Hello list members, I'm slightly confused as to the status of the samba project(s), and was wondering if someone here could give an authoritative answer to what the situation is. Is it correct that the current latest stable version 2.0.7 is being developed into 2.2 by a continuation of the "original" team? And samba TNG is working on a different approach which will be version

Is there anyway to expire password for windows clients with a Samba (in my case recent alpha version)? I found a post the TNG parameter "password expire time = 10" but a "strings smbd | grep expire" didn't turn in up in the binary. Anyone have any ideas if this is possble (I see it posted frequently to the archives, but no answers). Systems and Network Administrator

After reading through the Samba 2.2 PDC Howto, I have a couple questions: 1) In Chapter 3. User and Machine Accounts: Is this section out of date? If so, what is the status of machine and user accounts? Do we still need to follow the instructions here for "add user script" entries, etc? 2) In the old (Sept. version) of samba-tng, there was an option to specify "local"

Hello everybody, Is it possible to use ACL with Samba 2.0.7 ? Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if samba provides a means to start a programme on an NT server, specifically a service? This is equivalent to the 'net start' command, but I wish to start a service from my Linux server. Thanks Rob --

Hi, I am just fiddeling with 2.2.0 final. I am having trouble with the config files I used with 2.2.0alpha3: check_access: no hostnames in host allow/deny list.

Dear Sir I been reading through your (?) samba-doc folder on Debian 2.2. The document DOMAIN-CONTROL.txt is dated 1996 and updated 1998. It mentions that SAMBA cannot be a PDC. This is not the case anymore isn't it? Thank you Warwick Chapman (Glenwood 1999) http://www.boatrace.co.za Assistant IT Manager Glenwood High School, Durban, South Africa 031 2055241 083 7797094

Hello! I have a query regarding the use of "encrypt passwords = yes" and is wondering if anyone can help me with it. If I recall correctly, when using "encrypt passwords = no" , Samba will lookup the username/password via the UNIX /etc/passwd file or equivalent. And as the password can have mixed-case passwords, the "password level = x" parameter is used to

Hello, I use cvs to download samba with pserver.samba.org i get the 2.0.4b version ! where can i get the last stable release (2.0.7) and alpha versions with cvs and anonymous ? Thanks Guy Roussin

Dear Andrew Tridgell and Samba Team, You have done a wonderful job in providing an excellent piece of software. I am interested in porting smbclient to Handheld device, mostly as a hobby. Please see my website http://vieka.com/. Because some of the Handheld OSs don't have the ability to access Windows share resource, specifically, the new Pocket PC by Microsoft, I would like to add this

Concur ... I reckon that you need a bunch of how tos, that you can sent these rude people. I think that you are a victim of your own success. Samba has hit the mainstream, and now you are paying the price :-) Still ........ I prefer these messages to those filled with hypertext ... or worse.... 2 Meg of mime formatted drivel :-) Has anybody thanked you recently for providing so much help on

Jerry, Perhaps you could help me with a problem building a Samba print package. I've downloaded the drivers files I need from HP. I run the appropriate mkprintpkg.pl command, but it dies with the following output: [root@tux designjet]# /usr/local/imprints/bin/mkprintpkg.pl --name="hp1050c" --version=1.00 --display-name="HP DesignJet 1050c" -d "HP DesignJet 1050C

Well, as Andrew shouted at me again this weekend it's getting to be about that time.... :-) :-). Yep, we're thinking we should do an official 2.2 Samba release early next week, so if you have anything you can't live with, now would be a good time to tell us.... :-). It's been gestating longer than an elephant, so it's really time to let it out into the world and do its own

The "printer drivers download" feature of SAMBA-2.2 is great. Thanks to the SAMBA team. I'm using SAMBA-2.2.0 and everything works fine except one command: $ ./rpcclient sdprint -U root -c 'enumprinters' Enter Password: rpc_api_pipe: cmd 26 on pipe 703e failed to return data. result was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL $ I can't say that rpcclient log file is useful for me but

Hi Jerry, how can I download the SAMBA_2_2 you told about? Via cvs I only got the same 2.2.0alpha2 release. :( Gogo. -----Eredeti uzenet----- Felado: Gerald Carter [SMTP:gcarter@valinux.com] Kuldve: Thursday, March 22, 2001 4:36 AM Cimzett: bartus.l@bitel.hu Masolatot kap: samba@us5.samba.org Targy: Re: list of users in Win9x On Wed, 21 Mar 2001 04:49:02 Bartus Levente wrote: > > I

Dear all, This is an embedded firmware engineer Honey from China, and I am studying the samba and samba-tng, because the size of samba is too large to my development. I want to port the samba-tng to embedded ARM Linux system, use the kernel version is 2.6.35, but I found the samba-tng can't be compiled by cross compiler(arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc). And I can't

Hi, I posted this problem before in more detail (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=104756899022766&w=2) but received no response. At the current state of Smaba 3.0 and Samba-TNG these two seem to be incomaptible. Samba 3.0 can't join a TNG controlled domain. I think this should affect a lot of installations as TNG as a controller and "stable" as file/printserver seem

Hi, While testing the upgrade from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7 I found some kind of misbehaviour of inherit permissions. It was already known that the SGID bit on directories is only useable with "inherit permissions = yes". Most of my shares depend heavily on this (unix) feature. Today I found out I cannot change a file attribute to read-only from NT while "inherit permissions" is set
