Hi -- Does anyone have any strong comments either positively or negatively about the new version 2.2.2 running on Solaris 2.7 or 2.6? I have been running version 2.2.1 since August and have been having some really unusual behavior with random denial for some users from some machines at random times. Is there any evidence that 2.2.2 might help with this? --

Ok, after several months of pulling my hair out I finally fixed WINS and browsing at out Univesity. It ended up being an acutal bug, er bad code segment. To explain we have a large number of clients ~1000+ at any one time over 6 subnets. Browsing was spuratic at best. nmbd sucked up %70 of the proccessing power of a sparc 5. Well after serious investigation I traced it down to two lines of

Hello all, I'm currently trying out samba-3.0alpha24 and moving to samba-3.0.0beta1 since we're getting into XP and encrypted passwords etc. I was hoping to set everyone (about 13,000 users) up on an LDAP (openLDAP) server with just the Unix crypt passwords for now and run with encrypt passwords = no update encrypted = yes for a while to populate the NT/LM password hashes before

I need to use a samba server (linux redhat 6.0 ) from a diskless dos machine ( has a floppy drive for booting) . So i need a very little tcp-ip stack for dos and a client for a NT server on dos so that they will be small enough to be on a 1.44 system floppy. Is that possible ? Paul

Hi, I am using Samba 1.9.18. The server is running on Solaris 2.5.1 and the client is on Win NT 4.0 I am annoyed by the Control-M characters appearing in text files when the files are edited on Windows editors and viewed in vi on Sun machine. I had to manually remove the Control-M characters. Is there a way to eliminate the Control M characters ? Thanks Krishna

Just wondering if there is a way to get drive namings to change according to who's logged into the network. ie. 'bob' logs into windows networking and gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. Now if 'sue' logs into windows networking on the same pc she gets... E: 'bob' on server kiwi. But E: contains sue's stuff. So is there a way into making 'sue'

I keep getting "Windows cannot copy file \\ssp1\profiles ... to C:\Documents And Settings\..." when trying to log into a Samba PDC using a Windows 2000 SP2 client. Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? I am including my smb.conf file, below: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DC1 netbios name = SSP1 server string = Samba Server encrypt passwords = Yes update

I'm trying to figure out an intelligent way to install apps on the network server, and be able to install once and have all the clients use this. However, it seems like most installations modify the registry and seem to demand a client-by-client installation. Am I missing something on this? Can someone provide me some hints or references to help this? (And is anyone thinking about a SMS/ZEN

Hi all, We have a strange issue with printing tdb entries not clearing. From what I can tell, this may be an issue on Solaris (5.9) but not on Linux (2.4.18) - I have 3.0.8 (and since last night .9) on a linux server and a solaris one. I don't see the problem on print queues hosted on the linux box. The symptom is that you can print from both XP and 98 and the print job appears on the

I just went through upgrading from 2.0.7 on Redhat 7.0 using the binary RPM provided by samba.org and noticed a problem with the swat install. It seems that the swat binary in the RPM is built to look for it's supporting files in /usr/share/samba/swat whereas the RPM installs said files in /usr/share/swat. This results in the following error message when you try to access swat: 400 Server

Hi! We use Windows tftp-servers (so I dont think switching now would be an alternative). But I can try to suggest it. More specific, vendor id of the mac address, is what I want to be able to "choose" (if match) which bootmenu to display. Like all broadcom NICs we have would boot the undionly.kpxe "menu!! (I am having some trouble with broadcom (PCI fiber) and iPXE :) And the

When copying files to a Windows 10 client, an error is thrown if the file has extended attributes. In this case, the files were all created by an OS X client with netatalk. I'm using Samba from the Ubuntu 16.04 repository, which is currently 4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.11. In my smb.conf: # Netatalk configuration vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr fruit:encoding = native

Hi I have made myself a derivated menusystem based on the complex.c menu that cames with syslinux. And now I need to read a file, search for my pxebooted netcards mac address, and write some changes back to the same file. All the writing and reading I hopes will be of no trouble, but how can i find my own mac address? (and IP adress would be nice). I have searched the list, but I really cannot

Hi Thanx guys for the help on understanding howto read dmi info! I now have a custom boot menu for install of different linux versions based if they have been installed before (reinstall is ok for users, first install is not), and installquirks like if we detect odd hardware, we add install options to redhat installer so it can install anyhow (for instance hp dc7800 who needs pci=nommconf as

Hi all Has anyone tried running catia (R5V16) useing wine. I am unable to get the install of the program to start off in wine. I have tried 0.9.27, heard about an opengl issue and went to 0.9.29.
