similar to: samba backup software

Our tape backup software (run through windows) backs up items based on whether the archive attribute is set or not. If it is set, then it needs to be backed up. Then it removes the attribute. When a user modifies a file, the attribute is again set. This is how it normally works. Samba will not allow the Archive Attribute to be unchecked. Is there anyway to allow this functionality. Samba

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

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

Hi, I build an alpha23 samba3.0 system in win2k AD domain. Just a few days ago, it works very well. But in recent, I find it cannot work. I am sure it is the reason for kerberos authority. When I kinit a ticket successfully, it fails to run "smbclient \\Win2K-server\c$ -k", the error message will be as blow: Doing spnego session setup (blob length=109) Doing kerberos session setup

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.

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.

Hi all, As promised, I have started a howto document on setting up Samba with NT ACL support, based on experiences in my workplace, as documentation for this seems to be on the short side at the moment. It is available at the following address: http://www.bluelightning.org/linux/samba_acl_howto I have yet to convert it to proper DocBook format, and it needs more material (probably

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

We have experianced a strang behavior with QuarkXPress files. These files can be opened/modified/saved by user a, user b can open/modify the file but saving is not possible. With all other applications open/modify/save files is possible. We use: SuSE8.1, Samba 2.2.5, reiserfs. Directories/files are set 2770 Thank you for your help Markus

Hello everyone, I need to setup some directories (in RHL 7.2 running Samba 2.2.3a w/ W2K PDC) to allow multiple groups, each of which has different permissions. If this can be done on the Linux side, this would be preferred, but if it has to be done in Samba, any help in understanding how to make this happen is appreciated. I know Windows NT/W2K allows multiple groups and I would think Linux

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 =

Hello, I am trying to get the archive bit to behave under Samba 2.2.2 on a Linux box (Slackware 8.0) serving NT and Win2K clients. I have "map archive = yes" and "dos filemode = yes". If I have "force create mode = 0100", creating new files sets the archive bit (good) and "attrib +a filename" will turn on the archive bit if it was off (good) but

Given that rsync, smbclient and smbmount are all kissin' cousins, this seems like a good place to post this question. I'm building a linux backup server which will be archiving other linux and some NT servers. The Linux boxes are being rsynced over ssh, so everything is happy there. The NT servers were initially going to be smbmounted and rsynced, but this ended up hanging about 30%

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

If you are not using a domain and have added the users directly with the smbpasswd utility, you can just cat the smbpasswd file. Typically, it's found in /usr/local/samba/private directory. If it's long, you might want to use more (or less). Rick Segeberg Provo Site Manager, IT Department The Waterford Institute rick.segeberg@waterford.org -----Original Message----- From:

For several reasons we switched over to XFS, which is from what I have heard the favorite file system of the Samba project. Anyway, it has built-in backup / restore programs which I am trying to get working properly. No matter if I tell xfsdump to backup a directory which does or DOES NOT exist, it always complains that it does not exist. I just wondered if anyone ran into this error situation

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

Hi, Thanks for your reply. The file system type is xfs. And I found xfsdump/xfsrestore can undo the remove. I use dd to copy the partition as one image file. How do I mount the image as read-only device? Then I can try to recover the deleted files/directory anytime. Thanks!
