Hi there, I have a somewhat wide experience with samba. I've succesfully installed it as a client as well as a PDC on Windows networks. The last time, however, there has been an issue with the win9x stations. I've setup the Samba server over Linux to act as a PDC for the domain. I use dhcp to assign the network configuration to the hosts, and the only protocol installed on them is

Hi, I had no responses to my previous message about setting up a samba linux fileserver using account info from another linux box, so I've tried to figure out a solution. I need to have two separate servers, one holding the UNIX accounts for the users and also acting as a PDC, and a second one acting as a mere file server with a backup unit (perhaps a DVD-RW). All I want to do is that the

I have got an old pentium back. It is an Intel 66Mhz processor, 16MB RAM and a 2 gigabyte harddrive. Could it be used as a dedicated samba server and what Linux disto would work well? I was thinking of Debian 3 or Slackware. Can samba act as a 2000 PDC?

Hello! I trying to setup Domain Controller with Samba, but I have some trouble. As I understood, I ought to create "Trust Account" for every mashine, and if mashine name is "vasya" then account should be "vasya$" but FreeBSD is not allowed to create accounts with "$" characters, what should I do ? Thanks! /* spectre */

Hi all, I have succesfully joined together three LANs using OpenVPN over Linux (Debian) gateways at the 'exit' of each one of these LANs. The VPN seems to be OK, as I can ping network hosts from one LAN to another using their private IP addresses with no problem at all. However network browsing through the VPN is not working. The network diagram for my setup is at

Hey there, I'm planning on setting up a mixed windows network (there are 98, 2000 and XP clients on it). I want to use two Linux servers for the network, one will act as the mail server (which will hold the users accounts) and another one will be the fileserver for massive storage and backup. The mail server will be the internet gateway/router of the network, and I want it to hold the real

Good afternoon Support Team, I have discovered a disturbing error inside?anaconda-ks.cfg under the /root directory. Examination found the config file devoid of the string "buns". It's distressing, because I don't understand how my Anaconda can get anything done if it doesn't happen to have any buns. Please advise I need to know how to continue. Please feel free to contact me

tl;dr version: 3.0 produces “bio too big” dmesg entries and silently corrupts data in “meta-raid1/data-single” configurations on disks with different max_hw_sectors, where 2.6.38 worked fine. tl;dr side-issue: on-line removal of partitions holding “single” data attempts to create raid0 (rather than single) block groups. If it can''t get enough room for raid0 over all remaining disks, it

For quite a while, I''ve experienced oddities with snapshotted Firefox _CACHE_00?_ files, whose checksums (and contents) would change after the btrfs snapshot was taken, and would even change depending on how the file was brought to memory (e.g., rsyncing it to backup storage vs checking its md5sum before or after the rsync). This only affected these cache files, so I didn''t give

Hello, I''m using kernel 3.1.0 and I have both / and /home as btrfs. I used suspend to ram quite often and never had a problem, but yesterday I''ve suspended to get into a plane and when I resumed my /home was all about input/output errors. Reboot did not help either. My root (/) did not suffer any problems. Today I''ve upgraded btrfs-progs to latest GIT and tried scrub

Has anyone noticed that there appears to be a few problems with regards to Samba and in particular the usage of smbclient, which can do one of the following : 1) Complete & udder death of the NT networking subsystem (which requires a reboot to cure) 2) smbclient appears to lose its connection with the host being contacted and eventually needs to be killed. I'm not too sure how

Hi Folks, I want to use samba and amanda to backup NT/win file system. I downloaded the latest version of Samba and trying to install on bsdi4.0 and it complains that the OS is a "trapdoor" OS and will not work propperly. I installed it anyway and I can connect to NT no problem but when I connect it back to the unix box, it complains about "Bad password - name/password in a Tree

Hello. I'm trying to use smbtar/smbclient (2.0.3) to copy an NTFS share on an NT Server, onto a Solaris 2.5 system. The NTFS partition is 10Gb. At the 2Gb mark, the tar stops. No errors, the file just stops. The process (smbtar) returns. Is this a problem with Solaris 2.5 ? I believe it is, and if I upgrade to 2.6, I can create larger tar files. However, does anyone know if

Hi. My friend has a problem that smbtar cannot recognize space character in specified filenames. He tried to execute following command line to back file "long file name" up: $ smbtar -s SERVER -p PASSWORD -x SHARE -u username -t /tmp/backup.tar \ "long file name" but smbtar tried to include three files as 'long', 'file' and 'name'. :-( Here is the

Hi there!! Can someone tell me where I can find 'supported' lex and yacc utilities that work on NT? Pardon me if this question is not relevant in this list.. Please send me the replies directly to my e-mail 'k.sundram@blr.sni.de' ; since I find that this list is getting bigger and better..

At the bottom is what I got returned from AMANDA 2.3.0.5 after patching Samba 1.9.16p11 to give estimates. Any idea what I might not have done yet? My disklist reads: shokk \\thor\depot nocomp-user-gnutar To connect successfully to that server with smbclient, I have to do this, giving the same password that I now have in /etc/amandapass: smbclient \\\\THOR\\DEPOT -U BACKUP Also, the

Dear all, I''m new to traffic shapping although i have gone through marking and HTB queueing but i felt trouble in tc filter . I wonder if any one give me the hints about quantum or r2q. i guess quantum is used when two class has same prio and rate and want to give first priority between them and control the borrowing traffic. It should be set more than MTU too. But my
