled nilo with pcnet32 and produced boot floppy image. Use it inside vmware vm. My aim is to be able to test pxelinux using vmware+nilo and not a real machine. Floppy starts, detects nic, receives ip from dhcp server, requests boot image to tftpd-hpa, then crashes when talking to tftp. Is
