Running Samba 2.2.6 on RedHat 7.2 in a Microsoft NT4 Domain, trying to create or copy a text file to a share from a MS Windows 2000 Professional workstation (client2k) gives 'Access denied' Reading the log file (level 3) for samba.client2k (not an activity I feel much comfort in doing correctly) it looks like I am being recognized as a 'guest user' which is a problem but for

Hello again! Ok, I've gotten wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g working great Now I try to run getent passwd and getent group I get my local users/groups but not the ones on the Windows 2k Server Domain Controller and it just hangs after listing the local ones. I also tried authenticating a user and it worked I'm assuming wbinfo -a DOMAIN+ingless@DOMAIN%"password" (The usernames here

Hey ppl ! My WinXP workstations are not able to join my domain. I tried to apply the registry fix for plain-text passwords but it has no effects :( My PDC seems to work fine cause i've got no problems with Win2K Workstations... Is there anything i've omitted ?

Hi, We have been having a few problems with a M$ Access DB held on a Samba server Samba version: samba-2.2.4-2N1 We have rebuilt a new server, and transferred the database over to the new box, along with word/excel docs etc. Everything is working fine, except the access database, which is running very very slowly (can be over a minute to open a record). Details are a little sketchy, but it

I'm having trouble getting myself in to the administrators group. I'm using samba as a domain controller. I have a samba account called administrator. I have these settings in my smb.conf:: domain group map = /etc/samba/groups.mapping domain user map = /etc/samba/domainuser.mapping local group map = /etc/samba/localgroup.mapping This is in my domainuser.mapping to alias the

I'm new to this group so I hope that this is the right place to ask this question (if not, let me know): We are setting up several Samba servers and we've run into a problem with file permissions. We've have a few shared folders that we'd like for some GROUPS to have read/write access and other GROUPS to have only read access. I cannot figure out how to do this because

Can I configure Samba Wins (ver. 2.2.2), installed on Sun Solaris 5.8, as a partner push-pull of Microsoft Windows WINS service installed on Windows 2000 server ? Thanks Francesco romano -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

It is possible to tunnel various protocols - NNTP, FTP, HTTP etc thru SSH. Is it possible to do the same using SMB? TIA, Alex. -------------------- Mr Alex Meaden Computer Science Undergraduate University of Kent at Canterbury aejm1@meaden.dyndns.org http://meaden.dyndns.org/

I am running 2.2.6 on a customer's site and everything has been perfect. However I noticed the other day that one of the two nmbd processes (it is a wins server) had grown to 13Mb over a two week period. I needed to update to the latest CVS version anyway and had hoped that something in that might fix things. Five days later and things are looking the same: nmbd started on Nov 9th: root

Hello, I have downloaded and compiled 2.2.6 to replace my 2.2.6pre. I spent a large part of the day debugging the startup script because it seemed to always be starting two nmbd processes instead of one. Eventually I tried running just /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd - and still got two nmbd processes. Is this correct behaviour? On the first server (Dell 4600) I thought it might be because it has

Hi, Firstly I want to declare I am a newbie to Samba. I am installing samba over Redhat 8.0 I need to know whether Samba can replace my NT4 PDC in the following aspects and how to do it:- 1. ACLs. Must i create the every user name in Samba as in the NT4 PDC? How do I create groups like "Protocol Stack" with space in between the groupname? (Making sure that the ACls are mapped

Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

I have read several HOWTO's online that indicate one should be able to access a samba share over an ssh tunnel from a windows box with the following steps: 1. Stop the File and Print sharing services on the windows box 2. Create an ssh tunnel from the windows box to the samba server (port 139) 3. Connect to the samba server as if it were on 127.0.0.1 Unfortunately, doing this on any of my

Please specify the Samba version you are running - winbindd in 2.2.2 had a *big* memory leak which would certainly eat all your memory over three days on a moderately busy server. The more work winbindd does the more memory it chews - which might explain the end of day incidents. Try using 'M' in Top to get an idea of who is eating the memory. Noel There is no indication in TOP as to

Hi, I'm confused of where to set ACL? Do I set them in SWAT under Security Options (using Valid Users, Force Group, ..., etc.)? Or do I need to hardcoded them with setfacl? Or set them in NT client? Please direct me to the references? I already have xfs, acl, attr, compiled in. Regards, Norman

Hello, I've got a web server with samba running on it. The idea is i have a samba web share to which users can put web pages. My problem is none of the files are being shown, i have 5 folders and 24 files, only the five folders show up in a network neighborhood view. I've checked permissions, all the users can place content in that location, but the files are not visible. samba 2.2.6, any

Is there a way to grant a user rights to a directory without restarting samba ? thx, Mark

Guillaume Found this in the Network Admin Guide - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/book/ch05.html#X-087-2-IFACE.IFCONFIG "Receiver overruns usually occur when packets come in faster than the kernel can service the last interrupt." I think you definitely have a problem with your NIC on the Samba machine. I would swap it out and/or change the cable and see if that cures things.

I have had this problem before. Never really got to the bottom of it but if you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable authentication. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Myers [mailto:myersjj@us.ibm.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 21:08 To: SAMBA@SAMBA.ORG Subject: RE: [Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate I had already done that, so it must be

Hi, Last week I discovered that my samba-server seems rather slow. When I searched around I discovered that I wasn't the only one experiencing this, but I didn't find a solution. I experimented a little, and I hope someone can suggest a solution. First my server : SuSE 8.1, with Samba 2.2.5 (comes with the distribution). From a WinME-client I uploaded a 160Mb file to the samba-server.
