If I enable wins support = yes & I start smbd it starts smb & nmb. When I restart the service it says that there is no nmb service at 10045 running. When I do a ps -aux, you can still see the service running. They will keep building up until I manually delete them. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a mac osx 10.2.3 as a server, anyone unfamiliar with it, it uses admin as main user. root is still on the system. Admin is admin of the password server which is required to login to samba. therefore root can't be the one to join. yet admin doesn't have rights to modify smbpasswd. I know the smb.conf config should work. I have added the users and machines using smbpasswd

On a windows server there is a local profile by default unless you tell it to have a roaming profile. I want to have the same thing happen. All the machines say that they used the local copy then a couple seconds later it says it could not copy to the server and any changes will not be saved. I know that I could let it be a roaming and switch it to a local later but in a larger

I have been playing with samba for a short time. I am not a programmer but a I have some questions on if acls within samba are possible, regardless of acl's in the file system or kernel. In samba now, you can have read list or write list and say this user and/or group has write and/or this user and/or group has read only. This is a scaled down version of an acl. What if they created a

I have a win2k domain ... 2 of the client machines are Red Hat (7.3 and 8.0). I set everything up to use the DC to authenticate ID/PW. Everything worked perfectly until a week or so ago ... Samba would automatically create a home folder and the whole nine yards. Now I can see the shares on the Samba machines, but I can't access them ... just prompts for the ID/PW over and over. I can mount

Hi, I've finally been dragged kicking and screaming into the wonderful world of XP. I've been able to join a domain and login with the help of the docs on samba.org and gleaning info from this list. Google and I don't get along. My question is How do I get the logon script to run when XP logs in? Win 98 doesn't have a problem running the logon script. Here is part of the

Can anyone provide me a few suggestions? I installed Redhat 8.0 on my laptop. XP Pro on my windows box. I am using Samba/SWAT at the moment as well. I have the basic smb.conf that I took from the example folder and made no changes except opening the public share. (unfortunately I am at work so I cant show exactly what I have). I also added the workgroup = line under [global] and added my

Does any one know if there is to be a seperate folder created under the print$ share for any of the 64 bit systems? Thanks in advance.

I am new to linux and samba. I have looked everywhere for a good place that has instructions at a newbie level on how to use srpms to get samba to work with acl's. I have got the xfs filesystem to work. I think that I need to recompile samba to make it work with acl's, but do I also need the kernel to be patched since the filesystem supports the acl's natively? and can someone

Does any one know the status of Samba 4. I was reading about it on the Samba web site and it sounds really nice. I am not complaining, just wondering how it is doing, if they are able to make it smaller with the web configuration built into the smbd. It will be so good. Samba 3, I could not believe how much better it got so when 4 comes out it should just be out of this world. I also

Is there a way to add the linux user to the system on the fly while you run smbpasswd -a and even set the password so you do not have to do two steps or to have adduser or useradd add a user to smb by default with the same password if created. Many of the users in a small business do not remember to add both and then get frustrated when they can't use the system to find it is because

I was wondering if there was a %{char} that would give me the windows version or something equivalent so that Windows XP specific "stuff" doesn't get stuck with Windows 2000 "stuff". Thanks for the help. --Kaleb PS: Please CC me as I'm not on the list.

We are using SAMBA 2.2.4 to support a large community of Windows users. The latest deployment of PC's come with Windows XP, and we need to disable Password Encryption on those to use SAMBA. We need help in locating the "EnablePlainTextPassword" key. Thanks in advance Jaime A Cifuentes

I have a mac running Mac OS X ans samba 2.2.5 which is provided by Apple. The Linux server have samba 2.2.8 (the last one). Sometimes, in the server logs, you have: [2003/03/26 14:26:30, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436) read_data: read failure for 4. Error = No route to host in this case, the Macclient lost the samba connection and has to reboot because a silly error (Mac error: -47, %

Hoping someone can give me a pointer on this: I'm trying to connect a Mac OS X 10.2.6 machine to Samba 2.2.8 hosted on a Linux 2.2.20 machine. I can authenticate, connect to a share, navigate through. I can even delete and move files. But, whenever I try to save a file in most programs, or copy a file in the Finder, I'm told that I don't have the privileges to do it. Strangely

I thought that it was quite impossible to do that due to the Domain SID as well as the SAM list that currently Samba is unable to retrieve. (Not that it would have helped me any, since our old NT 4.0 PDC took a major Hardware failure.) How would one duplicate the SID, is that possible with 'smbpasswd -S' from the new Samba DC?

Hi, I have a need to do some file transfers between my AIX 4.3.3 boxes and Apple PC's. I use SAMBA to provide shares to PC's, but I know nothing about Apple. FTP is an option, but less desirable than setting up a share. Does anyone have experience with using SAMBA to set up shares with Apple clients? I know that there are, other products to accomplish what I ask, but in terms of support

We have recently upgraded from Samba 2.0.4 to 2.2.7 on our test machine with a view to using W2K and WXp clients. We are using Samba on Solaris 7 version of Unix. Our client PC's are all NT 4, SP5. We have a default profile for users who login and load the major application (they don't see any of the NT desktop or have access to the Start button). Other users who have access to the desktop

Hello, We are having this issue with samba and OSX 10.2.3. We are using freebsd4.7 serving samba as a fileserver for our company, we have a mix of windows and macs connecting to it. The windows machines work just fine the macs are another story. I have narrowed it down to this: I can open a file/document from the fileserver on my mac and edit it but it tells me I dont have the permissions to
