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 all, I am having some strange problems on a customer site : I am pretty sure I disabled oplocks entirely - I don't like the idea of them, and would rather have stable data. The customer (5-10 users) runs Sage Line 50, and until recently was getting numerous errors within sage. We have temporarily replaced their switch and this has reduced the fatality rate and a few

Hi all, Thought I'd post this to the list as I found a better way of doing it. Nice to have for posterity. Please include it in the source of samba if you wish - I hereby license it under GPL 1. install ghostscript (most distributions include it anyway) 2. put the following in the file /usr/sbin/pdfprint and make it executable by whatever your guest user for samba is : #!/bin/bash

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 all, I was investigating the SMB signing problems between Win2k clients and Windows XP servers and thought I'd take a look to see if there were any hotfix patches for Win2k that were post service pack 2. I discovered this list.... : http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com/support/ServicePacks/Windows/2000/Win2000_Post-SP2_Hotfixes.asp of *amazing*

Hi, I recently installed a new samba server to replace an older Novell machine. Now, we are having performance issues. I have installed many samba servers, and have not run into this problem before. Some background info: The server is an Athlon 1800+ w/ 512MB DDR RAM. We are using software raid on 80GB IDE ATA 100 drives with the VIA 82C3XX chipset. When mirroring the drives, we usually get

Odd. I installed that hotfix on my workstation and it seems fine. Wonder what's different about your configuration? I noticed there were a fair number of issues with various packages listed in the release notes... -----Original Message----- From: Martyn Ranyard [mailto:mranyard@inter.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 12:09 PM To: Samba List Subject: [Samba] Re: NT4 SP7 Don't do

Guess what, after I posted I came across the list of hotfixes for after SP6 for NT4. It's basically SP7 under any other name - but requires SP6a installed. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q299444& It's a whopping 13.99 Mb to download (or if you believe IE's figures more than their website, 14.1 )

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 \

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

Hello everyone, I would like to send a big tar file (eg: >2Gbytes) from my Linux samba server to a win2K client without patching the kernel. Samba server: I'm using Linux version 2.4.8-26mdk (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.62mdk) with samba 2.2.5-2. I'm using tar (GNU tar) 1.13.22 to make the tar file and the command "cp" to copy this tar file to my win2k client. I've never

I am trying to share a CD-RW from the samba server (SuSE Linux 7.3, kernel 2.4.10) using Samba that came with the distribution. I am using user level sharing and have successfully shared out disk shares with both r and rw access. I can also access the CD-ROM and CD-RW in read mode and even do an installation from the CD-ROM to a client. When I try to create a CD using CD-RW, I get the following

Hi there, I'm running Redhat Linux V8.0 using ext3 file system and I'm wondering what the maximum file size allowed is? I've got some potentially humunguous logfiles I need to store that could likely be around 4-8GB per day and just want to make sure I don't run into problems. TIA! Kevin Cavanagh

Hi guys, I've installed Samba but can't get the printer to work. I've done magicfilterconfig --force and configured the Printer.

I use samba every day, and it works perfectly except : I work for a reseller of a contact manager which runs on windows, doesn't support UNC pathnames, but does support mapped drives, to all real windows servers, and with an option, to a novell server. The trouble is, this program uses directory structure intensively and doesn't seem to be able to create directories properly on a

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

In the Red Hat Linux spec file for the 2.2.19 kernel, there is a note not to enable ext3 and LFS at the same time. I'm wondering whether this is an old note, and that it is safe to use ext3 0.0.7a on a system with LFS enabled, or if there are still issues with it. I'm aware that 0.0.7a is a really old version, and 2.2 isn't the most modern kernel, but it is what I have to work with.

Hello, I found my samba can only support files no larger than 2GB. Searched internet for a while and learned I need the LFS patch. The problem is where can I found them? The link from google seems unreachable. I found the patch is smbfs-2.4.16-lfs.patch and samba-2.2.2-lfs.patch, but I'm running kernel 2-4-20 and samba-2.2.7a, so the newer kernel and samba doesn't include these LFS patch?

Hallo altogether! First of all I want to thank the developers for the great codec! But I have the following problem now: I have built my own Linux from Scratch and also compiled everything that is necessary to have ogg and vorbis and tools for de- and encoding. Just the encoding turned out to have very poor quality independent how high I set the quality level. It has some kind
