similar to: Winbind memory leak

I'm running Samba 2.2.3a on NetBSD. I've been having an annoying problem with winbindd dying inexplicably. I finally found a test that seems to (eventually) kill it: while wbinfo -t > /dev/null; do /usr/bin/true; done The problem is a memory leak in winbindd. Actually, wbinfo -t will still work, but wbinfo -u doesn't (response.extra_data is always null). Is this a known

Just tried the latest cvs samba_2_2 (trying to avoid the winbind memory leak thing). It configured, compiled and installed fine, but when it came up there was an issue. When my Windows users (Win98 ad Win2K) went into explorer, they could see no names on the folders in samba shares, just blank folders. I quickly put it back to the older 2.2.2 configuration and everyone is back to normal. Was

Hi, I have a very odd problem which perhaps is not related to Samba but to be sure... I have a RH6.2 2.2.20 ACLs Samba server 2.2.2 and everything is/was running fine partaking in a Windows 2000 domain. I needed to reboot the server. It has come up and I am getting "input/output errors" all over the logs when I try and access any of the shares on the raid array from a Windows client

Hello, I am trying to get the archive bit to behave under Samba 2.2.2 on a Linux box (Slackware 8.0) serving NT and Win2K clients. I have "map archive = yes" and "dos filemode = yes". If I have "force create mode = 0100", creating new files sets the archive bit (good) and "attrib +a filename" will turn on the archive bit if it was off (good) but

Hi, I have RH6.2 with kernel 2.4.1smp, create file 2GB on the ext2fs not problem, but copy datafile>2GB over smb not function:( , where is mistake ? thank you jirka

Hello, I am currently integrating 20 workstations and 5 Servers (all Dell Products) running Red Hat 7.2 (2.4.7-10) into a Windows 2000 / NT Enterprise network of about 2,000 users. I have been using a Samba server (version 2.2.1) with "security=domain" so that any user with a W2K domain logon can access the Samba file server. However, I want to move into full integration and set up all

Using 2.2.1a and a 2.4 kernel patched for win4lin. Everything is working but: I mount all the available network shares on my linux box as root to one network directory. If a windows client shuts down while the linux box is still connected, the share is not removed from my mount list or from /proc/mounts It cannot be removed with umount. I can kill the smbmount with kill -15 but the share is still

I Setup a Printer in Samba 2.2.1a Win2k machine see it fine prints to fine but I always get the status message Unable to connect, access denied. I have it set to share added account pcguest everything I can to let anyone print to that printer what am I doing wrong? I also setup a shared folder same permissions (Everyone and their grandmother) and it always asks me for a user name and password I

I thought I had read a response to this. Went something like this: Word (and lots of others such apps) do not actually deal with the original file. They create a temporary file which overwrites the original when you save the new document. The 'new' file of course inherits the new editor's ownership. Hope this helps you.

Hi Alexander, Not sure if this of any help, but we had a similar problem with runaway SMBDs and what seemed to be oplocks. We are running RH6.2 with 0.7.26 ACLs. After much messing around and hassling Jeremy, I eventually changed the kernel from 2.2.19 to 2.2.20 and recompiled everything from scratch. Since then we have not had one of these rogue processes. I think Jeremy was right when he

I am running 2.2.6 on a customer's site and everything has been perfect. However I noticed the other day that one of the two nmbd processes (it is a wins server) had grown to 13Mb over a two week period. I needed to update to the latest CVS version anyway and had hoped that something in that might fix things. Five days later and things are looking the same: nmbd started on Nov 9th: root

I can't find the thread but someone last week was having trouble with 'getent passwd' not returning the Windows domain users as well as the local users. 'wbinfo -u' worked but not 'getent passwd'. I just finished a new server and had the same problem. Turns out I overlooked the the symbolic links in /lib. The file libnss_winbind.so needs to have a link to

Thank you for your reply. Below are the entries for winbind I have in my smb.conf. Do you see any problems with them? # separate domain and username with '+', like DOMAIN+username winbind separator = + # use uids from 10000 to 20000 for domain users winbind uid = 10000-20000 # user gids from 10000 to 20000 for domain groups winbind gid = 10000-20000 # allow enumeration of winbind users

Hello, I am running Samba 2.2.2 with acl-0.7.16 on RedHat 6.2 (2.2.19). The PDC is a Windows 2000 Server and the Samba server is a domain member using Winbind. All the workstations are Windoze 2000 Pro with SP2. Everything seemingly works fine but every day or two I get a runaway SMBD process which hogs the CPU and becomes unkillable. The only resolution is to reboot the server completely.

Hi I am a newbie to samba after taking over from a previous administrator. I have upgraded to the version that ships with SuSE linux 8.0 and copied over the old smb.config and smbpasswd files. I can see the shares from a remote SWAT connection and also using the interactive method via a DOS window, but cannot get the shares to be seen via Network Neighbourhood. I am thinking that this may be

Hi there! I have a Samba 2.2.2 PDC on linux 2.4.13 with ACL (acl.bestbits.at) support installed. There seems to be a problem with Roaming Profiles. Win2k with local NTFS filesystem will never delete roaming profiles (yes, I have regedited the DeleteRoamingCache to 1). In fact, any time TheUser logs back in, a new folder named TheUser.OURDOMAIN.??? (where ? is an integer) will be created,

Running Samba 2.2.6 on RedHat 7.2 in a Microsoft NT4 Domain, trying to create or copy a text file to a share from a MS Windows 2000 Professional workstation (client2k) gives 'Access denied' Reading the log file (level 3) for samba.client2k (not an activity I feel much comfort in doing correctly) it looks like I am being recognized as a 'guest user' which is a problem but for

Please specify the Samba version you are running - winbindd in 2.2.2 had a *big* memory leak which would certainly eat all your memory over three days on a moderately busy server. The more work winbindd does the more memory it chews - which might explain the end of day incidents. Try using 'M' in Top to get an idea of who is eating the memory. Noel There is no indication in TOP as to

Jeremy, Bit of bad news - we had a another runaway SMBD. This time profiles were NOT involved - I was simply copying up an installation of Office2000 and then deleting it. It almost reached the end of the deletion when the processor utilisation went up to 90%. The client connection then dropped with a 'connection is no longer available' and there is now 99% processor utilisation on the

Hi, I have been noticing some serious load averages occurring when users are browsing or using directories with a large number of files. A case in point is our Sage users. Sage is a nasty program and spits out three small files into a spool directory every time something is printed and does not clear them out. This means that the spool directories rapidly fill with tiny files and by the end of
