I've got a situation where my webdesigners (win2k) are located on a different subnet (and location) than the samba server. I need a way of using a local (to the webdesigners) machine (linux) to use SSH and port forward to the remote samba server. How does one go about doing such a thing?

Hello, I have problem witch SWAT authorization for all users with the following error "username or password incorrect". With -a options SWAT works well. I've compiled samba-2.2.4 from sources on my RedHat Linux 6.1 with kernel 2.2.21. I've compiled it with the following options: ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --localstatedir=/var \

Hi all, I am attempting to get Sage to support their software if the files are on Samba (Linux). They (like a lot of people I've heard) say "We don't support Linux, Goodbye." even when the client is on Win98/NT. We have been having trouble on a particular site, and they refuse to support Sage Line 50 if the files are on Linux which is absurd, because Linux is much more

Hi, I have got a samba PDC and want to use user level security. To use this I need to get the list of users and groups from the PDC. On WinME this works fine, but Windows 98 cannot see this list (and I have many Windows 98 clients). Because it works on ME using the samba configuration I don't think it is a samba problem. What can I do to see the list of users? Thanks Stephan

OK! I'm sorry about this. As I wrote earlier I'm totally lost... but I will try to explain the problem in steps bellow, ok. 1. I installed the rpm's for samba, Version 2.0.2a-ssl I think this is the version distributed with redhat linux 7.0 2. Then I changed the parameters in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, and in this file I added the folowing parameters. [global] netbios name

Hi, (see my thread as of yesterday) after ethersniffing around a bit I found that the win2k client which succeeds in printer driver uploading to my samba server doesnt do spoolss requests at all... but rpcclient does, and fails. btw, if anyone just needs more input on that, how on earth should I know if nobody tells me? bye MH

Hi Folks: I am seeing excessively long logoff times on my Win2k clients - I am using Samba as a PDC. Excessively long == 6+ minutes. Network is 100BT switched. Total cable feet between client and server (including switch) - 10 foot. According to the switch, both machines are running at 100BT speed, full duplex. There is what appears to be a lot of network traffic between the client and the

I am having the same trouble with automatically mounted home shares with samba 2.2.1a (PDC, domain logins, roaming profiles) and NT4WS sp6a. If I login as one user, logout, then login as another, I can view the previous users home share as well as my newly logged in users home share (lather, rinse, repeat...). The NT box has a machine account, domain logins work, profiles work, login scripts

I have Samba running on my web server (it's not a major file server or anything) so that I can access files on it from my local network. Mainly things like I can view my webalizer pages thru a local machine, or to copy files over for installation. Anyway - every 2-3 hours, I 'lose' the connection and have to reboot the WinXP machine (yeh, I know - 'Rule #1 of Microsoft - When in

I have had samba running on my freebsd box for about 2 years now, and my / partition is 50MB (it is just a fileserver with ssh and nothing more). However, recently (about a month or two ago) it disconnects itself from my LAN with warnings like: semaphore timeout has expired. I go to the console on the box and it says that the disk is full (its not, but the root directory is at 101%) I cannot

Hi there, I wonder if you can help, We have an application that requires a users home directory to be accessible even though they are not setup as a linux user. eg: stuart is on his windows machine (logged in as stuart) he goes through the network to find his samba server on the samba server he finds the folder 'stuart' and can read and write to it, but he does not have a linux account

Hi all I have a Samba 2.2.2-3.2mdk build running on 8.1 Mandrake. All the Win9x clients work fine. The Win2k clients also work fine except that from within Word or Excel they can't use file open or file save. When trying to open or save a file on a drive that is mapped to the Samba share then the app says that the user does not have enough privileges on drive x: The file can be opened by

So now that I'm looking at Linux as an alternative people tell me to use Samba. It seems to be that Samba is so Windows can see *nix servers. I need for my Linux desktops to access Windows servers. What are my options? Thanks, Jerry V. Way IS/IT Mgr. Kenra, LLC Indianapolis, IN

Hi, The LFS page hosted on suse's servers states that smbfs has probs with large files and it seems to be a bit out-of-date. http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html I can't correct him with authority, but maybe one of the team should. -------------- Martyn Ranyard I am not a member of the samba team, and anything that I say may not be as accurate as a response from one of the

While the Samba server is running, does it ever refresh the contents of the smb.conf file, or do you have to restart the server for it to see changes to the smb.conf file? Thanks in advance.

Hi, is it possible for samba 2.2.4 to register itself as win2k (nt 5.0). I need it because of a win2k domain serwer which I must use and whose security policy disallows clients older than Windows 2000.

I need to move a Samba 2.2.1 server form a Windows 2000 Domain network that is currently running in Mixed mode with a domain name if "ABC" to a pure Windows 2000 Active Directory network with a domain of "ABC.net". Do I need to do anything other than change the domain controller name listed in the password server property in the smb.conf? Thanks! Devin M. Rader, MCP
