Hello list members! I joined this list on May 1st and I can see I have a lot to learn. Thanks to everyone - especially those *@samba.org folks. You are so appreciated. Background in my plea for help: I'm the IT guy for a family owned community bank in Southern Colorado. I am very tired of the limitations and security problems of Micro$oft and have committed to learning and using Linux

Hi All, scenario: Samba Version 2.2.8a-UL running on Suse Linux Enterprise 8 Kernel Version 2.4.21-241-smp as Server Windows 2000 SP4 as Client Trying to import a MS-Foxpro file into MS-ACCESS. MS-Foxpro File residing on Samba Server. The Foxpro filename is 'projects.dbf'. During import MS-Access tries to also open a non existent file 'projects.inf' depending on the path in

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

Hi, I have a strange problem : some users cannot acces to diretcory, the message is "access denied".

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

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. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

What u wrote here: >>once again this folder stdc++.txt does exist.... ...reminds me on having charset problems with samba, doing the same stuff here until I set up the right charsets.

Hi; I'm having a really odd problem with some Windows ME stations connected to a Samba server. From a command prompt on the ME stations, I do the following: dir *.* This works as expected, all the files in the directory are displayed. I then do: dir test.txt And I get: General failure reading drive G Abort, Retry, Fail. The directory contains the file, and the file shows up in a full

Hi ! I've just finished setting up a samba 2.2.6pre2 installation on a SGI running IRIX 6.5.16. I've discovered that logging on a win2000 client, if I create a new file on a test share everything works but when I try to create a new directory I get the following error on win: Impossible to create the folder "New Folder" Impossible to find the specified file.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with offline files and folders on Win 2K (SP4)? They are set up OK but when the Win2K machine goes off line and files are modified it won't sync back when back on the network. Error message from the file sync on windows is 'Access denied' (on the server) But I can easily do the overwrite manually so permissions are OK. Below is the log (level 10)

Hello, We're experiencing a problem with samba after an upgrade, which only occurs when using a strange combination of software. The problem only occurs with samba 2.2 and higher. This problem does not occur with samba 2.0. We tested this with samba 3.0alpha17, 2.2.2, 2.2.4, and 2.0.10 First off, sticking to procedure, TESTs 1-11 as described in DIAGNOSIS.txt succeed. I've gone as

I did now try many different drivers from different vendors none of them worked thus I think there is something else wrong. I then did some more tests, trying to find anything being

Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro. This application is entirely installed in a Windows share and it has a hystory of strange phenomenons. Initially it ran fast on an old NT server (but that server has been replaced). It has strange performance problems with Windows 2000 Server: it runs fast with some servers and slow with

Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible.

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

I have been having an odd problem for some time now and have tried many things to get rid of it, but it has been awhile since I worked on it so I'm starting new on this hoping to finally find a solution. The problem is: Certain users will always get two errors while logging out. All users have roaming profiles, but the problem seems to only show up if users have files on their desktop. Not
