Some use Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html) or DoubleTalk (http://www.connectix.com/products/dt.html). However, we use Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) successfully to share the Unix/Samba file system with our Mac clients. Is there any reason you can't use Netatalk?

I recently installed DAVE on two of the office Macintoshes. (running 0S9.2 and OS8.6)(DAVE is mac to windows(samba) filesharing utility) I use SAMBA from the testing version of DEBIAN. The mac's leave alot of files on the shares that i find annoying. Is there a method I could use to prevent the mac from leaving it's "trash". (filname filtering perhaps)

Hello, Anyone out there running a production network supporting PC and Macintosh clients using samba and netatalk. we are currently using NT 4.0 with AppleTalk-IP software. Sharing the same files with the Macs and the pc is a must. I read someplace that samba 2.2.2 supports Appletalk. Is this true? Thanks, Joe

Hey! I have been given the task to mirror our fileserver's filesystem onto a secondary machine for redundancy. The first thing that came to mind was rsync, but now I have few questions as I am far from an expert on this matter. Our file server is running Debian Stable. We use Samba for our Windows users and Netatalk (AFP) for our OS X clients. The filesystem used on the server is

Hi All, I'm have a lot of speech files that are given from an organisation that has a lot of audio tapes with talks on them. Many people use these tapes, and I have started to convert to the audio to mp3. More recently I've started using speex, but the problem is, many people are using macintosh's and I don't know how to play speex files on macintosh, (Linux, & Windows

I've built a new samba server to replace an aging Apple 9500 running 8.6 that is acting as a 'file server'. The other macs run 9.2 and 10.2, which are the computers that will be served (I HOPE!) by the samba server. I have installed DAVE in order to be able to copy the files over to the new server. However, as the files copy, they disappear on the samba server. Someone said it

Is there any way to use samba (on linux) with macintosh as client?

I want to backup from a windows machine to a Macintosh. All of the guides that I've seen describe the other direction. Worse, they all seem slightly different, or inconsistent. The first thing that I'd want to do should be simple: an rsync -az --delete of the entire drive, to back up all of the files. But that's not everything on the windows machine. And this is what I have not seen

Anytime a PC on our network copies a file to our server and a macintosh client goes to view that file, the type and creator codes are incorrect. We are running Samba for Windows clients and Xinet KA-Share for Mac clients. I think it has something to do with the resource forks. I can copy a file to the server from a Mac then copy the file from the server to a windows machine and back again

I have a client who has a bunch of macs accessing some samba shares, and they write these ._filename and .DS_STORE files all over the place, he would perfer it to not write these files at all. Anyone ran into this issue? what would be the best way to prevent these files from getting written onto the shares? veto? -- Matt Pruett <entelin@logicaldreams.net>

Hi, I've been toying with the idea of using the Linux machine as a print server. I'm using RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.3. I already have one remote printer share working... but I can't figure out where the PrintTool in RedHat is storing the remote printers IP address. Anyone know where? :) (not important just bugging me - I hate when OS's hide stuff) I have the Samba book

Hi all, Have any of you had experience with macintosh's sandbox denying access to a folder served by Samba? I don't know exactly how to reproduce, so here's everything (?): I'm running macOS Catalina (10.15.1). In the terminal I start a python command interpreter. python # then >>>import os # then I repeatedly list a directory others have been having problems

I recently switched from using Redhat Linux 9 to SuSE 9.2 Pro and am having problems with an auto mounted share served from a Macintosh running Mac OS 10.3.6. I can read from the share without problems. However, writing to it is a different story. All the files/folders on the share are owned by janee in the group janee and have rw owner and group permissions. I've tried playing with the

Can a Macintosh access Samba file and printer shares? Thanks, Steve

Hi! First of all, i want to say thank you to all the people who helped me out the other day with the Mac question. In fact, Netatalk needed to be properly configured. Now i'm having another Mac problem :( and i've not been able to solve it. Well, it seems that although Macs are registering and functioning properly in the domain, they don't appear as such to the rest of the

I have a feature request for rsync. I tried posting it to the FAQ-o-matic, but that system didn't seem to be accepting new questions. I hope this is an okay list for the request--apologies if it's misdirected. Mac OS X provides support for the Mac file system resource forks and mac specific metadata (e.g., creator and file type). Most Unix applications ignore this information, but it

Hi, I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about Apple. FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients? I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms of support

Hi all, I'm have a Linux Box running samba and netatalk, and a file system shared with Mac and Windows users. My problem is that when a user in Windows delete a file that have a Macintosh label (color), and later the Windows user put another version of the file with the same name, the Macintosh label still apear (and this is not the behavior that i need). I view in the file system that

I recently discovered that I need to occasionally forward Email from a FreeBSD system to a Macintosh. Imap does look like the best solution to this problem. The mail program on the Mac lists several protocols such as pop (okay with me) and SSL certificates which I want to avoid if at all possible. Which of the several listed methods of authentication should I compile in as I build dovecot on the

Hi I've seen a couple of people post this problem, but I've never seen an answer, and now it's happenning to me. I run Solaris 2.5.1, and samba-1.9.17p1. Every so often a pc can look in the network neighborhood and the samba server just isn't there, though you can still map a network drive by using a UNC pathway: \\server\share so the share is still out there but the server
