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

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'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

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.

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 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

Hi Is it possible to send SIGHUP to the parant process to let samba reread the smb.conf file, or is any way to let samba reread this file without restarting samba regards Alaa

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

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

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.

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
