Hi, we had upgraded our SAMBA PDC from 3.0.14 to 3.0.22 on a Gentoo system. Now we have problems with peculiar spwaning of too many "nmbd" processes. In smb.conf WINS support is activated, so I would expect two nmb processes. But as you can see in the process list, during SAMBA is running after some minutes another nmbd child is spawned. I tracked down the problem to one example: We

Update: Just for my personal assurance, I decided to recompile samba again making sure to use the parameters I thought I had used the first time (./configure --with-winbind --with-acl-support --with-ads --with-smbmount). Without changing any of my configs, I restarted samba and winbind. One trick: to change rights on a file, you must own it or be root. This is where the "force user =

Follow up to my question for those also looking for backup solutions: Thanks for the input, it was helpful and gave me some leads. For What it's worth: I've been testing Novastor's Novanet 8.5. Pretty impressive. It has a nice GUI interface or a command line menu system, backups performed well, recognized my library without any extra effort on my part. Pricing isn't too bad

Yes, they have a 30 day downloadable demo. Here's the link: http://www.network-backup.com/datasheets/nnet8linux.html The installation was a piece of cake.

I am experimenting with MAC OS 9 using samba as a file server. I am using Thursby's DAVE to connect. For those who don't know, DAVE is a client utility that allows an OS 8 or 9 system to connect to windows file shares. The MAC can connect to both servers with no problems. However, when copying a file to the samba 3 server, I get the following error: The item <file name> could

Just wanted to thank those who have helped me (knowingly (such as Andrew Bartlett) and others unknowingly) get Samba set up to work with MS Active Directory and with ACL support working. As is typical in lists like these, there are way more requests than thanks. Being in the IT industry, I know personally the never-ending deluge of help requests and the seemingly very short list of thank

I appreciate your response and I tried your solution. However, it does not seem to help. I am using MS Active Directory on a Windows 2000 server for the authentication and rights for the users. I realize AD is based on LDAP, but it's been changed to suit Microsoft's needs - meaning it's not "pure ldap". Based on what you said, I made sure to create a user and a few groups

Sorry - I should have addressed this to Paul Eggleston who started this thread. Regardless who started it (the Samba + ACL howto), my offer still stands if I can be of any help. I'd be happy to help with this documentation, input, proof reading, whatever. There's definately a big lack here and the Samba team already has their hands full.

Intro: There have been a few postings on this subject with few answers. If anyone knows where to point those of us trying to work this out, or will enlighten us as to the limitations of ACL's and Samba, we would appreciate your help. So far, acl.bestbits.at does not have any information on this particular problem. Environment: Samba 3.0 alpha 21 or 23 (I skipped 22, but most likely it had

Hello i am sending winpopup messages throught (smbclient -M) and it seem to work fine but i dont recieve anything at my w98 machines. For example, i do: ---------------------- jorge@tagoror:~> smbclient -M ALFA added interface ip=192.201.11.67 bcast=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.201.11.1 bcast=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response

I've been trying to get the acl functionality (from windows) to work now for several days and have not found a solution. I've spent many hours Googling the web, and searching the samba list archives. If someone else has this working (in the 3.0 alpha code), I would appreciate seeing your config files, if you wouldn't mind. Goal: to be able to add user/group permissions to files

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup

Andrew, Thanks for your response. This reply is actually not a request for additional help. After much searching throught the lists and Google along with a lot of experimentation, I think I've got it (mostly) figure out. This post is just an effort to help others who might be struggling with the same issues as I was. I'm sure it's far from perfect and if anyone has suggestions on

If you can see the server, but not shares, you most likely have not published any directories. What version of the BE agent are you using? I've noticed 4.6 works well (the install actually works well and will walk you through the setup to publish the directories to be backed up). It's often easier to just publish root (but exclude /proc /tmp). Also, I've found out that in the hosts

Hi, Is there, on a intranet, any way to resolve the computername from its ip ? I have a setup where I know which users are on which ip, and I wan't to notify some events to some users with a "smbclient -M". But since I don't know the computername, I don't know any way to send the popups... thanks /torben t

is turned on. Can anybody kind to confirm with me? Our network is using a mix of Win2k server, Win2k Pro, Win98, Win95 and WinMe machines, where the Win2k server is the domain controller and terminal service applications server and the Samba is a member fileserver of the domain. All workstations logon and mount the samba file services. We'd like to check if the problem could be solved by
