Hi everyone, thanks to John Terpstra's hint (teh old thread started with Msg crn5v6$sh8$1@sea.gmane.org), our xp clients now do join the domain :-). However, they still fail to read user profiles which were created by the old Win98 clients. The relevant parts of smb.conf look like this: ---------------------------- begien smb.conf ---------------------------- [global] domain

Hello, I'm trying to use samba (Version 2.2.3a-6 for Debian) as a DC for a windows 2000 pro network. Everything seems to work OK, except the roaming profiles. Every few days (I haven't locked down a pattern yet) all machines connected to the server loose their connection, and no one can connect again until the server is rebooted. I'm using log level 3, and this is what log.smbd

Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro. This application is entirely installed in a Windows share and it has a hystory of strange phenomenons. Initially it ran fast on an old NT server (but that server has been replaced). It has strange performance problems with Windows 2000 Server: it runs fast with some servers and slow with

I have a Red Hat 8.0 PC with a scanner connected and I am scanning images with sane. I would like to store the scanned images on a Red Hat 7.3 file server using Samba, but I am having some difficulty understanding how the file and directory security preferences work. I can attach to the share (called "Shared") with: smbmount //server/Shared /mnt/S -o username=username%password and

<Long Post, sorry!> Folks, I have a really nasty problem preventing me from migrating a bunch of NetWare 5 servers to Samba--attempts to copy large (> 2MB+) files to any samba share results in an error. To clarify what I mean by "error": 1. I attempt to copy, using explorer, a 2MB+ file to any samba share. 2. A 30 second or so pause occurs (copying this file to any other

I'm hoping someone has some insight into a problem I'm currenty having, which is: No one is able to edit (in place) documents with Word 2000 on a samba (2.2.6) disk share. A user can open word and save a document to the share, but when they go to edit the document Word says "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error". From Microsoft KB Q211632 it appears

I've battled this one for a few days now and its costing my sanity so I am hoping that someone here has an answer I am running the samba server 3.0.4 on a linux 2.4.25 server. I can connect to my share point and authenticate fine I can create files or directories in the root of the sharepoint fine I can go into subdirectories and look at all the files... But I cannot create in any

Hi all I am fairly new to samba and XP. I have a client who we set up a samba server for, they are complaining about documents taking about 30 secs -2-3mins to open but only sometimes (it can be very frequent). I have seen this and captured a piece of the log file I wonder if any one can make any sense of it... I have been looking on the net and trying various things all day but to no avail...

Hi; I've run into a somewhat interesting issue in regards to IIS serving content from a samba share. Occasionly, IIS will return 404 errors for content that does infact exist. >From the samba machine, I captured the following: This is an example of the site http://www.mysite.co.nz/foo not working: [2004/11/04 09:30:14, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(2353)

Hi folks, I've got a serious problem with samba since I upgrade an stone-age caldera-box with a 2.0.x-samba to redhat-7.2 with 2.2.1a-samba. I can create, delete directories and files without any problems. But renaming them (i.e. by creating a new folder which has new folder as default) does not work. I always get an error, that the file does not exist. I am trying from a win2k-professional

I read a message from the archives that describes nearly our exact problem that has begun to appear after 11i was installed on our server. File access has become slow and unreliable, especially under high loads. As a matter of fact, I had a logon script running a series of echo -- it was executing them at about 1 line every 2 seconds. The way we "solved" the problem was moving the Samba

Dear List, we are currently using Samba 3.0.4 (rpm from Sernet - http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/) on SuSE 8.2 with XP SP2-clients. The problem is: When we try to upgrade to Samba 3.0.7, the clients can't load the users profile, the error message says, that it can't find the path (though it works well for 3.0.4). Here is a snippet of the error messages in log.smb with log level 4:

Hello, I'm running Samba 3.6.6-1 on my x64 Arch Linux installation. I recently decided to have my samba share support NTFS's Alternate Data Streams by using streams_xattr or streams_depot. With streams_xattr I discovered that if I copy a file having an ADS from a win7 box, on the linux console, I can see the ADS as an xattr attached to the file. However when I copy the file back to my

Hi, my details: Server: 3.2.3 Client: win2k8 When I try list contents of a shared directory through an ASP script (win2k8 is the client), it's take much time and on samba I saw many times (4 times for each file) the same error: "fill_share_mode_lock failed" I tried "shares mode = No" but no success It's the log: ...:49, 3]

Dear list; I have been using samba 1.9.18p10 on a Sun Sparc Ultra 2 for about a year. I use it to share a directory to an NT/95 network. I now have a Sun Sparc Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6. In order to prepare the Ultra 10 for y2k I downloaded samba-2.0.6-nonis+-sparc-sun-solaris2.6.pkg.gz from

Hi to everyone, Something quite strange occured to me this weekend as we wanted to switch our network to w2k ads structure with a sambaserver as main fileserver running winbind. The windowsprofiles are supposed to reside on the sambaserver and the client successfully loads the initial profile. The first time the user logs on to his machine, he gets some default .msi-softwarepackages assigned by

Issue: unix fifo (named pipe) does not appear in share, attempts to read the pipe result in "Access Denied" >From an XP laptop, I can open and access my samba share normally. I can read all files and subdirectories in the share, but a fifo I need to read does not appear at all. I have made the fifo mode 777 (world readable, writeable, executeable) and tried other things like
