I hope Time won't take me to a CDMA court martial in Guantanamo for unfair use of your quotes, Daniel! The point is that each norm is only really valid in its original context. It is the spirit of the norm which should guide us. The idea is: you slap an unorthodox attribute onto an object to evoke any kind of practical magic and then laugh your sides off. Who cares? The same with Readonly.

Hi I cannot seem to find any information regarding this in the mailing lists . I am testing a UNIX PDC before I implement it to general use in the network . It works fine It would appear with the win 2000 clients. But I essentially have two problems 1. When I have PGP installed on the machine and log in with a roaming profile .

hi, i'm experiencying a strange problem with a mandrake 9.0 machine, kernel 2.4.19, samba (different versions, including latest). when I copy large amount of data from any win98 machine to a share directory on linux, after a random time the linux machine hangs; not responding even to ctrl-alt-canc, only possibility is to reset. I was using a realtek 8139 (driver 8139too) which I know

Hi all, The two problems I'm having with ACLs on a W2k domain are still no closer to a solution. To wit, they were: (a) Users accessing the ACL properties dialog on W2k can modify and remove existing ACLs on a given file, but they cannot add new ones (that can only be done with setfacl on the cmdline; the changes are then recognised); (b) In said ACL properties dialog, the usernames

Hi sambafolks, I see a number of topics cropping up here repeatedly over the last few weeks: * Files > 4GB not supported This is confirmed and solved in 2.2.7a, but not in the current incarnation of smbfs (which is not part of samba, I know, but will get discussed here as a related topic) * desktop.ini weirdness in profiles I've seen this mentioned a few times with no sign of a

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

Hi Everybody, I've recently installed 2.2.5 on a SuSE 8.1 box and found a discrepancy. I've scanned the whole mailing list for the problem but only found several postings claiming it not resolving it. In short: Folder links consisting of a write-protected directory with an SH (System, Hidden) "Desktop.ini" and an A (Archive) "target.lnk" don't replicate

I had a major problem to today. The owner of a company I built a network for had a directory in her home directory containing most of her work documents go missing. I looked at the log for her workstation and she did work on them in the morning. By afternoon, she return to her workstation and tried to open the directory but it was gone. The directory and all the directories and files were there

Hello list, I have been using samba (was last at 2.2.2) sucessfully for nearly two years on my solaris systems as the file server to my pcs. Recently (since last friday) my XP boxes cannot map a drive, and auto-mapped home dirs cause a huge timeout of over 15 minutes! Nothing has changed in my config file, nothing changed on the system. Just to try something, today I upgraded to 2.2.7, but still

I found this in the archives: http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba/Feb2002/00318.html It pertains pretty directly to the problem I'm seeing. I first started having it with my 2.7 installed version so I upgraded to 2.8. I'm still having the same problem. Basically, I have a group of web developers that use the linux/samba server for editing files for the site. All the files are

John, don't be harsh with Philippe. To answer his question, you don't really need any more information than what he abundantly provided in his mailing. His problem is that he hasn't installed the ldap-devel or pam-devel or some other of the more than 100 devel packages that might be needed to compile samba with a distinctive set of --with-this-or-that options. His compiler simply

I've parsed a whole year's worth of postings in this group and didn't find any previous reference to the problem.

At installation one can choose to exclude some apps from the
