Hi all I am fairly new to samba and XP. I have a client who we set up a samba server for, they are complaining about documents taking about 30 secs -2-3mins to open but only sometimes (it can be very frequent). I have seen this and captured a piece of the log file I wonder if any one can make any sense of it... I have been looking on the net and trying various things all day but to no avail...

Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro. This application is entirely installed in a Windows share and it has a hystory of strange phenomenons. Initially it ran fast on an old NT server (but that server has been replaced). It has strange performance problems with Windows 2000 Server: it runs fast with some servers and slow with

<Long Post, sorry!> Folks, I have a really nasty problem preventing me from migrating a bunch of NetWare 5 servers to Samba--attempts to copy large (> 2MB+) files to any samba share results in an error. To clarify what I mean by "error": 1. I attempt to copy, using explorer, a 2MB+ file to any samba share. 2. A 30 second or so pause occurs (copying this file to any other

Hi team, I've got a problem with a WinXP client being unable to save a document to a Samba share. The server is running 2.2.6pre2 (on FreeBSD 4.6). The XP client hangs for a VERY long time when attempting to save a file (at least the first file saved - the problem seems to diminish for subsequent saves/files). Turning the debug level to 3 produces the following messages (repeated many many

Hi folks, I've got a serious problem with samba since I upgrade an stone-age caldera-box with a 2.0.x-samba to redhat-7.2 with 2.2.1a-samba. I can create, delete directories and files without any problems. But renaming them (i.e. by creating a new folder which has new folder as default) does not work. I always get an error, that the file does not exist. I am trying from a win2k-professional

I've got a couple of Solaris 7 boxes that are running samba 2.2.0. When I try to copy text files from a windows 2000 client to the server, the resulting file is filled with all NULL characters. I tried copying the same file to a NT server's share and there was no corruption. When copying to the solaris share, the windows 2000 client eventually gives the following error: The

Hi everyone, thanks to John Terpstra's hint (teh old thread started with Msg crn5v6$sh8$1@sea.gmane.org), our xp clients now do join the domain :-). However, they still fail to read user profiles which were created by the old Win98 clients. The relevant parts of smb.conf look like this: ---------------------------- begien smb.conf ---------------------------- [global] domain

Hello, I'm trying to use samba (Version 2.2.3a-6 for Debian) as a DC for a windows 2000 pro network. Everything seems to work OK, except the roaming profiles. Every few days (I haven't locked down a pattern yet) all machines connected to the server loose their connection, and no one can connect again until the server is rebooted. I'm using log level 3, and this is what log.smbd

When I type the user name and password to logon onto our network (samba is the pdc) it takes a long time to login. How can I go about speeding this up? Is it a Win Xp issue or do I need to tweak samba? Also, when I login in to an XP machine I get a script (looks like some sort of logon script) that shows up in notepad on the desktop and stays there until I close it. What is this and how can I

I have a Red Hat 8.0 PC with a scanner connected and I am scanning images with sane. I would like to store the scanned images on a Red Hat 7.3 file server using Samba, but I am having some difficulty understanding how the file and directory security preferences work. I can attach to the share (called "Shared") with: smbmount //server/Shared /mnt/S -o username=username%password and

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to Samba and struggling with the folowing: The system is a W2003 domain with W2K clients and Samba 3.0.14a-3sa on Debian (Debian package) I've made two shares: [homes] comment = Home directory read only = No valid users = %S create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No [profiles] path = /mnt/sdb1/data/profiles/

Dear list; I have been using samba 1.9.18p10 on a Sun Sparc Ultra 2 for about a year. I use it to share a directory to an NT/95 network. I now have a Sun Sparc Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6. In order to prepare the Ultra 10 for y2k I downloaded samba-2.0.6-nonis+-sparc-sun-solaris2.6.pkg.gz from

I'm not sure if this is a samba problem or just a problem with the app. I'm unable to an application from a shared drive "\\ucd01\protel\". I've mapped the network drive "k:\protel\"and the apps ini file points to it but gives me an error message suggesting it can't see the drive. XP can however and I can browse it in explorer. A strange thing is that when I

hi, we're using a samba-server over DSL using openVPN and the speed is very good at browsing directories and quite OK at loading/saving files except for word & excel where it takes about 20-30 seconds to save even a small file. which is no wonder because the following happens in log.smbd when i click "save" in word, it obviously checks for a bazillion tmp- and lockfiles (

Hello, I'm running Samba 3.6.6-1 on my x64 Arch Linux installation. I recently decided to have my samba share support NTFS's Alternate Data Streams by using streams_xattr or streams_depot. With streams_xattr I discovered that if I copy a file having an ADS from a win7 box, on the linux console, I can see the ADS as an xattr attached to the file. However when I copy the file back to my

Hi list, I am trying to track down a printer-related problem. The most important symptom is a smbd process using almost all memory on my machine (up to 800 MB, at the specific case of which I've posted the logs.) At some point the VM will kill the smbd process, freeing the memory. Apart from this, samba keeps on running fine. Investigation of a level 3 debug log of this process has shown

I've battled this one for a few days now and its costing my sanity so I am hoping that someone here has an answer I am running the samba server 3.0.4 on a linux 2.4.25 server. I can connect to my share point and authenticate fine I can create files or directories in the root of the sharepoint fine I can go into subdirectories and look at all the files... But I cannot create in any
