Hello all, we're currently having problems with Windows XP machines that have *very* long file access times for files that are located on our linux-based samba server (samba 2.2.5 / linux 2.4.18). This happens with all kinds of files, with all kinds of programs, including Office97, text editors, develoment environments, etc. Sometimes - the incidents itself seems to be random and is not

I'm sure you've seen that subject line before.... I can't get Samba (via Swat) to see my CUPS printers at all. I've tried everything I can think of...the single network-connected printer is listed in CUPS and I've added it on the command-line (via printconf-tui). I can send a test page to it from the CUPS web-interface and also through the printconf-tui interface. I can

I have also posted this to the CUPS general group, but thought that it was also a relevant post for this list. ------- I have samba-2.2.8a on RedHat 7.2. This has been a stable setup for quite some time, printing works as advertised. However, attempting to control the queues and print jobs is another story. As an aside, the Linux box is a domain member that does pass through authentication

Hi, as I saw someone today pointing to a solution for protected directories in the recycle dir (thanks Ben!), I wanted to compile the modified recycle.c. I'm using Mandrake 9.0, I have kernel-source, kernel-header and all basic development tools installed, including the libtool package; I downloaded the Samba 2.2.7a sources, applied the patch, but I cannot compile the library. Following

I have just upgraded a RedHat 6.2 box from Samba 2.0.10 to Samba 2.2.5 in one of our elementary school buildings because we now have some w2k boxes that must log to the domain. I'm now getting an error on initializing the locking modules when I run smbstatus. I did the upgrade remotely so I don't know yet whether workstations work properly with the upgrade.

Hi I recently tried to install the printerdriver to the samba server (samba 3.0alpha30 on debian) from a windows 2000 client. The APW asked me for a Win2k-server cd for the winnt drivers, although i had them on a disc...which I don't have 2 Questions: 1) does anybody know why the APW will not accept my winnt driver from the driver disc when i comes to install the winnt driver 2) is it

I am running RH8 with Samba 2.2.6. I am attempting to connect a Win2k box to my Linux box. I "see" Linux in Network Neighborhood, I can ping the Win2k BIOS name, and I can ping the Linux box BIOS name. However When I click on accessing linux I get resource not available. And when I run smbstatus I get the following: Samba version 2.2.6 Service uid gid pid machine

I'd like to use the recycle as a per machine recycler using the option 'name = .recycle/%m' (because we just use some usernames without passwords, and not because of the adminstrators abilties, but for a better workflow with a lot of different projects and people working on them.) But if a directory is created the vfs recycle uses the rights 700, and i have found no way around it

I was under the impression that this is a good list. But maybe that isn't the case. I have asked multiple questions and have done tons of research before hand and tried to be as specific as possible. So far I haven't received any answers. All I wanted was information on getting a NT server to accecpt connections from UNIX. The documentation is to clumsy and very hard to read. The

I have been searching through the docs and on the web to no avail. I work at a university and we are moving our fileservers to new hardware. The problem is, nothing seems to integrate Mac's and Win box's happily. We have a large user base using samba already, but when mac's pick up the same share via CAP, CAP creates files to deal with the dual 'stream' nature of files from a

Hello list, I am at the hair pulling stage of this game right now. Having read through many of the posts, I still seem to be unable to get my samba server to allow anonymous connections ( or any connections for that matter ) from windows machines. All I want to do is have printers and one folder shared, all as guest accessable. I have made the security level = share and made the shares

I'm still struggling with this, and people keep asking me why the PDF printer still isn't working...does anyone have any suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: David Brodbeck Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 4:09 PM To: 'samba@samba.org' Subject: PDF printing problem - can't find Samba's file? I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't figure it out.

I have a couple questions that I will submit separately. When I have IPchains running I can't get my samba box to show up in network neighborhood, but when I turn ipchains off the box shows up. What rules do I need to add for things to work properly? -- Raymond Norton Little Crow Telemedia Network 320-234-0270

Hi: I recently encountered a problem reading directories via an XP Pro client shared from a samba server (redhat's rpm samba-2.2.7-5.8.0). File listing was sometimes VERRRY slow. It was not a DNS issue in this case. The symptoms, and my fix is below, but I wanted to ask, is there a way to deal with this from the server? (I dunno- like redirecting port 80 or something). >From the client,

I've seen this issue asked about and asked about in the archives, unfortunately I can't seem to find a real solution only people's theories. The issue involves a 2.2.5 Samba server acting as a member print server in a Windows 2000 domain. I can add printers from the server to clients in the domain and then print. The issue comes when I try and view/manage the print queue from Windows.

So far, I have three machines in the domain: kaylee -- the DC. Gentoo. samba 4.0.3 saffron -- client. Gentoo. Samba 3.6.12 wash -- client (Also network router). Debian. Samba 3.5.6 I'm using bind_dlz as a backend, for the record. I've joined saffron to the domain successfully, and the record shows up in DNS. $ samba-tool dns query kaylee firefly.michael.mol.name saffron all Name=,

Hello, I'm trying to use samba (Version 2.2.3a-6 for Debian) as a DC for a windows 2000 pro network. Everything seems to work OK, except the roaming profiles. Every few days (I haven't locked down a pattern yet) all machines connected to the server loose their connection, and no one can connect again until the server is rebooted. I'm using log level 3, and this is what log.smbd

Hi, everybody! I have 20 WinXP client machines and a sever running Samba (first try was with 2.2.8, now it's 3.0.0rc1). If it matters to someone (for statistics, fun or for understanding the problem), i use Slackware 9.0 Linux, kernel 2.4.20 on server (and clients are XPpro/SP1, buld 2600 as far as i remember). I almost had no problems configuring samba for browsing and fortunately i

On Monday (xmas day) samba was working fine. On Tuesday it wasn't. I didn't change anything on either the Fedora Core 6 machine (relay) nor the XP Pro machine (oob2). I followed all the steps in "Procedure 38.1. Diagnosing Your Samba Server", and until I got to step 8 everything worked fine. From the broken xp pro machine: oob2$ net view '\\relay' The Server
