similar to: Difference between smbstatus and WINS (was WINS querying (Advance d))

Hi all... I need to make a few queries to WINS, but am unsure how to do so. 'nmblookup' will allow me to enter an IP address and get information about the machine name, domain, and username. I want to do the opposite...I would like to have a tool that will take a username and return the IP address. I know this information is stored in WINS somehow, and I am capable of writing some Perl

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

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

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

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

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.

How does one get rid of machines from the WINS database? They seem to hang around forever....and a restart doesn't solve it because the WINS data just gets passed around... Michael D. Black mblack@csihq.com http://www.csihq.com/ http://www.csihq.com/~mike 321-676-2923, x203 Melbourne FL

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

Hey all, Just wondering about the current status of wrepld. Back in '02 Jean Fran?ois Micouleau was doing some work on it, but there does not appear to be any changes to the code since that spring besides updates to the entire tree that happen to touch the wrepld files. The Samba-HOWTO states that it is in "active development" and I was wondering if I could help with testing or

Hello, I was looking at the ldap authentication code (in 2.2.5) and it looks like there is no support for having multiple ldap servers for authentication (ie, if one is not responding, try from a backup). Does anyone have a patch to add this functionality? If not, I'll go ahead and do it but I wanted to check to see if it has already been done first. Thanks, Nathan Ehresman

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'm in the process of trying to track down the cause of frequent Delayed Write Failures on our network. Most seem to be from database-like files (e.g. firefox/thunderbird sqlite files) that are stored in the users Application Data directory. The AppData directory in our case is on a mapped network drive and excluded from the set of files copied back and forth as part of the roaming

Hello, I am trying to setup a network of 5 XP computers with roaming profiles. I've got a profile set up on the server and I can log on. The problem is that the log in time takes about 10 mins and the log out takes just as long. Here is a link to the log file from the samba server. I have made comments on it to show what is happening on the terminal.

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

Hello. So, my Samba server, as a WINS client, registers itself with the [Windows] WINS server. Then, when (how often) does it refresh its WINS registration ? I have a problem in that the Windows WINS server is losing its WINS db, then my customers can't find my Samba server. Is there a way to instruct my Samba servers to re-register more often ? Thanks.
