Hi, Recently i moved from samba 2.0.5a to Samba 2.0.6 on 4 machines. Samba 2.0.5a ran quite smooth except for oplocking problems, so i decided to upgrade. I compiled both releases myself and used the same ./configure options both times (but i compiled on different machines: v 2.0.5a was compiled on a HP 9000/715/50, 2.0.6 was compiled on a HP 9000/800/K360) I used binutils 2.9.1 and gcc 2.8.1 on

I have been running RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.3 for the past week or so. My network is made up of NT servers and 95/98 clients. So far Samba has been running beautifully - I can use my Samba shares just like they are NT shares. My only problem is from time to time my Win98 machine "goes to sleep" and asks me for either a password or an IPC$ password. Generally this happens after a

Hi I have Win2k servers connecting to the samba server by mapping a windows user to unix user. We never had any problems with thsi connectivity but for past 2 weeks we have an erratic problem which causes the windows account to lock thus making samba unfunctional. When I get the windows account unlocked then samba starts functioning properly again. I do not have a scenario to reproduce the

Hello all, We have a Windows 2008 Terminal Server which people connect into to run their programs. We are getting upwards of 60 people connecting in at any time. We are seeing error messages from the application complaining that it can't access one of the files on one of the shares. I have read that this problem is likely to be due to the fact that we run one machine as a terminal server and

Every once in a while a user cannot connect to one of two samba servers. Most of the time (but not always), if he waits 15 minutes to an hour, he can connect successfully. Sometimes he can connect to one server, but not the other, which have the same configuration. We are using authentication from the NT server. Samba version 2.0.3 The messages in the log file are are shown below. In this

Samba 2.0.3-8 installed via rpm RH5.2 I've set up security = domain. I have 2 errors: 1. I cannot map to a share on the linux PC via name. 2. When I use IP address to map a share, I get the following errors in the log.<machine> [1999/05/14 14:44:24, 0] smbd/uid.c:become_gid(105) Couldn't set effective gid to 99 currently set to (real=0,eff=0) [1999/05/14 14:44:24, 0]

We are seeing erratic behaviour from Samba for connecting Unix drives to an NT terminal Server. Samba version 2.0.6 Solaris 2.6 NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition with service pack 4 running WinCenter NIS Logon Utility. The NT server is not part of a domain and uses the WinCenter Logon Utility to authenticate username and passwords from my Unix NIS server. Samba is set up for server level

We recently upgraded one of our AIX servers (AIX 4.3.3 on new hardware), on which we share documents via a SAMBA share, the samba version is at 2.0.6. Since that upgrade I have been getting calls from clients on multiple subnets having difficulty connecting, slow download/upload speeds, and getting their Microsoft domain accounts locked up. Upon review the log files for those complaining, I see

Hello, I have a fairly large problem mounting a samba share from within linux. The samba server, running Solaris 7 with Samba pre-2.0.7, has a bunch of shares on it, one of which I can mount from Windows, while logged into the ACADIA domain, but I cannot mount that share using smbmount in linux. When I log into windows, I log in with the username 033197m and my password. In smb.conf I have my

Fellow Samba Users: This is my first attempt at running Samba. I recently came into possession of an older Sun Sparc 2 with a 4.6G drive, so I thought to myself ... great! I can run RH 6.0 and Samba on it and use it as a file server. Seemed like a good idea. I installed Redhat, and went right to work configuring Samba. After a few hours I noticed that there was a newer version of Samba than

I need to mount the unix file system to Windows. Installed samba and made changes to config file smb.config There's a problem when I map the drive. Its gives me a err msg " Incorrect password or unknown user name for IPAddress\workgroup" The config file # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: REDHAT4 workgroup = JPROBE30 # homedir = NT - Mapped drive, eg:%H

I'm running FreeBSD 4.4, with Samba 2.2.2 freshly installed, with the FreeBSD Ports package to install files in correct places. I've a Win2k system tring to join the domain "FREESIDE" It will authenticate ok from the win2k command line. "net use x: \\crypton\homes /USER:FREESIDE\jerry" It seems to work ok during the first part of joining a domain, i.e. password

Hi all. I'm having a strange intermittent problem with Samba 2.2.8a losing connectivity with our PDC and BDC. We are currently having a problem with our PDC restarting due to a bug check about 2-3 times a month. When this happens and the PDC is restarted or anytime it is restarted, we are not able to map shares on any of our 5 servers using samba 2.2.8a - the fix is to kill smbd and nmbd

I'd like to change Samba passwords from win95 and NT4 clients. I use security=user. I don't give shell access to every user, so they can't use smbpasswd. I've tested from a win95 client with the precompiled samba-2.0.4b.i386.rpm: net pass \\greg greg test1 test2 I'd used smbpasswd to change greg's password to test1 on host greg prior to this. Here's the smbpasswd

Hi! I know this is about the most asked question on these lists. I've been searching the archives looking for an answer, but all I can find is the same question over and over... I'm trying to get the Unix Password Sync option to work on my server. I'm running RH 6.0, with MD5 and shadowed passwords enabled, and Samba 2.0.5a (the RPM version). When I try to change passwords using

I'm having problems accessing Samba shares from my XP Pro machine. Samba 2.2.7 is installed on two Redhat 8.0 machines and configured using SWAT. I have user level security and encrypted passwords setup. I have a printer shared on both servers as well as home directories and one restricted access share. My printers are setup for guest access so all machines will always be able to print.

Could somebody please help me with the following problem. I am running samba 2.0.6 on redhat 6.1. I want to change passwords from my win9X clients with the 'net password \\server user' command or the password dialog in the system setting. My globals are as followed.. security = user encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd passwd

Hi all, We are having some problems getting a solaris 9(sparc) file server running samba 2.2.2 to authenticate aginst a windows NT 4 PDC. Let me say first that this was all working at one time, then we had some data corrumption on our NFS mounted /usr/local, and had to restore from tape. Due to some issues with solaris ufsdump and ufsrestore, stuff was not quite put back properly. We do

Hello, Beta 3, ./configure --with-ads & krb5, slackware system (no PAM). Things seem to be correctly configured, done the net join part without errors, I can use e.g. smbclient -L or wbinfo -u, but users cannot acces shares on the Samba machine.
