similar to: [2] Samba for a Corporate File Server?

Hi guys, I'm been following samba for six or seven odd months now in preparation for moving our organisation over to a file server which is a little more cost effective than the Micro$oft alternative. We are currently running with about 30 users on a Windows 2000 Small Business Server. Do you see any problems in replacing this server with a linux box running Samba? Is the file

Hello all, I have always experienced VERY SLOW response times on opening an EXCEL sheet ever since I had started to use SAMBA WAY back. I have been hoping that a newer release would fix this one issue but it never seems to happen. Does anyone know what could be the problem? I can open the same Excel sheet on a Novell server and it opens instantly. I have no problems with WORD documents. They

hello there ! I have one problem. We have a catalogue on a CD which is being used frequently so it's copied on a Novell network. But now we have to move it on a Samba box. But when two (or more) users try to run it, the second user (and all the rest) gets a message that the program couldn't access one file. The first user runs it perfectly. Here is a snippet from a log file: =cut=

Hello, I updated our main server to 9.2-STABLE today and afterwards I noticed a bunch of these messages, does anyone know what they mean? I was unable to find anything on this error message. Things appear to be working OK so far.

I'm not sure if this is a samba problem or just a problem with the app. I'm unable to an application from a shared drive "\\ucd01\protel\". I've mapped the network drive "k:\protel\"and the apps ini file points to it but gives me an error message suggesting it can't see the drive. XP can however and I can browse it in explorer. A strange thing is that when I

I thought I had things figured out, but guess not. I have multi-user Quickbooks databases that functioned fine on a Novell server but are behaving badly on a Samba share. I have created a separate share for the Quickbook databases, users are running Win XP Pro, latest patches, and the Quickbooks application installed on the desktop. It is a multiuser version. Server is RedHat ES 3, Samba

Hi, We are using few applications developed either with Visual Basic or Microsoft ACCESS based on MDB database files. These applications were previously running OK when using a NOVELL 3.12 server. In order to reduce the amount of protocols on the network and other benefits, we've decided to replace the NOVELL server with SAMBA 19.18p10 (RH 5.2) running on a PII-300Mhz with 96Mb of RAM. We

Can samba connect to an NFS share and then re-export that share so my windows XP users can connect to it? Basically I have a NFS share that all of my windows XP users need read-only access to. The goal of this project is to replace an old MS Gateway Services for Novell server (using IPX) with something that can do the same thing but over IP. I am pretty sure Novell and AD can share files

Samba Users, I am looking for a Large Scale SAMBA success or failure story. I have been using Samba for a long time without any issues, however replacing many Netware servers with Linux/Solaris running Samba is a different story. Here is what is running through my mind 1. Novell 4.x causes a never ending stream of problems, including attacking and flooding the network with NDS tree fragments.

Hi, I just install 2.2.2 in a Red Hat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.16 on ext 3 + lvm. The problem are the locks!!!!!! I've 5 users working in .dbf + cdx (foxpro) files with an 16 bits application.

I think this is a recurrence of an old bug. Running Samba 3.5.4 with CTDB on GPFS 3.4.0.6 with the vfs_gpfs module using CentOS 5.6. It is a vanilla CentOS RPM's with the vfs_gpfs module a self compiled add on. Running with NFSv4 ACL's. Basically what happens is when a user saves a file in Office 2010 (no Office 2007 to test with) with Windows 7 on the Unix side the permissions on the

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 all... Last monday i migrated form novell 4.0 to Samba 3.0 PDC. The server acts as a file server for 30 workstations (Win2000) using an aplicattion that combines clipper (with .dbf files) and delphi (uses paradox .px and .db). Its perfomance has been very poor since i changed the server. PLEASE HELP ME, since its in production and i really don know what to do. thanks, sebastian davancens
