Well I'm trying to setup the Samba server to act as a print server too. I had uploaded the drivers for the 4 printers we have and I installed all 4 printers on my test computer and it worked well. But when I got back from my vacations one of the tech told me that he couldn't install the printer drivers from the server and when I check the driver didn't seem to be in the driver list

I was just with my boss cause he had trouble with some Excel and Word document on the Samba server. I noticed that when he saves an Excel document sometimes it takes a lot of time to save and sometimes Excel stop responding, when that happens the file stays locked on the server and when he tries to open it back, he can only open it read only. Is there a reason why it takes so much time to save?

When doing ./configure --with-acl-support it gives me a message almost at the end of "checking whether to support ACLs... no". What am I missing??

Which filesystem supports ACL? Ext2/ext3 with the acl.bestbits.at patch, XFS and what other? Does 2.4.18 supports XFS or do you need a patch for it? What about ACL on XFS? Do you need a patch? Is there any filesystem that supports ACL, that the kernel supports without patches? Any place I can find a comparison of different filesystems with advantage and disadvantage of each?

Hi, I had to rename a machine name today because someone used the same name on two computers. I just added a random character to the machine name and I thought that since I have the idealx script setup to auto-create machines accounts it would add it automatically but it didn't so I had to get the computer out of the domain and rejoin it with it's new machine name so it would add it

Well I had to set up Samba on a new server and everything seem to went pretty well for the most part but now when I try to log on the domain it gives me an error message saying it couldn't load the profile on the server. What I did was set up new server with pretty much the same configuration, then one evening when there was nobody here I copied all the profiles and other stuff from the old

Hi, I've stumbled upon this problem while trying to limit access to specific machine to specific domain users. I did it by setting Samba to obey PAM restrictions, and then using the pam_access PAM module ('account' clause) to do user validation (described below). On Win2000, this works fine - if an unauthorized user tries to login, Win2000 says 'Account not permitted to

Hi, I have some problems printing to a HP LaserJet 2300 and 4200, everything prints fine but I can't send more than 1 copy to the printer. I installed the printer on a local WinXP box with the HP installation CD and it worked fine but through Samba I can't print more than one copy. We have some other HP printers, a LaserJet 2200 and 4550 and they both work fine. It's like I can't

I am unable to mount a share using WinXP from samba 2.2.2 on RH linux. The same share works correctly with Win95 clients. WinXP reports this error: The mapped network drive could not be created because of the following error: The account is not authorized to login from this station. I looked through various archives and applied the registry patch for requiresignorseal=0 in this

Deal all, Hi. I'm a new user of isolinux. And I 'm trying to boot a WinXP installation CD with it. I extracted the bootsect, and place it into the same folder together with isolinux.bin. Here's a section of my isolinux.cfg: ... label winxp kernel xpsect.bin ... The boot splash showed fine. Unfortunately when I tried to boot it, I got the following: ISOLINUX 3.11 2005-09-02

Well I'm having some trouble with samba, I had those troubles on a box for quite some time and not long ago I moved all the stuff to a new box to see if it'll work better but it doesn't. I'm monitoring one person in particular because she's the one who do most of the editing stuff in there. What happens is when she opens a document (.doc or .xls most of the time), when she

Hi, I'm having some problems when compiling Samba against the OpenLDAP 2.0.27 shared libraries, I'm trying to compile Samba 3.0beta2 with LDAP support but it can't find the ldap libraries for some reason. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand how all these autoconf/automake script works but I did some research and it seems that Samba is testing to see if the ldap_init

Hi, I'm currently using Samba 2.2.8a and when I try to set some permissions on a directory from Windows, Samba only adds the permission to the directory itself and not the sub-directories. Is there a way to make Samba set the permissions on the sub directories also? Thanks Jean-Rene Cormier

Hi, I've been using rsync to create backup copies of all my data files on my Linux laptop to my Windows XP Home based desktop for about 6 months now. Been working as it should, copying only files that changed since the last backup. The first backup I ran after the time change to Daylight Saving Time it wanted to copy all of the files regardless of the timestamp. It copied old files

I've encountered an error while trying to "find" my way to my goal. But first, let me state my goal in case there is a pre-canned solution that does what I want (which would avoid the effort of figuring out the error...): I want to invoke the rsync *client* (but NOT the server) to make a local copy from one windows drive to another. Ie. rysnc -ax /cygdrive/c/path/sourcedir

I installed samba 3.0.0 beta3 on FreeBSD 5.0 alpha RELEASE, with ./configure --with-ldapsam --with-quotas --prefix=/usr/local/ldapsamba, the smbd log told me this: 2003/08/07 07:37:29, 0] lib/module.c:smb_load_module(40) Error loading module '/usr/local/ldapsamba/lib/pdb/ldapsam.so': Cannot open "/usr/local/ldapsamba/lib/pdb/ldapsam.so" [2003/08/07 07:37:29, 0]

Finally figured out why I couldn't login to my samba 3.0.2a PDC, I had a mismatch in one of the SID's. Now that I have that figured out my workstations crash when logging in after applying the personal settings. The error is in a window titled SAS window:winlogon.exe - Application Error with the message being instruction at 0x00450056 referenced memory at 0x00000000 the memory could not

Hello, My company runs several Internet Cafes in Mexico, where bandwith is limited and very costly. We use Linux to do NAT and firewall stuff and at each location we have about 30-40 stations. I''d like to know if anyone out there has any suggestions about how to use CBQ to limit the bandwith at each station. We only have a 128k circuit. The problem I am having is that since I have that

I'm a bit on the pissed off side right now. If you call Free World Dialup conf bridge.. "514" is the FWD number. Ok last night I was trying to talk to a few people in the conf bridge because they msged me saying they were there. Ok I call it says "Please Hold" then says "All circuits are busy"... Ok fair. I call like 25 times. Well needless to say FWD side
