Hello We are running samba on SGI/SUN/HP fileservers. We saw a problem on the SGI fileservers. After a while a lot of defunct smbd deamons were hanging and occupying the slots in the process table. We saw the problem with IRIX 5.2 and samba 1.9.16p11 and IRIX 6.2 and samba 1.9.17.p4 . Has anybody seen this problem before? This is a serious problem, because the smbd daemons are filling the

Hello, We recently switched from "security = user" to "security = server". And are now using a NT4 server for password authentication. This method gives less problems with NT4/W2K Workstations and encrypted passwords. When we where using "security = user" Samba authentication was against the local Unix password files and login was fast without any delay. After the

John, I haven't done any direct performance testing, although I am planning on figuring that out now. (BTW, how is performance testing ran?)

Hi, When trying to copy 5000+ files from a client PC to a Samba server I have the following problem. Halfway during the operation it hangs on always the same file. Windows XP (SP1) gives: Unable to copy file [filename]. Specified network name is no longer available. (I had to translate this from Dutch, so it is not the exact message). When checking with smbstatus I get this:

Hi, I have just compiled and linked Samba 2.2.7a on a Solaris 8 server with the GCC 2.95.3 version compiler. I get the following compilation warnings. Can i still use the software without a expected crash?

I assume I am doing(or not) something extremely simple that is causing my XP boxes to not see my linux(FC4) Samba server in the 'My Network Places'. I can access the shares by 'Map Network Drive' and using the IP address(192.168.0.1). I have set the workgroup name 'DAMEN' in the lmhosts file. 192.168.0.1 DAMEN I have set the workgroup in the smb.conf file.

Hi, After trying too long I fixed the problem below by reverting to the old 3c905 NIC. Problem solved but not understood. I had a similar 3c2000 NIC in another Samba server and it also failed to copy a large amount (5000+) of files. So that's two completely servers (hardware and Samba / Slackware version) having the same problem with any number of different clients. I couldn't imagine

Hi I need some logic to work out a value for me - this value is _always_ the 3rd last field in a string seperated by '.' but the string could be 5 or 6 fields long, e.g foo.bar.VALUE.baz.lala foor.bar.gigi.VALUE.baz.lala I need to find VALUE - if this were python or something i could do it but this has to be in shell - Any clues? thanks

Running 3.0.4 on FreeBSD 5.2.1. Today there is a regular text file that appears to be locked. It is an ini file for an application. The file can be opened with notepad but if you try to save it an error message pops up... "The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file." smbstatus does not show this file as being open and it is mode 777.

Hi, I've got a Word document on a Samba share that I can't rename, overwrite or open. Attempting to rename it gives: Cannot rename Filename: There has been a sharing violation. Attempting to open it gives: Filename.doc is locked for editing by 'another user'. This is on a NAS box so I can't say which Samba version it is. There are no temporary files in the share to show who

I have a very small problem. Thanks for any suggestions. Say user1 logs onto a Windows XP workstation and opens file1. Then, if user2 attempts to open the file from another workstation the following message is displayed: "file1 is locked for editing by ''" Problem: *user1* is not displayed between the single quotes.

I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask about this, but one of my users is having a problem with her files,specifically excel files which she is editing with openoffice. I suspect that she is closing down her PC without logging out or something and so appears to be still logged in. She is using Vista and the server is a Debian Lenny box. Whenever she tries to access the files on

Hi guys, How are you keeping ? I use 'smbmount' and a custom script to mount remote shares from Windows desktops and back them up to a Linux server. Everything works great except that I get "Resource deadlock avoided" when trying to copy 'Outlook.pst'. This of course is due to users' having their Outlook open when my backup script runs. Is anyone aware of a way to
