I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

I'm currently running redhat 7.3. Something happened where I can't configure samba in order to compile. I know some older kernels were removed from the system, so I'm not sure if that's the cause of it all or not. When I try to configure samba now, I get a lot of checks not found. For example: checking for strerror... no checking for chown... no checking for fchown... no checking

I've looked at samba's website but couldn't find the info so hopefully someone on this can help. I'm creating a webpage of the applications I use on my Linux Server and would like to add Samba to it. Is it ok to use Samba's logo on my website, or is there another Samba Image I should be using? Thanks Adam Cormany __________________________________________________ Do You

I have Samba 2.2.4 installed on Redhat 7.3. I was trying to set up printers through it and everything works great on from a Windows 2000 Professional Client, but a Windows XP Client dies a miserable death when trying to view the properties of a printer. On the Windows XP Client side, I get: Properties clould not be displayed, procedure could not be finished On the Redhat 7.3 side, I'm seeing:

Hi, We have been having a few problems with a M$ Access DB held on a Samba server Samba version: samba-2.2.4-2N1 We have rebuilt a new server, and transferred the database over to the new box, along with word/excel docs etc. Everything is working fine, except the access database, which is running very very slowly (can be over a minute to open a record). Details are a little sketchy, but it

Hi list, I am faced by a strange problem w/ one of our 10 win2k/sp3 clients in a samba2.2.8a pdc-network. If I want to logon I get a message like this(translated from german): "Your profile has not been loaded, but you will be logged in to a local Profile.

Hello all, We are experiencing problems using MYOB Premier V6.0.2 on Windows 2000 computers SP3, with the data file residing on shared drive on Linux (Redhat 7.2) file server running Samba Version 2.2.1a and kernel 2.4.9-34.

This is set up with Win2K boxes sharing a QB file on a SAMBA share. It may be quite different than with 95-98x-ME(Miserable Edition). There are two or more problems - one thing I identified is that it is possible for two computers to connect to the QB(QuickBooks) share using the same quick books logon - something that will cause data corruption. (Something that could have been easily

Hi there, is it possible and when, how - to change the filelocking-status of an opened file from EXCLUSIVE+BATCH to another status ?

Hi all, I am having some strange problems with samba on one of my fileservers. I am using samba 2.2.1a compiled with qouta support and the quota patches. Kernel is 2.4.9 with quota patches.

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, Thought I posted this already two weeks ago. Haven't seen any reactions yet, so I post it again We got the following problem here: Every now and then, users are unable to save Word or Excel documents on our Samba server. We already tried a couple of things: disabling oplocks, increasing oplock break wait time, putting the documents on a new share, ... but to no success so far. The

We are having some problems in our company's test group that did not exist when our Clearcase 2003.06 server existed on a Solaris 8 machine. Now we are running on RHEL 5.2 with Clearcase 7.0.1.3 with Samba 3.0.28 (despite the fact that IBM has only blessed up to 3.0.24) and running into some file locking issues with some scripts our test group runs. I am hoping that someone might have some

Hello all, Either the docs or the value in smb.conf.default is wrong. (Or at least confusing).

I'm trying to use Access 2002 on a Samba server.....question, are there special Samba parameters that need to be set so that 3-5 users can enter data? All users have proper access (no pun intended) to the SAMBA server..... thanks jr
