Hi, I'm using Samba 4.1.6 (version included in last Ubuntu LTS version). I've some directories in a share. One of them has an exe file. In root of my share I've a lnk file to this exe. So I've: /home/share/IntegrDom/IntegrDom.exe and /home/share/Install_Client_Scribe.lnk (which is a link to /home/share/IntegrDom/IntegrDom.exe). This point is important, if I remove this lnk

Hello, I have a samba server which has a directory with 11764 files. (The program stores information about jobs and each job has 3 files, nothing I can do about it). When I do a listing of that directory using smbclient, it takes 15+ seconds to complete, same thing on Windows XP. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can speed this up? I did a log on log level 10, it is accessible at

Prior to upgrading from RH7.0 to RH7.3 our Samba filserver worked perfectly. Now we are having locking problems. Initially Iused the same samba binaries built on RH70, I tried rebuilding Samba and reinstalling but it had no effect. If user bon opens an M$-Office file they frequently get a 'file is already in use by bob'. Sure enough smbstatus -L shows the file locked by bob, but bob

I'm looking at migrating a small Netware 3.12 server to a Linux box with samba for a small office. They use a DOS program called `ACCPAC' to do their accounting; both the program and it's data reside on different exported volumes on the netware system. I set up a linux box (for testing- deployment later, maybe) to make sure the program would run with samba before going ahead and just

We have a few old DOS programs which, when run under Windows 2000 is a DOS full screen session are unable to write files on our Samba server. These programs (the "brief" editor, and the "tango" CAD package) are able to write to local files on the Windows 2000 system. I set Samba debug to 10 and found the following reported when Tango tried to write a file:

Hi. Myself and a anti-Micro$oft companion tried to get NT domain logons working yesterday and seem pretty close, but not quite. Samba is 1.9.18alpha3, server is an Ultra-2 running SunOS 5.5.1. Encrypted passwords seem to be working, a la smbclient and mostly from NT, "mostly" because it *seemed* to be working but we did have some problems with home directories in smbpasswd changing

Hi all, I've just install samba2.0.7 on server Tru64. We have one printer HP5Si and others HP4 on the network. Using Samba from our Win95 customer we can print correctly to HP4 but to our HP5si we have the file wanted and one blank page and one page indicated "@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY=" " ".

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete.
