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 am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

I have Samba 2.2.4 installed on Redhat 7.3. I was trying to set up printers through it and everything works great on from a Windows 2000 Professional Client, but a Windows XP Client dies a miserable death when trying to view the properties of a printer. On the Windows XP Client side, I get: Properties clould not be displayed, procedure could not be finished On the Redhat 7.3 side, I'm seeing:

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

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

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

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

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

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 do not know whether this is a samba problem or an NT feature, but it seems only to occur with samba boxes, so it could be samba's fault: The NT PDC (moritz) runs also the WINS server. It regularly forgets the IP addresses of our samba servers: # nmblookup -U moritz -R hni-gate querying hni-gate on 131.234.166.19 name_query failed to find name hni-gate I then just have to stop and

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

FYI... If anyone is interested, i just finished implementing supporting for exporting printer & printer driver information stored in the various tdb's via the registry RPC routines. This code has been checked into HEAD already. I'm not planning on including it in any 2.2 bug fix releases, but thought some people might be curious to try it out. My main intent for implementing this

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

Hi: I have a problem with my Samba print queue, I think. I started a print job back in June and the queue seemed to get overloaded. Since that time I can't print to that printer through the Samba queue. Even stranger, every couple of days random pages print out from that job! This has been going on all Summer. I would like to clear the queue and get Samba's printing queues up and

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

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
