Has anyone figured out a good automated way to migrate files from Windows Server to Samba Server without compromising file ownership and permissions? We could just log on as each user and then drag and drop using windows explorer to preserve the permissions and ownership rights but that is not a very efficient method. We are using Samba with winbindd against a windows 2000 Domain

My samba server works in a NT 4.0 domain. The users can print fine (mostly Win9x). Now i'm trying to use Win2K workstation to upload drivers. I can see the printers, the properties are available but we i try to add a driver it fails with the following error : "Can't install driver Intel Windows 2000. Can't compleet statement" (translated from dutch). I've include my

Has anyone ever written a script to remove individual shares from the smb.conf file? I am trying to put together a script that will add & remove multiple shares at once by giving a <sharelist as input to the script. Adding shares is easy because I can just append the shares to the smb.conf file, but removing individual share entries within the smb.conf file without messing up the

A stupid question. With new printing system (spoolss) how people restrict access to the printers ? It was clear with the old system when each printer was in a separate share. I could assign a list of valid users for each printer share. TIA. -- Yuri Pismerov, Sr. System Administrator, TUCOWS.COM INC. (416) 535-0123 ext. 1352

In the documentation the "oplocks = yes" option is give in an example, as the default for this parameter. However, I needed to turn oplocks off, and so assumed that the command "oplocks = no" would work. It doesn't, instead I found that "oplocks = false" does. There needs to be some boolean fixing done, or at least documentation should reflect this strangeness.

I installed the printer patch on 2.2.4 on my Linux 7.3 box, reconfigured it (I think I did things in the correct order:configure,make realclean,run patch,configure,make,sh.makerpms.sh), created a new rpm, uninstalled the old samba, reinstalled the new rpm, fixed the conf files, reloaded samba and now my printers appear as "HPLASERJET on _smbserver". HPLASERJET is queue name which is

Hello all, I've got a strange problem with Samba 2.2.4. I'm able to associate print drivers to printers (raw queue in cups). My clients are able to see that the drivers belong to the printers, and they download them, but as soon as the server reboots, I lose my driver associations and I need to once again specify a driver on the windows end. The Print server was an upgrade from Samba

Seasons Greetings to One and All ....Hope this is the right place for this. I have just set up a samba 2.2.2 domain server (PDC) all, pretty much according to the howto's. All is working including the authentication of a win2K/SP2 box, pretty chuffed with all this actually just aquired Linux recently from a magzine. I have one problem, that is in trying to get the win2k box to add a shared

I have been using samba 2.2.2 for quit awhile running with security= share in my company. I looked into the /var/lock/samba and found a growing file unexpected.tdb. Is there a way to trim it down while samba is running or do I have to start and stop samba? Is this an expected behavior? TIA Joseph Loo

Greetings, All, I've run into an interesting problem with Samba 2.2.2 and dealing with printer drivers for Windows 2000. I can install the drivers for nt4/2000 okay, I can install the drivers for win98 okay. The part I thought was really neat was how I could set the printer options for Windows 2000 in the driver install so that when a user installed the driver the correct printer

Hi All, To clerify the problem, firstly I have to give you some details of our environment.. Linux Redhat 7.3, Samba 2.2.4, Win2000 workstations... We are trying to use Linux servers as file and print servers. Our client are Windows2000 workstations which will use Linux boxes as file and print servers... Problem with : winbindd Signal 11 error Suspect : When winbind starts, it can get all

Greetings. Here's my scenario: 1) I have a linux box running samba 2.2.3a, configured as a PDC. 2) I have a WinXP laptop that attempts to use the printers that are configured on the samba server. NOTE: XP Laptop is NOT, repeat: NOT, in the domain that the samba box controls. The XP boxs is part of a workgroup instead. 3) XP box can see file shares on samba box fine. Just printers, at the

I have a SUN/Solaris system that functions like a web proxy server. In our corporate environment, PC client/brower can access a web server using URL with WINS name as well DNS. Can Samba be configured to on the system to support/resolve WINS names by pointing to corporate WINS servers - in addition to DNS (configured in /etc/resolv.conf)? Thanks.

Has any version of Samba been tested for compatibility with the new Windows Active Directory? We will be upgrading our NT domain to 2000 and creating Active Directory. Currently our solaris samba 2.0.7 server is configured to authenicate users from our NT domain controllers. Will we encounter problems with the 2000 upgrade? Thanks in advance, Cynthia --------------------------------- Do You

Hi, I'm working on a printing project consolidating a bunch of NT machines with a Solaris printing machine. I'm concerned about the scalability if I increase the number of printers from say 20 too 300. How does it effect the response time for looking up and changing device setting etc. Thanks Gunnar Gunnarsson

I'm currently using Samba 2.2.5 on a Mandrake 8.0 box with cups 1.1.4. I have several printers shared that are accessed from winNT/2k/xp boxes. When I right click on the printer or select printer properties, or go to print from any of those other boxes, the response is slower than molasses. I have an identical machine running WinNT Workstation that was previously our print server. It is

When 2.2.4 was released, I updated my cvs and did ./configure and make (no special options). Since I came in somewhat early today and nobody was around I did the make install. Everything ran fine until I tried to load a particular file and I'm receiving the following error and unable to open the file on a network share. If I place the file on a local drive it loads fine. Permissions and

It would appear that communication with the PDC is fine - all other commands (-t, -m, -s SID, -n name, etc.) work OK, it's just the group/user enumeration calls that appear to fail. Has anybody got any ideas whatsoever - I think it has to be a problem on the NT PDC side as, according to the debug log at level 10: 000018 samr_io_r_query_dispinfo 0018 total_size : 00000000 001c

I see in my workstation log trying to connect to my samba server an attempt to find my username. If I do wbinfo -u | grep -i davidsha, it returns INS+DavidSha. Do I need to change something so that it tries more combinations or something? I thought just passwords were case sensitive.
