Hello from Austria, We are running LINUX (Suse 6.2) with samba 2.0.5a without troubles in one subnet. Conecting machines (NT4.0, SP5) from an other subnet, i always get the message "...unable to find the domain-controller..."

Hi, I have a problem with the followig configuration. If anyone can shed some light on it I would be very grateful! Solaris 8 Samba 2.2.4 running via inetd NT 4.0 users access data and their own home directories stored on Unix from, mainly, NT PCs Not all, but some users end up with multiple smbd processes.

Hi, I'd appreciate any help. I'm getting this odd error when I add in a new samba share to the existing ones on a machine. The error seems to affect some of my NT clients, yielding a message "A remote procedure call (RPC) protocol error occurred." This does not happen to all my NT clients, nor does it seem to affect smbclient on my other samba server. The samba server is

Hello all, I'm having a curious case preservation problem. When I searched the archives, I found similar questions asked before, but was unable to find an answer that does the trick. In my case, I have two samba servers. The first is still running version 1.9.17p3 the second is using 2.0.5a. Both servers are on HP-UX 10.20 workstations. The client software we are having a problem with

I'm currently running Samba 2.0.5a on a HP-UX 10.20 file server, to allow clients running NT4.0 (sp5) to use the resource over the LAN. Samba has initially installed and run perfectly, connecting shares for 150 or so clients. The clients are mapped to their group share as part of a login script on NT. A copy of the config file is attatched. The security is set to server, server details are

Hi, I'm trying to share a machine that's on the other side of a gateway. The machine being shared is a Linux (kernel 2.2.1 (RedHat 5.2) and samba 2.0.3), and the box trying to access it is NT4.0 with SP5. It looks something like this ------- --------- ------ |Linux|-----------|Gateway|----------| NT | ------- --------- ------ 192.168.32.72

I am currently using Samba 2.0.6 on a Sun box running Solaris 2.5.1. If I create a file on my Unix filesystem like name : data.txt permissions: rw-rw-r-- owner : John group : developers Assume my name is Brett and I'm in the developers group, if I go to my NT 4.0 system and modify this file via the NOTEPAD application, everything works fine, But, if I use MS Excel and

I'm trying to set up a new fileshare, to replace an aging NT4 machine we've been using for far too long. I'd like to run Linux (RedHat 7.3) on the machine. Basically, I'm trying to create a fileshare "files" that people can transparently log in to from NT4 and Windows 2000 workstations. My boss has approved the use of Linux for the server, but only if I can make it

hi, Has anyone encountered problems running virus checkers on NT4+sp3 clients against Samba served drives ? We recently upgraded a samba server to 1.9.18p10 and now have an intermittent problem where during the scan of Samba drive the virus check flakes out with the error; "Network Name was deleted" I'm told that the server still appears to be browsable after this error, and the

Hi All: I have a Debian 2.1 system running Samba 2.0.4 which works fine with Win95/98/NT4.0 but does not show the samba shares when the client is Win2k. You can mount the share OK even though it has a little red tail in the Windows Explorer, just can't browse to mount it. Do I have a problem or should I be patient and it will be fixed in the new samba release??? Thanks, Richard Hogue

I am running Samba 2.0.6 on HP-UX 10.20. I serve out print services sitewide to a couple of hundred printers. They are networked, jet direct connected. However, they show as local devices on the server (we implemented BSD printing on the HP ourselves). I have up to about 600 users utilizing this service. We use security set to server with an entry for everyone in the password file. The

I've been having an odd problem with nmbd and WINS. We have two WINS servers running on NT4.0, and eight solaris machines running samba (2.0.7). Every so often, it appears that WINS loses its db entry for the samba machines. If I stop and restart nmbd, the samba machine reregisters with WINS and all is good. The problem is very sporadic, and doesn't seem to affect all of the machines.

What i see with google and that error code is. Windows activation problems due to bad disk/bad sectors. File copy problems due to wrong rights. Virus/mailware activity. And what happens if you change your share to : [fileshare] comment = Public Share path = /share/fileshare public = no writable = yes printable = no A few thing you can check/try. Greetz, Louis

I've set up a Samba 2.2.5 server authenticating against an OpenLDAP server. Everything seems to be working, except that changing directories takes 15-30 seconds. I've set up nss_ldap, optimized the nscd cache and my LDAP server's cache and indexes, and both seem to respond instantly on the command line (for cache hits, anyway). If I connect with NET USE on a client machine, it

Running 2.2.7a as a Samba PDC. My root account seems to have been killed off. I can't join computers to domains, I can't add users, I can't login with a 2000 box as root. If I try and login as root I get "The system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 inthe message file for %2" . It's possible that I really pooched it. I migrated our PDC to samba from
