Hello All, I am setting up a samba backup UNIX box. It will periodically login onto a windoze box(with smbclient), pickup the files, and save them. The problem is that I couldn't make any error correction in case of power blackout or anything similar. That is, while backing up, if I shutdown the WIN machine, one I'm backing up, smbclient goes crazy, giving broken pipe error.

I'm having the same kind of problem too. Links to other excel workbooks are really breaking badly. One of them so bad that if I highlight the file through a windows explorer view; it kills the window immediately. I'm using RH 7.2 and Samba 2.2.4 -1 Please let me know if someone has some suggestions .... So far I've tried: veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.ldb/*.LDB/*.xls/*.XLS

I cannot print to my Samba-printer from Win NT. Printing works fine under X-windows. What could be wrong? //Michael

Hello all, We are experiencing problems using MYOB Premier V6.0.2 on Windows 2000 computers SP3, with the data file residing on shared drive on Linux (Redhat 7.2) file server running Samba Version 2.2.1a and kernel 2.4.9-34. The MYOB Tech support have told me that it is a problem with our network but could not give me any hints where the problem might be. The MYOB database has been corrupted

Simon, What version of Windows XP are you using? If your client has purchased computers from Best Buy or a similar electronics "mega-store" they likely received WinXP Home Edition. (Which is what it sounds like based upon the use of Win9x machines you mentioned.) If that is the case, then you will be unable to get the WinXP machines to see the Samba Server (or a Windows

Hello, This error started after upgrading my distro(did a fresh install of fedora 30 server edition), which upgraded samba from 4.1.20 to 4.10.4. If I try to copy a file using a Windows 7 PC from the samba share to an old Windows CE share (on a CNC router table, so can't upgrade it) it tells me: An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error,

Helo, We use a big fileserver running Linux/Samba as fileshare. We are facing performances problems for which we'd like some advise : Clients are OS2(LanManager) and windows 2000 reading and writing lots of files in the same directory on the fileshare. We currently have more than 80 000 files in the directory (files size is about 100 Bytes). Could you please advise us some Samba tuning

Here's what you asked for - along with some tcpdump data that shows what I'm thinking the problem is...If anyone knows what this is - I'd LOVE to hear it - I've seen lots of posts about this type of error from others, and none of those folks have posted their problem being fixed (they probably gave up on it like I did for awhile...)

I've seen this problem mentioned many times in the various FAQs and How-Tos on the Internet, but none of the solutions presented therein have worked for me. [global] workgroup = UNIX server string = OPTIMUS interfaces = eth0 log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 # socket options = TCP_NODELAY

Hello! Ive just got the lovely job of converting and old Windows NT 4 fileserver to FreeBSD, ive set up samba before as a simple fileshare but this place requires roaming profile login from WinXP, Win98 and Win95 clients. My question is whether or not any of you people have any experience with this and might be able to give some tips on the way? I've tried fidling with it but i cant get

Hello I have samba installed on my server, with a fileshare. When connecting to samba, using windows, filesnames with " (double quotes) in them become gibberish on the windows client. Under linux I connect to these fileshares using NFS, and the names are correct (I also created them this way). I've made a screenshot: http://users.webmind.be/~glenn/samba.PNG How can I fix this?

Hi, I've got samba up and running, but I have the guest ok = yes option. Now I have the book Using Samba by o'reilly, and if I'm correct this setting should enable be to access the share without using a username/password, however it doesn't work, then if I enter a valid samba user when it prompts it works fine! I've included my smb.conf file, any suggestions would be

Hello, I use SAMBA under OpenBSD 2.8. When the clients log in some times they have a reject : Authentificate Failure... And in the log we can observe the same time : getpeername failed.

I have a Samba server running version 3.0.2-6.3E on Whitebox Linux 3. The samba server is joined to a NT4 domain. I can access the share from my XP Pro box just fine. But, accessing the samba share from an OS/2 box results in an error. I am able to map the share just fine using 'net use'. But when I try to access the share within the GUI, I get the error: "No objects were found that

Hi list, When I back ported vulnerability patch to existing samba4.1.21, I'm facing many fileshare access functionality breaks. (All issues are with DCE-RPC calls failures. Even though I have applied DCE-RPC patch) I see vulnerability patches have been provided for 3.6.x, 4.0, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 but I don't see 4.1 patch for this. Many functions difference are there between 4.0, (4.1) ,

Hi, I don't have the user root. No changes :( Sometimes a user gets permissions, sometimes not.

Hi Rowland, thanks for your suggestions. I have read and re-read the Samba docs to try and understand where I went wrong here. I added the uidNumber and gidNumber exactly as per your comments and that seems to improve the situation markedly. I can now at least see that the share exists from SAMDOM\stephenellwood which wasn't possible before. File access is now possible from

Hi all, Running SerNet Samba 4.0.9 on CentOS 6.4 serving as an AD DC and fileshare for XP clients. Added recycler per the example at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions to my smb.conf. Works great. My concern is that the recycle dir will eventually grow large. vfs_recycle's docs mention a parameter for limiting individual file sizes, but what's a best

Hi, we've been using Samba for a while, and are just now starting to switch our desktop computers to Windows XP. We are having a problem where connections to our Samba server fail, and the user is presented with a password prompt asking for a password for user Guest. They can't select a different user. I've searched the Microsoft knowledgebase, and the Samba list archives, and
