Boy this was a big scary headache! As well, I really wish the samba upgrade didn't wipe my changes to /etc/pam.d/samba and /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb (back them up instead, please). Situation: Upgrading Samba from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5. Samba is using winbindd for authentication. Problem: Under 2.2.4, smb.conf originally contained a password server specified by IP address: password server

On friday I was having a heck of a time using Samba...especially in regard to CUPS and printing. I posted on the list some big questions about my setup and what could be done with it, and was a little disheartened not to get an answer. Later that day, completely out of the blue, I received a long-distance call from John H. Terpstra, one of the Samba lead people. He must have tracked down my

I'm getting really frustrated again...please help. Would someone please answer these questions and maybe I can figure out what is wrong with my installation: 1. I can add printers in CUPS, and they show up in Samba (after a 'service smb restart'). I can see them when I surf to \\waifer <file://\\waifer> (the name of the Samba server), but when I double-click on them there, it

I'm running samba 2.2.2-6 on a redhat 7.2 box running 2.4.9-7 kernel... I'm trying to upload printer drivers from a Windows 2000 client. I've followed the instructions in the samba howto collection. I've created the print$ share, created the printer directory and subdirs, and made sure they are writeable by me. I put myself in the write list and the printer admin list.

I've experienced something like this, as well. Though I don't know if this will help, I would make sure that your NT username(s) are appropriately mapped to unix users. You may not be able to view the properties because the permissions/mapped user are mixed up. You can check this by doing a smbstatus - the user names listed as connected are the unix usernames that have been mapped to.

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

Nope, doesn't work, and I need the drivers to be available and read from the linux server. The PPD files do contain one which is specific to my printer and has worked on another machine. -----Original Message----- From: Blake Patton [mailto:pattonb@spots.ca] Sent: May 31, 2002 11:32 AM To: WEBSTER, Greg Subject: RE: [Samba] I will pay you $10US (via Paypal) out of my own pocket if you can

We upgraded to 2.2.6rc2 yesterday to continue our resolving of the printer driver problems. (Thanks Jerry & Rohin) For unrelated reasons I wanted to log into the machine late last night and found Putty couldn't connect. When I get in this morning the server was completely hooped with Out of Memory errors on the screen with SMBD as the offending process. Trying to log into any console

Unfortunately, it appears smbstatus will only show the clients that have accessed the shares since the last restart of the smb daemon (not a guarantee that people will do this in our case). There appears to be a timeout of this information as well. WINS does keep all this information based on when the client's machine first logs into the network, so it's a lot more accurate. Man, I wish

Seriously. I can't afford to be down much longer or I'm going to be in serious trouble. Running Redhat 7.2. Here's the scoop: Cups is installed and running. Samba is installed and running and is sharing files properly to 100+ people. I can print a test page from the Cups web-interface. I can print a test page by "cat foo | lpr" or "cat foo | lpr.cups" no

I've seen this happen several times, and, short of rebooting the NT PDC, I can't seem to fix it. Background: We have two numbered networks in the building. We have an NT domain that has members on both numbered networks. To keep browse lists straight, I've designated Samba as the browse master on one of the networks. It's declared to be in the same workgroup as the NT primary

On 31 Mar 99, Jim Watt <jimw@pe-nelson.com> had questions about NT PDC forgets it's the domain master browser! Why???: [snip] > For about a week after the PDC is rebooted, everything is fine. > Clients on both networks can see all the machines in the domain, > indicating that Samba and the PDC are synchronizing browse > lists. Eventually, in the nmbd log, errors like

I just downloaded 2.04a, and when attempting to examine it, I received: [...] -rwxr-xr-x 1 1002 1002 282323 May 17 16:27 samba-2.0.4a/source/configure tar: End of archive volume 1 reached tar: ustar vol 1, 687 files, 10711040 bytes read.

Hi, I am getting this log entry in the nmb.log file. Any ideas why I am getting it? query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet 9.36. 220.43 for name WHITE<1d>. This response was from IP 9.36.223.255 Thanks Chip

Hi all, I have rather a perplexing question... I'm just setting up a new linux (Redhat 7.2) samba server with authentication using winbind and pam. Everything seems to be working well on the authentication side except in Swat. If I go to the machine ( http://machinename:901 <http://machinename:901> ) it pops up the authentication dialog which is obviously authenticating through

I have a Win95 machine that I am trying to connect to a Samba share. When I log in as administrator, I can connect to any and all samba shares just fine. When I log onto the PC as a normal user, it asks for a password and rejects them all. The logs say "server xyz rejected password" for each of these attempts. This server has SP3 and I *do* have the encryption stuff compiled in. I

As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the new NT_Security document was present in the 2.0.4 tarball as a yodl file, but not as text or html documents. I've re-released the tarball on samba.org (and it will propagate to all the mirrors shortly) as samba-2.0.4a.tar.gz containing the new NT_Security.html and NT_Security.txt documents. I also took the opportunity to fix the typo in the

Hello, I'm getting a really wacky problem with samba running on solaris 2.7 ./smbclient -L zeus -N -- gives: session request to ZEUS failed (Called name not present) session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present) The NT side give "\\Zeus is not accesible." "network name was not found" messages The same smb.conf file works on a solaris 2.5 and 2.6
