similar to: Windows changes file ownership & ACL's - any solution?

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 When I highlight a printer icon in Win 2K, the Status bar shows Status: Access Denied, Unable to connect. It shows this for all samba printers. I can print a test page even though it shows access denied. Anyone know how to fix this? thanks.

Hi folks, we are experiencing a problem when AutoCAD 2000+ drawing files are saved on a Samba (2.0.8) file share. Regardless of what the file is 'saved as', the name is always converted to all capitals. e.g. Drawing1 becomes DRAWING1 Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Seems strange that it is only AutoCAD files, but I think it is Samba related, not AutoCAD,

I have experienced a couple of (minor) problems with Samba Thought I would report these and ask if they are known problems. 1. Problem with "!" in username map file 2. Samba tools e.g. smbstatus, testparm not accounting for "config file" parameter 1. There appears to be a problem with a minor part of username map file interpretation. When I put an exclamation mark

We are experiencing long delays when loading MX files stored on our samba fileserver. We are running version 2.2.7a of Samba on Solaris 8 servers. Using MX version 2.5 and higher on windows 2000 and XP workstations When the files are stored locally they load in a few seconds, whilst taking more than a minute to run from the Samba server. Our current workaround is to store the files locally,

Hi. samba 4.1.1.. User has unix rights for writing, but samba denies write access to him.

Sorry to have to repost this (didn't get any response on the first post), we really need some of the fixes of the new Samba but cannot go ahead without the support for the older machines. Need to prove that Samba is the great product that I believe it is. Hi folks - I am having printing problems with our older machines. Printing is working fine for our Windows NT, 2000 and XP clients.

Hi list, I have a weird problem. Im using samba 3.0.24 in ADS mode against a 2003 server. If I put admin users = @"KIC\Domain Users" I can connect with all users in that group. If I remove admin users and instead use valid users = @"KIC\Domain Users" I receive the following error Domain=[KIC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.24] tree connect failed:

Hi, could someone who is close to the Samba development make a comment about the automatic printer drivers features in Samba 2.2.5 I've been trying to get this working unsuccessfully, and have seen many messages posted from people having trouble with this feature. Not sure if this is an unnusual number of people with problems, but it seems like it ( I could be too close to the problem to see

Please lend me some expertise... Ok, I know suggesting a bug is a bit impolite, but I cannot find a solution for this and none of the helpful people who have responded have been able to help either... If I come off sounding a bit short it's just because I've tried many things to get these older clients printing. :-) Don't mean to annoy anyone. Appreciate any help! Have several

Could someone who is familiar with the book "Samba-3 HOWTO and reference guide and who is also familiar with printer setup please give me some advice... I am summarising the procedure for setting up a printer for automatic driver download which is described in chapter 17. There are a couple of processes mentioned that look very similar and I am wondering if both steps are required for

Did you change your "security" setting in your new Samba e.g. from "share" to "domain"? -----Original Message----- From: peter.a.bryant@mainroads.qld.gov.au [mailto:peter.a.bryant@mainroads.qld.gov.au] Sent: Friday, 14 March, 2003 7:00 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Cc: John H Terpstra Subject: Re: [Samba] Win95 & Win98 - NOT WORKING - NT,2000, XP are ok (reposted)

Thanks for the performance information John, I wasn't aware that optimising the conf could make such a difference. I guess my way of thinking - where I want to look at the original smb.conf file and have it nicely readable is a bit impractical, and maybe I will soon change that way of thinking, but I think it will help your work if you are aware of other peoples thought processes, (even if

I am using samba to share a directory that lives on an OpenBSD 3.1 box. The client is my linux box. I want to mount this directory so I can use my own tools on the linux box to edit the code. My problem is that there is a file "boucer" which is an executable and a "Bouncer" directory. I'm sure you can see my problem. I tried putting case sensitive = yes in the

Hi, nearly everything works well in Lotus Wordpro with wine. But I cannot launch both the dialogue editor and the LotusScript editor. Wordpro crashes and I see the following debug informations: Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000040 at address 0x14201ba5 (thread 0009), starting debugger... Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000040 in 32-bit code

I had a test machine up and running Samba, joining an AD domain, and set up with winbind... when I ran "getent passwd" it would list all the local users, and all the domain users. I could also log in as a domain user without any problem. So, I made an image of the hard drive, and copied it to 7 other machines. Now, those 7 are having a strange problem. I changed the names and IP's of

Hi, got a samba server which serves tons of printers. ok, 70. With some of them, driver installation from a win2k client works, with some it doesnt. printers are ALL configured the same in smb.conf: [(name in unix printing system)] comment = model of printer path = /tmp printable = yes browseable = yes for example: [ljwasat] comment = Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4000 N path =
