similar to: No write access on win98 to samba shares

Hi, all Until recently, we were running Samba 1.9.18p7 in a Solaris 2.6 environment. We configured our environment with configure --with-nisplus --with-automount. With that configuration, we were able to allow multiple machines within our workgroup to act as windows 95 logon servers. Because everthing was automounted. No matter which machine a person gained access to, it provided them with the

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

Hello, I am trying to install Samba and have started going through the DIAGNOSE.TXT file.. However, I am can not get past step 3, but am getting some really wierd stuff, so I don't know whether it is some sort of bug, or it is me doing something wrong.... I downloaded the latest, samba-2.0.6 from the web site, then did: ./configure make make install I have a basic config as follows:

While installing Samba 2.0.6 using 'security=server', I at first used a domain name (whatever.epicentric.com) for the 'password server' parameter, before realizing that it should be the NetBIOS name (WHATEVER). An incorrect value appears to cause a segfault (on Solaris). The workaround is "don't do that then" but thought I'd report it in case other people run

I could do with some help. We're creating a large number of files from from NT Workstation. After a while (I think it's 1014 files but it may be 2027), the SAMBA log reports "Out of file structure" errors. Below is a cut down version of the log file. The 1014 number is significant as it appears in the SAMBA log when SAMBA starts. I'm guessing it's a Solaris OS limit.

Hello all, I receive some errors which I cannot explain : Hopefully there's someone who can help me. When I type: "smbclient -L 10.33.6.180" I get: Session Request to 10.33.6.180 failed (code 0) Session Request to 10 failed (code 0) Session Request to *SMBSERVER failed (code 0) What does code 0 mean? Log.smb shows problems with socket-options: But I haven't changed these

Hi! I have problems starting smbd. As i try to start samba with "smb start" only the nmbd is started.

I'm using samba 2.0.0. I have samba installed on a machine running solaris 2.6. I want to be able map a unix filesytems to a windows and/or NT machine. I don't see the share when I go into network neighborhood on the windows/nt side. I've attached the smb.conf file that I'm using. Is there a client piece that I need to install? or is there a problem with the configuraion

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars.

Hi, I have updated my old 2.4.7 kernel to 2.4.19 using the full download from kernel.org and installed samba-2.2.6 Using my old kernel i can access every share and everything works fine. Using my new kernel also everything works but samba,. i can telnet the system, ftp also works ok, but windows 2k tells me server not found if i try to acces the shares. i think, i forgot something to compile to

I'm stumped on getting Samba to work again on our small network. I've got one Windows 95 machine that started to refuse to talk to Samba last week. I *was* running one of the 1.9.18 releases, but when it stopped working, I figured I would delete the old release and do a clean install of 2.0.3. I've done that, and used SWAT to configure the smb.conf file (which can be seen below).

I just report a problem that seems to be know since quite a long tiem, but is neither reflected in the FAQ nor in the README's of the samba distribution. The problem is that using gcc under IRIX to compile samba gives a mismatch in calling semctl, because the structure passing conventions of gcc are not same as the IRIX cc conventions. (As far as I know semctl is the only function taht is

Hi All! I have been a happy and contented user of samba for several years now, when I got asked several questions I didn't know the answer to. The questions were: 1) Is there a way to create a network appliance type unix box, where usernames and groupnames are pulled from an existing NT4 or W2K domain? (without maintaining a local /etc/passwd file) What is the best way to do this?

Hello, I've got a samba/win98 problem. This occurs with samba 2.05a and slackware linux 7.0 and freebsd 3.4-release and samba 2.06. I've got two machines, one a pure 98 machine, the other split 50-50 linux and freebsd. All is looking well, samba is my local master, will always win elections etc. Both machines show up and all is good until I restart samba. At that point no matter which

Hi everybody! I've problems with Samba and Win98 clients. Everytime I try to copy some files from a Win98 machine to the server, the progress bar freezes after a while and then after a minute or so I get an error message that the 'network ressource isn't available'. The server runs Samba version 2.0.7-3 and the OS is Debian Linux 2.2 r3 (Potato). And this is what error.log says:

Hi everybody. This is my first post here - Im hoping that someone out there can shed some light on my little problem, it's starting to drive me nuts! :) Ive had a look through the archives as well as other methods for finding a solution to my problem but to no avail, so I decided to post here - hope you dont mind! Im migrating an old samba 2.2 PDC to a new system running 3.0.23, we

Hi I have a Win NT4.0 PDC srv called "G1" and after I installed a Samba 3.0.5 into a FreeBSD 5.3 beta 5 box I choose winbind in the ./configure . The main goal I follow is to deploy an domain member server. As a result: Running wbinfo -u I can see the Win NT users, with wbinfo -g I can see the Win NT groups. All seems to be ok. Through the Midnight Commander, selecting FILE ->CHOWN I

I'm finally getting somewhere in setting up my FreeBSD PDC. I try and login via my XP client and now it gives me this odd message. "Cannot login because a duplicate user already exists on the network. Please goto control panel and system and change your computer name." Sorta paraphrased there, perhaps off by a word or two but that's pretty much what it tells me. I'm just
