This is probably more of a Cups issue, however, I have a question about the spool files from sharing Cups printers in Samba. The spool directory on my Samba server seems to be holding print job files from past print jobs. I'm wondering what is the proper way to eliminate these files? Any help is appreciated. Tim

I've downloaded Samba 2.2.6 (binaries) from SCOs Skunkware site, but when I try and run smbclient I get a message : dynamic linker : smbclient : error opening /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.4 Killed I've checked and there is no libncurses.so.4 (or libncurses.<anything> for that matter) on the system. I've also failed to find anything relevant in either the list archive or SCOs

I'm not quite sure whether this is a plain browsing problem, or a wins problems, or ... I had wins running on one machine (Samba(2.0.5a)/SCO Unix), but my main file server on another (Samba (2.2.1a)/Linux). I moved the wins support to the Linux server, and at the same time I made the Linux server the Domain Master Browser, but now some devices have dissapeared from the network. The devices

We are currently trying to access an IBM AS/400 (iSeries) system with a Mac system running OS X. We have setup a share drive thru the AS/400's NetServer. We have successfully connected to the shared drive but all characters in are not legible. Looks like the code page is not set correctly, also when we click on an object it disappears from the screen. Is there additional configurations steps

Hello. We have an Apple LaserWriter8500 printer that has a duplex printing unit. The printer is configured to print on both sides of a sheet by default (e.g. if I print a document with unix lpr command, they print on both sides). However, I couldn't manage to make my Win2k desktop to print dual-sided output on that printer although I am sending the jobs to the same LPRng queue (routed through

Hi, I am new to this list but I have tried to search for answers to this one. Ever since we moved the *.fp5 files off a windows 2000 server and onto samba filemaker is now 20% the speed it was before. It was happening with samba 2.2.3a and I have just recently upgraded to 2.2.5 and it didn't fix the problem. I suspect it's a locking issue and the speed of getting locks on the files.

Hi List. I have some weirdness here which I have no idea how to resolve. I have been runing samba for the las two years on a suse 8.2 box with no problem at all. Last week I had a file system failure and was forced to rebuild. Rebuilt using SuSE 9.1 and SAMBA 2.28 When I started restoring data, I noticed that all files with .eml extensions could not be written to disk.!?!? As an experriment, i

Hi All, Has anyone managed to get a Mac (OS X I'm using) to authenticate to a Samba/NT domain? I've been playing with this all day, and am not getting very far - smbd, nmbd and winbind (3.0.2) all run fine, I can see the domain, can connect individually to windows shares, wbinfo shows users (and groups, I assume), but there's no hints as far as what the equivalent to

I have users that belong to several groups. I want a logon script to be run for each of the groups to which a user belongs. For example, when I logon, I want admin.bat, users.bat, and someothergroup.bat to run. On Novell I used to use 'if Member of groupName...', but I don't know how to do this in Samba.. Thanks, Dean

Hi to all. We have a samba-2.2.8a-220 Server. The server works still fine with several clients (W9x, W2k, WXP and smbmounts via Linux). But now I have to connect an Apple OSX and now I have one problem. From OSX I can connect to the shares, browse the file listing. But when a file is copied into a share, the file is on the destination with 0 (zero) Bytes filesize. The linux uid and gid are

Hi. Some of my friends like to drag their computers to my place for LAN parties sometimes and I've set up a DHCP server on my Linux gateway for easy configuration. When someone sets up a game server on their computer, we still have to resort to broadcasting via the voice-over-air protocol to get the IP to everyone. Today I set up a WINS server with Samba on my Linux gateway and all of my

I'm having trouble printing to a HP LaserJet 6MP Postscript printer. I'm using CUPS and normal UNIX printing works fine. I've tried to configure SAMBA for point and click printing. That all seemed to go okay except that what is printed is: ===================================================== -12345X@PJL JOB @PJL SET RESOLUTION = 600 @PJL SET ECONOMODE = OFF @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE =

Hi List, maybe i missed a hint on google, but i didn?t find a answer to following question: is it possible to cascade the logon scripts...? for example: there is a standard script for all client-pc?s called: netlogon.bat and in addition there is for some client-pc?s a additional script called by the %m switch in smb.conf kind regards Arno

Is there anyway we can stop this 'need Employee' or other kinds of spam that seems to infiltrate this mailing list? Joe

Hi: I have a question regarding printer support/services. Does Samba support shared printers directly attached to a Windoz or Linux machine? (i.e. attached via a parallel port or USB port to either the Samba machine or one of the Linux or Windoz boxes). If so, how does one configure Samba and/or the other network machines to configure the printers to make them reachable to the rest of the

Hello fellow samba users, Our company uses samba for all fileshares/printing/PDC on two SUN E3500's. We like to replace these with about 10 Linux 19" XEON (pizza)boxes. The question: Are there any implementation out there using a loadbalancing cluster doing samba? A simple diagram of the setup I have in mind: Users (+/- 500) ||| Headnode(Director 1) - Headnode (Director 2) | Worknode -

Hello, I have problems with people having different groups who access a shared directory via samba. The requirements are: 1. There are people with group "group1" and group "group2" in /etc/passwd 2. 3 people from group "group1" and 2 people from group "group2" are allowed to access a shared directory and have read/write access to that directory. Our

Hi, I'v been googling around for information using a samba server as authentification and fileserver for mac os x clients. At the moment I have all useraccounts and (home-)shares configured on the samba server and I can manually connect to the server from the os x clients. My Questions: Has someone a how to configure a loginscript for mounting the samba shares? Or has someone a how to
