Hello. I have a DOS application which works with database files. The problem is, that Samba doesn't "unlock" the files when DOS app finishes its work. So files stay locked: 27690 DENY_NONE 0x3 RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /home/samba/FAK/P_RACI03.DBT Fri May 9 13:27:09 2003 27741 DENY_NONE 0x3 RDWR NONE /home/samba/FAK/MATPOD03.DBF Fri May

Hi. I have 2 questions: 1. Is it possible to specify mutiple "wins servers" in smb.conf file? man smb.conf doesn't say that, so I don't know. If it is possible how do I do it? "wins server = IP_1, IP_2"? 2. man smb.conf says "password server" must be a NetBIOS name. I have IP addresses specified and it works OK anyway. How come? Thank you in advance, --

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible not to have Samba users as UNIX systems users (at least without system passwords!), if I use MySQL backend with Samba 3.0.2b? Also, is there any good documentation about Samba and MySQL cooperation besides Samba HOWTO? My goal is to use same MySQL database (same users table!) for Samba authentication, Postfix, Courier-IMAP and ProFTPd. Thank you.

Can someone tell me where to find what error messages mean or enlighten me as to what smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL means ? Many thanks Ian

... By my mistake a 2.2.8a-1 running on RH8 was exposed to the Internet. It was cracked in a matter of hours. I noticed it because they've deleted my smbd. :-| I'm ready to reinstall the machine, if there are any logs that anybody is interested into please say it now.

Hi. I have this problem when trying to compile Samba with MySQL passdb backend: Linking bin/smbcquotas Linking bin/smbmount Linking bin/wbinfo Compiling dynconfig.c with -fPIC Linking nsswitch/libnss_wins.so Linking libsmbclient non-shared library bin/libsmbclient.a Linking libsmbclient shared library bin/libsmbclient.so Compiling passdb/pdb_mysql.c with -fPIC passdb/pdb_mysql.c:21:25:

Thanks for the reply. I was checking this with several IT professionals and the consensus was that it should never be exposed over the internet (even SMB3.0) and they all recommended to use it over SSH or VPN. A couple of people said there are more security professionals venting/using/supporting SSH which is why they recommend using that. I was just wondering, would this just be the leftover

Hello, I've been trying to get a solution (or at least an explanation) from the FreeBSD guys at freebsd-questions lists, but I guess no one knew the answer. I am trying to run Samba 3 (latest) in a FreeBSD 7.0 jail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Jail). It seems I cannot convince Samba to answer NetBIOS broadcast requests and therefore Windows machines cannot browse it directly by name

Upgraded to Samba 3.5.6 from 3.5.2. Samba is running as a standalone server on a box that was upgraded from Slackware 13.1 to Slackware 13.37. All Win XP Pro and Win 7 Pro clients can connect to the workgroup and browse shares and folders exactly as before; however, many complain of intermittent pauses, slowdowns and "Not Responding" messages when traversing directories. The samba server

Hello On my network there is no domain master browser, and my nmbd is spamming my /var/log/messages file with messages that it cound not find one. Can I configure nmbd not to look for the domain master browser ? Thank you, Timothy Madden

Hi All, Firstly, I know this is a MacOS X issue and not sure if you guys can help, but I'm really hoping you can since I don't appear to be getting any joy elsewhere. Running OSX 10.5.4 and recently (last week) nmbd is hogging the CPU. I know this is a part of the Samba server on OSX, hence the post to this mail-list. When I disconnect from the network, nmbd goes away and doesn't

Hi Rowland > Possibly a firewall problem, temporarily turn off the firewall on the win7 > laptop that cannot see your rpi, if this works, you know where to look. Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled Kaspersky Internet Security Firewall and Windows Firewall but still can't see the rpi. I can, however, see the other Windows laptops (with firewall on or off). Any other thoughts

Hi All, Perhaps you guys can help me shed some light on this 'problem' I'm facing. I recently added another NIC to my samba server. eth0(10.0.0.251) and eth1(valid dhcp address) ETH0 was added to connect to another PC that acts as the backup server. (dedicated connection) Now, Samba won't come back up.. I can still ssh into the server and all. Any ideas? I know that the wins

Hello there, From digging the archive - it looks as if this was discussed here earlier however I could not find a decent solution to my problem. The problem is that I keep seeing the following errors on my nmbd.log: [2003/01/30 09:34:34, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(358) find_domain_master_name_query_fail: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name

Hello, Thanks for all the help so far. I've got nmbd and smbd so they're running now, not being blocked out by my firewall however nmbd is still unable to sync browse lists with my domain master browser, which i don't have as i'm in a workgroup and i'd like samba to be the master browser. I have enabled wins support see smb.conf below. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I just installed samba 2.2.3a on my FreeBSD 4.4 box and am trying to connect to it using my win2ksp2 machine. I've got it set up to be the local master browser in my workgroup for my internal network. However it's not working. I checked the logs and in log.nmbd it's trying to bind to a domain master browser for the browse lists, which i obviously don't have. Is this a new
