Hi all I am fairly new to samba and XP. I have a client who we set up a samba server for, they are complaining about documents taking about 30 secs -2-3mins to open but only sometimes (it can be very frequent). I have seen this and captured a piece of the log file I wonder if any one can make any sense of it... I have been looking on the net and trying various things all day but to no avail...

I'm hoping someone has some insight into a problem I'm currenty having, which is: No one is able to edit (in place) documents with Word 2000 on a samba (2.2.6) disk share. A user can open word and save a document to the share, but when they go to edit the document Word says "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error". From Microsoft KB Q211632 it appears

<Long Post, sorry!> Folks, I have a really nasty problem preventing me from migrating a bunch of NetWare 5 servers to Samba--attempts to copy large (> 2MB+) files to any samba share results in an error. To clarify what I mean by "error": 1. I attempt to copy, using explorer, a 2MB+ file to any samba share. 2. A 30 second or so pause occurs (copying this file to any other

Hello list! I've seen the threads in this months archives on oplock issues, so I hope I am not hitting a sore spot by bringing it up again. The reason I am beating on this is that I've got a testable, repeatable issue with Win2K terminal server (SP2) running CorelDRAW 10 (patched to current) against a Debian Woody box running Samba 2.2.3a-6 for Debian. Since I can repeatedly test the

Hello, I hope anybody can help me with the following tough problem. We are running a samba-server (3.0.7) for providing fileservices for our constructions department. Since 2 Weeks we encounter problems with 2 of our workstations, running under win xp professional (The third xp workstation and the 2 running under win2k do not have this problem). The cad program tell's me, that it can not set

Hi team, I've got a problem with a WinXP client being unable to save a document to a Samba share. The server is running 2.2.6pre2 (on FreeBSD 4.6). The XP client hangs for a VERY long time when attempting to save a file (at least the first file saved - the problem seems to diminish for subsequent saves/files). Turning the debug level to 3 produces the following messages (repeated many many

Hi to everyone, Something quite strange occured to me this weekend as we wanted to switch our network to w2k ads structure with a sambaserver as main fileserver running winbind. The windowsprofiles are supposed to reside on the sambaserver and the client successfully loads the initial profile. The first time the user logs on to his machine, he gets some default .msi-softwarepackages assigned by

Hello, I'm trying to use samba (Version 2.2.3a-6 for Debian) as a DC for a windows 2000 pro network. Everything seems to work OK, except the roaming profiles. Every few days (I haven't locked down a pattern yet) all machines connected to the server loose their connection, and no one can connect again until the server is rebooted. I'm using log level 3, and this is what log.smbd

I'm having troubles with a DOS program running from a samba 3 share. When I close the program it tells: General failure reading drive F Abort, Retry, Fail? (F is a network drive mapped on the samba share) I have increased smbd debug level and after retrying I have this in the log: [2003/09/28 11:19:56, 3] lib/util.c:unix_clean_name(580) unix_clean_name [/TTN02/RESHET1/DOJ] [2003/09/28

Hello, in school We have CentOS6.5 server with Samba3.6.9 (default from CentOS3.6.9 repository). Clients are WinXP, Win7 and Win8.1, We use roaming profiles. Everything is working perfect, except that when user logs off from Win8.1 client, he is not able to log in for about 15 minutes to any Win8.1 client at school. After 15 minutes it is possible again. I do have pretty standard smb.conf, no

Hi everyone, thanks to John Terpstra's hint (teh old thread started with Msg crn5v6$sh8$1@sea.gmane.org), our xp clients now do join the domain :-). However, they still fail to read user profiles which were created by the old Win98 clients. The relevant parts of smb.conf look like this: ---------------------------- begien smb.conf ---------------------------- [global] domain

Howdy. I'm running samba-3.0.2-2 (from the binaries on samba.org) on a RedHat 9 box with kernel 2.4.20-28.9. I can access shares from my Windows XP Home box, but the performance isn't very good. When I looked into this, I discovered that apparently the connections are getting dropped, over and over again, which causes a lot more work, I'm sure. Here's a snippet from my main

I read a message from the archives that describes nearly our exact problem that has begun to appear after 11i was installed on our server. File access has become slow and unreliable, especially under high loads. As a matter of fact, I had a logon script running a series of echo -- it was executing them at about 1 line every 2 seconds. The way we "solved" the problem was moving the Samba

Hello experts, I?ll try and keep this brief but detailed (if that?s possible.). I?m sure I don?t understand the technologies sufficiently but I believe I?m seeing counter-intuitive behavior with my Samba 3 setup. What I want is nice, tight Win 2K3 security. What I?ve got is ADS integration, including domain user authentication using winbind, but I can?t get the security level right. Problem

I have a Red Hat 8.0 PC with a scanner connected and I am scanning images with sane. I would like to store the scanned images on a Red Hat 7.3 file server using Samba, but I am having some difficulty understanding how the file and directory security preferences work. I can attach to the share (called "Shared") with: smbmount //server/Shared /mnt/S -o username=username%password and
