I actually find Samba a very kewl server app so the subject isn't coming from someone that has a preference for Netware over samba. My issue is actually two-fold, one being the record locking problems in Samba and the other being the slowness of dos apps in samba. I'm not going to post any log messages here as I don't feel that for this post they're really very relevant.

I'm hoping to get some guidance diagnosing intermittent smbd errors that have been cropping up in the last 2 months. They are sporadic, difficult to reproduce, and don't reveal much of a pattern so far except that the majority are generated by a couple of clients, although several clients appear to be affected. Typical symptom on the client is a hang when attempting to look at the share

I have a RedHat 9.0 machine and just updated to samba-3.0.5pre1. I had been running Samba to network two Windoze computers and using a network printer. Two weeks ago my house was apparently hit by lightning which created havoc with my computer/server. I got it going again but have noticed several lingering problems. For one thing, I can't print from it. I was going to check things

Concur ... I reckon that you need a bunch of how tos, that you can sent these rude people. I think that you are a victim of your own success. Samba has hit the mainstream, and now you are paying the price :-) Still ........ I prefer these messages to those filled with hypertext ... or worse.... 2 Meg of mime formatted drivel :-) Has anybody thanked you recently for providing so much help on

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

One of our group companies has just 'gone live' on a new laboratory management package. Although the software is M$-based (ie: expects a M$ server at the heart of it), it is running with its core database on a CentOS3 server using Samba for client access - in fact, the developers are amazed at the performance and say it beats a Win2K/2K3 server 'hands down'!!! Anyway, the old lab

Hi, I just can't seem to get winbind to work on my BDC. I'm using FC3 and samba 3.0.20rc2. My PDC is RHEL4 running Samba 3.0.14a. / Openldap. I can join the BDC to the domain successfully using "net rpc join..." , but when i enter wbinfo -t to check the trust relationship i get checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was (0x0) Could not check secret I

Hi, I got 2 problems :- 1. I was compiling samba-2.2.7-4.src.rpm on Redhat 8.0 system and with the option --with-pam_smbpass. It always fail when I am doing a rpmbuild -ba samba.specs. The error is similar to the person who posted on http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba-technical/2002-September/039415.html but no one answered him. I was also compiling with the following extra options:-

I ran into this problem with an old DOS program on a Netware server. When I moved the program to a smaller volume the problem went away. I concluded that the old program had a problem recognizing disk space on large volumes. Try setting the max disk size option in smb.conf and see if that helps.

I am looking for experience with migrating from Novell to Linux.I have Novell 4.2 - file and print server. I am looking for tools to migrate Novell users (and if possible printers) to Samba. Thanks and regards Max . 972-3-9188325

I'm getting samba setup, and it seems to be working. I have PDC/BackupPDC issues to resolve, and want to change things so the NT PDC authenticates users instead of setting them up using smbpasswd. Right now, I can access the samba box from Win98 and WinNT workstation with "manually setup" smbpasswd's. I have been testing performance and am a little disappointed, I hoped samba

Affected: Various 2.x.x releases of samba on Solaris 2.6/8 and Netware 5.1 SP5. Problem: Unable to copy files from a mapped Netware drive to a mapped samba share on a PC desktop (W2K).

Hello I cannot get my Windows98 machines to connect to my Samba server(2.2.4) shares. It appears that my Win machines are not transmitting the password. The Samba server looks OK. On the server machine, "smbclient -L <server> -U user1" prompts me for a passwd, then, after authentication, displays the shares. When I attempt to map a share from my Win machines, the samba log file

Does anyone know if this phone can or does work with Asterisk ? I have a potential client who wants to throw away their current mitel ip system (keeps crashing on a regular basis - not good for a phone-based company), but are reluctant to purchase new handsets. Thanks. Julian.

Hi, I've got an IAXy, and provided it with connection data - unfortunately didn't provide a fixed ip address, but left with dhcp. Everthing went fine, and I could work a while with it. After a restart of IAXy, it didn't negotiate a new IP address, nor used the old one. I even restarted the DHCP server and cleared its cache. No success. I went to another office with a different
