similar to: Samba as PDC for WinXP, Win98 and Win95

Simon, What version of Windows XP are you using? If your client has purchased computers from Best Buy or a similar electronics "mega-store" they likely received WinXP Home Edition. (Which is what it sounds like based upon the use of Win9x machines you mentioned.) If that is the case, then you will be unable to get the WinXP machines to see the Samba Server (or a Windows

I have read through the mail archives to find a solution to my problem... to no avail. Here is the issue: I have a Samba 2.2.2 acting as a PDC, with Win2k I can join the domain and logon as a domain user. No problem. (So it is working and set up properly). With WinXP - Pro, I can join the domain, successfully. However, once I do the reboot I cannot logon as a domain user as I did with

My LAN is running Samba v1.9.18p10 under RedHat Linux v5.2. Using the SMB services are Win95 and OS/2 clients. It's all running fine. I will soon be adding Win98, though, and I understand that there is a question of password encryption. I'm concerned how the encrypted/plain-text communication of password will affect my existing configuration. If I reconfigure Samba to use encrypted

Hi everybody, we are currently running a small network with a samba server and a few Windows _95_ workstations. The server stores roaming profiles for all users and provides authentification (logon scripts, policy file, ...) Now, we are planning to add a Windows _98_ workstation. Q1: Will Win95 and Win98 be able to work with the same user profiles, policy file etc? If not, what can I do? Q2:

Hi Peter, i had a long, frunstrating web surfing yesterday night, searching for something that could apply to your case. I didn't find much at all, sorry. The only thing perhaps interesting to you could be this: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html This doc contains a section about migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2.x I think the problem lyes in the new way samba

Ok, here's a simple question, (I just rejoined this list so apologies if it has been asked a million times before). Our Company runs SAMBA 1.9-18p1 from a USS (Unix System Services) on an IBM Mainframe. I used to have WinNT 4.0, and I could access Files on Windows Explorer through SAMBA with no problems. Now I updated one of my workstations to WinXP Pro., and - no access to the Samba

Dear Wine-Community! Guild Wars stops on 2012-14-06 the support for Windows 95,98. But since Wine-Users could switch the Windows version to Windows XP or above we are not effected.. are we? This should be an action to made the Guild Wars Client safer and to protect User Accounts. Couldn't guess what security Mechanism Windows 2000 do support that is missing in Windows 95 and 98. No doubt

Hi folks - I am having printing problems with our older machines. Printing is working okay for our Windows NT, 2000 and XP clients. However, with windows 95 & 98, the print job gets put into the Samba spool directory (path = /var/spool/lp/tmp/samba) but doesn't make it to the printer. The print files stay there in the directory - don't get removed. Samba version is 2.2.7a, on

Hi, I had similar problems with Samba and speed. To begin with, I thought it was a Samba problem, and spent a lot of time stuffing around with smb.conf Then, just to make certain it was Samba and not a generic TCP/IP problem, I tried ftp'ng a big file to and from the Samba server from W95. Speed was only 20 k/sec - about 2% of the expected speed of a 10-Base-T network. Same for FTP'ng

Hallo! I have a small problem. As I installed a Samba-server at one of our customers (office of foreign affairs, AKA consulate), Win98r2 does not want to shut down, the system hangs. It looks like if Windows "forgets" to disconnect the services before shutdown (at least the system hangs - over night (!!) and according to logfiles the workstation has not made any disconnect). As I

Hi! Questions. 1) Do I have to upgrade to Samba 3.x to support winXP pro clients (NO PDC) 2) What are the complications of adding WinXP pro clients to an existing win95/samba 2.2.x network 3) IF i have to upgrade to Samba 3.x, is it easy, or do I have to plan to do a bit or a lot of work. -- background -- I am looking for the easier/quickest way to do this. the boss man is happy with the

Hi, This problem is driving me crazy.. I've read piles of FMs, but am stuck... is it the variable "domain logons = yes" which is causing me trouble? is it something else?? thx b --- [root@server samba]# more smb.conf [global] smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g machines -c 'Machine Accou nt' -s

hello, Need advise I've been attempting to get a winXP system added into the network of win95/98 systems and a Samba 2.2.7 server (redhat 7.3) current version of Samba version 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix the win95/98 systems work fine. the winXP has trouble .. 1) It can not see the samba server OR other systems in the network neighborhoods. (it CAN ping the IPs tho .. ) I've read

Thanks for the suggestion Andrew, I was hopeful, but removing the writeable made no difference. Still prints from NT, 2000, XP but not from Win95, 98. Any other ideas? -peter.

You wrote: I have been disappointed that I can't use Linux+Samba as an alternative to a Win9x or NT server for our GP medical practice. The software we need runs in win9x. We crave stability. But Linux+Samba is just much slower as a file server. It's normally quite fast: are you running over a dial-up network, requiring you to adust MTU's for speed??? If not, try ``socket

Please lend me some expertise... Ok, I know suggesting a bug is a bit impolite, but I cannot find a solution for this and none of the helpful people who have responded have been able to help either... If I come off sounding a bit short it's just because I've tried many things to get these older clients printing. :-) Don't mean to annoy anyone. Appreciate any help! Have several

Did you change your "security" setting in your new Samba e.g. from "share" to "domain"? -----Original Message----- From: peter.a.bryant@mainroads.qld.gov.au [mailto:peter.a.bryant@mainroads.qld.gov.au] Sent: Friday, 14 March, 2003 7:00 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Cc: John H Terpstra Subject: Re: [Samba] Win95 & Win98 - NOT WORKING - NT,2000, XP are ok (reposted)

Sorry to have to repost this (didn't get any response on the first post), we really need some of the fixes of the new Samba but cannot go ahead without the support for the older machines. Need to prove that Samba is the great product that I believe it is. Hi folks - I am having printing problems with our older machines. Printing is working fine for our Windows NT, 2000 and XP clients.

I have been running a Samba PDC with Samba version 3.0.0 on Redhat 7.3 for quite some time. My WinXP Pro SP2 system is part of the domain and everything has been working just peachy. And then, of course, I had to tinker with it. I upgraded the linux box to Whitebox Linux 3.0, a derivative of Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0. It comes with Samba 3.0.7. After installing and updating everything, I
