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 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 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

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

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'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'm not sure this would even work well in Windows. CDs make poor

Ever since I upgraded from Samba 1.9.18 to 2.0.0, I've been having problems with applications started from a Samba share dying silently, or with an Illegal Instruction message, on NT 4.0 Workstation. Since the only configuration change has been the Samba upgrade, that would seem to be the orgin of the problem. Below is my smb.conf file, in case I have something configured (or not configured)

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

Ohh, hmm. I'll try it at work if I get some time and see what happens. I have a Samba benchmark I can run against one of our unused servers, and I'll try to have 16 "users" access the same iso copied and mounted twice, just as you're doing. I might not get time to do this next week, so in the mean time, a good troubleshooting technique is to strip any as many smb.conf

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

I'm running Samba with automount to automatically mount CDs in a server. These CDs need to be changed periodically, so I wanted to use automount so that they could be changed by the users fairly easily. We use logon scripts to map the CDs to drive letters when users logon. Unfortunately, it seems that having a drive mapped is treated like the drive is being used, so as long as there is

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

Hi, How much is mail-gear and where can I buy it? ----- Original Message ----- From: <samba@samba.org> To: Multiple recipients of list <samba@samba.org> Sent: Monday, January 25, 1999 6:14 PM Subject: SAMBA digest 1954 > SAMBA Digest 1954 > >For information on unsubscribing see http://samba.org/listproc/ >Topics covered in this issue include: > > 1) Re: [WIN

I am an absolute beginner with Samba, considering if it's worth installing. The problem I have is : I want to include windows directories into Oracle utl_file_dir. Will installing Samba allow me to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've got an issue with remote files being deleted after the local file has been deleted. For some reason, this isn't happening. I'm running rsync 2.5.6 protocol 26 (yes, I know there are newer versions, but logistics dictates that I can't upgrade right now). I have used the --delete, --delete-after, and --ignore-errors options in all sorts of combinations. An example of the

You're going about this in the wrong way. Review the following piece of man-page: logon drive (G) This parameter specifies the local path to which the home directory will be connected (see logon home) and is only used by NT Workstations. Note that this option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon server. Default:

Has anyone had success with Appcac Plus (Dos) running on a samba machine? If so, any particular lanpak and version requirements? How about locking - I'll assume oplocks off (like NT). Thanks, Steve -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
