similar to: "hiding" and "vetoing" files (for Samba 2.2.2 & Windows Explorer)

Is anyone of aware of any known problems with Samba 2.2.2 and Windows 95, dealing with hiding shares and/or their content from Windows Explorer? We need to map these shares so our application can function properly...but the shares and/or their content should never be accessible via Windows Explorer. We have browseable = no for the shares. We also tried the "hide"option, but the

Could somebody please explain just how one is supposed to set up samba users, groups and passwords so connections can be established to Win2k clients to connect to FBSD samba server for file sharing and to use cups for printing. I am afraid that the manuals and config files and various examples I have found on the Internet are quite confusing. How is the Windows username/passord related to

Samba is working perfect on our main subnet, but it won't for any additional subnets on this domain. We use NT authentication and my system is an RS/6000. I just found out that our routers for these additional subnets have netbeui/netbios turned off. Network Admin. said it's because they're set not to allow broadcasting (and they're not going to start), and turning

We've got Samba 2.2.2 up and running fine on an RS/6000 (AIX) machine w/ NT authentication. We have one domain w/ multiple subnets, and need users on these different subnets to have access to the shares on this machine. We've tested from a different subnet than the one we originally ran smbpasswd on, and it fails (prompting for the passwd to the share...when it works fine from the

We're using Samba 2.2.2 on AIX (RS/6000) with NT authentication. We only want to authenticate at the PDC, and if they pass, they'll be able to map to whatever shares have been assigned to their Workgroup...we need to bypass any authentication at the AIX level. From the limited documentation (PAM-authenication-and-Samba.html) , it almost looks like PAM will accomplish this task. Is

I've been reading chapter 3 of the SAMBA Project Documentation and I can't find any PAM files (pam.d directory) in my /etc. Is there something I need to compile in order to have these files?

We're running Samba 2.2.2 over an NT network. Our clients use Win95 (for the time being) and I wondered how we config Samba so they can map the shares using network neighborhood. We can map fine through MS-DOS, but when I try, for example, to map E drive to \\nfssrv\ads share via network neighborhood (where we ARE able to see the shares), it says E: is already connected to . Do you want

We've added the server name to our PDC (as a Windows NT Workstation or Server) and when we attempt to "join" we get the following error msg: hbsrv{root}#smbpasswd -j DDRJ -r PDC-DDRJ cli_net_auth2: Error NT_STATUS_NO_TRUST_SAM_ACCOUNT cli_nt_setup_creds: auth2 challenge failed modify_trust_password: unable to setup the PDC credentials to machine PDC-DDRJ. Error was :

I really think this is a Windows problem, but since my very good friend Bill refuses to return my calls ... The client is WinXP Professional The server is RedHat 7.1 with SAMBA 2.2.2-8 I have rtfm several times both the ENCRYPTION and PDC-Howto, and I think I have implemented all of the requisite registry and passwd/smbpasswd/smb.conf settings. The client will happily JOIN the domain, but my

Hi all, I've looked through the archives and I can't seem to find a solution, so here's my problem. I have three Win2k clients and one Samba server which I set up as a PDC (or at least I thought so.) The domain is "THEMOLE" yet when I try to join the domain from the clients it says; "The following error occured validaing the name "THEMOLE" The specified

Hi list, I've browsed through the archives, but I didn't find a answer for this: I use smbclient to access a windowsNT 4.0 server. I get only '?' for filenames which contains Umlauts. F.e., a file called "Verkn?pfung" is displayed as "Verkn?pfung". I use following mount-string: mount.smbfs //SERVER/Share /home/xxx -o rw noexec nosuid nodev user codepage

As soon as I start up the daemons using the following commands, nmbd dies. /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D When I view the nmbd.log it gives the following. We're trying to set up Samba to work over 2 subnets. Smbd is ok and we can still mount our shares. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any help. [2002/10/22 10:37:55, 0]

Can anyone help me? I have Samba 2.0.5a running on SuSE Linux 6.0 (2.0.36) and Windows NT Server 4.0 SP4 (PDC).

Hello, I'm having problems to join a japanese W2K Client with SrvPck 2 installed to my samba 2.2.5 PDC controlled domain. Other Clients are no problem (Win98, W2k engl., WXP german).

Reinstalled SevPck 2, but didn't help. the problem must be on Client side because I having the same problem when jooining a other samba controlled

I've got Samba 2.2.2 installed and running fine on one of our servers (RS/6000 AIX 4.3.3 and using NT authentication), however, when I do Test #4 (from docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt) it looks like this: npssrv{root}#nmblookup -B npssrv _SAMBA_ querying _SAMBA_ on 173.148.200.113 name_query failed to find name _SAMBA_ The test said I should get back the IP address of our samba server.

I have samba setup and serving properly to one of my Win2K boxes, I can access shares and create/delete/move files from one of my Win2K hosts but not the others. I went through a bazillion steps debugging to get the first Win2k box connecting so its hard to say what it is that the other boxes (or the samba server) isn't doing. When trying to connect from one of the other Win2K boxes (through

Happy new year samba supporters!! I am new to samba. I am a UNIX admin and no little of MS shares. I am trying to use samba to mount/share my unix home dir on my pc running win 2000 pro.
