I've been suggested to get some logs and give a brief description of the problem I'm encountering with Cadds5 / Samba 2.0.6 and offer them to you , via http or ftp , to try to find a solution I 've collected the logs , can I send them with a description of the problem Thanks Stefano Colombo ( scolombo@cdmtc.it ) System / Network Engineer CDM Tecnoconsulting SPA v.

Dear Dave, Doesn't this only work if you're using samba as a domain controller and the client says "net use h: /home" I've not got it to redirect "//server1/username" to "//server2/username" when the NIS map says "user server2:/path/&" Though if it could be done I'd be VERY keen.

A moderately-frequently asked question is "why do automounted directories in shares disappear?" The old answers were: 1) they timed out and auto-un-mounted, and 2) you shouldn't re-export NFS-imported stuff anyway. A new answer (0) was just suggested by a Sun techie: add a "browse" option to the automounter map entry, to make them appear even when they're not

It's generally a bad idea to import data via NFS and re-export it via Samba:

Of course, having said that, the authentication errrors look as if the web server didn't have permission to read the files Samba provided. Do the Unix permissions on the files include read for

Has anyone seen file corruption with Excel 97 SR1, on Samba? Scotty (scott@dork.com) is running 2.0.7 on SCO 5.0.4 on a Compaq Proliant 800, compiled on SCO 5.0.5 box.
