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.

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

A trivial case: executing the following DOS command from the prompt line on a Win2K SP3: %windir%\system32\attrib.exe +R H:\dir can't set the R(eadonly) flag on my home dirs (2.2.7): drwxrwsr-x 4 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:59 . drwxr-sr-x 2 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:59 dir -r--r--r-- 1 me users 0 Nov 27 17:59 empty.txt drwxr-sr-x 2 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:27

I know of a few techniques for minimizing server bandwidth when bittorent is not an option. 1) If you have the beta isos, you can rename them as centos 5 isos and then rsync from a mirror that allows rsync (such as kernel.org). Then only changes from beta to centos 5 plus some overhead is downloaded. I suppose you could use this technique with bittorrent too. 2) Instead of downloading both cd

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

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.

Hello, I'm trying to set up a samba server for a friend who has a mac. He's running OSX, version 10.2. He's got some really big video editing files that are well in excess of 2gb.
