Hi Folks, I've been using linux for the past 4 years. I'm currently running RH 6.2 and samba 2.0.6. My goal has been to eliminate MS from my computer and I'm almost there. I'm trying to use samba to allow printing to my printer from other W95 & W98 computers. I've read the HOWTOs and generated the smb.conf file which is at the end of this message. I used the [test]

Hello I'm a biginner on samba and mailinglists. But I desperate need same help. After updating my samba 2.2.1a to 2.2.2 I can't logon to the domain again. The log.nmdb gives out this information: [2001/11/02 01:22:28, 0] nmbd/asyncdns.c:start_async_dns(150) started asyncdns process 184 [2001/11/02 01:22:28, 0] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_in(820) bind failed on port 137

Hi all, I've recently started using rsync, and would like to know if there is any way for it to realise that similarly named files are the same. e.g. sendmail-8.12.2-i386-1.tgz and sendmail-8.12.2-i386-2.tgz (the second one being an update on the first and replaces it, but it is going to be very similar) I had a quick search on google, and found a few articles, namely :

Hello, I just installed samba 2.2.3a on my FreeBSD 4.4 box and am trying to connect to it using my win2ksp2 machine. I've got it set up to be the local master browser in my workgroup for my internal network. However it's not working. I checked the logs and in log.nmbd it's trying to bind to a domain master browser for the browse lists, which i obviously don't have. Is this a new

hello everyone. I don't have a network, but I'm trying to get my friend to dialin and use my shares that I have provided via smb. Now I have a big prob with nmbd and ppp. Under Interfaces I can specify ppp* 192.168.0.2 , which is the ip that the dialin user is assigned and yet still nmbd shuts down showing an error that no interfaces were found. # route -n Kernel IP routing

Hi, when starting samba it logs the following text to /var/log/messages, although I have added syslog only = no and syslog = 1. Samba's log file is /var/log/samba... How can I disable logging to syslog? Thanks!

Hi! Yesterday, after migrating to a new server, I accidentally started an identically configured smbd and nmbd on the old machine. Since then, there are two netbios entries, even though the first host (192.168.60.5) is down since yesterday: # nmblookup -U localhost -R 'SAMBA' querying SAMBA on 127.0.0.1 192.168.60.5 SAMBA<00> 192.168.60.3 SAMBA<00> I've already tried to

Hello all, I'm in the process of moving over my Samba server (using LDAP). I believe everything is functioning correctly, except for this error I get when nmbd starts. Looking back at my old server, it was apparently doing this as well... so it may not even affect needed functionality. Still, I'd like to figure out why it's happening! If anyone has an idea, please let me

Hello, Thanks for all the help so far. I've got nmbd and smbd so they're running now, not being blocked out by my firewall however nmbd is still unable to sync browse lists with my domain master browser, which i don't have as i'm in a workgroup and i'd like samba to be the master browser. I have enabled wins support see smb.conf below. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Sorry for my english I have a PDC with Samba and OpenLdap in Debian 5 lenny. I am testing group, users,policy, net join workstation.... bla bla bla. results very good.

Hi all, Today our domain went down. When looking in the log it appears that a windowsXPpro machine won the election. The domain controller has an OSlevel of 65 (3.0.14a). Restarting the smb process (/etc/init.d) resolved the problem. How is it possible that the XP machine was able to win the election ? After the election the XP machine (of course) failed to become the master browser. But why

My samba shares aren't working with ACL access since the upgrade. Here is an example of the error from /var/log/messages Dec 14 12:44:17 gfm-atlas smbd[14365]: [2006/12/14 12:44:17, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(911) Dec 14 12:44:17 gfm-atlas smbd[14365]: '/usr/GFM_Shares/Users/Receiving' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [GF_Receiving] Error was

Hi, I've installed a samba 3.0.10 (configured with --enable-cups, --withsmbmount, --with-acl-support) on a standard SUSE Linux 9.2-Distribution with Kernel 2.6.8-24.10-smp. The Samba-Server works as PDC since a month now and does it fine. But one big problem still exists: After about 10-20 hours after the start of smb+nmb the nmbd stops working. The symtoms are: No new users can login into

I have recently upgraded my Redhat 7.3 server to Fedora FC1 with all related updates. I also upgraded my samba version from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2a. It now seems that my nmbd daemon will not start & subsequently I cannot log in from any Windows client as the netbios server name PDC is not found I think. Before this problem started, I noticed that in order for my DNS ping requests from Windows clients

Hello All, I am having a problem trying to ger Samba wot work again. It was working a few days ago and now it has stopped. My OpenVPN is working just fine but Samba does not seem to find the names. I was also trying to set it up so that the users could browse to our PeoplesQuest workgroup after which they could login to their account. ----------------------------------------- [2005/08/21

My FC 2 server with Samba 3.0.10 had been working fine before I removed the second NIC I had installed. Since that time I have been unable to convince Samba that it is the domain master browser; it continues to find an existing master browser at the IP address for the now non-existent NIC. I have searched to remove all references to the old IP address from configuration files, but have found

I manage a Samba server that has been working nicely for a couple of months (after it replace the old Samba server which worked happily for years). We use LDAP for accounts, but don't use domain logons or anything fancy. All users have their home dir on Samba mapped to drive 'M:'. In their home, there are symbolic links to various directories they're entitled to access. Links

Dear colleagues, I?m trying to replace an NT 4.0 PDC with a Samba 3 RedHat Enterprise Server. Following some instructions on the web I get almost everything (users, groups) using the "net vampire" command. The shares are working and it seems to be working fine. The problem is when I shutdown the Windows PDC and promote the Samba Server to "domain master = yes" because the

Tried to upgrade our Samba 2.2.8a domain controller (Solaris 8) to Samba 3.0.2a. Compiled using gcc 3.3.2, linked to libiconv-1.8, popt-1.7 and cups-1.1.20. I shut down the Samba 2.2.8a. Removed everything in var/locks. Did a "make install" to install 3.0.2a, then restarted Samba. My smb.conf is basically the same as 2.2.8a with "domain admin group" removed. When I stared
