Hello to all, This is my first ever use of a mailing list so bear with my ramblings and illiterate prose. I have been using samba from 2.03 to 2.07 for over a year now. We run DHCP, WINS on the samba (acting as domain) box running Mandrake 6.0. Windows machines are running everything from Win95 up to Win2K. With Win2K I have problems with slow read/write, particularly for one application

I posted this earlier, but never saw it show up in the mailing list so I'm posting it again. I have a Samba 3.0 PDC using LDAP as it's password database backend, but I can't get a user to log on to a Win2k machine on the domain. In the log file for the PC (on the Samba machine), I see that the user is found in the LDAP backend but that getpwnam failed. The username does not

Hi All: I have a Debian 2.1 system running Samba 2.0.4 which works fine with Win95/98/NT4.0 but does not show the samba shares when the client is Win2k. You can mount the share OK even though it has a little red tail in the Windows Explorer, just can't browse to mount it. Do I have a problem or should I be patient and it will be fixed in the new samba release??? Thanks, Richard Hogue

I try to admin Samba 3.0.0 and 3.0.1pre3 (tried both versions) NT4.0 PDC with NT4.0 machine and NT4.0 USRMGR.EXE and get persistent error message 1) The group name could not be found 2) The user name could not be found 3) The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Loggin into domain under name: root I can see the user and group listing. When I click on a user to see his

Dear list members, we are running samba 2.2.3a-6 with debian woody. Printing from win98, NT4.0 AND two win2k PC works, but with two other win2k PCs printing is not possible: The following german error Message is displayed in the win2k printer configuration: "Zugriff verweigert; kein Verbindung m?glich" The english translation could be something like this: "access denied; no

Printing from NT4.0 clients to Samba 2.2.3a using the NT4.0 drivers from HP works fine for me, my only problem has been with W2K clients using the W2K drivers from HP. The drivers from www.hp.com appear to be level 3 drivers, that is where they install, and they are downloaded by W2K drivers if they are available when the NT4.0 drivers are also available. Now, whether these drivers from HP are

Good evening, On the bottom of page 53, section 4.1.2.2 in the SNIA spec (http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/CIFS/CIFS-TR-1p00_FINAL.pdf), it states if the dialect is NT LM 0.12 and extended security is off (I.e., use "traditional" NTLMv2/NTLMv2 authentication w/o SecurityBlobs), the SessionSetupAndX response is as shown in section 4.1.2.2 with a word count = 4. However, what I have

Hi everyone, OK, this is driving me nuts, and I'd really appreciate some help from those who are intimately familiar with the way the Locks, etc work with Win2K clients... We have an ACT database that is shared among about 25 Users, all Win2K clients. I have tried and tried and tried again to move this database over to my Linux (Redhat 7.0 with almost all 7.1 patches) server running SAMBA,

Dear All, I've seen the PRINTER_DRIVER.txt doc on getting the PRINTER$ share set up to automatically add printer drivers to Win95 clients. It explicitly says that the procedure described does not work for NT4.0 clients. I can't find any other documentation on setting up a PRINTER$ share suitable for NT4.0 or NT2000 clients either in the distribution (2.0.5a) or the web site. Is this

Hi, We are considering samba 3.0.1 as a replacement for our old-hag Windows NT4.0 Server PDC. However, we do want some policy control, and from the samba 3.0.0 documentation (23.3), it says the only current functional policy is the password expirey. Is this still true in samba 3.0.1? Can an NT4.0 server be a backup domain controller to samba 3.0.1 PDC? That way we can keep the NT4 machine

Hi, I have a Samba server Version 3.0.14a-2. It has been working flawlessly for close to a year. I utilize winbindd to a NT4.0 domain to authenticate users to my Samba shares. All of a sudden, the shares are no longer accessible to Windows machines. An ls on an example directory shows: drwxrws--- 15 root 10000 4096 Dec 6 11:21 AC_Manuals This is wierd because the 10000 should show

I have Samba 1.9.17p2 and it works great on NT4.0 SP2 When I update to NT4.0SP3, my Samba connection gives me the following message: The account is not authorized to login from this station. Did something change? Maybe NT4.0 SP3 uses a smb.conf option that wasn't used before? I've installed the package version from the Solaris 2.5 web site. I'm actually running Solaris 2.5.1

Hi All, When I copied one file from NT4.0 to Linux through samba with 'copy' command in NT4.0, the file was always corrupted. Size of the file copied into Linux was always about 4G. If I copied it through Windows Explorer, it was OK. It seems samba cannot process the "Write Raw" request sent by 'copy' command correctly when file size is larger than 4G bytes. Thanks

I've studied the books, searched the list archives, etc. I suspect there is someone who can just tell me one thing to tweek, so I humbly beg your advice. Situation: I am playing with/learning Linux, intending to replace our two company Netware servers sometime in the next 6 months. At home, I have an NT4.0/SPC PDC, an NT4.0/SP6 docked laptop, and an HP server with RH7.1 or 7.2 (2.4.??

I'm running a NT4.0 Terminal Server with 50+ peopleon it. All the users' home directories / data etc. is located on a samba server (2.2.1a) on a RedHat7.1 box. All the users on the server are shown in samba under the same connection as they're all on the same machine... this means samba only runs one copy of smb for all these users. Everything seems to be working / set up fine but

Hi! I have to migrate a samba domain to an Active Directory and therefore I need as first step to have a NT4.0 BDC in my network. As I don't find an useful answer via google I want to ask you if a NT4 BDC will work in a Samba PDC enviroment? regards Martin

Hi, I've got an NT4.0 domain that I'm planning to upgrade to Active Directory. I've got a couple of Samba member servers in the domain, various versions above 3.0. So I have two questions: 1. Are there any gotchas with this scenario or will the Samba clients just keep working as NT4-esque clients. 2. Is it possible to "upgrade" a Samba member server to be an Active
