We have been looking for a way to notify our users when they are running low on disk quota, without sending them mail. WinPopup actually seemed like the best way, so my partner began looking at feeding quota output into smbclient -M when quota was getting tight. The only problem is that smbclient -M frequently fails to find the client's host name. The -I parameter will often fix it, but I am

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.

Hi all, I've installed samba on a sun sparc-station with solaris 2.5. But when i'm doing something that's using the network really intense (like mp3-files playing over the network) the feed is not constant. With mp3 files you can that because you have pauses during the playing of the song. Is this a configuration mistake or something ? cu, Patrick

Hi all, I've looked about and I can't find anything on Quotas and SAMBA with FreeBSD. The FreeBSD manual says that I can enable quotas and how to go about it, but I get the feeling this is just for shell accounts. Quotas would be useless in my situation if they did not work with SAMBA as well. All my SAMBA users have shell accounts as well and only save to their home directory - either

Anyone have any input on this one. I'm running Samba version 1.9.18p10 on an HP9000 HP_UX 10.20. An NT 4.0 server writes files to a UNIX directory and periodically a shell script runs to process any new files found. Occasionally a file isn't found for several hours after it has been created, then mysteriously appears in the UNIX directory. So far this hasn't been a major

My problem that I don't know a good practic way to measure performance of my system I need fileserver for Win9x machines with files share with dos applications Friendly speaking I need to choose between WinNT and Linux I know there are a lot of parameters in for ex in smb.conf but how to play with it? may be there are some utilities or etc. Any help will be appreciated Thanks in advance

Slow connections login isnt too bad ... 4 sec. tops but its at least 10 seconds or more to access Samba shared Printers or Directories. this is a 10/100 network using Redhat 6.0 with Samba 2.0.5a ... everything works great Except for access times. for example Win9x --> NT its relatively Quick. Is this an Authorization Default that checks every access to Shared objects ? security is all

Hi there everyone, Again another slight thing I noticed since I upgraded to Samba 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a. I'm using RedHat Linux on a Celeron 400 with kernel 2.2.13. My socket options in smb.conf is set to "TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192". However I've started getting the following everytime I SIGHUP to reload the configs and stop-start:

You wrote: I have been disappointed that I can't use Linux+Samba as an alternative to a Win9x or NT server for our GP medical practice. The software we need runs in win9x. We crave stability. But Linux+Samba is just much slower as a file server. It's normally quite fast: are you running over a dial-up network, requiring you to adust MTU's for speed??? If not, try ``socket

Hi all, I've a BIG problem on a Unix SunOS 4.1.4 running SAMBA (samba-1.9.18p3) in order to export some file systems to WindowsNT client machines. The client are using Visual C/C++ 5.x for compiling files (source are remote, but binary are generated on local disks). The problem is that the CPU time and the IO goes... too UP (I've a load average of 8)!!! I traced the clients (with log

We're using Samba 1.9.18p10 on a Linux 2.0.35 box as a fileserver chiefly for software development under VC++. Builds are done from the command line, not the IDE. I'm seeing rather slow build performance under NT4SP3. Build performance is fine under Win95. Build performance is also good when building from Samba 1.9.18p8 running on a Sun UltraSparc. To give some concrete figures, building

I have ran across a problem that I cant resolve and no one else seems to either. I recently built solaris 2.6 on an ULTRA 1 Sun Box. I retrieved compiled and installed samba 2.0 from their web site I compiled with gcc and everything works well except for the printing. Samba does deliver a file in my /var/spool/smbprint dir but nothing happens from there no matter what lp or other commands I

Solaris samba 2.0.6 with largefile support running on ultra 10 with solaris 2.7 patch level 106541-07. Clients are win98 and win2000 importing a 10G share from the solaris machine. Using a small C program that writes 1M chunks to a file I can write a file as large as the partition will support. Using the system backup program to write a system backup to a file on the share the program dies with a

Hi all, SAMBA pre2.0.7 ./configure --with-quotas Linux 2.0.36 The old disk quota bug is still here. If user tries to write the file to SAMBA share and disk quota is exceeded, SAMBA fills remaining space within the target file with spaces, and writes it to the share. This is "xcopy" behavior. If the program writes small chunks of file, the result may differ. The user is under

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
