Hello everybody, I have a strange failure in my samba environment ( samba 2.2.3a ), when users try to open files on a samba share via the windows explorer. I see the following messages in the samba log file : hcnch049 (10.12.48.103) connect to service homedir as user pa015276 (uid=8065, gid=8048) (pid 19565) [2002/08/01 08:54:09, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(758) oplock_break: receive_smb

Hello there. I'm having a few problems using samba 2.2.3a and sharing a paradox database. On the whole everything works fine but (there's always a but), every now and again. a machine's shares will close causing the database to crash (sometimes only that machine) - the other networked machine recover after a few error messages. I guess the easy answer would be to disable oplocks

Hi all, I have a problem opening file on a samba share with Word 6.0. We use samba 2.0.5a running on a HP9000/800 (HP-UX 10.20). Often when try to open file, Word stop responding for some minutes (generally from 2 to 5) and then word succed to open it. In the sambadir/var the corresponding log file is like this : [1999/09/20 17:10:52, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(521) pc000320

SMB.conf, smbpasswd, log files attached to this message. I have several W2k Workstations, with a SAMBA 2.2.3 PDC. Looking at the logs it seems that stevedallas (W2K client) is getting validation errors as "visitor" (which DOES exist...) I am not sure what happened, but I must have removed all of the important parts of the server validation. OUTLAND is domain, W2k/ clients are

Hi everyone, Just today one of our users informed me that a file she was working on in Microsoft Excel 97 got corrupted. She was working on the file directly on our server, which is running Samba 2.2.3a compiled using gcc-3.0.4 on Linux kernel 2.4.17-xfs and XFS-based filesystems. I checked the Samba logs for her machine and found the following in a search for the filename of the Excel file she

We recently tried the upgrade to 2.0 Beta series (just finished testing Beta 4) on our network. Everything works fine with 1.9.18pl10, but once we start 2.0 in its place we start getting the following in the log files: [1998/12/17 05:00:12, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(219) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 246 are available.

Hi All, I am having a problem with Samba that seems to be a bug. I say this because I read the archives and they described a problem similar to mine and were told that it was a bug in older version of Samba and the latest version should have it fixed. I am running what is essentially a RH 7.3 on a 1.4GHz Athon with 1GB or RAM. I compiled Samba 2.2.5 in /opt/samba-2.2.5 and am using the following

Hi, I am running Samba 2.0.3 on Linux Kernel 2.2.5 (SuSE 6.1) in a test environment with a Win NT server (PDC), the Linux box taking over step by step the file- and printserver tasks, and Win 95 clients. Samba is setup with security=domain at this stage. It just happened again what I have seen only a few times before. When I use Outlook 98 on the Win95 machine and want to access the

Hi there everyone! I'm using Samba 2.0.5a-19990721 on a RedHat 6.0 machine with Linux kernel 2.2.12. My system generally works fine, however recently I've had some complaints about some files being corrupted. The latest and best-handled to enable a debugging happened at around the same time. Both clients were using Windows95 OSR2 machines with Excel 97 SP-2. Two users reported the problem

Hi! Been having the same problem with oplocks for a while and have been trying to figure out what's going wrong. The FAQ says that we may have a networking (hardware?) problem, but according to the Linux box's ifconfig results, we have had no errors and no dropped packets on the internal network. I am able to reproduce the error pretty much at will on our network, and it is not isolated

Im running an accounting package (Sage Businessworks) and I'm running into issues with file locking with this program when I put the businessworks data files on a Samba file share. I'd like to get it off a NT file share if at all possible as Im about to decommission our NT server. Im running Samba 2.0.6 Im seeing errors from any machine accessing the Accounting data: ==> log.ryan

I would really appreciate some help figuring out why one of my students has "disappeared" from the user list, and what to do about it. I'm using Samba3 on Fedora; the client machines are running WinXP. The system has been up and running since the beginning of September. Today one of my 4th-graders was unable to log on; she didn't read the error message carefully, so she

Can any one help me ? This has been bugging me for ages. I have been using different versions of samba for a while on different versions of Redhat (7.0, 7.2, 7.3). I regularly get erratic freezing (for about a minute) whenever I right click on files. This has happened on different computers on different sites on different networks, so I assume it's quite consistent This is what I get when

Hi all, I have the following problem. A Linux (2.2.19) machine is running Samba 2.2.2 as a PDC. The clients are Win2K SP2. A user accesses several Excel 2000 files on a share. This sometimes results in long(ish) delays (the user reports around 10 seconds, although this could be longer) and the message from Excel that the file is in use and can only be read. After closing and re-opening the file,

Hi! After more work on the oplock_break problem, I've found the following in my tcpdump-smb logging. It seems that when ost5 (pid=26339 in the logs that follow) requests access to the oplocked file comm.inf from ost6 (pid=5872) the oplock_break failes (this is NOT isolated to any one or two systems on our network, just using these two as an example, and the server reports no dropped packets

Hi! I've been using samba for some time now with about 20 users and with remote installation of Windows XP from dos (TFTPboot image with dos network drivers - ms client 1.6c). On all releases (up to, and including 2.2.5) a recursive xcopy (from dos) copied all files normally. When I upgraded to samba 2.2.6, the recursive xcopy (win98 version of xcopy.exe, copying from a mapped drive)

I am having quite some difficulty adding printer drivers to the print$ share of my Linux box. Here are the details: Debian Gnu/Linux with kernel 2.4.18 on a Sun Ultra 2. Samba version 2.2.3a. CUPS version 1.1.19. I am following along in the printer_driver2.txt file. Here are the relevant lines of my smb.conf: [global] username map = /etc/samba/user.map workgroup = CDE server string = %h

I keep getting the following in the log files now that we've upgraded to the latest cvs 2.0 branch. Any ideas what we can do to fix this? Thanks!
