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

Hi I am a newbie to samba after taking over from a previous administrator. I have upgraded to the version that ships with SuSE linux 8.0 and copied over the old smb.config and smbpasswd files. I can see the shares from a remote SWAT connection and also using the interactive method via a DOS window, but cannot get the shares to be seen via Network Neighbourhood. I am thinking that this may be

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 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

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

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

I've just released an early version of a Markdown implementation in Haskell (using the Parsec parser combinator library). pandoc converts Markdown to HTML, LaTeX, reStructuredText, rich text format, and S5 HTML slide shows. It partially converts HTML, LaTeX, and reStructuredText to Markdown. It also makes it easy to include LaTeX math on HTML pages, using Peter Jipsen's ASCIIMathML.js.

Hi folks, I recently upgraded two client/server pairs to WinXP and Samba 2.2.6 (on Linux). Browsing mounted shares causes hangs when right-clicking or double-clicking/ launching files -- about 15 seconds. During this, precious little network activity is occuring. Something is hanging, locking, sleeping. Appreciate any advice. Hope it's a simple fix. If not, I'd appreciate advice on

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

Hello Using Samba 2.2.8a on a Redhat 7.2 box I set up a PDF generator relying on Samba and a shell script to create the output. This works fine but I have a further trouble that I am stumped by. The files cannot be viewed from within a Citrix session (the point of the entire exercise) unless they are available from this one NT Server share. So if I mount a Windows NT server share under

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 first start smbd -D and nmbd -D Then I start winbindd Then I join the domain (smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r DOMAINCONTROLLER -U Administrator) It works Then I check my Secret (wbinfo -t) and it's good Then I list users and groups (wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g) and it works fine However I still cannot get "getent passwd" and "getent group" working, it just lists the local users
