I'm running Samba with automount to automatically mount CDs in a server. These CDs need to be changed periodically, so I wanted to use automount so that they could be changed by the users fairly easily. We use logon scripts to map the CDs to drive letters when users logon. Unfortunately, it seems that having a drive mapped is treated like the drive is being used, so as long as there is

Hi, I recently installed a new samba server to replace an older Novell machine. Now, we are having performance issues. I have installed many samba servers, and have not run into this problem before. Some background info: The server is an Athlon 1800+ w/ 512MB DDR RAM. We are using software raid on 80GB IDE ATA 100 drives with the VIA 82C3XX chipset. When mirroring the drives, we usually get

I've got an issue with remote files being deleted after the local file has been deleted. For some reason, this isn't happening. I'm running rsync 2.5.6 protocol 26 (yes, I know there are newer versions, but logistics dictates that I can't upgrade right now). I have used the --delete, --delete-after, and --ignore-errors options in all sorts of combinations. An example of the

You're going about this in the wrong way. Review the following piece of man-page: logon drive (G) This parameter specifies the local path to which the home directory will be connected (see logon home) and is only used by NT Workstations. Note that this option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon server. Default:

Has anyone had success with Appcac Plus (Dos) running on a samba machine? If so, any particular lanpak and version requirements? How about locking - I'll assume oplocks off (like NT). Thanks, Steve -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Hi, I'm having some trouble using rsync on W2K under Cygwin. We are using it to back up the W2K machine to a Linux machine. We are using the patched version of rsync 2.5.6 that allows it to run faster on NT/2K when calculating the changes. We can backup a directory without a problem, but in this case, we want to backup everything, so the directory we are backing up is \. We do not run rsync

I have a new Debian testing machine running the Debian Samba 3.0.5. Everything seems OK except that I cannot get users to have domain admin rights. I have Windows XP workstations. The workstations join and log onto the domain fine. A "net groupmap list" yields: server:/home/tnolen# net groupmap list System Operators (S-1-5-32-549) -> -1 Replicators (S-1-5-32-552) -> -1 Guests

I have a Debian server running samba 2.2.3. We are running Peachtree 2002 (version 9) and we have issues with the data being on the server. First, during the install, Peachtree says that our server doesn't handle long file names. Obviously it does, but we have to install it by acting like the data is on the local machine and then changing the .ini file to point the data directory to the

Good afternoon all, I have a few questions, and just joined the list and plan on staying. I had 2 Samba servers at work, both running apache, etc, that we develop on from work and at home over a vpn. My vpn upload speed is 25K, and at one time windows 2000 could save a document in less than 4 seconds from across the vpn using textpad. We recently downgraded our crappy 7.1 redhat versions to 6.2

Just wanted to know how to make a directory writeable. I have used the following variables, but have been unsuccessful to write to a particular samba share using XP: [share] ... writeable = yes write list = username Are there any more options I need to allow a user to write to his own directory? Thanks. sandrewz __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

It's been brought to my attention that I am committing the ultimate sin of sending HTML mail to the list (probably including this one). Unfortunately I have an infrastructure problem which is presently forcing me to use Outlook Web Access (I usually use Pine). I'm working on it. Your patience is appreciated. -dan miller <p>__________________________________________________ Do

Hello. I just started messing around with RSync to synchronize some RRD files between a couple BSD/Linux boxes. To test, I'm just trying to sync about 20 of these files which are about 256KB each. It seems that the full contents of each file are being transferred each time; i.e., the incremental transfer feature isn't working. I'm basing this assumption on output such as the

Hello, I have installed samba in a Linux RedHat 8.0 PC in my lab as a file server. The clients of samba are PCs with MS Windows98. Now I meet some problems, I can see samba server name in Network Neighborhood, but when I click the icon, I get this error message after a long delay: Cannot link to Linuxserver(server name). And I used Ethereal to track the packets to find the problem, I found that

Hi all, new to the list but have read the archives. I am trying to get my OSX box to be a PDC with win2k clients, but am having trouble. I can't seem to find any documentation on this, nor have I seen anyone with experience doing this. Can someone point me to some resources I could RTFM before I start asking questions to the list? Thanks!

rsync -aub foo/ bar/ will always overwrite a file in bar with a symbolic link of the same name in foo. And there is no backup written. Is this a bug, or is there a command-line option to change this behavior? In particular, I'd like to prevent the overwriting of regular files with symbolic links and send a warning message to the screen if it cannot be determined which is more recent.

Hi all, I started up a discussion on Hydrogen Audio about a new FLAC metadata block for storing cuesheets. This is really the last missing piece in archiving CDs. Here's the link: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?act=ST&f=20&t=4646 I would appreciate any feedback anyone has on the subject. If it's not too inconvenient, try replying on the forum there (not sure if you

It's official: http://xiph.org/ogg/flac.html It's OK to keep submitting patches but I'm going to hold off on integrating anything until CVS is moved over. Note that codec code (libFLAC, libFLAC++, libOggFLAC, libOggFLAC++) will be covered under Xiph's BSD-like license from here on out.

I was reading in the archives that people were looking into how to play ogg orbis on the Lyra. Did anything happen with that? I have a lyra, and I'm looking into buying another mp3 player soon-- if there is a way to play ogg vorbis on one of the ones I'm looking at, I'd really like to know.
