Instead, a shared directory is either visible to everyone I tried to realize this by using include like: #include smb.conf.%G But it did not work correctly.

As part of the effort towards Samba 3.0, a number of features have disappeared. This message is intended to gauge the reaction that would occur if Samba 3.0 was released with these features still absent. Users who need these features should indicate exactly how vital they feel they are, and (if possible) the effort they would be able to put into reimplementing/supporting/testing it if it was

People might find this entertaining and/or useful: http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf-2.52/html_chapter/autoconf_10.html With the help of Jos Backus I just discovered the answer to http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync-cvs/2002-January/001271.html is that Sun's test(1) is breathtakingly broken when passed a dangling symlink: $ ln -s /nowhere bad $ ls -l bad lrwxrwxrwx 1 josb

Slow connections login isnt too bad ... 4 sec. tops but its at least 10 seconds or more to access Samba shared Printers or Directories. this is a 10/100 network using Redhat 6.0 with Samba 2.0.5a ... everything works great Except for access times. for example Win9x --> NT its relatively Quick. Is this an Authorization Default that checks every access to Shared objects ? security is all

Hi! I m trying to install samba-2.0.6 on solaris 7. When i run configure script, it gives me an error checking configure summary ERROR: No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe configure: error: summary failure. Aborting config it also doesnot find "fcntl" What do u ppl suggest. What kind of locking is on my system. Thanks Regards Amer!

I really appreciate all your responses on this. I might not have fixed it by looking at samba logs but i noticed there was directory in user unix directory with wildcard * as folder name once i removed it, samba showed up all the files and directory. am not sure what would * as folder name caused this behaviour may be samba was trying to interpret * as something else not sure...... or it was

Hello, Did anyone do some work on improving the samba read/write performance? We've got a board attached with an IDE hadisk, running samba 2.0.7 on uClinux(NOMMU) OS, the IDE throughput: 10.5Mbps,ethernet speed: 16Mbps,Samba throughput(copy file from WINDOWS PC to host board ): 600KByte/s,CPU working at 120MHz, system SDRAM 16Mbyte. Could anyone help to figure out where the bottleneck is and

Anyone have any input on this one. I'm running Samba version 1.9.18p10 on an HP9000 HP_UX 10.20. An NT 4.0 server writes files to a UNIX directory and periodically a shell script runs to process any new files found. Occasionally a file isn't found for several hours after it has been created, then mysteriously appears in the UNIX directory. So far this hasn't been a major

Hi We are using smbclient to automatically (& remotely) monitor the sizes and ages of files. The file names contain spaces of course. Some files have attributes set. Now how do I separate between file attributes and the file name in the following directory listing? EXAMPLE: smb: ?> dir *file* second file is called AR 0 Fri Sep 15 12:37:54 2000 file name with

Hi there everyone, Again another slight thing I noticed since I upgraded to Samba 2.0.6 from 2.0.5a. I'm using RedHat Linux on a Celeron 400 with kernel 2.2.13. My socket options in smb.conf is set to "TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192". However I've started getting the following everytime I SIGHUP to reload the configs and stop-start:

Solaris samba 2.0.6 with largefile support running on ultra 10 with solaris 2.7 patch level 106541-07. Clients are win98 and win2000 importing a 10G share from the solaris machine. Using a small C program that writes 1M chunks to a file I can write a file as large as the partition will support. Using the system backup program to write a system backup to a file on the share the program dies with a

Hi all, SAMBA pre2.0.7 ./configure --with-quotas Linux 2.0.36 The old disk quota bug is still here. If user tries to write the file to SAMBA share and disk quota is exceeded, SAMBA fills remaining space within the target file with spaces, and writes it to the share. This is "xcopy" behavior. If the program writes small chunks of file, the result may differ. The user is under

A moderately-frequently asked question is "why do automounted directories in shares disappear?" The old answers were: 1) they timed out and auto-un-mounted, and 2) you shouldn't re-export NFS-imported stuff anyway. A new answer (0) was just suggested by a Sun techie: add a "browse" option to the automounter map entry, to make them appear even when they're not

Of course, having said that, the authentication errrors look as if the web server didn't have permission to read the files Samba provided. Do the Unix permissions on the files include read for
