Hi there...this problem has me banging my head against a wall.... Until last week I was running Samba 2.2.7a on an old Slack box. I decided to upgrade as I needed more drive space and wanted something more current. I went with Fedora Core 2 and am running 2.6.6-1.435 kernel. I was using the default Samba install that came packaged with this release of Fedora and decided to try

Hi guys, I realy need your help. It looks like SMBD doesn't want to talk with NMBD, but why? When I run the command: nmblookup torpc8 The result is: querying torpc8 on 10.5.255.255 Got a positive name query response from 10.5.2.27 ( 10.5.2.27 ) 10.5.2.27 torpc8<00> That is correct.

Hello together! I have an problem with the wins server, based on a Gentoo distribution with Samba 3.0.24. The problem is following: After an restart of samba everything works fine, but after an undefined time period its not possible to make an nmblookup for some other computers. The samba server is also configured as wins server. an cut from the smb.conf: ...... domain master = Yes

Hello, Is it possible to add some static entries to the WINS database? We would like to add a few (logon-)server entries to it, when wins starts up. Why? We have several Samba servers who act as logon server on different subnets for different domains. Each logon server also acts as a local WINS server. It doesn't seem possible, not even with the options 'remote announce' or

Hi everybody I installed 2 subnets, one with a samba PDC fully functional and the other with just one linux client (called CLIENTE) with samba running a basic configuration. Subnet 1 has a samba PDC called BAR (domain FOOBAR with ip 192.168.1.1) that is also the wins server for both subnets and the domain master browser for 192.168.1.0/24 bar:/var/log/samba # smbclient

Hi all, We have a weird problem, Samba is providing an outdated IP address for a client (XP Pro) machine. This means that the client machine is not contactable by the other machines on the network. The IP is that which was previously used when connecting via the company VPN, although the machine has/is now plugged onto the company network and had has new IP via DHCP. This problem continues

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, since some weeks I have a little but annoying problem I want to solve within comming summer break. I am using samba 2.2.11 (debian woody, will be sarge after summer break). It is running in PDC mode and offering file and print services. Up and running smoothly for years now. It is using standard auth against /etc/samba/smbpasswd

Hello samba-list, I'm able to shutdown remote mashines using: supzli02pdc:~ # net rpc shutdown -S <target-pc> -U Administrator%<passwd> -r -t 1 --comment=Abmelden I wounder if this is also possible with an mashine account auth (from the PDC)? I couldn't get it to work: supzli02pdc:~ # net -n supzli02pdc -P rpc shutdown -r -t 1 -S <target-pc> --comment=Abmelden

Hello, I am using samba 2.0.4b on Linux 2.0.36. Since I changed some of the parameters in my smb.conf I have a very strange Problem. Everytime my Samba-Box wins the browselist election process two nmbds are started and my WinXX-Clients do not get access to samba (I could see the server but not access the shares nor login to the domain). smbclient -L server from server works fine. From another

Hi everyone, I am new to the list and new to Linux as well as to Samba. I've read quite a few howtos, man-pages and other docs on samba now. I configured my own SMB-server with smbd and nmbd. Of course I generated a smb.conf file and my server is accessible and running on the Linux mashine. I can connect with smbclient to the Linux-mashine and to the win2k-mashine (hostname and service

Okay - I've been plugging away and it got to the point that running smbclient was returning information about an Alfresco install that I never used, so I went ahead and deleted everything I could find on my machine that said "alfresco". I then removed samba using apt-get from the machine by typing apt-get remove --purge samba I deleted the /etc/samba directory and re-installed

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

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 */

Hey geeks, I have been reading several faqs and howtos now and haven't come very far with what I really wanted to accomplish: I have installed samba from the RH 7.2 distro rpm. I have set it up so I can access my windows shares on the linux mashine. I can "ping athlon" (which is the netbios-name for the win2k mashine) I can "ping linux" (which is obviously my

Hi Clients cannot connect to the Samba server (Version 3.0.25b OpenBSD/amd64), first attempt gives Access denied, second attempt gives The network name request is no longer available. Can someone please help in finding out what is wrong? I've been going through the logs and configuration the past week, but can't seem to find out what's the issue. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I have been fighting this problem for months now. My performance under Samba and XP has ben umbearable. The scenario is running Samba 2.2.7a under SuSE 8.0 as a PDC. The XP machine logs onto Samba and the roaming profiles are downloaded then stops for 15 minutes or so. The network is verified 100Meg full-duplex, FTP transfers between the machines are robust and so no problems in connectivity. Any
