Some use Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html) or DoubleTalk (http://www.connectix.com/products/dt.html). However, we use Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) successfully to share the Unix/Samba file system with our Mac clients. Is there any reason you can't use Netatalk?

Hi, I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about Apple. FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients? I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms of support

Hello, Anyone out there running a production network supporting PC and Macintosh clients using samba and netatalk. we are currently using NT 4.0 with AppleTalk-IP software. Sharing the same files with the Macs and the pc is a must. I read someplace that samba 2.2.2 supports Appletalk. Is this true? Thanks, Joe

I have a feature request for rsync. I tried posting it to the FAQ-o-matic, but that system didn't seem to be accepting new questions. I hope this is an okay list for the request--apologies if it's misdirected. Mac OS X provides support for the Mac file system resource forks and mac specific metadata (e.g., creator and file type). Most Unix applications ignore this information, but it

I have been searching through the docs and on the web to no avail. I work at a university and we are moving our fileservers to new hardware. The problem is, nothing seems to integrate Mac's and Win box's happily. We have a large user base using samba already, but when mac's pick up the same share via CAP, CAP creates files to deal with the dual 'stream' nature of files from a

I've built a new samba server to replace an aging Apple 9500 running 8.6 that is acting as a 'file server'. The other macs run 9.2 and 10.2, which are the computers that will be served (I HOPE!) by the samba server. I have installed DAVE in order to be able to copy the files over to the new server. However, as the files copy, they disappear on the samba server. Someone said it

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [please cc to my address] Dear Samba and Netatalk experts, I've got a server running both samba 2.2.3a as PDC and netatalk (1.5pre7 as supplied by SuSE73).

Hi folks, is anybody using those two products together and can give me any advice on how to do this? My specific issue has been addressed in other posts before, but as nobody responded, it would just now be interesting if anybody at least uses those applications together successfully? greets Malte

Has anyone had success with Appcac Plus (Dos) running on a samba machine? If so, any particular lanpak and version requirements? How about locking - I'll assume oplocks off (like NT). Thanks, Steve -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

I have a client who has a bunch of macs accessing some samba shares, and they write these ._filename and .DS_STORE files all over the place, he would perfer it to not write these files at all. Anyone ran into this issue? what would be the best way to prevent these files from getting written onto the shares? veto? -- Matt Pruett <entelin@logicaldreams.net>

I have a need to use the unsupported kernel for one feature only (AFP/Appletalk support). Never having had to use it before, I''m unsure of what''s all in it other than reading it''s config file. From those that do use it -- is it considered stable enough to use in lightweight production? I''m debating the use of it versus wasting my time rebuilding the normal

Hi I've seen a couple of people post this problem, but I've never seen an answer, and now it's happenning to me. I run Solaris 2.5.1, and samba-1.9.17p1. Every so often a pc can look in the network neighborhood and the samba server just isn't there, though you can still map a network drive by using a UNC pathway: \\server\share so the share is still out there but the server

Hello! [Cc to stable@, for wider audience] The plan is two axe two old networking protocols from FreeBSD head/, meaning that FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE, available in couple of years would be shipped without them. 1) AppleTalk Last time claimed to be supported by vendor in 2007[1]. In practice had very little use since 90th. Discontinued by major routing equipment vendors since 2009[2].

I am trying to set up Samba for the very first time in my life on a SlackWare Linux 7.1 system. I'm using kernel 2.4.2, and the Samba 2.0.7 that comes precompiled with Slackware 7. I'm only moderately clueful at this point, but I have experience with other Linux and networking stuff. I can build Samba from sources if you think that would help. I ran through the diagnostic tests given

Hi all, We're having trouble with Macintosh clients (at least) being disconnected from Samba. Below is one macintosh console output when this happens, filtered by "smb". (Yeah, maybe some clues are missing...) ATM I don't see anything that stands out in the Samba log file. However one thing I don't see in the samba log file is session disconnects. Does anyone

Hi, Is it from my eyes, or Centos (or for that matters, RHEL) doesn't include netatalk ???? If not, does it bring something else for the same porpous ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm regards, M?rio Gamito

More precisely what I've discovered is, at least in the cases of 2.2.8a and 3.0alpha22, when a 64-bit Samba is built with Sun's Forte compiler you'll end up with something incompatible with Mac OS 10.2.3. I always compile Samba myself with Sun's compiler to produce a 64-bit Samba. Well yesterday it came to my attention that Mac OS 10.2.x doesn't work with whats on my main

Hi, I'm in the process of rolling out a brand new server as a Samba4 PDC to a customer with about 30 users. It's going well except for the fact that I now have some serious slow browsing issues from Mac clients, and that?s when only a handful of them are connected to the server. Note that if I install software such as Dave from Thursby on the Macs, the speed issues vanish. Also, browsing

Hey! I have been given the task to mirror our fileserver's filesystem onto a secondary machine for redundancy. The first thing that came to mind was rsync, but now I have few questions as I am far from an expert on this matter. Our file server is running Debian Stable. We use Samba for our Windows users and Netatalk (AFP) for our OS X clients. The filesystem used on the server is
