I can't figure out how to quote a colon in a filename that I'm trying to push so that it doesn't think everything in front of the colon is a hostname.

I followed the directions for getting ldap support in samba that I'd found at http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/ldap-smb-HEAD-howto.html and was perfectly happy with that until I discovered that win2000 wouldn't work with that code.... ...so, is there a version of samba that supports both ldap and win2K?

Brad, I found your posting of 2/20/2004 with the subject line of "upgraded to 3.0.2 -> funkyness in machine accounts" while investigating a similar problem. I upgraded to 3.0.2 last week from 3.0.0. I have a system which I just added to the domain successfully. However, when I attempt to log a domain user onto that machine, I get this error: The system cannot log you on to

While I wait for an answer to my last question, allow me to ask another. When we upgraded a samba server from 2.x to 3.0.0-2mdk using LDAP, we managed to change the domain SID. Instead of fixing the SIDs on the sever, I re-added the hosts to the domain. Although it was a lot of work, it was successful on most of the systems on the network. However, we have one old NT4 box on the network

Hi, I'm running 3.0.4 and have had several reports from users both using Office and Lotus where the application tells them that the file is already in use when we know it isn't. (BTW, there's a typo on the man page under "lock spin count". "acquired", not "aquired".) Chris -- Chris Garrigues http://www.DeepEddy.Com/~cwg/ Trinsic

Hi all, I'd like to ask to make a version number change for the next stable release. Currently we're planning to release something we're planning to call 2.0.8. However, what I'm actually busyly creating in the CVS tree is HEAD minus vfs and dfs and some of the TNG mods. This is a very big change to call 2.0.8, which implies a minor rev. on 2.0.7. Now I still want to

nmbd has been dying on me occasionally. I'm running mandrake 9.2 with samba3-server-3.0.0-2mdk. We've got our users in ldap but I'd seen this symptom previously when I was using an earlier version of samba that didn't support ldap. There is nothing useful in the logs and a PS shows a nmb process still running. This last time around, I had a ptrace running on both nmbd

What does it mean if a windows XP consistently doesn't show up in findsmb even when it does show up in smbstatus? Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but the same machine sometimes shows up in smbstatus with two different PIDs. We've seen this with two different machines, both running XP. Here's smbstatus output (the machine in question is accountingiii): Samba

Well, as Andrew shouted at me again this weekend it's getting to be about that time.... :-) :-). Yep, we're thinking we should do an official 2.2 Samba release early next week, so if you have anything you can't live with, now would be a good time to tell us.... :-). It's been gestating longer than an elephant, so it's really time to let it out into the world and do its own

I'm seeing some very slow setup times. Here's what I did. I started ethereal while things were running fine and then I waited until my windows box didn't show up in findsmb (I have keepalive set to "yes", so I don't see why it times out at all). I then went into "My computer" which was very slow. When I look in ethereal, I see some interesting nubmers in

I'm concerned about the machine known as accountingii in the below smbstatus: Samba version 3.0.5pre2-SVN-build-1326 PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2727 bbeerman users bbeerman1 (10.2.240.172) 30957 llawrence users df2x1121 (10.2.240.190) 28942

A user who had not been using the server for about half an hour had to wait for over a minute before the samba server would respond. This is using samba3-server-3.0.2a-2mdk. I hope to upgrade to 3.0.4 as soon as Buchan has the RPM ready. In the below log, the user tried to log in at about 10:27 or so. I think I'm not learning anything from this log, so I've also attached part of

List, I'm trying to figure out how to get access to remote shares.... I have two RH 5.2 boxes running 2.04b separated by routers (pecan the VIRCIO lmb and shipe the COMMUNITY lmb)... I turned on remote browse sync to get the browselist from COMMUNITY onto VIRCIO. The COMMUNITY domain shows up on VIRCIO, but it is empty... I don't know, but I think that this could be security

Hi yall, I am having problems using unix password sync. I am able to change the smbpassword successfully if unix password sync is turned off. However, when I turn unix password sync on, I get: Unable to change the Microsoft Networking Password for the following reason: Incorrect Password on the Windows98 client.

Hi, I'm running 2.04b on two RH 5.2 boxes (A + B). The boxes are control separate domains and have a router in between them. I would like for the domain controlled by A to show up in browse list on B. I've tried using remote announce on A to broadcast on the other side of the router, but domain A does not show up.... It seems to me that WINS (nmbd) should be able to hold

I have a large installation >20k users. We're using samba4 for AD Authentication, and also email address validation. I'm trying to edit the @INDEXLIST in sam.ldb to add an index on otherMailbox to speed up searches (0.05 sec for indexed, vs 2.5 sec for non-indexed searches) I'm finding that when I use ldbedit to do this, it appears to add the additional @IDXATTR. However, when I

I just took on a new client who is having a curious problem with mangled names. Here's the history as I understand it: Originally they were on an NT server and there was no issue. My predecessor moved them to a samba server running on gentwo. I do not know what version of samba or how he moved the data, but when he did so, any files and folders with more than 8 characters started
