hi all... i have what seems a simple question regarding subshares, for lack of a better term... say i have a share with specific user/group permissions and a directory inside the share that i would like to add different user/group permissions... this is an example of my smb.conf file to illustrate [driveA] path = /samba/driveA browseable = Yes writeable = Yes valid users = PDC+groupA force group

Hello, I am having enormous difficulty in getting samba to work correctly on the local network when the local network is on eth1. I have never had any trouble with samba when I used eth0...

Dear Sir, I have been getting this error on the PC site when I tried to connect to the Samba server. I have Red Hat 8.0 installed and I am using Windows 2000 Server as client. I have tried all the steps listed in the 'DIAGNOSIS.txt' and here are the results. Test 1, 2,3,4 passed. Test 5: I can only use IP but not PC Name. Test 6, 7 passed. Test 8: I got "System error 53 has

Hi, I want to setup Samba as a new PDC. I followed the instructions on IBM's site (http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/esdd/tutorials/samba/index.html) The problem I currently have is that Windows 9X boxes can't connect to the Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo box. However, I can make connections on localhost to localhost using smbclient //localhost/share -U username I've tried a couple of different

Hi, I'm new to this list but not to Samba. I've recently been having problems with Samba that I have not encountered (ever). I cannot determine what the cause is but an hour or so into my dialup connection, my machine starts flooding the first dns server in /etc/resolv.conf with dns requests. I know it's samba responsible for the flooding because as soon as I kill both smbd and nmbd

I've got to networks connected through leased line, routing set between networks, WINS server running on Samba. There's one primary samba server, and Win98/WinXP clients connected to it. First network with samba server works great with win98 and winxp. Second network also works ok with win98 clients, but when I connect Winxp it can't even open "my network places" and show

Hi everybody, does somebody know why when I install a samba 2.2.5 or 2.2.6, it doesn't put the file which contains the password samba, i.e. /etc/samba/smbpasswd . With the result that when I have just created a user linux and that I want to add it under samba "smbpasswd user" it lets me enter the password but failed when it wants to reach the base. Somebody has an idea? thanks

Hello, I'm wondering just how critical it really is to turn off oplocks. It appears that not only Windows 2k server, but also Netware 5 and above defaults to having these enabled. I just spoke with two software companies running databases off of file servers (no database server, just MDAC stuff), and they had never heard of it, much less require it to be disabled. Everything I've

This is probably an easy one. I have just setup Samba on my Debian 2.0 system with kernel 2.0.34. It was extremely easy set up, great job Samba and Debian people. My problem is that I can see both of my Debian computers in Network Neighborhood but can not log in to both of them. The one I can log in to is Debian 1.3 with 2.0.33 on it. When I double-click on the Debian 2.0 machine it prompts me for

I am having a problem with the Samba server that I run. Simply, new users added to the system cannot log on to the PC's that are controlled from the Samba server's domain. Users that are already on the system and have been working for some time seem to be unaffected. I suspect that the problem may well be related to the 'minor' problem we experienced with the server the other

Hi, I'm trying to get Samba on a Linux box to work. Authentication via user level worked fine, but what I really want is it to take user authentication from a win2k box, which is our "primary local server". The win2k box is not a pdc, (the real pdc is 2000km away, close to the polar circle), but according to the docs it doesn't have to be. So in smb.conf I put: security =

Hi, I have the following problem with samba: The set up: Redhat 9.0 system, with two NIC's (eth1/2) for two networks.

Hi all, I have a Samba box (Mandrake 8.1, Samba 2.2.2). I have another hard disc that has Mandrake 9.0 + Samba 2.2.7 on it. I am looking to install this other hard disc into the Mandrake 8.1 box and migrate everything over. Do I need to do anything other than copy the contents of /etc/samba (smb.conf, secrets.tdb etc) over to the new hard disc to ensure that our Windows 2000 Pro workstations

Hi list, Can someone please clarify the difference between variables %S %U %u in smb.conf? It is not clearly defined in man smb.conf page (at least for me) %U - session username (the username that the client wanted, not necessarily the same as the one they got). %S - the name of the current service, if any. %u - username of the current service, if any. That is "session username",

We have a setup (that has worked since samba 3 was released), where we have a windows 2000 ADC, and a debian sarge based (running all current patches and only Debian packages (nothing related to samba/winbind is compiled by us) samba 3.0.xx server set up with winbind/pam to act as a domain member serving files, whilst authenticating from our Windows ADC. - so what happens is... Ctrl-alt-del,

perhaps the boot-from-cdrom code in Smart Boot Manager?
