similar to: win XP off_line

Hi Everyone there! We have a very annoying problem since several months when browsing the local network (workgroup) from win xp clients (from win98 clients it's almost OK). The machines in the workgroup appearing very slooow (about 15-20 sec), and this value doesn't change even in the 2nd or 3rd browse. We have 1 linux (debian 2.4.21 pre 3) pc, running the samba (2.2312) server, about 15

Just so that it gets into the archives for future googlers: If you get 'system error 64' on a windows xp machine trying to connect to samba, then make sure you have nothing running on port 445. I had an apache ssl instance running on that port. Doh! Had to scratch my head a bit over it. XP doesn't actually need anything to be on 445, it just gets confused and gives up if there is.

Hello, Can you say me which is the key to add in the registry for Windows XP to Enable Plain Text Password? Best Regards

I have an issue where one client machine (out of 10, the only one running 'xp home media') is being forced off periodically and closing XP's file browser. It seems to be random. My Samba configuration is a simple one -- just sharing files, it is not handling authentication. All other clients work as expected: Log in, for the first time, access as many times as desired after the

Hello All, I recently upgraded one of my HP-UX servers from Samba 2.2.4 to 2.2.7. Since that time, I have noticed that disk activity on the file system where the Samba var directory is kept seems to be higher than I would expect. We have now begun to experience a problem with PC clients running National Instruments' LabView software, installed on a Samba share. When any PC client tries to

Dear Michael, I just have the same problem you have with samba 2.2.3a on a Suse 8.0 machine and win xp pro. Besides I performed all the steps below. >From my postings I learned that the prob might have something to do with a wrong mapping in smbusers file. It seems to me that the workstation account is mapped to user nobody. Up to now I was not able to solve the prob. Do you have any ideas

I am running a network with 2 XP boxes and 1 RH8.0 box running Samba 2.2.8a (bin pkg). I have also tried Samba 2.2.5 (the included distro ver.) and Samba 3 (not in depth though). I have added my WinXP username/passwd to smbpasswd and to the Linux User list. I've tried encrypt passwords and have even tried playing with the 'gpedit.msc' in Win XP to turn off encryption to 3rd party

Hey guys, I'm new to watching the list, and while I'll be looking through the archives as soon as I'm done sending this, I thought I ought to post my problem anyway. I'm running 2.2.7 on two machines on my network, with a 2k server running WINS. Periodically, when samba is running, network traffic to various places dies. It gets restored, and it dies, randomly. Most of the time,

running samba 2.2.7 on linux as a PDC. client box is win XP PRO SP1. When shutting down windows i am getting an error message as follows (paraphrased since it lasts for 30 seconds and disappears no matter what you do *&*&#$#$ ): Problem saving profile Documents and Settings/Start Menu/Programs/ Accessoreis/Entertainment/Windows Media Player.lnk there are lots and lots of other files and

Hello. New to SAMBA.(2.2.8 on RH9) Mixed environment of 98 & (trying) XP. My "net use s: /home" command works wonderfully for XP and 98. But XP throws in an "extra" "more home-than-home" directory - namely \username\.win_profile on the Z drive. I've tried disconnecting it with: net use Z: /delete, but XP claims to have a process running on it (even after 10

Ok, believe it or not, I've looked through all 209 pages of the Samba-HOWTO_Collection.pdf plus used this mail list and other internet sources, used those recommendations, tried almost every possible iteration on the samba.conf file, looked at logs until nauseated and have concluded that there is no way that Windows ME can connect to a Linux box using Samba. Connecting to the WinME box from

Bare with me please :-) I know this question has probably been asked before but a quick overview of the archives didn't help me out. Couple of parts 1. Can a samba domain be established that doesn't require registry hacks on an XP machine to add the XP machine? 2. What would a VERY basic smb.conf file look like that creates a samba domain for W2K and XP machines? 3. Does anyone

Can anyone peruse my attached host.conf file and determine what missing statement this error is referring to? Here is the command that generated this error: [root@cofr3 s390]# /usr/sbin/rndc reload /etc/host.conf: line 11: expected service, found `wins, dns, files' rndc: reload command successful Thank you in advance for your time. -------------- next part -------------- # # /etc/host.conf

Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

Hello ! I have a database server running in a RH9 machine with two networks interfaces, but the second interface (10.0.1.1) does only clustering with another server, i have a PDC and WINS Server resident on a Win2000 machine. I had have troubles on find my linux machine in a network neighborhood from a Win machine. So i verified the linux machine registration in WINS server and i could see the

mksmbpasswd.sh does not create accounts with the X flag in the password flags field. Does this X matter, and if so, what does it mean?

Can anybody give me a hint how to set up Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0) with rsync-ing WIN-NT PDC so that if WIN-NT PDC is down all the clients can still get Authentication service from Samba BDC(RedHat 9.0). i have seen in Samba documentation that it can be done using rsync but nowhwere it is clearly explained howto do it.. I ran out of gas by looking through google also... :-( With Best Regards YS

This could be quite simple but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how I can automatically mount a users home drive (which is located on a windows server) when they log in? Is there a pam module for that? Thanks very much, Sapan

I have a very simple setup on a Solaris 8 server, running Samba 3.0.1 (see smb.conf below). A desktop PC running Windows 98 (SE?) happily connects to and prints to my one shared printer, but an XP Pro laptop takes a loooong time to install the local driver and then just says "Access denied, unable to connect". I already told it to use a client driver and disabled spoolss. Here's

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book
