Hi guys, I'm been following samba for six or seven odd months now in preparation for moving our organisation over to a file server which is a little more cost effective than the Micro$oft alternative. We are currently running with about 30 users on a Windows 2000 Small Business Server. Do you see any problems in replacing this server with a linux box running Samba? Is the file

My Dell server was preloaded with Redhat 7.2 , Linux 2.4.7-10, gccv2.96 with Ext3 file system. I want to install the machine into my company W2k domain using winbind but my Linux kernel does not support the needed ACls.

Hi ! I installed a SNF 7.20 firewall and a Samba/Debian PDC. I wonder if it's possible to restrict web/ftp/mail access according to user's group ... (the only way I now would be to restrict access according to IP adresses but I'm not interrested in this solution). Is there a way to do it with Samba (I guess no but any idea would help ...) Thanks.

Heya, i got this problem with stubborn win98 machine refusing to show up on the browse list, my samba is the local/domain master browser and login server for the whole local network, using user security. the workstation has all the same protocols and settings like the other 6, only difference is the ip and the netbios name, the login used on that machine matches existing username on my linux

We have been able to successfully install / configure SAMBA on our LAN / WAN. Everything is working out just fine.. Just 1 little problem (And I'm sure it is something I screwed up or missed in the docs). When changing a computer name on the client PC (Win2k), I receive an "Access Denied" error. I've even tried using the root account to change the name with no avail.

Hi all, again. I am trying to set up samba with acl-support on a debian woody (final) box. The kernel has got XFS-support and getfacl and setfacl are working fine since I have built the acl-debian packages from SGI's acl-sources. Also attr-dev, acl-dev and the appropriate kernel-headers are installed. The acl.h can be found in /usr/include/sys/. But all my efforts trying to implement xfs

Hi Wonder if anyone can help ? My own internal domestic server was running fine with most things until I re-installed today. Rsync config was done by someone else who knows what to do. I don't. Seems like a good time to learn :) I'm trying to backup the contents of my home directory to another internal machine which is at 192.168.1.4 from my home directory which is at

Is it still true that in order for a Linux hosted Samba server to have NT ACL support, the Linux box must have an ACL aware file system such as XFS or Andreas Gruenbacher's kernel patch ("POSIX ACL")? I read this in chapter 4 of "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours". In the time since that book was written, has an easier method been developed, or has a

We have some speed/performance issues: We have a 100M fullduplex private network setup to handle rsync transfers to our "mirror" server with a command like: time rsync -e ssh -avzl --delete --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync \ --exclude ".netscape/cache/" --delete-excluded \ bigserver:/staff1 /mirror/bigserver It takes about 20 minutes to check/transfer files from

I'm trying to troubleshoot a new samba setup on a tiny network, and I'm clearly missing something. I'm running Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu Linux. When I first set it up, it seemed to go so smoothly. I changed all the workstations to the same workgroup (RABNETWORK) and they could see each other and the server, but they couldn't open anything on the server. I don't really understand

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old

Hello, When I run the 'smbclient -L apollo' command at the UNIX prompt a I get an error. I have gone as far as I can in this DIAGNOSIS.txt file. Does anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing my problem ? I have made my comments to the DIAGNOSIS.txt file via '---- davidw {comment}' so you can see what I've done to date. Also, I thought I'd pass on the output

I'm new to Samba software. I just installed Samba on my Sun Sparcstation 20 running Solaris 2.5. I read the DIAGNOSIS.txt file, but in this case, it didn't helped me. When I tried to login in from the PC to the unix machine by typing "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP", it prompted me for the password, so I typed in the unix password (I guess?), but an error message returned -
