similar to: Drive Mapping issue on W2K

You're going about this in the wrong way. Review the following piece of man-page: logon drive (G) This parameter specifies the local path to which the home directory will be connected (see logon home) and is only used by NT Workstations. Note that this option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon server. Default:

Hi, I'm having some trouble using rsync on W2K under Cygwin. We are using it to back up the W2K machine to a Linux machine. We are using the patched version of rsync 2.5.6 that allows it to run faster on NT/2K when calculating the changes. We can backup a directory without a problem, but in this case, we want to backup everything, so the directory we are backing up is \. We do not run rsync

Hi, I recently installed a new samba server to replace an older Novell machine. Now, we are having performance issues. I have installed many samba servers, and have not run into this problem before. Some background info: The server is an Athlon 1800+ w/ 512MB DDR RAM. We are using software raid on 80GB IDE ATA 100 drives with the VIA 82C3XX chipset. When mirroring the drives, we usually get

Hi Elliot, I couldn't find anything related to smbpasswd expiry. Since u have "unix password sync = true", just a wild guess, if u could turn off password ageing in unix passwd file (man passwd for more detail) and see if problem persists.

Our office is running Samba 2.2.x on Red Hat 7.x We have a mixed bag of Win98 and recent W2K clients. The new W2K clients have no trouble connecting to the current shares including a home share: [homes] comment = Home Directory writeable = yes read only = no browseable = no create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 hide dot files = yes veto files = /desktop/ veto files = /.*/ inherit

Hi I've just built a Debian 3.0 Woody Samba server with version 2.23a. Using stable rather than unstable. After putting it into a network with another Samba server I find that the Win98 client machines can't connect to it but they can connect to the other server. The other server is set to OS level 65 and the new one is somewhere below that. I've run all the usual tests and they

Hi, I have Slackware 8 Linux Box with Samba-2.2.5 and HP LJ 1200 printer shared by samba (with LPRng). The problemm is: when printing from W2K clients users cannot change print options (like portrait/landscape page orientation, number of copies etc). When printing from Win98 clients all is ok. Could someone help vt with this problemm? -- Sincerely, Elman Efendiyev elman@megacom.com.ua

I'm running Samba with automount to automatically mount CDs in a server. These CDs need to be changed periodically, so I wanted to use automount so that they could be changed by the users fairly easily. We use logon scripts to map the CDs to drive letters when users logon. Unfortunately, it seems that having a drive mapped is treated like the drive is being used, so as long as there is

Hi all, I try to explain my strange Samba problem: I've done a linuxbox with Mandrake 8.2 distro; installed Samba 2.2 packages and two printers attached via parallel port: one works with the motherboard built-in parallel port, the other is connected via a pci parallel port card. Both works fine on win2000 clients (and on the linuxbox, too :); on windows 98 clients, both printers are

After an upgrade of debian/stable-> testing, samba got upgraded from 2.x to 3.0.2a. And now my Win98 clients can't connect. To make matters worse nothing is showing in the logs when they try to connect. W2k connects fine and there is logging that they connect and disconnect from shares. I double checked encrypted/plaintext passwords on the win98 box, but neither mode helps. Any help

I've got an issue with remote files being deleted after the local file has been deleted. For some reason, this isn't happening. I'm running rsync 2.5.6 protocol 26 (yes, I know there are newer versions, but logistics dictates that I can't upgrade right now). I have used the --delete, --delete-after, and --ignore-errors options in all sorts of combinations. An example of the

Has anyone had success with Appcac Plus (Dos) running on a samba machine? If so, any particular lanpak and version requirements? How about locking - I'll assume oplocks off (like NT). Thanks, Steve -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hi there. I have a windows 2000 Server in ADC mode. I have a samba 3 box as a domain member to the ADC where security=ADS I auth fine to this box from Windows 2000/XP clients. I see shares on the domain member with no issues. winbind works fine, in that it auth's ok etc etc Windows 98 clients are configured to log into the Bionomics domain, and do so with the W2k Server with no problems.

Hiya I'm using Samba as my PDC, and this is fine for desktops since most of them are still Win98. However, the bosses laptop has W2k and used to work fine under the Novell client. ie there was one user on the laptop and those setting were used when logged into Novell and when not connected to the net. Now, with the domain we seem to be stuck with having 2 users, one the local machine

Hi, i'm having a little problem with samba (or Windows98 ?). The story : I'm using the program WHFC (Windows Hylafax Client) on a W2k and Win98-client. Samba 2.2.5 is running on Suse LINUX 7.1 Kernel 2.4.18. The WHFC-program uses a share on the LINUX-server (actually the share contains tif-images of received faxes). No problems with W2k, but with Win98. The WHFC-client shows the

I have a new Debian testing machine running the Debian Samba 3.0.5. Everything seems OK except that I cannot get users to have domain admin rights. I have Windows XP workstations. The workstations join and log onto the domain fine. A "net groupmap list" yields: server:/home/tnolen# net groupmap list System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests

I have a Debian server running samba 2.2.3. We are running Peachtree 2002 (version 9) and we have issues with the data being on the server. First, during the install, Peachtree says that our server doesn't handle long file names. Obviously it does, but we have to install it by acting like the data is on the local machine and then changing the .ini file to point the data directory to the

Hi, I've noticed that my Win2K registry just won't load correctly. In Win2K regedit nothing shows up at all - not even home registry values - and in Win98 regedit (running in my w2k configured wine) only few values show up, I believe those are my home registry values. Here's the relevant stuff from config, built with winesetup: [Drive H] "Path" = "/mnt/winnt"

Good afternoon all, I have a few questions, and just joined the list and plan on staying. I had 2 Samba servers at work, both running apache, etc, that we develop on from work and at home over a vpn. My vpn upload speed is 25K, and at one time windows 2000 could save a document in less than 4 seconds from across the vpn using textpad. We recently downgraded our crappy 7.1 redhat versions to 6.2

Hello all together, I've got here a very strange problem. I've set up a vpn with freeswan between two subnets over the internet. Now I can ping from behind to behind. With Windows 98 I can search a computer which is in the other subnet and find the the computer. But...only the other computer is NOT a samba server. Means a w2k or w98 is ok. If I'm looking for the samba in the other
