We have the occasional problem that file locks are not always being released. The result is files that insist on being 'read only' (claiming that the file is already 'in use') or that cannot be deleted or replaced. The problem only happens occasionally, and I have yet to be able to determine a pattern. The problem will usuall resolve itself within 24 hours, but sometimes it is

Is there any way of sending a set of keystrokes to a window, from a command line function. Eg. $ wine "c:\MyApplication.exe" &> logfile.log & $ send.key.shell/perl.script where send.key.shell/perl.scrip will send keystorkes to the wine program depending on the results of the log file. Cheers, Rasjid.

I mount a WinNT share using a samba client version 2.2.5: smbmount -t smbfs -o username=user //ntserver/share /logs Then I want to watch a log generated by Internet Information Server (IIS) that grows continually: tail -f /logs/zzz.txt I can see the last lines in file zzz.txt the first time, but I don't get the new lines that are appended in such file. From any windows station I have

Hello, i'm trying to configure a host SCSI device (tape drive) so that it is available in a KVM guest VM, but am receiving an error when attempting to attach the device. My guest xml has the following scsi controller defined: <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'> <alias name='scsi0'/> <address type='pci'

A quick follow-up in case anyone else is trying to use IBM tape device within a KVM guest. I didn't get SCSI passthrough below working, but there were two alternatives recommended to me: (1) Use PCI passthrough to give the KVM guest dedicated access to the Fibre Channel HBA PCI card. PCI passthrough seems to be more solid. (2) Use ISCSI to share the tape devices and tape changer

Hello, I have problems setting up a canon multifunction ir7200. When I print the windows test page, I have something like "smiley" "arrow" "arow" "smiley" "arrow" name_of_the_samba_spool "smileys" driver.dll etc,etc,etc, on a single line. Did somebody used such a multifunction with Samba ? Below is a (long) description of what I did. I

Quite some time ago (March 98), Gordon Chaffee did a patch to port ssh 1.2.14 to windows. (See http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/patches/patch-ssh-1.2.14). Has anything along these lines been attempted since, with a more recent version of the openssh client? Cheers, Rasjid. -- Rasjid Wilcox Canberra, Australia (UTC +10 hrs) http://www.openminddev.net

Hi Jerry et al, will the 2.2.6 release show the printers in the 'add-new-printer-wizzard' on the client like the WINDOWS server do ? I'm not sure if you know what I mean, so here is a little illustration: ----------------------------- | NTSERVER | | \\ntserver\printer1 | | \\ntserver\printer2 | | \\ntserver\printer3 | | SAMBASERVER |

Hello, I have tried to find that info, but couldn't yet find it in TOSHARG or "Samba-3 By Example" : A client has one NT-PDC running without WINS-service and a Samba-Domain-Member-Server that is currently the WINS-Server.

We are having a problem printing from a Sun machine to NT using Samba. The NT admins would like us to use an account other than the Guest account for printing so that they can disable the Guest account. The printer scripts have been changed to add the -U UNIXPRT option, but no matter what syntax we try to use, the -U option is ignored and the connection is made via the Guest account. I have

Hello, I want to migrate from an old NT4 PDC to a Samba version 3.0.26a.

Hello, I have apache web server running on unix system. Then we have lots of users who only have accounts on our NT-domain. I'd like to do user&group authentications from our NT-domain using samba/SMBlib to do the actual authentication. Now does anyone know if there are already such systems available? What I'd like to do: 1) User connects to web page http://web/xyz. 2) He/she gets

I'm getting samba setup, and it seems to be working. I have PDC/BackupPDC issues to resolve, and want to change things so the NT PDC authenticates users instead of setting them up using smbpasswd. Right now, I can access the samba box from Win98 and WinNT workstation with "manually setup" smbpasswd's. I have been testing performance and am a little disappointed, I hoped samba

I'm working on the first of a few Samba machines for our network. It's running RedHat 6.2 and Samba 2.0.7. On the NT 4.0 side of things I can see the machine (with the correct name) if I do NET VIEW or look in the Network Neighborhood. However, when I do "NET VIEW \\SambaServer" I get an Error 5 Access Denied. (Test 8) So I started on the diagnosis and got to Item 5. When I

Hi. My goal is to use rsync to syncronize box1 and box2. On box2, I have a tapedrive which I write the data I syncronize from box1 every night.

Hi, this is a new user who is trying to reach the local network, managed by a windows NT server. I have edited my smb.conf file (which I include) so to be able to reach the network drives and the printers on the ntserver locally. When I try to see what is available using smbclient at the prompt, I cannot see which are the Services available (sharename fields empty), but I do see a lot of things

Hi, I'm using Samba 2.2.4 and I'm trying to connect via domain level security, but I'm having problems which I think are due to the fact that the NT domain contains an ampersand. (I know this is bad, but I inherited it...) I can add the samba server to the domain with the command: smbpasswd -j MFP\&MFA -r NTSERVER -Uadministrator (backslash escapes the & in this

hi all, I have a linux box running redhat 8.0 with samba 2.2.7 into a ms network I would like to control the access to the shared files, so only allowed groups of users can modify/create files I use 'force group' option to ensure that created files has the same owner group so all users of that group can modify these files (but not others users not belonging to that group) my
