Hi, I like to know if anyone has ever gotten samba to work on Sun Solaris on a Novell Network. I don't have an issue with installation on Sun Solaris that works fine.

I've searched down freshmeat and the likes.. but I still have yet to find a program for linux that runs like "net watcher" for windows.. which would be a program for X that would show in real times all the people connected to the samba server and all the files they have open under there names.. does such an app exist? smbstatus works great but doesn't cut it when I want to know

so apparently the printer name and the share name for the printer need to be the same so cups knows where to send the print job. <p>By the way, my configuration file was generated by SWAT, so it was SWAT that put the *&nbsp;command's in the conf file, and it was SWAT that allowed me to name the share something other than the name of the printer. <p>Dan <p>Ries van Twisk

If I try to do the following: /usr/local/samba/bin/pdbedit -a -u someusername -U 5000 This works as one would think, the account is created with a RID of 5000.

Hi, I am deploying samba for an embedded system. The requirement is that the system should be able to mount windows share points. I believe "smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt" components are needed to do the same. I am not very clear about smbmnt though! I find that smbmount, smbumount and smbmnt are all quite huge. Around 300 to 400Kb each. I understand that Samba is capable of doing
