similar to: Samba dropping connections

I am running Red Hat 7.2 and using smbmount to mount a PC share from a NT4 SP5 Workstation. I have a folder, in this share, of around 300 files and when I do ls -l I get inconsistencies. Sometimes files are missing, and if I keep repeating the command the files are then appear again. Other times the size information is wrong. No one else is using, or changing, any of the files on the source

Hi out there... We just had a hub go down in spectacular fashion - lots of smoke, VERY bad smell, no network connection, melted plastic - very exciting stuff on a dull afternoon! But - it took out the smbd daemon and all those processes running from the affected PC's with it. Why would it do that? I couldn't get the smbd to start either by "killall -HUP inetd" or by

I'm begginer with samba and mailing lists - I've problem with my server on RedHat 7.0 . It's runnig only as a file server.When I log in and I'm doing something ,everything is runnig as it should.. But if I leave computers alone and they are not working for 1.5 min ---> connection is "dropped" and clients show message like: //Server destination host unreachable.

Is there any way to change the default netlogon share from using z: in logon scripts? We use a Win95 time recording software package that uses the same drive mapping and need to put it on our RH6.1 fileserver but have the obvious conflict. Bit of a problem really. Thanks. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We're trying to get samba running on a RH 6.1 server installation, runnijng as a trial. So far we can only see the server on 2 NT 4/SP4 workstations and not on the Windows 95 clients, and then only if we do a Start/Find/Computers. I can map a drive to a share, and can reconnect to it after rebooting the NT workstation, but can't see the server in Network Neighborhood. TCP/IP is

We're getting very close now to having our RH6.1 server as we want it. Just a few anoying things left to iron out so we can trial it properly prior to going live. One of them is the "veto files" option in smb.conf. We want to stop users on Win95 clients from seeing (or deleting) the dot-files in their home shares. I've tried the above option, I've tried "hide dot

I've set up a samba 2.0.5a / RedHat 6.1 file server. It's all going fine, but for a minor issue that is irritating rather than critical. I have directories for each dept, and then sub-dirs for users, with a dept share dir in each dept dir. I can set the valid users to individual users for the shared directories but some of the depts have 25 - 30 people and so I'd like to use groups

Can anyone help us... We're Samba ist Timers... We're trying out a Linux machine as a feasability study. We're running a copy of SuSE 6.1 Linux on a DX4/100 and trying to get Samba up asd running. As far as I can tell it's all ok, but I can't ping anything from the Linux box and Win95 / NT workstation can't see Linux. The DX4 has a 3Com509B NIC, and as for as I can tell

My thanks to those who've helped me in the last few days. I've had some big breakthroughs and may now be able to help one or two others. My next task is to set up Samba to log users into their shares on a mapped drive that will be commonto all machines - eg. h:\. So I have 4 user shares, and a common IT share that we can all use. It works fine on my NT4 machine and logs me in on

We have a small problem - again - only with NT4 workstation now. We are moving into the first phase of rollout of our samba server, but need to go over to a domain setup from a workgroup. If I change from a workgroup to domain name, I get a message box that says: " Unable to connect to the domain controller for this domain. Have your administrator check your computer account on the

We're almost at the stage of rolling out our new RH6.1/Samba server - one last item. We have some 60 users and 7 departments. Can I use/how do I use a logon script to log groups onto the server. I currently have 1 logon script per user, but a small change in 1 share means updating every script. Can I log them on by group ID but still map their personal shares with the %U flag so I then

I am using the defaults that came with the samba RPM package on Mandrake 10.1. For socket options, it has: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 Is that something that may fix the problem if I change it?

I recently upgraded my Linux install (Debian potato to woody) and now Samba is no longer playing nice with Windows 2000. I can use smbclient on the samba machine to connect to itself, so at least that's working. The error from Windows is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired.". I deleted the smb.log file at one point in an effort to reset it. I figured it'd be created

I?m using SAMBA 3.0.4-6.3E as a PDC. I have Win98, WinNT4 and Win2000 clients successfully joined to the domain. But I can?t get an XP box to join. The XP machine can ?see? shares on the SAMBA PDC but strangely does not show up in network neighbourhood. You can find it if you search for it. The PDC is just using smbpasswd, no LDAP The machine add line in my smb.conf is as follows..... add

On a server that has been running smoothly since it was setup, and with no changes to configurations or network or anything, users cannot save a shared QuickBooks file. they have been regularly using, updating and saving to this file for a few months. All users are able to create and update other files in the same share. I have not confirmed if they are able to create and update new QuickBooks

Hi Ricky / AJ Progress of sorts. I got passed the last problem by looking at the makefiles but run in to the next one, see below.

Filesize problems with samba client on Redhat 9 and W2k machine. The original smbclient did this so I upgraded to the latest, it didn't help. The server is W2k with an NTFS volume, these are video files - the windows software breaks the files at the 2G limit, but for some reason some are reported as 2G others as huge !! One day I might own 25T of disk, but not today. Anyone any ideas ?
