Hello, We are having a problem printing from winnt machines to a samba printer server. The software we use uses the same name for most things that are printed, also it sends some information to the printer before it has compiled the report, resulting in a delay between the file being created and the job starting to spool. It seems that what is happening is that somebody starts to print, the file

I am trying to connect to computers running windows9x knowing only the IP address using smbclient. on windows computers i can type \\130.15.210.185 in the address bar and browse the shares of computers that don't show up in my network neighbourhood (computers on other subnets don't seem to show up, but i can still use them by typing the IP in) I am using smbclient like so:

We are running samba 2.0.4b to provide corporate print services. Everything with regards to printing is working like a charm. However, twice in the past two weeks, some of our Samba servers have disappeared from the WINS servers. The WINS servers are NT servers running 4.0SP5. The strangest part was that in one occurrence, it was the lone samba server at one location, but in the other

Hello all, For quite a while now we've been running a samba 1.9.16p10 server, providing file shares, etc for PCs. We're installing a new file server tomorrow so I thought I would take this opportunity of upgrading to a new version of samba. I've downloaded, compiled and installed the latest version (2.0.5a) on the new fileserver (Solaris 2.7) and all seemed OK until I try and

I am having an unusual bit of behavior with a recently upgraded 3.0.8 installation (from 3.0.2a). I upgraded the server and retained the secrets.tdb file. The server itself is using security = domain, and it had been joined to the domain prior to the upgrade. Now, once I started the new version, I couldn't log on, and would get the error "There are no logon servers available to service

Is there anyone running Samba 3.0.X on Solaris 8 that has VFS working? I am dying to know if this is a problem with my setup or if there is something else going on. If you do have it working, please let me know which module. Thanks.

I have been experiencing a problem here after having upgraded last week to 2.0.7 (from 2.0.4b) on Solaris 2.6. The smbd processes are growing in size until they are taking over the system. I just had to stop and start samba on a system that had smbd processes of 26 M, 24 M of which was resident in memory for most of the processes. After stopping and starting again, the processes are back down in

Hi, I am running samba and lprng for 4 hp laserjets. Sometimes a samba print job goes to the wrong printer. Normally everything works just fine.

Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks Balagopal jobstart

We have updated our long-standing Samba install on a Solaris 8 box to 3.0.24 and are interested in making use of the Windows ACL mapping capabilities to help take over a Windows share. However, there is a snag - the pre-existing box has usernames that differ from people's Windows logins, i.e. their Unix login is freddy, and their Windows login is fred_smith. I have our AD domain membership

Hi all, I'm a little confused over what exactly the NISPLUS and NISPLUS_HOME support options actually mean. I'm hoping somebody can shed a little light on this. Our main samba server is a Solaris 2.7 machine (using NIS+ for passwords, etc, etc.) running samba 2.0.5a. I have recently been investigating a problem where, after a reboot of the server, various 3rd party products (POP, IMAP,

This problem continues under 3.0.4 on Solaris 8 - attempting to use the "vfs object" parameter in a share prevents access to the share and results in the following in the log files: [2004/05/10 16:04:57, 0] lib/module.c:do_smb_load_module(57) Error trying to resolve symbol 'init_module' in /usr/local/lib/vfs/audit.so: ld.so.1: /usr/local/sbin/smbd: fatal:

HELP! I am becoming quite frustrated with trying to set up remote browse sync. I have several subnets and ONE workgroup. I want one host in the entire workgroup to have a complete browse list that it has collected from all of the local master browsers. One the master: local master = yes domain master = yes On one clients in each subnet: local master = yes remote browse sync = 1.2.3.4

I have put together a simple set of diffs that corrects the problem described by Steven Fishback <sfishback at interpath.net> on 10-30 on this list regarding incorrect information reported by last on Solaris. The patches merely pass along the username in the utmpx record for a logout. Is there any reason why this would be a problem with other OSes? If not, maybe this could be rolled into the

Hi, I checked the archives, but couldn't find this question: I have two printers set up on my RedHat Linux 6.1 box, called lp0 and lp1 (original, huh?). Anyway, I want both of these printers to be visible and browsable on the network. I have the following relevant lines in my smb.conf file: printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes [printers] comment =

Is there a file I can place in the netlogin directory (or anywhere else for that matter) that will represnet a logon script? I want to have my workstations auto-mount particular shares on the samba server, without the user having to make the mount. This way when I add new users, the shares are automatically present. If there is a script I can place somwehre, please tell me what it's name is
