>From my investigations, and searching the archives, it seems that smbfs can only mount shares, and not directories under the share i.e. smbmount //host/share /mnt works smbmount //host/share/directory /mnt doesn't work Our W2K3 server has user home directories in a tree where there are no user rights to the next node up the tree (level1), which is the directory on the share, i.e.

Chris; I am not personally aware of any open source solutions for server based virus protection and detection on LINUX, but I have used a commercial product from Trend called Server Protect. More information on it is available at http://www.trendmicro.com/products/splinux/ Additionally, their Interscan Virus Wall is an excellent product for scanning E-Mail, Proxy Traffic, and FTP Traffic

We're using Samba 2.2.5 and 2.2.7 in SECURITY=DOMAIN mode. This morning we lost contact with our PDC, and for about 2 hours, users were unable to logon. After chasing this down, we determined that we were also unable to contact the WINS server defined in smb.conf. Our backup WINS server was available, but it seems Samba only supports one WINS server in smb.conf, so this didn't help

Hi Folks, I'm trying out some ideas for loadbalancing Samba servers with some replication underneath. Right now, we're trying to use DNS round robin, just to see if it works, but it isn't. Our basic config is that we have the same share and NMB server name on every node. Each node has a different IP hostname, which are all round-robin'ed to a single hostname. When we try to

Hi Am noticing smbd processes are running as root and occassionally I see a child process as userid Just curios under what circumstances the smbd runs as user id process ( unix id ) and running as root is a security risk? Thanks in advance -Abdul

Hi, I'd like to reduce the size of the samba binaries. smbd for instance is about 1.5 meg, which is way to much if you ask me. Is there a way to create smaller binaries, maybe by compiling differently? thanx, Dennis ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi anybody knows the difference between SMB that samba is based on and CIFS that microsoft owns. Windows 2k is based on CIFS right? what version and what is Samba 2.2.5 is based on ? SMB or CIFS thanks in advance

Hola folks, How do I configure a share under Samba 2.2 using DOMAIN security to allow all members of a specified NT domain group access to a particular share? For example, something like: [test] comment = Test Share path = /mnt/share/test nt group = Nice-users, Wonderful Users Where Nice-users and Wonderful Users are NT domain groups? So if User X is a member of Nice-users, she would be

I am running samba-2.0.7 on solaris 2.6 in domain mode Windows clients are 98/nt/w2k I was just wondering if 2.0.7 supports NTLMv2 I am asking this because lately some w2k clients are having issues with authentication... how do i check what if when client is requesting SMBnegprot to the server what NTLM version samba server is responding thanks Abdul Javid

Here is my scenario when a client wants to resolve a name on my local network: CLIENT --> VPN --> SAMBA --> DNS The client is set up like so: DNS1 = ISP DNS1 (204.26.64.1) DNS2 = ISP DNS2 (204.26.80.3) WINS1 = my samba1 (10.10.1.5) WINS2 = my samba2 (10.10.1.8) This all _seemed_ to have worked 3 days ago for roughly 6 months but stopped suddenly without me doing anything. When the

Hello Guys, I am having some problems with configuring SAMBA with regards to performance. We are running SAMBA 2.2.3a on Dual PIII 1Ghz machines with 512MB of RAM. The server is running on a default server installation of Red Hat 7.2. We have a 500Gb RAID 5 drive using the Promise SX6000 Raid controller. Currently we are only getting a throughput of ~5MB/S for writes and ~13MB/S for reads.

Has any version of Samba been tested for compatibility with the new Windows Active Directory? We will be upgrading our NT domain to 2000 and creating Active Directory. Currently our solaris samba 2.0.7 server is configured to authenicate users from our NT domain controllers. Will we encounter problems with the 2000 upgrade? Thanks in advance, Cynthia --------------------------------- Do You

Dear all, to your notice:Samba 4.1 pulled from git will not compile under CentOs 6.4 if Glusterfs 3.4 is installed from epel-repo. Make will die with an error concerning "vfs modul glusterfs". There should be more documentation about the "vfs modul glusterfs". Daniel ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel M?ller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik

Hi! I'm running a RedHat 7.2 server with Samba 2.2.3a - but recently I have a problem that mapped drives on Windows 2000 workstations get disconnected and have problems reconnecting (error message is something like "local device name already in use" when I try to browse the drive in Windows Explorer). Any idea what causes this problem ? Regards, /Brian
