Don't forget to add the #PRE after the host info; that way it preloads it. Create one lmhosts file for the Win boxes, and copy to either \windows (win9x) \winnt\system32\drivers\etc (NT/Win2k/XP) then open a DOS Prompt and type nbtstat -R to flush/refresh the cached info. The samba box's hosts go in /etc, /lmhosts go in /etc/samba (if you're using the current defaults. Put the

All I will try to keep this short but I can't get any of my windows boxes to join the domain they include winXP, win2k, win9x. Server FreeBSD 4.5 Samba from Ports 2.2.2 Celery 400 with 512 meg of ram 120gig of Raid 5 U2W drives I added the machine names to samba in freebsd you must use vipw because there is no adduser plus it has a hard time with the $ at the end of the machine

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

Hi, I'm running Linux 2.2.2 w/ Samba 2.0.2, using the smbmount that comes with Samba 2.0.2. I noticed that when I mount shares, smbmount sticks around, almost like a daemon: [root@jason /root]# smbmount //XXXX.gatech.edu/XXXX$ "XXXXXX" -U jkau -c "mount /mnt/cnd" < /dev/null > /tmp/smbmount.out [root@jason /root]# ps ax | grep smbmount 10678 ?

Hi: I have an rsync server providing four separate areas for rsync clients to connect to. I only have one client and it is running a backup script. The nightly backup runs fine through the first three shares until it gets to one called [webbackup]. This directory contains only 6 files and the first file it tries to get is about 400 meg in size. It begins to get this file and then the

All, I have been terribly pleased with openbsd 3.2 I was using it as a mail/samba server with postifx on a pentium pro 200 with 1 gig of memory. Well I wanted to add a larger harddrive than what I have in it now only 6.4 gig. Well the machine would not see it and for some reason after hours and hours of trying I can't get a tekram 395UW and a 18gig scsi to be the boot drive and having failed

All, First off I would like to say the book "The Official Samba-3 HowTO and Reference Guide" is awesome I purchased it off Amazon a couple of weeks ago. Ok now on to my problem. I have samba installed and configured and joined the domain no problem. When I run wbinfo -u I can see my domain users, when I run wbinfo -g I can see all my domain groups, BUT if I run

FreeBSD 4.10 Latest version of Samba Domain Member WinXP machines with SP2 Why do these errors continue to come up, it does not seem to be hurting a thing as the box is working perfectly no complaints other than these errors in my log file.

I can't seem to be able to mount any windows shares all I get is this error smbfs: can't get handle to requester (no /dev/nsmb* device) a quick search on google leads me to believe it is broken, can anyone help me get this fixed?

All I got my samba server to join my win2k domain without any problems. But if I change the config to read security=domain it prompts the user for a username and password. If I change it to security=server it does not prompt for user names. I did some searching in the list came up with a few emails and this website http://www.sugoi.org/bits/index.php?bit_id=10 but still no change. In the /etc/host

Hi, I am trying to get samba 3.0.7 working with our win2k DC. I installed samba from the ports collection, so the kerberos library looks to be the heimdel version. I can use kinit to create a ticket and it authenticates against the DC just fine. However when I attempt to use "net ads join" it fails with the following response: [2004/11/09 16:32:30, 0] utils/net_ads.c:ads_startup(183)

Hey this group uses exchange for the mailing list? This can't be true what is with all the virus warnings saying it came from exchange. But not only that it said it was deleted and that is not true when the mail reached me it still had the virus attached and my virus scanner deleted it. When these messages are sent to the group aren't they scanned before being sent to the list? Just

Can someone look at my config and let me know why my home drive might not be mapping everything else is working, also can someone point me to some docs to say exactly what the best practice is for setting permissions on the profiles share. # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DIGITALRAGE netbios name = HARRIER encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted =

Has anyone else seen this but I just came across this on google trying to research my problem. Hi, I've always found adding w2k workstations to a samba server a bit 'hit and miss'. A couple of things I did which helped around this problem when I had it: 1. Define root as a samba administrator 2. Created a user root (with same password) on the w2k machine - set as an

Good morning all and hope you all enjoyed the 4th. I have a FreeBSD box setup with Samba as a PDC for win9x win2k and winxp. Everything is working beautifully except for one thing, my win2k boxes and winxp boxes with profiles. Of course I had to have the profiles directory setup for win2k and xp clients to join the domain for some reason they were looking for that. Anyway on to the problem

I have been pulling my hairs out about this for a while now. Running the latest version of SuSE with all patches applied, I have my machine joined to the domain no problem. But when I go to use mount -t smbfs I get this error.

I have seen a ton of messages on the list in the archives in reference to this but have not been able to find an answer to it.

Phil: Thanks for the reply. I hope you are enjoying your leave and that you are doing it someplace nice like in the Greek Islands or some other similarly sunny place! I have successfully logged in from a Win2K computer that I had previously joined the domain with! :)) This makes no sense, but here is what I did: To recap, I had successfully joined the domain with a win2K pro workstation into

workgroup but also a domain logon server. The NT box happily accepted mounts from users originally only known only to Samba. Everything fine again, but the next day they came in and told me about people finding complete new mounts on their workstations. To describe this: A user normally has C: local H: \\SAMBASRV\HOMES Z: \\SAMBASRV\HISGROUP These are mounted by a local script and
