Unstable windozes (hangs all the time) Major bugs in the printing system, mount and smbmount commands. Samba 2.2.5 is completely usable if you ask me. Crap I would say and should never been released. I consider to change to Beeweb although it cost money. BTW how do u uninstall the dirt?? using ./uninstall ??? ===== Investigating the Norwegain 4.th Secret ServiceThe multiheaded

I just configured a server to use the CUPS printing system and have all my printers shared out by Samba. I made all the necessary changes to the smb.conf file but don't want to restart samba in the middle of the day since it is a high traffic server and don't want to break connections. Is there a way to just have samba load all these printers without restarting the service????

Hello, As we will migrate to Win XP Client, is there a site, document, etc ... where I can find information about tests and results of Win XP behaviour with SAMBA ? Thanks Orazio

I've recently recompiled and reinstalled the latest Samba because the version I was running wouldn't talk to Windows XP. It still won't. Can anyone direct me to any docs, howtos, or other docs concerning WinXP problems? Thanks... God's Blessings, Gene To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.

Maybe not a problem, but all ./configure files work on my system from every kind of program. But Samba doesn't seem to do so. I'm starting ./configure file from the source directory so i think it should work then. downloaded the lastest version "stable" account "root" Thnxs in advance JW Verschoor Netherlands -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment

I'm having lots of trouble getting connected to samba on my little 2 computer network at home. One is a RedHat machine and the other is Windows 2000. Trying to access my just the IP of the RedHat machine from my Windows machines gives me the "Cannot find the file or item '\\192.168.20.2'" error. I've got 2 NICs in my RedHat machine so I did use the "interface

I've got cups setup, to do the printwork. A setup, that was used with 2.2.3a of samba (same smb.conf), but it fails with 2.2.5. When using smbclient or the spoot client to connect to the samba printer resource, it tells me that it's a bad network name. Any known issues? -- --------- ?rn Einar Hansen email: orn.hansen@swipnet.se

I have installed Samba2.2.8a on a RedHatLinux 8.0 server. After trying several different changes to the 'smb.conf' file and several other tests I still cannot see the samba Server from the windows XP and windows 2000 client. When I run smbclient -L localhost this is what I get: added interface ip='ip address of my host' bcast=x.y.z.255(actual numbers instead of 'x'

Hi all, After I compiled the source code (samba-2.2.5).

Thanks and regards, Kevin Chan

Hello, Actually I am having a strange error where I hope you can help me: As far as I know I think at least Samba is configured right but I don't reach to connect from a Windows machine to the samba (on RedHat) machine: I tried to do following things to see where the error is: * Testparm runs without a problem. * When typing "$ smbclient -L yourhostname" it asks for a Password,

Hi, I just installed Redhat 7.2 with samba-2.2.1a on a linux machine. I connected the linux machine to a wireless router, which is connected to a hub. I run WinXP Pro PC which is connected to the same hub. There is no problem for me to connect to the samba server from machines attached to the wireless router, ( one Mac OS X & one Win98), but I can't connect to the samba server from the

I have a win98 peer to peer network using a Samba server for file sharing. There 6 Machines on the net. I'm adding a XP Pro and cannot see the neighborhood network. I can get out to the Internet. I've made sure the workgroup name is correct and the XP is not set as DHCP. Our router is the DHCP. Is there something different about setting up the user for the XP Pro? I'm creating

I have similar problem. However, I have noticed that without applying the sp3 on either NT4 workstation or Server. It seems to work fine. As soon as sp3 is applied the samba does not work. Error loggin in occurs. I remove tcpip support on nt and reinstalled, there was a conversion from winsock1.1 to winsock2.0. Also in the smb.conf there is a statement to the effect NOTCPDELAY, that word

I've just tried setting up a Shrike (9) version of Redhat. Using the medium settings of lokkit, then adding manually accept commands for ports 137/udp 138/udp, 139/tcp and 445/tcp, I thought I should have been ready to go. This isn't the case, however. I know it's not the smb.conf settup because when I kill iptables samba works. When iptables IS running however, it will respond

Hello team! My relative newbie status to linux is preceded only by my Samba newbie status. To make a long story short.......The powers to be at work decided it was time to purchase a genuine server, they had enough peer-to-peer networking, and money was a concern and the budget was low. So I opted for a Dell Poweredge 2300 with RH Linux 6.0 pre-installed since I had already been using linux at

Hi [Samba]s I have RedHat 8.0, and have installed a compiled CUPS 1.1.19pre4 and Samba 3.0 (latest this week from CVS). It all compiles and installs OK with CUPS support in Samba, but no printers show up (according to smbclient -L or from windoze) when "printing=cups" is used. It is OK if another form of printing is used, for example "printing=sysv". A reversion to Samba
