I was thinking of putting a slightly bigger HD on my Linux server and would like to know the easiest way. I know that ghost works well on FAT32 partitions, but does it work on Ext3 partitions too? Id rather not reinstall if I don't have to, so any and all suggestions are appreciated. TIA Kev

I have a Windows 2K SP2 terminal server and a Samba 2.2.7a server. The Samba server uses security=server with the 2K terminal server as the password server. Users log in to the terminal server and attempt to access (always the same) share on the Samba box. When there are no sessions open to the Samba server the connection from the terminal server always works; subsequent connections (with

I've more-or-less successfully installed IE6 under 20050111. It works fine but PNG's don't display, so I tried reregistering the pngfilt dll: wine regsvr32 c:\\windows\\system\\pngfilt.dll wine: Unhandled exception (thread 0009), starting debugger... Usage: winedbg [--auto] [--gdb] cmdline (not sure why the debugger doesn't start properly. I did have debugging enabled when I

I'm in the process of setting up Samba 3 on a Fedora core machine with a second machine being an XP machine. I can ping from either machine to the other. The command smbclient -L netbiosname on the linux machine gives me a "Connection to netbiosname failed On the XP machine I've enabled Wins over TCP IP but the command nbtstat -n on the XP machine only lists itself while the

Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)

But the win wks on the other subnet is configured to use my SAMBASERVER as its WINS SERVER, and it is configured using the IP Adress of the SAMBASERVER and not the name. Shouldn't this do the trick? win wks is on a wireless subnet and hence runs at 11 MBPS, while the SAMBASERVER is on a wired subnet. I read somewhere that windows does some kind of "optimization" with slow networks.

I recently reinstalled Linux on my fileserver (RedHat 7.2), which was running Samba (v 2.2.1a). Now, trying to reconfigure Samba back to its original state (silly me didn't keep a copy of the conf file) I've run into a problem. My win98 machines can't find the Samba server by name, but they can by number. By this I mean: On a Linux desktop, smbclient -L //marvin/ works as

Hi, I'm having an issue trying to make a Windows machine sambaserveroin a Samba domain. Samba is running with LDAP backend (OpenLDAP). When I try to join the domain, Windows says that the machine account does not exist. The machine account, however, is successfully created in the LDAP directory after the join fails. When I try to join again, Windows says that the account already exists.

Hello, I have problems setting up a canon multifunction ir7200. When I print the windows test page, I have something like "smiley" "arrow" "arow" "smiley" "arrow" name_of_the_samba_spool "smileys" driver.dll etc,etc,etc, on a single line. Did somebody used such a multifunction with Samba ? Below is a (long) description of what I did. I

Hi all I've a samba server listen on eth0 (everything ok) and eth2 server1 has eth2: 192.168.100.212 <--> 192.168.100.213 (another linux server) with another interface 192.168.30.0/24 from network 192.168.30.0/24 I can ping 192.168.100.212 and works with samba shares (but only using numeric IP) I don't see any computers from windows machines. nbtstat doesn't find any host

Hi everybody! I have a problem wich has pusseled me for sometime time. I have put samba on an internal subnet wich is the same as the windowsclients. Everything works great as long as internet is up and running but if internet goes down then the windowsclients can't find the sambaserver or just simly times out when trying to log in. On one installation I have a netgear router wich handels

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a Windows XP Pro client to connect to a Samba server (version 2.2.8) on a Redhat 8.0 linux box, but have been having trouble for the past 3 days. I have gone through Troubleshooting Samba at [http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf] but I can't figure out how to fix the problem. I suspect that the broadcast address may not be the same on both

Hi @ all, I have two samba-servers running perfectly! Now I configured a third machine which provides some backups. Since I brought it up in the network the windows client won't execute the netlogon-scripts... When I turn off samba-services on the backup-machine it works again. Did I miss something??? Maybe you can open my eyes... Best regards Sascha Here my conf-files: PDC

I recently upgraded Samba on my DC from a working 4.3 installation to 4.5.0. Once done, I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Updating_Samba#Fixing_replPropertyMetaData_Attributes and ran: samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix --yes After that, I can no longer access the shares on this machine. I get the "Security ID structure is invalid" error above. In

I am hoping to run a Unix process from code running on a windows client, I am told this can be done using Samba, does any one have any example code to do this?

This worked great last time I figured what do I have to loose... I can mount to myself mount -t //sambaserver/dir /test/samba this works fine...I even have username and passwords going through a win nt box. When I'm on a winnt4.x box I see sambaserver in the browse list but when I enter a "net view \\sambaserver" I get : No service is operating at the destination network

Hi and hello. Does anyone have installed Samba using the ports-collection in OpenBSD recently? My WindowsXP-computers can't find the computer on the network at all. I use the standard smb.conf wich comes with the port-installation, exept these changes: [global] workgroup = NETDISASTERS encrypted passwords = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2.0./24 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.0

Hi Jeremy, Hi Steve, Hi Ronnie, thanks for your replies and the profound discussion. I think, it's best to demonstrate my problem case along an real world example: The following log of a console sesssion shows how I am doing the mounts on behalf Linux Kernel CIFS-FS Module on the client side against a Samba 4.5 file server (both running on Debian Stretch 9.8) via SMB/CIFS resp. SMB2 protocol:

Hi all, My NT environment cannot recognize my SAMBA servers(Bad IP address when ping from MS DOS prompt) and after I restarted the nmbd daemon it can see my SAMBA servers. Does anyone know why this happens? Is it there is a change in the WINS server's database? Please advise. thanks & regards, Bridget
