Hello all! We recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.3 to Samba 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 on debian 3.0. Ever since then users are unable to change their own passwords on their W2k machine. What happens is when they try to change it a process (passwd) gets stuck with the users name. The only way to fix this is to kill the passwd process the user started. I haven't changed the "passwd chat"

Hi, I'm running samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian Linux (i686). The network is 100Mbit switched and I can ftp data off the server at 9Mb/sec. If I use either the Finder GUI under Mac OS X or mount manually via Terminal, and then try to copy a file I get less than 64k/sec! I don't ever remember having much better speeds than this while using the various versions of Mac OS X. Windows

Hi all, I have been using Samba 3.0.2a-1 on Debian for a while now, no problems. I upgraded to 3.0.4-5 and now I can't see any printers as shares. I have tried everything I can think of with smb.conf and still no printers show up. Below is my smb.conf and printcap files, does anyone know what's wrong here? Thank you in advance, Darren -------/etc/samba/smb.conf--------- [global]

Thats the diagnosis: transfering the same file via smb, scp and ftp I got big speed differences. SMB: file : 1Gb, transfer rate 15-35 kb/s SCP: file : 1Gb, transfer rate 360-780 kb/s FTP: file : 1Gb, transfer rate 360-780 kb/s Why is via smb so slow? Attachment is my own smb:conf, the same that's on air. [global] workgroup = NO1KNOWS netbios name = PBT ? ?server string = Samba %v, File

Hi, I am running Samba 3.0.1 on a Debian/Sid machine. I have installed winbind to access the AD of the local network, which I want to use for UNIX logons. wbinfo -u shows all the users of the AD, but "getent passwd" only shows the contents of the file /etc/passwd. I have been following the instruction for winbind (Chapter 21) in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. Any comments would be

I have an issue where a user cannot connect to a specific samba group. I've tried connecting directly from Windows, and via smbclient. via smbclient I get smbclient '\\SERVER NAME\Skin_FTP' -U username Password: Domain=[EP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.5] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_GROUP Yet an apparently mostly identical share seems to work fine smbclient

I have a problem with a Member Server on Samba 3.0.28a running on Ubuntu Heady. Both systems were recently upgraded using Ubuntu's automated upgrade. It's also possible I broke a working configuration by accident. The shares on the Member server are visible on the XP clients and some users can authenticate properly. At least one user on one XP desktop cannot. The shares are visible

Hi! I have a samba 2.2.3a-12 on a Linux Debian box (lets call it pdcMachine) with a 2.4.16 kernel acting as a PDC of some domain (lets call it myDomain). I have a samba 2.999+3.0.alpha20-4 workstation (debian,kernel 2.4.19) (lets call it wstMachine) and i'm trying to join wstMachine to myDomain. I added: workgroup = myDomain password server = * security = domain encrypt passwords =

Hello everyone! I'm trying (unsuccessfully until now) configure two Samba servers: - Server A. Acting as PDC in a Windows 2000/XP domain and as profile server. - Server B. Acting as profile server. I have users whose profiles are in server A and others whose profiles are in the server B. The server where each user's profile lives is identified by the main group (GID) of the user (that

I'm getting really poor performance when using samba with specific applications - winamp and windows media player, when building the media library. I keep my mp3 files on a debian server (2.4.23-1-k7). It is running samba 3.0.7-Debian. Most operations seem to work OK. I can copy a 10 MB file to or from the server in about 30 seconds. My client is windows XP. It connects to the server via

Hi Everyone there! We have a very annoying problem since several months when browsing the local network (workgroup) from win xp clients (from win98 clients it's almost OK). The machines in the workgroup appearing very slooow (about 15-20 sec), and this value doesn't change even in the 2nd or 3rd browse. We have 1 linux (debian 2.4.21 pre 3) pc, running the samba (2.2312) server, about 15

Okay, I'm having a heck of a problem getting two laptops and a router all working together. Trouble is, I have two configurations I need to work. To make things simple I'll start with one configuration. ? The details of the components are: ***NOTE*** ?The router does NOT have an internet connection!!! ---ROUTER--- Linksys BFESR41 (4 Ports) Device IP:??192.168.2.1 Subnet

Hello everybody. We had a Samba 3.024 on a old computer. It's disks begun to fail and we decided to replace the computer with a new one. I installed a Lenny and a Samba 3.2.5. I've two problems of slowness : * If I open a large pdf ( around 5 Mbytes ) on any computer and if I want to print it ( directly from the computer to the printer, we do not use Samba as a print server )

Hello to all: First of all, sorry about my poor english. I am spanish :) I have a debian machine running as a samba file server. The important part of smb.conf is here: ???security?=?share ???encrypt?passwords?=?true ???passdb?backend?=?smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd ???obey?pam?restrictions?=?yes ???invalid?users?=?root ???passwd?program?=?/usr/bin/passwd?%u

Dear all! Since several days I'm trying to get Samba's unix password sync to work for me, but I still have problems. I'm using the Samba 3.0.22 binaries that come with Ubuntu 6.06 and this is the [global] section of my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TEST domain logons = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers syslog = 100 add machine script

I am trying to support our network while the 'IT' guy is on vacation. I have set up samba before, but it has been a few years so I'm very rusty. The problem is a logon failure for a new user. The smb.conf file has workgroup = DELTA server string = File Server security = DOMAIN obey pam restrictions = Yes password server =
