I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

I am running RedHat8, samba 2.2.7 The mailing list archives seem to pin the 2gb problem on several unrelated issues (all of which i explored). The machines in question have no problems creating 2+gb files locally and via NFS.

I am trying to move our network from windows NT-2k to Samba /Linux. So far everything is great but there is one main obstacle; when I apply permissions to a Samba share via my W2K workstation, the permissions instantly disappear. This happens regardless of the owner / creator of file or the user / group permission I attempt to add. I have run 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and now 3.0 beta3. All three behave

I had originally written about this problem last month (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-November/085418.html) Since then, our company has added another Windows Fileserver which I'm trying to back up, and they are both having the problem. Because it happens on both servers, this leads me to believe it really is a problem with my Samba server. I've upgraded to 2.2.7a, as the

Hi All, I've tried everything I can think of, and spent many many hours trying to get this Sun Solaris 8 machine to authenticate with a Linux 7.1 machine acting as the PDC. In summary: Both machines are running 2.2.3a compiled from source without additional arguments (just ran configure on each platform) No problems with Win95, Win98, WinNT authenticating with the Linux PDC. The Sun machine

if i have a host with a particular ip address running as a domain master browser and registered as such with my wins server, and then i change the ip address of this host, does the old registration with the wins server eventually go away so that the new ip address can be registered? if so, how long should this take? how would one force the old ip address to be forgotten? -- Todd Pfaff

Hi all, 'Using Samba' (and it's companion 'Pocket Reference') both say that the default for the 'writable' option in smb.conf is 'YES'. But, http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html says the default is 'no'. Which is right? Mac Assistant Systems Adminstrator @nibsc.ac.uk

Hi, I'm the developer of KSambaPlugin. Is there a way to find out if samba was compiled with SSL / LDAP support or not ? I want to disable the options in the case that samba doesn't support them. Thanks, Jan Sch?fer

Hi! I'm on a conquest to get Samba 3.0 to authenticate against an Active Directory. For this, I need to have Kerberos working. However, I don't know the name of our Kerberos server. If I've got a Windows machine which is part of the Active Directory, can I somehow get it to tell me the name of the Kerberos server? Or could I use a packet sniffer to get the name of the server?

Hi, I've recently upgraded a few of the win98 machines here to win2kpro, and now, after logging in, the password has to be entered again for the shares.

Can anybody help with this issue: My question regarding SAMBA is: we use the file sharing capability from a Windows workstation to a UNIX machine. When we copy files from the workstation to the UNIX box, UNIX places an end of line character in the file that we don't want there. Is there a way to avoid this (a way to tell SAMBA to do a straight ASCII copy)? We don't have this problem when
