similar to: Is it possible to specify Username/Password in a UNC when connecting to a samba server from W2K?

I've been trying for weeks to get winbind working with RedHat Linux 8.0. I've got everything setup per the winbind docs on http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#WINBIND. I've successfully joined my NT4 domain with smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC -U Administrator. Running wbinfo -u returns my domain user list, as well as wbinfo -g returning my domain groups. getent

I ran into a situation where partial UNC support would be helpful and easy. Visual Sourcesafe runs well under Wine if I map \\vssServer\vssDir to a drive letter. Unfortunately, our administrator has the line journal_file = \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt in the sourcesafe config file. This causes an error dialog box "Bad DOS filename \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt". If Wine handled UNC

My apologies if this is an off-topic WINE question... I have 5 Wintel machines that all UNC map over to my Ubuntu server (\\Ubuntu\M-Music\) for my MediaMonkey application. I use SAMBA for network sharing and it works perfectly. I am trying to configure WINE to have the same UNC mapping structure on my Linux machine (eg. \Ubuntu\M-Music\) so I can share a common SQLite database throughout the

I find that Sys.glob() doesn't like UNC paths where the initial slashes are backslashes. The help page for Sys.glob() doesn't specificly mention UNC paths, but does say: "File paths in Windows are interpreted with separator \ or /." Is the failure to treat a path beginning with a double-backslash as a UNC network drive path the intended behavior? E.g., on a Windows system

Hi all I wish to run 'Enterprise Architect' from Sparx Systems[1]. The installer runs just fine, and the application installs OK. The main issue is that the license key file is a shared resource - many users can utilise the same license file (legitimately I might add!) at the same time, so the license file is located on a SMB share. The key file itself has encoded into itself what the

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?

Hi all, I am having problems running a logon script from a Winxp pro client. It appears that the logon script is not being run at all. Win98 runs the script fine, but none of the Winxp pro clients are currently running it. I am running RedHat 7.1 with Samba version 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix. My smb.conf is as follows: [global] netbios name = LOKKI server string = Lokki PDC

For those having problems with Vista, and unc paths showing up empty, I can confirm that: [global] host msdfs = no fixes the problem. This is on 3.0.24 with all patches. Note that I am not using Dfs root shares or the like. YMMV Hope this helps someone. Cheers! -- Richard Potter

Hey everyone, I have what I think is a fairly simple question. In the logon script for users, I have it set to map some drives and set the time on the user's workstation, all Win2K machines. Now, shy of putting everyone in the Administrator's group, how can I have it set the time on that machine? It only successfully works when myself or the other administrator log on to a machine

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins

I'm having an issue with occasionally slow-running calls to normalizePath. If the path is a non-existent UNC path, then normalizePath sometimes takes 6 or 7 seconds to run, rather than its usual few microseconds. My big problem is that I can't reliably reproduce this across machines. The example below generates one or two slow runs out of 10000 on my Windows machine. I haven't been

Hi, I am experiencing performance issues when using samba as an application server for starting exe files from my Windows XP machine. I have a shortcut on my desktop that links to an executable via UNC path. Startin the link takes up to 15 seconds, the second time it's a lot faster. After starting the application and I wait for some time it seems like my session needs to reconnect or

Some use Dave (http://www.thursby.com/products/dave.html) or DoubleTalk (http://www.connectix.com/products/dt.html). However, we use Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/) successfully to share the Unix/Samba file system with our Mac clients. Is there any reason you can't use Netatalk?

We're using rsync 2.5.6 version 26. Want to synch two W2K directories which are not on my machine (machine1 synchs machine2 -> machine3) I would like to synch the 2 direcories with the following syntax: rsync.exe -rva //remote_server1/share$/dir1/default.asp remote_server2::dir2/ When I try this it seems to work: building file list ... 1 file to consider send_files failed to open

Hiya! I have a developer that would like to be able to have access to a share on a UNIX server running Samba where he can use UNCs embedded in VB code on a win2k client to access files on the share. No problem, easily done. He also wants users to _NOT_ be able to use the Windows Explorer to map the drive and gain access that way. He wants only for his embedded UNCs to access the share. If you

Alright, I can be a bit thick sometimes, but by RTFM or other documentation I've solved a problem. ISSUE I had been having problems with profiles, I use using the following profile: <edited> [global] preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes security = user domain logons = yes logon path = \\%N\%u\profiles logon drive = H: logon home = \\%L\%U logon script =

Hi Graham, In that case I''ll have to redefine File.delete and Dir.rmdir in the win32-file package and win32-dir packages, respectively. Please add a feature request on the project page so I don''t forget. I should have it done this weekend. Dan Foster, Graham wrote: > I want to create a long UNC based path..

I am experiencing a strange problem that I hope someone out there has experience withf. We have a large fileserver running samba 3.6 backed by a 12T ext4 filesystem. We keep lots of VMware VMs on the filestore and I am trying to make some improvements to how we manage/launch/use the VMs. To that end, I've been trying to launch the VMs via the VMware VIX API by UNC path (not mapped drive).
