I am having a heck of a time creating a new samba PDC server. I have installed Samba 2.2.6 on a SuSE 8.0 system. I have defined the machines and users via smbpasswd, created the roaming directories and share points and the server starts with no problems. All of the machines are XP with SignOrSeal set. What I am experiencing is the users are interegated for their userid/password as expected. I

Hello, If I wished to ping a windows machine from a Linux box _not_ using the dotted quad address, how can I discover their IP name (using their NetBeui name)? * DNS is not running locally, (does it need too?) * There isn't a local domain, I imagine we're using our ISP's domain name (we're running the lan segment off a switch connected to a DSL modem/router) * Windows and

In 2.2.8a days, findsmb would print the OS and Server version of the machines it found, like this: *=DMB +=LMB IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION --------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.168.49.247 WINQA1 [QATEST] [Windows 5.0] [Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 192.168.49.250 WINQA2

I have a samba server 3.0.28a set up on ubuntu 8.04, which is accessed by a windows xp client. The windows machine can see and download all the shared folders from the linux machine, and the linux machine can download from the windows machine with smbclient. However, when I issue "findsmb" the linux machine only reports itself, not the windows machine. The man pages show it

Hello Herb, all. I recently played a bit harder with Samba, as I'm working on getting it set up for my sister (remotely). I came across Herb's old 'findsmb' perl script which got me a lot further along than I had been. I wanted to note a small patch I made in order for the script to deal with 'bad' characters in the machine names: --- /usr/bin/findsmb Mon Oct 12

Hi, Re: http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/samba/findsmb.1.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pb/NSLU2/NSLU2.html#S0500 Could you please advise whether or not "findsmb" should work on a WindowsXP machine?. *'findsmb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.* ** I'm trying to set-up a Linksys NSLU2 to run Apache, php and MySQL and am

Hello, A client of mine has this ancient software called VideoPrinter (working on Win98) and an ancient hardware that connects to the PC through both LAN cable and serial (COM) cable. I decided to give this software a try with wine 0.9.60 running on Slackware 12, kernel 2.6.23.4. The software installs without problems and after adding the appropriate registry keys the COM is recognized. But the

We're running an older version of Samba on an Irix machine, and just got 2.0.2 working (finally!) on our Intel/Linux box. The odd thing, is that findsmb gives different results on the two systms. On Irix it lists the NetBIOS names with OS descriptions, but on Linux it lists the IP name and no OS description. I went through it line by line and found the first difference at: ../nmblookup -r

I am running Samba 2.2.8a on solaris 5.7 machines. I have had 2 subnet working just fine for years. I'm trying to add a 3rd subnet. I am having a problem with my XP machines on a third subnet. I have changed the registry so: requiresignorseal = 0 and requiresecurechannel = 0 and rebooted. and Enable NetBIOS over TCPIP is set. I have two XP machines one with NETBEUI install and one without

Hello all, There is still a use for netbeui (non-routed protocol) in the network. If you are using a VPN client that does not allow split tunneling, you can still access printers on another local system with netbeui. I would like to remove the windows system and have my print shares on my Linux system with Samba. Is all consideration of netbeui within the Linux/Samba environment gone?

Thanks to those who wrote and suggested I remove NetBEUI from my Win95 machines. Here's the next chapter in the story: First, based on another suggestion, I tried "netstat -a" on the Win95 machine "secretary". It didn't show any kind of traffic on ports 137-139 (even though files WERE being shared at the time). Next, I tried removing NetBEUI from

Greetings Here it goes the description: 1. Using Samba 2.2.3a 2. The client is XP 3. Used the .reg file "SignorSeal=0" 4. Started the Net Logon service 5. I joined the domain with success 6. Restarted XP and logged in, also with success, mapping everything... Here is the deal: 7. Updated XP (critical only) 8. XP stops working fine. I looked at the events. There was a problem with

Hi guys, First of all, thanks for your great work. So many people *need* Samba to work...! I have a couple of questions about Samba. I have been fiddeling with Samba config files for some time now (as well as reading documentation about it), and... there must be something I am missing. The network I am managing has a very, very standard configuration. It's a C class (netmask:

In hope and all googled out, have used the basic samba functions for some time. Have now installed a few RH ES3 & 4 machines and in the majority of cases, just have PC's access directories on the Linux servers and mount points from Linux to PC's. Have noticed, after the fact, that findsmd only finds itself. On the same network have two Linux machines Redhat 7.2 findsmb gets all

I applied the signorseal patch. just now, rebooted windows. same error the credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials isn't this what samba is supposed to do ?? share a linux box on a windows network? what am I doing out of the ordinary?

HI all ! I've read in a doc, that Samba is talking only with the clients where Netbios over TCP/IP is running ! I guess it is true, but are there any solution maybe to connect with a client where only the NETBEUI is the only one installed protocol ? It would be from DOS, I have a DOS boot disk which is waking up the Netbeui, and it would be difficult to prepare it to wake up the TCP/IP !

Howdy people, How can i resolv a little thing that i have here. Why findsmb doesn't show me the computer if it is using the SP2 (win xp) ? I use findsmb alot. Jorge Bastos

Hi, I would like to ask you to consider the attached patch for inclusion into the next samba release. The patch addresses the following three points: 1. 'make install' with VPATH fails at one point ( $(srcdir)/script/findsmb vs. script/findsmb ) 2. support for 'make DESTDIR=<somewhere> install' (e.g. to build a binary package) 3. support for 'configure

Hi, I replaced my old Windows NT box runnig as PDC with a Cobolt Qube 3 and Samba-2.2.2-C1. Cobalt Linux version is 2.2.16C33_III+VPN. With the WinNT as PDC, all windows client's in the network had only TCP/IP protocol installed and they were able to browse the network and see each other. With Samba running as PDC, TCP/IP only is not enough to browse the network. I had to install NETBIOS
