Is it possible to share a cdrom via Samba? I can share the /mnt/cdrom directory and see it from the PCs, but how does one take care of the mount/umount commands that are needed? Jason

Running system: SuSE 7.2 (kernel 2.2.4) & samba-3.0.0beta1. There is coexisting Win(Millennium) system at the server (reason: many win partitions MUST be directly available at the central unit under windows after rebooting to windows). People connect their laptops (with small HD and Win2k SP2) to central unit and samba offers shares with Linux accounts. However, there are many win

Hi, I'm building "cheap" print servers using old Pentium 133 (150, 200 or 233) with 32 (or 64) MB of RAM memory. Small HDs (2.1, 3.5, 4.2) GB and using Debian Sarge (3.1), with kernel 2.6, CUPS and Samba 3.0.10. The print part is ok, works fine and it is just information to the background. Now our IT team decided to put a CD and make the "cheap" print servers became

Hi, after updating our printserver from Samba V2.0.6 to V2.2.7 I encountered the following problem. Samba does not execute the (root) pre- and postexec within the printers section. If you are using these command in another section everything works fine. Does anybody know if these command are not supported in the printers section anymore? smb.conf: [global] ... load printers = yes lpq cache

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello world, I've dug through the docs and googled through the net, but I'm still unable to fix my Samba (2.2.3a-6 for Debian) setup so that I can print from my wife's Windows XP laptop. The server is using Cups and I can print from the server and over the net from my (Debian) laptop. The XP box can connect to the server and browse

I have two Samba servers configure similarly. One shares fine across our entire network and the other only works within its own segment. I have poured over the smb.conf files and cannot see what it preventing the one from crossing segments. These both are Debian 2.2 boxes and I am just modifying the default smb.conf files. I am hoping a fresh pair of eyes will help. Any help would be greatly

smbclient reports there is a sharename 'l' that points to /usr/local/Documents on the host, but there is no reference to it in the smb.conf file. I have puzzled over this for days - I must have missed something obvious. Here is the output from smbclient, followed by the smb.conf file with all the comments removed. napoleon 526 ~ $ smbclient -L localhost Enter mike's password:

I am looking to setup a domain server. I have tried and tried and this is the closest I have gotten so far. The main problem I have is in the user authentication. I am getting an error that the user or password is wrong. Currently it looks like Samba can not access the passwd file. What is this file? My log for the client give this error: [2003/06/05 15:35:35, 0]

Could someone precisely state what is necessary to add to smb.conf file in order to have CUPS printing working from Windows clients? My setup is: Samba 2.2.0alpha3 and CUPS 1.1.6, CUPS is working fine from Linux machine, but now I'd like to have it working from Windows clients that have Linux machine as PDC. The documentation is rather confusing, CUPS manual is stating that line:

I apologize if this is a really silly question but I've been messing with this for awhile now and cannot see any typos that would prevent these shares from showing up. I'm trying two things I've never done before so I want to make sure to point them out: 1) I am using groups in the "valid users" section 2) I am using preexec and postexec on each share Example: [Media]

I am trying to share a CD-RW from the samba server (SuSE Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.10) using Samba that came with the distribution. I am using user level sharing and have successfully shared out disk shares with both r and rw access. I can also access the CD-ROM and CD-RW in read mode and even do an installation from the CD-ROM to a client. When I try to create a CD using CD-RW, I get the following

I've had a go at running Samba on SuSE 8.1 and connecting from a Win95 machine. I got this going in SuSE 6.3 but I'm having problems with this. It will be something simple.

Team: I have a Linux Server running Debian Testing (2.4.18 kernel) and Samba 2.2.3a-12.1 It's been running GREAT. This is a marvelous product. I have a minor issue, though. 2 of the 14 Win2K (all at SP3 and fully "Windows Updated") will "disconnect" the shares on the Samba server after only a few seconds of inactivity. This isn't typically a problem, except that

Hello, When a user is defined in admin users, Samba will always do file operations for this user as root. In my case when these users creates a new file or directory root i defined as owner of the new files as well. When only accessing the files through windows, this isn't usually a problem, but once using linux again, this is a bit annoying.. Is it supposed to be this way? Is there any
