Hello I have samba (2.2.7a) shares on linux (rh 7 & 9) servers with posix-acl (both kernel (2.4.19/ext2 and 2.4.20/xfs) and samba enabled) and an nt 4 PDC. works fine except that I can't change acl of a file/dir if i'm not the owner, thought i'm in a group that has write access to the file/dir I set the "dos filemode = yes" as told in "man smb.conf", but it

Hi, The following is done on a samba share:- When I want to hide files in on the Windows interface, I right-click the file and check on the hidden attribute, but the file still appears there. Must I rename the file with a dot in front in order to hide it? Any alternative to allow the use of Windows interface to hide it? Thanks. adrian

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. 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

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 have had this problem before. Never really got to the bottom of it but if you want to get on then just add '-a' to your swat command to disable authentication. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Myers [mailto:myersjj@us.ibm.com] Sent: 07 November 2002 21:08 To: SAMBA@SAMBA.ORG Subject: RE: [Samba] RE: SWAT not working, can't authenticate I had already done that, so it must be

Hi- I am experiencing some odd behavior with ACLs with winbindd using Samba 2.6 on Debian Woody (kernel version 2.4.18). 1. I am unable to alter permissions from Win2K clients using the Properties->Security interface. Is this normal? I get the "Unable to save Permission Changes on new Folder. Access is denied." message. This occurs with all accounts, both privileged and

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 all! I've got a Linux samba server and win 95/98 clients without problems. I've just installed 2 windows 2000 clients and I have a problem with one of them.

Hey ppl ! My WinXP workstations are not able to join my domain.

Hi again, I posted this message some time ago in the list, however nobody replied yet. I find this kinda weird because the problem happens with both my XP computers, so I am pretty sure there must be at least a couple of guys out there with the same problem... Basically the problem is that when using Samba shares from XP from time to time I experience a ~30 second lockup of the shares. This

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

It is possible to tunnel various protocols - NNTP, FTP, HTTP etc thru SSH. Is it possible to do the same using SMB? TIA, Alex. -------------------- Mr Alex Meaden Computer Science Undergraduate University of Kent at Canterbury aejm1@meaden.dyndns.org http://meaden.dyndns.org/

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

My Dell server was preloaded with Redhat 7.2 , Linux 2.4.7-10, gccv2.96 with Ext3 file system. I want to install the machine into my company W2k domain using winbind but my Linux kernel does not support the needed ACls.

I have been having a printing problem recently on a setup that has worked for quite some time. Configs below. The symtoms are slightly different on a W2K and a WinME workstation, but the result is the same; no printed output. However, when I print from the local Unix server or from any other Unix server in the network the output is as expected. The W2K machine reports 'Access denied,

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
