Hi all, This is my first try on Samba as a PDC. I have managed to setup Samba as a PDC for my home network. The Win98 pc connects and validates no probs, but not the Win XP pc. The acc on the linux system has been created and is fine as well as the samba passwd's. The XP pc is 'changed' onto the domain with no errors, with the user name that will be used by the user to log on the

Hiya, i have had a HTTP directory tree shared out via SMB on my HTTP development server for a few years with no trouble. recently however various files have started becoming read-only as far as my Win2k machine is concerned. upon ssh-ing into the tree in question i find all the permissions are fairly open and i cannot see why i should have any problem at all. i was wondering if this might have

Good day, I'm having a few problems with Samba 3.0.2a, specifically involving the username character substitute, %u. For some reason, Samba resolves the %u character wrongly when used in the "path" parameter, where it resolves it as the guest account. However, the server in question has "map to guest" set to never and both "guest ok" and "guest only"

hi all, i know a whole lot more about MS windows networking than i did this morning (but it still feels like i don't know much). the linux samba server is a local, master and preferred browse master. it's also a WINS server. linux's IP address is 192.168.0.2. the win2k machine is 192.168.0.4. the goal is to browse linux's filesystem from win2k's "computers near

Hi. I got this email-address from BUGS.txt file of the samba distribution. I read it carefully. I got configured and working samba, I work with samba above one year. I still have a problem, and, according to the samba log output, I think it's probably a bug. When I try to use the shares with audit support, I have my Far disconnected and telling me that something is wrong. I have that

Hello list! Are there any known issues regarding samba3 - linux 2.6 kernels? I'm getting disconnects every 20 seconds or so, both via cifs and smbfs mounts. This occurs regardless of whether the connection is in use and sometimes leads to I/O errors (even doing 'ls' on a mounted dir). It is not consistent though, and seems to be triggered by high network traffic. When it is

logins Reply-To: I've sourced the groups, but haven't had any success with solving this problem. Here are the details: I have a debian/testing system running samba 3.0.0beta2-1. It was working fine with the 2.x series, until I upgraded to 3.0. The debian server (al) is a PDC for a small NT domain (isabela) with three workstations, all running win2k pro. All but one work fine

Howdy. I'm running samba-3.0.2-2 (from the binaries on samba.org) on a RedHat 9 box with kernel 2.4.20-28.9. I can access shares from my Windows XP Home box, but the performance isn't very good. When I looked into this, I discovered that apparently the connections are getting dropped, over and over again, which causes a lot more work, I'm sure. Here's a snippet from my main

Hi I've got a samba PDC (samba 2.2.3a, RH 7.2, kernel 2.4.17, client is WinXP pro). I have a question about the homedrives-part in smb.conf. Are the homedrive shares set up to allow access exclusively to the appropriate user and no-one else ? My smb.conf looks like that [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664

I have been fighting this problem for months now. My performance under Samba and XP has ben umbearable. The scenario is running Samba 2.2.7a under SuSE 8.0 as a PDC. The XP machine logs onto Samba and the roaming profiles are downloaded then stops for 15 minutes or so. The network is verified 100Meg full-duplex, FTP transfers between the machines are robust and so no problems in connectivity. Any

Hi all, I have kubuntu running samba as a file server, I have my wifes kubuntu machine as a cllient and my works XP machine as a client. All is well and has worked great for some time. I decided to add a samba printer for XP. I modified smb.conf, I can now see the printer on XP, I installed the printer driver 'have disk' all AOK then I get a message from XP in what looks like a

Issue: Three WinXP Pro boxes using Offline Files disconnect from all Samba shares when a user either performs a synch or accesses a file on the share with offline files enabled. About half the time, being able to reconnect for any length of time requires a reboot of the WinXP machines. Disabling the Offline Files in Windows alleviates the problem. Background and Network

Hi everybody! I've problems with Samba and Win98 clients. Everytime I try to copy some files from a Win98 machine to the server, the progress bar freezes after a while and then after a minute or so I get an error message that the 'network ressource isn't available'. The server runs Samba version 2.0.7-3 and the OS is Debian Linux 2.2 r3 (Potato). And this is what error.log says:

I've been unhappy for some time with the weak checking of service self-consistency in .../source/param/loadparm.c's "service_ok" function. Here's my initial draft of a better one, in diff format.

Hi All Folks. I encountered following problem WinXP can't connect Samba_Server but Samba_Server can connect WinXP for files sharing WinXP box and Samba_Server are connected directly via a crossover cable as experiment.

I've recently set up an Openfiler 2.2 system, with a few disks under md (RAID6), LVM on top of that, and formatted ext3. When snapshots are in use, large file transfers (transfers of large files, or transfers of many smaller ones) are disconnected - Leaving a Windows 2000 client with an error like 'The network resource is no longer available'. Re-trying works, but cuts out again

It seems that my smbd process got fuxed somehow. It appears to have take up all the file handles, and there were over 130 smbd processes running on the system. I'm not entirely sure what happened. My first thought is that something bad happened between the server and the Windows client that's running Kaza (with a couple hundred mid-download files) and it just spiraled out of control,
