Thank you very much, it was the setting on the RS6000. Whoever originally setup our box didn't specify the BST time offset correctly. The system was reading TZ=GMT0BST0,M3.5.0,M10.5.0 Thanks to everyone that contributed to solving a simple and obvious error !!!! :) Mike ________________________________________________________________________________________ >From "John Ryan"

Hi all, I've been working (hard) on password sync (with NIS) here and it's now ready to roll. However, there's a problem. If I use '% smbpasswd -r nnpdc' from the UNIX command line, then the password change program runs as root and the NIS gets updated. If I use 'c:\> net password \\nnpdc' (from an Win98 box) then the password change program runs as the user

Hi all, I'm extremely puzzled by the behaviour of one of my Samba servers. It's been working fine for yonks, and this morning (abuout 11:32) it just stopped. (mostly) Connecting to shares still works. Navigating the tree till works. Changing (DOS) attributes still works. But actually opening files and reading the contents doesn't work. The client just times out (Win 3.11, and

Hi all,.

Hi all, I've just noticed I'm getting a load of these query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet 193.62.43.24 for name INFORMATICS<1d>. This response was from IP 193.62.43.39 In the log.nmb on one of my (several) Samba servers. I've not had a chance yet to check if it's happening on all of them. Most pertiant question for me is why is it

Hi all, There seems to be a conflict in the online documentation as to the 'security =' level and the 'add user script'. http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN1146 says that you have to have 'security = user' in order to have Samba behave as a PDC. Further on :- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#AEN1231 it says

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Hi all, the file samba-2.2.3a/source/script/installbin.sh has a rather odd blindspot. It doesn't honor the --with-privatedir= option to ./configure it just blindly uses $BASEDIR/private instead. I think the fix would be:- a) move directory creation out of installbin.sh altogehter (after all what's the installdirs: target for in the Makefile?) OR b) add an extra parameter

Hi all, (again) The page:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html does not have any description of the '-j' option. However:- http://ie.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smbpasswd.8.html does. Why is this a big issue ? (worthof a post to the mailing list?) because the first URL above is linked off the main 'Documentation' page of the Samba web site

Hi all, I'm running Samba 1.9.18p8 on an SG Challenge (L) with IRIX 5.3 Every so often (maybe once a month (ish)) samba goes mad, and we get loads and loads of 'smbd' processes created which fill up the process table, causing many 'fork() failed: too many processes' errors. Eventually, with a slice of luck we can get to execute a 'kill' command on them and the

Hi there, I've just tripped over a problem I thought only existed in WfWg3.11. On Win95 clients connecting to a 1.9.18p8 Samba server (IRIX 5.3) the first logon dialog box seems to have a problem with mixed-case passwords. If I have a lower case password, then I can just enter it in the Win95 'Microsoft Network' logon dialog at startup, and all the shares are reconnected. If I

Hi all, I use Samba (nmbd) for WINS serving round here. Any one know how to set up two WINS servers (on different machines for resilience) using Samba? Also, whislt I'm on the subject. Suppose I have a machine with multiple (physical) interfaces, each with a unique IP address. When it ('s nmbd) registers with teh WINS server does it register all its addresses? Moreover, when the

I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

I am running RedHat8, samba 2.2.7 The mailing list archives seem to pin the 2gb problem on several unrelated issues (all of which i explored). The machines in question have no problems creating 2+gb files locally and via NFS. Is this an issue with smbfs? smbmount? anyone have a workaround? -- 'As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity

Hello, I have a trouble. In my network i use PDC server on windows NT 4.0 server. And i have FreeBSD which is a router in my company. I've installed samba. my domain is 'ELST', NetBIOS name of PDC is 'BLACK-ANGEL' Then i do this smbpasswd -j ELST -r BLACK-ANGEL it tell's me that i joined domain. my

Hi all, I'm trying to get a Samba server (which is a member of a Samba controlled domain) to store WinXP Pro user's profiles. The XP user is authenticating against a 2003 Active Directory server, which then tells it to store it's profile on my Samba server. The 'profiles' share exists and is writeable and under some circumstances we can get profiles to be stored there,

Hi all, Looking for a solution to the following:- # smbpasswd -x jh--- build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! username jh--- with uid 1774 is not in unix passwd database!

Hi, I have an issue in dos printing. My okidata dot matrix printer is directly connected to linux box and is a shared printer in samba . I am using lprng. My problem is with dos printing. When i print, it spools first indicated in the windows printer window. It takes a minute before it actually sends to the linux box, you will see an indicator of spooled bytes. Once it is submitted it prints

I am trying to move our network from windows NT-2k to Samba /Linux. So far everything is great but there is one main obstacle; when I apply permissions to a Samba share via my W2K workstation, the permissions instantly disappear. This happens regardless of the owner / creator of file or the user / group permission I attempt to add. I have run 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and now 3.0 beta3. All three behave
