[Redirected to the general samba list] One of the things which Samba provides is a facility to run a "preexec" script before allowing a user to connect to a directory, and refuse to make the conenction if the script returns a non-zero result. This can prevent someone from logging on twice, limit them to specific hours, from conencting to the wrong directory and so on. In

We have a Samba 3.01 pre3 server that acts as a print server among other things. When our users go to the add printer wizard in Windows, it doesn't show our samba server! The only way to add a printer is by manually entering the path. That's really inconvenient if you don't know the path. :) Is there some way we can resolve this? Thanks, Tait Shrum Bryant Schools

Hi folks, we are experiencing a problem when AutoCAD 2000+ drawing files are saved on a Samba (2.0.8) file share. Regardless of what the file is 'saved as', the name is always converted to all capitals. e.g. Drawing1 becomes DRAWING1 Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Seems strange that it is only AutoCAD files, but I think it is Samba related, not AutoCAD,

hi When I highlight a printer icon in Win 2K, the Status bar shows Status: Access Denied, Unable to connect. It shows this for all samba printers. I can print a test page even though it shows access denied. Anyone know how to fix this? thanks.

Our school district is moving to an LDAP database for mail and domain authentication. We are seeing some errors in our logs we don't know how to resolve and need your help.

Sorry to have to repost this (didn't get any response on the first post), we really need some of the fixes of the new Samba but cannot go ahead without the support for the older machines. Need to prove that Samba is the great product that I believe it is. Hi folks - I am having printing problems with our older machines. Printing is working fine for our Windows NT, 2000 and XP clients.

I am using samba to share a directory that lives on an OpenBSD 3.1 box. The client is my linux box. I want to mount this directory so I can use my own tools on the linux box to edit the code. My problem is that there is a file "boucer" which is an executable and a "Bouncer" directory. I'm sure you can see my problem. I tried putting case sensitive = yes in the

I have experienced a couple of (minor) problems with Samba Thought I would report these and ask if they are known problems. 1. Problem with "!" in username map file 2. Samba tools e.g. smbstatus, testparm not accounting for "config file" parameter 1. There appears to be a problem with a minor part of username map file interpretation. When I put an exclamation mark

I've noticed the list has pretty low answer:question ratio. I tend to think that many replies go directly to people who post the questions and those people never bother to share the answers with the community. I don't think this is fair so we may want to do something in this regard. We either need certain rules that will imply posting of summaries (as {SUN,LINUX}managers lists do), or the

We have a problem with file security settings changing when a file is edited by someone who is not the owner. When the edited file is saved, ownership is transferred to the person who edited the file. Also, access control settings for the file are reset to a default setting. This is a real problem, since in some cases it means that the original owner of the file no longer has permission to edit

We have a user at one of our remote sites that is not getting an H: drive. This is a problem that we've normally been able to resolve. In this instance, when looking at the logs - there are no errors or even no mention of the user attempting to connect to her home directory. Samba does record, however, her connection to her apps drive and other miscellaneous drives. Samba is at

We are experiencing long delays when loading MX files stored on our samba fileserver. We are running version 2.2.7a of Samba on Solaris 8 servers. Using MX version 2.5 and higher on windows 2000 and XP workstations When the files are stored locally they load in a few seconds, whilst taking more than a minute to run from the Samba server. Our current workaround is to store the files locally,

Hi, could someone who is close to the Samba development make a comment about the automatic printer drivers features in Samba 2.2.5 I've been trying to get this working unsuccessfully, and have seen many messages posted from people having trouble with this feature. Not sure if this is an unnusual number of people with problems, but it seems like it ( I could be too close to the problem to see

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew, I was hopeful, but removing the writeable made no difference. Still prints from NT, 2000, XP but not from Win95, 98. Any other ideas? -peter.

We have Samba authenticating to ldap and we want our users to be able to change their Samba password from their Windows 98 computers.

I'm trying to config a Linux box to integrate into a windows network using pam_smb and samba. Ive set it up so that using pam_smb I can get the user to log onto the linux desktop with their NT id and password. The only problem is once the user is logged on they need to be able to access shared resources disk, printers etc... without the need to reauthenticate to the domain, i.e. use a cache

Thanks for the performance information John, I wasn't aware that optimising the conf could make such a difference. I guess my way of thinking - where I want to look at the original smb.conf file and have it nicely readable is a bit impractical, and maybe I will soon change that way of thinking, but I think it will help your work if you are aware of other peoples thought processes, (even if

Please lend me some expertise... Ok, I know suggesting a bug is a bit impolite, but I cannot find a solution for this and none of the helpful people who have responded have been able to help either... If I come off sounding a bit short it's just because I've tried many things to get these older clients printing. :-) Don't mean to annoy anyone. Appreciate any help! Have several
