Guess what, after I posted I came across the list of hotfixes for after SP6 for NT4. It's basically SP7 under any other name - but requires SP6a installed. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q299444& It's a whopping 13.99 Mb to download (or if you believe IE's figures more than their website, 14.1 )

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 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

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

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 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*

Did someone of you find a solution for our problerm ??? I send you the documented as you asked it but I always got the same problems. I tried some possibilites for optimizing my system but I always stay with my problem for writing files. Reading files from my shares is not a problem but writing causes "buffers" problems with windows and windows says he could not write all the blocks.

Hi, I recently installed a new samba server to replace an older Novell machine. Now, we are having performance issues. I have installed many samba servers, and have not run into this problem before. Some background info: The server is an Athlon 1800+ w/ 512MB DDR RAM. We are using software raid on 80GB IDE ATA 100 drives with the VIA 82C3XX chipset. When mirroring the drives, we usually get

One of our employees is having an odd problem with Adobe Photoshop. Files he saves with Photoshop are saved with permissions 777, completely ignoring both the create mask and the default ACL for the directory. Files he creates with other programs have the correct permissions. This has me stumped. It appears I can reproduce the problem at will. Client is Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Adobe Photoshop

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 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

We use POSIX ACLs (under ext2fs) with a fairly complicated set of permissions. Each folder has default permissions that should cause anything created under it to also have the correct permissions. What I'm seeing is occasionally a folder will be created and its default permissions are not set. When files are created under this folder, they of course have the wrong permissions because there

I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't figure it out. After a printing system upgrade, my old PDF-writer script (which acted as an lp input filter) stopped working. I took this as an opportunity to rewrite it to work straight from Samba. But I'm having an odd problem -- I can't find Samba's job file. Here's the entry: [pdf2] path = /export/spool

I'm trying to set up a Linux-based dialin server on our company network. I'd like to have PPP authenticate using winbindd, if possible. I feel like I've almost gotten it to work, but I can't quite get there. Files: /etc/pam.d/ppp: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account required

I use samba every day, and it works perfectly except : I work for a reseller of a contact manager which runs on windows, doesn't support UNC pathnames, but does support mapped drives, to all real windows servers, and with an option, to a novell server. The trouble is, this program uses directory structure intensively and doesn't seem to be able to create directories properly on a
