Hello all, I am having a problem with Samba version 2.0.7 running on Solaris 2.7 and the way the log files are kept. In my smb.conf file I have "max log size = 2000", "log level = 2" and "log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%U". All of this works fine and does what one would expect. With this configuration on a busy system when the log file reaches its max size and gets

Try these two: bash> which testparam should tell you which testparam is being started. Is it where you expect it to be? bash> strace /full/path/testparam Gives you information on all system calls called from within testparam. It will give quite a bit of output and somewhere near the end you will find something like: open("/usr/lib/smb.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = ... This would

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to samba. I am trying to mount a Windows 2000 share directory on my linux box using smbmount. I am able to do so successfully. But I do see some errors pop up when I run the command. My mount seems to be stable and it is mounted as rw. # smbmount "//EngineerWKS85/My Drivers" /mnt/samba -o username=MyUsername,password=MyPassword,workgroup=MyWorkgroup

Hello, I have a new RH 7.2 installation (kernel 2.4.7-10) with Samba 2.2.1a and I can't print from my Win2K box. I get an "Access denied: unable to connect" error from the printer entry in Windows. The logs don't seem to be helping me. Here's my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba SMB Server interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 hosts

Hi I'm presently installing 2.2.8a on Mandrake 9.1 I'm a newbie to Linux as well as Samba, so it's been fun... When I first installed Linux I installed Samba from the discs (2.2.7a), but on reading up on the subject it became clear that I should give installing the source a go. My problem is this - I don't think I have rerouted all of the paths to usr/local/samba from what

The Samba 3.0-RC1 "smbcacls" utility is reporting an error when I ask it to display the security information of a file on a Windows 2003 server: [root@demo5 bin]# ./smbcacls --user=SEITZDNSDOMNAIN\Administrator //seitzwin2003/Documents test.txt params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/root/samba/debug/lib/smb.conf": No such file or

hi, masters! i have installed RedHat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.5. i did everything step by step: ./configure , make , make install , etc... i cannot start 'smbd' and 'nmbd' daemons. i try to run them from the command line or from inetd and i get something like: "there is no such command" all Samba commands are in the same hierarchy /usr/local/samba/bin. i can run other

Dear Samba users, I am trying to update our local samba packages to 3.0.28. They are built against heimdal-1.0.1 and openldap-2.3.38. The Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 packages are working fine so far in my limited testing. The problem with heimdal and "net ads join..." has been fixed on all 3 platforms. On the Solaris 8 server, the "net ads join..." works correctly and the

I am attempting to get printing services for Windows 2000 clients working with Samba on a Red Hat 7.2 box. The problem is I can not cancel print jobs (either from a PC or the local smb client). File sharing, and printing other than this problem, work fine. Here is a listing of configuration and system info: 1) the samba packages installed, 2) output of "uname -a", 3) the

Hi, it looks like you have something really messed up on your system. The size of the file is 1243 bytes (from strace) but 0 bytes are being read. If you had no permission to read the strace would have looked like this: open("/etc/samba/smb.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) A quick look at the source code reveals: /etc/samba/smb.conf is opened in file_load

Apologies if this has been covered already, I can't find any helpful hints after 2 hours searching.... Testparm refuses to work on my e250 box - says it can't find the file? Any pointers to useful docs will be greatly appreciated (other than SAMS books and O'Rielly - been there, done that!), especially any relating to Solaris 8 and SAMBA! TIA Jo

I've got a home network with using win2k pro. Do I need to set Samba up as a pdc for the w2k machines to connect? Currently I've got my w2k machines set up as a workgroup and simply set up Samba as a member of that workgroup. My problem is that I cannot connect to it. I see my samba box in my network neighborhood, however, I cannot browse it. I'm running Samba 2.2.2 that came with

Hello. I'm in need of some help to shed some light on a strange problem. The box is running Samba 4.1.7 on FreeBSD 9.2/amd64 and I suspect (though I'm not sure) all troubles started after the upgrade from 4.1.6. The setup is quite simple: no AD, no LDAP, only one server. A command as simple as "smbclient -U user //SERVER/SHARE", if fired up several times in a row on the

I was using smbtar to test backing up an NT server, everything works fine except that for quite a lot of the files it has an error downloading them(probably 2/3 of them actually). All it says is : Error reading file \dir\dir\file. Got 0 bytes Didn't get entire file. size=533, nread=0 I could see this happening if the file were opened exclusively such as the paging file, but to my knowledge

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

I have the following in my /etc/samba/smb.conf, yet i still cannot print from a Windows desktop client. I can see the printer and it goes through the motions of setting up the printer, it just doesn't print. It gives an error message about the network name cannot be found. Yet if I browse thru network neighborhood I can see the printer. What I see thouh is a name for the printer called

can someone please tell me why everyone else can connect to my samba server but me? I mean I even went as far as installing a new OS ("down-graded" back to win2k). I really need help trying to figure out why. If someone can help me in figuring that out, please let me know. And by the way...I already tried the router thing....same issue. So the router doesnt matter because I disabled the
