Well I'm having some trouble with samba, I had those troubles on a box for quite some time and not long ago I moved all the stuff to a new box to see if it'll work better but it doesn't. I'm monitoring one person in particular because she's the one who do most of the editing stuff in there. What happens is when she opens a document (.doc or .xls most of the time), when she

Guys, I think the answer to my question is to upgrade samba. However, since this is my production machine, I thought I would try and understand the problems I'm having a little better to insure that an upgrade will correct my issues. My setup - Mandrake 7.2, samba 2.09. Win98, ME and XP clients. The 98 and ME machines have no problems. The XP machine has some intermittent slowness

Hello! Whenenver I try to save a downloaded file with Opera [6.x] to a Samba share [2.2.x], Opera (and also the windows-explorer) freezes. Having set log-level to 1, I get the following message after a while. Sometimes, but not always, Opera continues working after 30seconds or so. I have the same behaviour in Samba 2.2.2, 2.2.3a and 2.2.4-pre. My Server is running SuSE 7.3 with the 2.4.16

Can any one help me ? This has been bugging me for ages. I have been using different versions of samba for a while on different versions of Redhat (7.0, 7.2, 7.3). I regularly get erratic freezing (for about a minute) whenever I right click on files. This has happened on different computers on different sites on different networks, so I assume it's quite consistent This is what I get when

I'm using samba and cups to allow NT/2k machines to print to an HP LaserJet 4000N printer. The printer works fine except for one in house program. In this one program, all the horizontal lines that should be printed are missing. Originally I thought this was a driver problem, but today, for no apparent reason, it started printing the horizontal lines... but only for the first page of each

Hello, all. I'm using Samba 2.2.2 at my FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE server, and have next problems: There is pool of W2K machines, each starting compilation job (usually 2 at one dual CPU machine). Then these jobs trying to simultaneously access sources, located at Samba server, appear problems. Then I running 2 compilation threads from single machine - there is no problems. For jobs error seems

Hi folks I hope someone might be able to shed some light on a problem that I am experiencing with a Samba server. I installed this server about 2 and a half years ago on a client's site. The server has been running fine. We are now experiencing two problems which according to the client occured overnight. The first problem started about a week and a half ago when they found that when trying

Apologies if this is well hashed-over, but I searched pretty dilligently on the web and mailing list archive and couldn't find the answer. I even stumped my resident samba guru (hi Sean). Server is Red Hat 7.3. Tried with both the Red Hat 7.3 rpm just recompiled --with-ldapsam as well as the samba.org src.rpm also recompiled with --with-ldapsam. Things work for the most part, people are

Hi! I've been using samba for some time now with about 20 users and with remote installation of Windows XP from dos (TFTPboot image with dos network drivers - ms client 1.6c). On all releases (up to, and including 2.2.5) a recursive xcopy (from dos) copied all files normally. When I upgraded to samba 2.2.6, the recursive xcopy (win98 version of xcopy.exe, copying from a mapped drive)

Hi, we have a strange samba locking problem with version 3.0. Sometimes user only get a read only access to files. This happens with different users on different clients. Unix permissions are OK.

Dear Samba users, I've had a problem recently with Samba (2.2.3a, and now 2.2.5) on my OpenBSD 3.1-stable Installation.

We are running samba 2.2.3a ( for about 3000 users ) on HP/UX 11.11 fileservers. Our customers are complaining about slow response on the opening/closing of files in office/excel etc. In the samba log file we see the following messages : [2002/10/29 09:03:27, 0] ../source/smbd/oplock.c:(761) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file My

There seems to be a few people having this problem, but not much response. I've dug into the logs, and while I don't know exactly what I am looking at, I think I may have found something that may make sense to someone. A short recap. Samba was working fine, until I did a Debian security update, which upgraded my Samba to 2.2.8a. Now, I can create files on a mounted Samba share in a

Hello, last friday I switched my users from an old server running 2.2.12 to a new one running 3.0.10 (that I've been testing myself and with smbtorture). After a while I had to switch back to the old server because some users were having serious problems. This is one of the logs (the others are very similar): [2005/03/04 12:25:05, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)

Hi, Thought I posted this already two weeks ago. Haven't seen any reactions yet, so I post it again We got the following problem here: Every now and then, users are unable to save Word or Excel documents on our Samba server. We already tried a couple of things: disabling oplocks, increasing oplock break wait time, putting the documents on a new share, ... but to no success so far. The

Hi all, We are considering moving our VSS database from a Win2K server to a samba server. All clients are Win2K clients. I used the VSS tool "testlock.exe" to make sure the native lock mode can be used. The test was successful, and I saw that an SMBlock transaction was performed, and a reply_lockingX was replied. When I opened a VSS database on the samba server and started to use it -
