Does anyone have any idea what can cause nmbd to begin gobbling CPU? We are running Samba 2.2.4 on HP-UX 10.20, having upgraded from Samba 2.0.10 about a month ago. Our clients are a mixture of NT 4.0 and Win2K. Today, we have begun to see widespread client drive disconnections, and nmbd is averaging 60%+ CPU usage with peaks up to 100%. We have heard reports of network problems at our site

Hello All, I recently upgraded one of my HP-UX servers from Samba 2.2.4 to 2.2.7. Since that time, I have noticed that disk activity on the file system where the Samba var directory is kept seems to be higher than I would expect. We have now begun to experience a problem with PC clients running National Instruments' LabView software, installed on a Samba share. When any PC client tries to

I've discovered a couple of things while troubleshooting my printer setup problems. 1. print$ must be 0744. I ran a level-3 debug, and was seeing "chmod failed" errors. Upping it to level-10, I saw something that pointed to unix rights of 0744; my dir's were set to 0755 or 0777...neither worked. When I set print$ and it's subdir's to 0744, the chmod errors went away.

OK, it's working now. I waited until the production lines were undergoing a shift change and brought down all of Samba, then restarted it. Printing now works just fine. I still don't know what caused the problem, I never saw any error messages in the [sn]mbd or client logs, even with the log level turned turned up to 2. Thanks very much for the time and trouble you took to think about

Hello, It seems that I am in printer hell once again :) I am trying to sort out some printer problems with our UNIX server. The basic problem is this. I have a test server to K.I.S.S the problem. On this server I have defined two queues which are csqlis and HPfinley. csqlis seems to work correctly and displays ready. HPfinley always reads Paused on win2k and NT40 clients. The output of the lpq

I just joined this list, If this has been answered before I apologize: I have a Redhat 7.2 box running Samba 2.2.4 I have a few printers running on JetDirect boxes that I am attempting to print to. I used printconf in Redhat to set them up within the linux box. Everything works fine from the linux box. I set them up within samba (see [printers] below), but when I print I get "Failed to

Hello, I have installed Samba version 3.0.13 on a Solaris 9 machine and am trying to add it to an existing NT domain as a member server. I have followed the instructions in Chapter 2 of the Samba HOW-TO collection for adding a samba server as a Domain member. The problem is that when i use the net rpc join command to join the domain, I get the following error: # ./net rpc join -U

I hate to follow up on my own post, but here's an additional bit of info: I've tried changing the "print command" setting in smb.conf to log the command and parameters when a job is printed. However, no output is ever logged; it's acting as if the print job is being spooled but the print command isn't being executed. The print command I added is: print command = echo

Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

Hello everyone, I upgraded my Samba server on my RHL 7.2 box from 2.2.3a to 2.2.7. Almost immediately afterwards, all of my admin users suddenly were unable to access the printers that were being shared by Samba. Any idea of what is wrong and how to fix it? The messages I'm getting are that I do not have enough rights. I am using a Windows 2000 Server PDC and a lot of Windows XP Pro, and

I've had the chance to give 2.2.7a a try, with no change in behavior. LabView still takes several minutes to load, and disk utilization shoots way up. Just to see what would happen, I tried Samba 2.2.5 and got the same results. I then dropped back to 2.2.4, and everything works fine. LabView loads in about 12 seconds, disk utilization stays low during the load, no locking errors appear in

I'm currently having a problem with the new released Samba 2.2.5: I cannot print anymore on my shared printer. What is strange is that It worked fine with samba 2.2.4, but now I got an access denied whenever I try to access the printer... /var/spool/lpd/samba is chmod 777 and the username is in the group lp Here is part of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = HOME netbios name =

It is possible to tunnel various protocols - NNTP, FTP, HTTP etc thru SSH. Is it possible to do the same using SMB? TIA, Alex. -------------------- Mr Alex Meaden Computer Science Undergraduate University of Kent at Canterbury aejm1@meaden.dyndns.org http://meaden.dyndns.org/

Will Samba support "fallback" to local domain for authentication of local users? I joined a RHEL4 server running Samba 3.0.10-1.4E.11 to a Windows 2000/2003 mixed-mode domain today using "security = domain", after having run for many months in "security = user" mode. Authentication works fine for users defined in the Windows domain, but we have a few users (mainly

Hi and hello. Does anyone have installed Samba using the ports-collection in OpenBSD recently? My WindowsXP-computers can't find the computer on the network at all. I use the standard smb.conf wich comes with the port-installation, exept these changes: [global] workgroup = NETDISASTERS encrypted passwords = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2.0./24 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.0

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

does anyone know how to hide a samba server in SMB terms? on an NT machine the command "net config server /hidden:yes" will make the machine vanish from the network neighbourhood but i cant figure out how to do this for a samba server many thanks sincerely, bob reven

Desperate to find out why connecting to a samba share(on an AIX server) from W2K is so slow, I tried connecting to the same share from a Linux box, using smbclient: smbclient \\\\aixserver\\sharedir$ -U lynn The results were amazing. The connection was so MUCH FASTER then connecting from a W2K (pro) workstation: \\aixserver\sharedir$ (in the Start|Run edit box) When I examined the samba log
