Ok, I should be able to start swat with xinetd, but I can't seem to get anything to start. 1. How do I tell if swat is running (other than trying to browse to aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:901) 2. Can someone give me an idea of what and where I need commands for xinetd. Server is RH7.2, Samba 2.2.3a, following file "swat" is in /etc/xinetd.d/ ## /etc/xinetd.d/swat service swat { port

Hi All, I don't know whether here is the right place to ask as this question is probably more Windows related than Samba related but I thought someone here might have some ideas. I've got a Samba 2.2.5 PDC (running on FreeBSD but that doesn't really matter) serving Windows XP machines. The roaming profiles are set to be stored in a different share to the users home directory so

The only docs I found on getting SWAT to run, showed editing the inetd.conf file. As this version of RH (7.3) only uses xinetd things don't fit exactly. I have gone through and did everything that one should do for inetd and it still will not work. I don't normally use the thing, but this client will need the more simplistic interface to add shares, etc.

After installing these rpm's, no swat executable can be found... I've built it from the sources and gotten it working, but is this something that needs to be corrected in the rpm? Has anyone else noticed this, or did I do something silly that I haven't realized yet?

Aaaah, thanks. When someone writes one sentence that solves the whole day of problems, it makes you realise the power of knowledge! Thanks again, Trevor. ======================= Stussy said:"Knowledge is King!" =======================

Hey all, I've got a few WinXP workstations logging into a 2.2.4pre (CVS from April 30th, around 8 p.m. PDT) PDC, and I'm having some sort of odd problem with roaming profiles. The XP workstations can successfully (it seems) retrieve and save thier profiles to the samba box; however, if I log off a user, say "gary", from one workstation, and travel to the next one, and log in

I just configured a server to use the CUPS printing system and have all my printers shared out by Samba. I made all the necessary changes to the smb.conf file but don't want to restart samba in the middle of the day since it is a high traffic server and don't want to break connections. Is there a way to just have samba load all these printers without restarting the service????

Since I haven't had a response to my earlier post, I'm reposting this with some more info. I'm running Samba version 2.07 on Redhat Linux 7.0. Here is my smb.conf file: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from greyowl.swamp.ca (192.168.0.5) # Date: 2002/06/26 00:29:59 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SWAMP netbios name = BALDEAGLE server

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

Hello all. I'm trying to create the rpm for Samba 2.2.5. I haven't uninstalled the other version as we are using it. I got the tar.gz from the Samba web site. I type # sh makerpms.sh and this is what I get this @ the end: checking statvfs64 function (SVR4)... no checking statvfs function (SVR4)... no checking for 3-argument statfs function (DEC OSF/1)... no checking for two-argument

Hello All. I'm using Windows 2000 prof on a NT domain with samba as the PDC. The printer is connected to the samba server via a usb port. I've tried all that seemed obvious to me, and still the same message. Ive made the printer share directory belong to root and group owner every, which has everybody who should print belonging to that group and chmod 770. I've made the printer$

Hi, I'am running a small samba server at work with 10+ users in the domain (all of them added with W2KSP1 and 2.2.3 or 2.2.4). I uppgraded to 2.2.5 a while back and has not experienced any problem with it, but when I try to add a newly installed W2KSP1 client to the domain I get the following entries in the log file: Sep 10 13:29:55 linus smbd[17681]: [2002/09/10 13:29:55, 0]

Hi, Hoping you can help. I've updated my samba server (PDC) from 3.0.10 to 3.0.14a as part of updating from FC3 to FC4. I now find I cant see inside any of the shares, even though I can see the share names themselves and the directories are quite readable to Linux processes. So, e.g. I can see that I have a share "Users", but not the contents of it. With one exception all shares

Hello All Samba-list Members, I have installed a Samba 2.2.7, the samba-latest.tar.gz, as a PDC on a Redhat8.0 GNU/Linux server. ( Of course, I first uninstalled the original samba that came with the Redhat installation CDs by rpm -e samba*.) The installation was successful. Then I modified /etc/services and /etc/xinetd.d/swat as suggested in the installation document uncompressed from

I know I am doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I have downloaded the samba-latest.tar -- 2.2.5; gzip -d; tar -xvf. aix 5.1 cd /usr/local/samba-2.2.5/source ./configure (having gcc installed) bottom few line of screen after configure finishes: checking if large file support can be enabled... yes checking whether to support ACLs... no checking whether to build winbind... no,

[Shane Drinkwater] Daniel, I have the same probelm. These are the steps I did in a previous thread... Jim, I think I found another bug... I really seem to be in printer hell :(.... I found that windows 2k doesn't update its status "ready" or "paused" when used with samba. Here is what I did... 1.) enable all of the lpr/lpd queues. check em' with lpq... 2.)
