I am running SAMBA on Redhat Linux 7.x. I have a share for our office as a file server. The regular Win9x client can browse / edit / delete and use the server with no issues from the Windows Explorer / Applications except for one. We run AutoCAD (drafting) with an extension Cadpipe. Cadpipe has it's own file browser style interface where you add files to a list to create a

Our office is running Samba 2.2.x on Red Hat 7.x We have a mixed bag of Win98 and recent W2K clients. The new W2K clients have no trouble connecting to the current shares including a home share: [homes] comment = Home Directory writeable = yes read only = no browseable = no create mode = 0600 directory mode = 0700 hide dot files = yes veto files = /desktop/ veto files = /.*/ inherit

Hello, Samba 1.9.16p11 on Sun OS 5.6 For a NT4 Server SP4, I can not access to the samba server. When I look at the log.MachineName file, I see the error "password server not avalaible".

Can someone tell me what has to happen to get the aliases working in samba? Below is an earlier posting. Thanks!! Does anyone have aliases working correctly? Suppose I am moving the samba to one server to another, say VIPER > to JOKER. > > In smb.conf I change the 'netbios name = VIPER' to JOKER > and I also want the old name to be seen as well. To do this > I create

Hey everyone, We're coming up on the next merge window, and I only have a couple tiny fixes for ocfs2. I thought I'd list up what I know is outstanding, and I was hoping to find out if I was missing anything. If I am, I need to get it in linux-next and set for the merge window ASAP. - metaecc-stats This is a trivial patch I put together to track errors seen by the blockcheck code.

Dear all, as you already know, it is possible to send short winpopup messages to Win boxes using the command smbclient -M host. If a Win user wants to reply, it should be possible to use the Windows' WinPopUp GUI to reply, but the message gets lost somewhere. For example: smbclient -M winbox Added interface ip=192.1.1.125 bcast=192.1.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Connected. Type your message,

I''m desperate. A few hours ago I was checking my server because we are running a survey for a new client and everything looked good for that app but I noticed another Rails app was quite large (twice as normal) so I decided it was time for a restart. Big mistake. Upon restart the application gave me a 500 error. Checking the logs I found a stack level too deep error that after hours I

okay so after trying a bit to understand how all of this works i think i need a bit more support. thanks to joel, my problem where users can log on multiple times looks like it has a solution. to prevent this, he outlined a process by which one can monitor the process IDs of samba users, then user smbstatus grep for that user, find the process id, and then do whatever i want with them. in this

Hey, I posted a few days ago about how the printer paper sizes are differ from the admin account when they are installed. People at my work are getting pissed at the moment and all they want to do is to be able to change the paper sizes themselves and not have it done at the server Is there a way to do it? I fluked it at one stage and had it working like that, I think I deleted the driver

Hi, How should you deal, as an administrator/root, with locked files that stay open after a PC crash and the user can't access them any more. For example: The PC crashes and the user restart. MS-Outlook complains that it can't open its outlook.pst file, that is on a samba share, with the proper read/write access and the user can't get any mail. As root you do a smbstatus -u and you

How can I tell who and when users logged in to a Samba server? The clients are a mixture of Win9x computers. I want to compile a chart of computer use by user.

In investigating some performance issues (elderly server with just 10Mbps ethernet), I noticed that smbstatus reported hardly any open files with oplocks. In particular files opened with Office 2000 & XP stay un-oplocked. I have checked and testparm claims oplocks are enabled and manual says this is so by default. The clients are all Windows 2000 servers - so we have 1 samba connection with

I just installed Samba for the first time. Installed and setup like a dream. Unfortunately, I can't login to save my life. The server appears in the Net. Neighborhood, but when I double-click to login, the login window give the following message: Incorrect password or unknown username for \\SERVERNAME Entering a username and password (from /etc/passwd) returns: \\SERVERNAME is not

Hi everyone...I'm at a dead stop setting up Samba, so let me jump right into the problem: First, the setup: I have a RH7.3 box and a W98 laptop. The RH box also has a W2k Pro partition. We have them on a 4-port 10base-T hub along with our RoadRunner cable modem. Now on to the problem: As most of you are already aware, RR uses DHCP to assign IP addresses to client machines at boot time.

Hi, after updating our printserver from Samba V2.0.6 to V2.2.7 I encountered the following problem. Samba does not execute the (root) pre- and postexec within the printers section. If you are using these command in another section everything works fine. Does anybody know if these command are not supported in the printers section anymore? smb.conf: [global] ... load printers = yes lpq cache
