How do I install samba on my LINUX machine. All that I have done is unzipped it. Where is the exacutable? -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

After parsing through the various bits of available documentation, I'm forced to bow before the group and ask the following Silly User Question: While I can create and set NT ACLs on files/folder, anything in the root of the share can be deleted by any user who has access to that share. I've munged something in my file permissions. What /should/ the file permissions for a root share

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

Hello, I'd like to know if it's _possible_ to change access control lists on a samba server (samba 2.2.3a, linux 2.4.19-xfs) using the tools MS windows (NT, w2k) provides. I already can change them using chacl, setfacl on the command line - this works without a problem. But the administrators I have to work with have absolutely no experience in *ix, they'd like to use their windows

Hey all, I?m sorry if this has been discussed in extenso before...but I couldn?t find much about that topic. What are the possibilities or workarounds to get something like the "powerusers" group working when using a Samba PDC? Some software seems to depend on that.... Bye, Goetz

Hello everyone. I have a Samba-Server and want to know who creates or deletes files in a Samba-Connection. Is it possible to log this information? The log-files I have only contain information about opening and closing files. I would also prefer to log the IP-addresses instead of the Samba-usernames, when files are opened, closed, created or deleted. Is this possible? Thanks for your help,

[Shane Drinkwater] Daniel, I have the same probelm. These are the steps I did in a previous thread... Jim, I think I found another bug... I really seem to be in printer hell :(.... I found that windows 2k doesn't update its status "ready" or "paused" when used with samba. Here is what I did... 1.) enable all of the lpr/lpd queues. check em' with lpq... 2.)

Hi, We are using samba2.2.6pre2 and still have the problem with the printer duplex/tray settings like in samba2.2.5 (although the duplex/tray options are configured on samba, they are not correctly set to w2k clients) Does anybody know why?

Version info Samba 2.2.5 Cups 1.1.15 I have cups running and am printing out to the minolta 350 fine(network) from the w2k boxes. The (hopefully last) problem is on my windows boxes no print status comes back in the printer window. I do not see a list of print jobs anywhere or what the job status is. This is the first time I have really tried to get printing to work with samba. All my file

I am having the same trouble with automatically mounted home shares with samba 2.2.1a (PDC, domain logins, roaming profiles) and NT4WS sp6a. If I login as one user, logout, then login as another, I can view the previous users home share as well as my newly logged in users home share (lather, rinse, repeat...). The NT box has a machine account, domain logins work, profiles work, login scripts

I have heard something about a 'known bug in 2.2.4' so this might already be known. If so, I just want to get confirmation... I have a new samba 2.2.4 running on a RH7.2 box, running solely as printserv. The spoolss printing functionality is working fine: uploading drivers works ok (aside from a few APW quirks if you change drivers). I'm using CUPS as unix printing backend. The

Hi Jerry I'm still able to recreate failures in with 2.2.4 when interleaving file creation/writing from W2k and NT4 machines to a Samba server. I orginally reported this in 2.2.2a, also 2.2.3: http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2001-December/063396.html http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-January/063483.html http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-February/067221.html I sent

RH 7.2, samba 2.2.5-1 installed via RPM. Using winbind. I'm trying to see how much remote printer administration is possible from a w2k box, and I'm having a few problems, several are probably related. HELP! Few quick questions first, before the 2 big questions: Not sure if it was necessary, but I put root = myNTlogin in smbusers file. Is that completely wrong/pointless? For the

Hi! I'm trying to set drivers for printers such that they will automatically download onto winNT/W2K clients. I've followed the instructions in printer_drivers2.html (I'm using samba 2.2.5). my questions: -do I have to define each printer individually in smb.conf? I know you do for the "old" style of printing, the style that didn't work with NT or W2K. here's what I

I am trying to create a script to set the Samba password. I see in the man pages a '-s' option but can't get the syntax to work. Any help will be appreciated. Brab Bell

List, This e-mail simply links all the various topics as one...I started this thread. Q1- Samba being the PDC thingy Q2- "time server" option in smb.conf file Q3- 'net time' command on Windows clients. A1- Samba doesn't have to be PDC A2- Samba doesn't need "time server = yes" in smb.conf A3- Windows clients were not designed to keep proper time so it's a

Hello samba-insiders, we have a WinNT 4.0 SP5 PDC and our samba 2.2.3a is member of the domain. The roaming profiles of our clients stored on the samba 2.2.3a server. All seams to be perfect but only clients with W2K SP2 cannot use there roaming profiles. ---> "Access Denyed" is the W2K errro message. But if the same user loggs on on a client machine with W2K SP1 all things are ok.

Printing from NT4.0 clients to Samba 2.2.3a using the NT4.0 drivers from HP works fine for me, my only problem has been with W2K clients using the W2K drivers from HP. The drivers from www.hp.com appear to be level 3 drivers, that is where they install, and they are downloaded by W2K drivers if they are available when the NT4.0 drivers are also available. Now, whether these drivers from HP are
