Hi, I'm Samba is a new thing for me and I hope my question will make some sense! I have created several samba shares listed in my smb.conf file and have the option "create mode = 0660" set. This is fine most of the time, however sometimes certain users create files (for web pages) that they want to be world-readable. How can I keep my default setting at 660, but have some

We have been able to successfully install / configure SAMBA on our LAN / WAN. Everything is working out just fine.. Just 1 little problem (And I'm sure it is something I screwed up or missed in the docs). When changing a computer name on the client PC (Win2k), I receive an "Access Denied" error. I've even tried using the root account to change the name with no avail.

does anyone know how to hide a samba server in SMB terms? on an NT machine the command "net config server /hidden:yes" will make the machine vanish from the network neighbourhood but i cant figure out how to do this for a samba server many thanks sincerely, bob reven

Hopefully a simple question. Does anyone know of .deb or .dsc files for Samba Version 2.2.4, 2.2.5, 2.2.6, or 2.2.7? The only packages available from Debian are: 1. Stable - Samba 2.2.3 2. Testing - Samba 2.2.3 3. Unstable - Samba 30alpha20-4 I've looked on the debian website and in google with no luck. Any help much appreciated? IRV

Is there anyone on the list that has been able to get Win2k SP3 working with the 3.0 alpha version? I'm able to join but I can NOT log in. I can see the machine account listed in pass.tdb (using pdbedit -l) and it is also in passwd & shadow. I HAVE ALSO APPLIED THE SIGN OR SEAL PATCH.

Hi, I am mounting a windows 2000 share on a linux box (2.4.18) using smbmount (2.2.2). I can create files >2Gb on both the systems, but I can't copy a file >2Gb from the linux box over the smbmount. The file size limit is exceeded and the "cp" command core-dumps. Has anyone solved this problem? I had installed the samba binary rpms; is there a patch-n-compile solution

Hi everybody, I set up Samba 3.0alpha1.9 on a RH7.2 and I want to configure it as a Primary Domain Controller.

I have had this problem before. Never really got to the bottom of it but if you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable authentication. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Myers [mailto:myersjj@us.ibm.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 21:08 To: SAMBA@SAMBA.ORG Subject: RE: [Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate I had already done that, so it must be

hi, I have a pretty basic samba server installed on my Debian system. I use samba 2.2.3a-7 for Debian. Everything seems to work just fine except printing; Everyone is able to print (w2k clients) even though "guest ok = no" is set. The print job is done by the guest user (nobody). How is this possible when guest ok is set to no? TIA Ronald smb.conf: [global] netbios name = DARKCLOUD

Did you make sure localhost resolves? Also, depending on your /etc/resolv.conf, you may have to fully qualify the host's name including the DNS domain. I seem to rember having problems with this, and some combination of using localhost or hostname.domain.edu or using the actual IP address of the host cleared up the problem.

Hello all, I'm relatively new to linux, and an absolute neophyte to Samba. I have installed the Samba server (samba-2.2.4-2) on my linux box and have it networked to a pc running Windows98. (this is where my development environement resides) I can transfers any files from my Linux box (share=ptpl) to my Windows pc, however when I try to to transfer files the other way (a write to the

Hello All! I have Samba Version 2.999+3.0.alpha20-2. Just recently I tried to join the domain using the Win2k Wizard with no success. This functionality worked in the previous version of Samba V. 2.2.3a. If I'm on the same subnet though, it works like a charm. The error I receive is the following: "The following error occurred validating the name "mydomain" The specified

As the list probably already knows I'm fairly new to Linux / Samba. Please bare with me. =) I've managed to compile Samba-2.2.4. The first compile went wrong using the "configure -with ldap" command (something like that). Anyway 2 days later after apt-get' ting any packages with "lib" and those that sound like they belong in the build =) I got it to compile

Hi Folks, I am a Samba newbie and needed some assistance with my configuration. I am trying to run Samba 2.2.2 (on Solaris 8 Intel Version) downloaded from Sunfreeware.com and have a Windows 2000 Professional box. I believed I followed the directions in SAMBA-How-To carefully but cannot get connection from a DOS prompt. When I run the command below from my UNIX box, here is what I get: The

Has anyone tried using Windows 2000 Professional with Samba? I'm checking it out now, and when I try to connect to a share, I get an error message similiar to the one you get with Win98 and NT4 with SP3+ with encrypted passwords. Does anyone know the equivelant registry path to set plain text passwords? The NT4 path doesn't seem to exist:

Hello All, I am setting up a samba backup UNIX box. It will periodically login onto a windoze box(with smbclient), pickup the files, and save them. The problem is that I couldn't make any error correction in case of power blackout or anything similar. That is, while backing up, if I shutdown the WIN machine, one I'm backing up, smbclient goes crazy, giving broken pipe error.

I have a project due at school and have chosen Samba servers to research. I am trying to find a source of information that discusses the corporate advantage to Samba. How much money can a company save in NT server licensing fees for example. Something that would help me write a fictitious business proposal. If anyone can quick point me in a direction here I would appreciate it.

Hi there I can't add a w2k Machine to my existing samba domain. I did configure samba as a pdc, did create all accounts and when I wanna trust my box to the pdc it tells me in a faboulous window: " The domain name "DOMAIN" is either invalid or does not exist. Any Ideas? Best Rgds Jochen
