similar to: WAS: XP home -> Samba NOW: Must be other networking issues...

I'm about ready to pull my teeth out over this. I just installed Red Hat 8.0, have not used Linux much in the past, which is why I went with Red Hat, sposeto be easier, more support etc. The network the Linux box resides in has 2 WinXP-home computers, and a Win200 Pro computer. They are all sharing all files, no passwords, no domain, just a workgroup called "ESR". I just want the

Ok, believe it or not, I've looked through all 209 pages of the Samba-HOWTO_Collection.pdf plus used this mail list and other internet sources, used those recommendations, tried almost every possible iteration on the samba.conf file, looked at logs until nauseated and have concluded that there is no way that Windows ME can connect to a Linux box using Samba. Connecting to the WinME box from

Another thing that is rude is for list members to set a vacation auto-reply to a mailing list... -- Jerry Sloan <jerry@fptech.net> fP Technologies, Inc

Okay, I'm really starting to run out of ideas here. Any help would really be handy. I'm looking after a small network, clients are running win2000 SP3 and a Linux Server running samba, doing domain logins. Everything is working fine apart from two machines (from ten). Probably once a week one of them will fail to login in after a reboot or log off. If any user tries to login into the

Is there a way for the tools to provide a configured cdrom as cdrom to the temporary guest? Right now both disk and cdrom retrived from libvirt will showup as disks in the temporary guest. This happens for bus ide and scsi. It seems on my test system the guest can not start from a scsi disk, but the scsi cdrom appears as scsi cdrom in the guest. So I think its maybe just a matter of generating

Hello, Am new to this list so pardon if this question has been asked before. I am trying to find a way to access MS "net shares" and be able to execute "net use" without installing MS. I am looking at a floppy-based linux+samba solution. Most of the floppy linux contain apps I don't need or are centered more towards a router. So I now plan to create my own bootable

Hello everyone. I wanted to get some feedback and opinions from people regarding the use of Roaming profiles. originally, I was planning on using roaming profiles. However, I am starting to wonder if this is such a good idea. The reason is that, if I implement roaming profiles, there is a good chance that there will be network congestion as well as a lot of stress on the server. (50 users so

Hi all, I seem to remember that some time ago (after some nasty VBScript virus or other) that there were postings to the list about how a registry change could be rolled out to all the client workstations with Samba. Of course, now I'd like to try it, I can't find the details any more. Can anyone tell me how its done? I thought there was functionality in rpcclient, but can't find

Is their a source rpm for the 3.0beta1 rpm? I would like to recompile it for ACL support, but I cannot seem to find one. Any links? Brent Norris Assistant DTC, Edmonson County Schools Cell: 270.246.0152

If I right-click on an executable program (like a DOS batch file) that resides on a samba share and set properties like "full screen", that property is remembered on the machine with which I made the change. However, if I go to another machine and run that file, it uses the default properties. Doing a right-click from the other machine and viewing the properties also shows all the

We're in the midst of setting up a Samba 3 system as our PDC. I come from a Samba 2 world, where the passdb backend was smbpasswd. What's the ... er, 'best' passdb backend at this point? To qualify best, there's no limitations on the type of storage used (LDAP, MySQL, XML, etc). I'm just looking for something that's going to make integration with a 2000/XP domain

I am trying to change some ACLs on some files and directories. I have samba binaries with acl support compiled in. I am using an XFS filesystem. The Mandrake kernel supports acls by default. When I right click on the file in Windows explorer and change the permissions, I get an access denied error. If I use smbcacls, I get the following: [root@luna tmp]# smbcacls //luna/tmp test.txt -U jim -A

I have been getting spam through the samba list. Is anyone able to post to the list without subscribing? -- Jerry Sloan <jerry@fptech.net> fP Technologies, Inc

I am currently researching the possibility of slowly moving an existing Novell network [with all Windows clients except mine :)] to something Linux based. I have about 900 clients that would be slowly migrated if this whole thing is feasible. The version of NetWare we are using now is no longer "officially supported" from Novell, so it is becoming more and more difficult to successfully

I'm trying to use Access 2002 on a Samba server.....question, are there special Samba parameters that need to be set so that 3-5 users can enter data? All users have proper access (no pun intended) to the SAMBA server..... thanks jr

I am trying to get the AllowFTP action to work for Net > DMZ traffic and FTP pasv. I know it is kind of working, as the user can log in, however, it fails at the port. I have had to open up some high ports for pasv to work. Now I know this aint cool, so does anyone know what a person has to do to get the AllowFTP action to work the same way it does if I was just ftp to the firewall, which does

Hi, I am considering using the dfs options in samba. The question I have is about file replication. I want to set up dfs between two servers (one dfs share points to two real shares). In particular, I want have a share on one and a replica on the other as a fallback in the even of the first failing. I have done it on windows 2K server before. I am considering using rsync to replicate the files

I'm trying to use Samba and FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE to replace the Win2000 Server at work.
