I have tried this with a bunch of different versions of Samba, starting somewhere in the 3.0.1 series. I am currently running 3.0.34 on several Gentoo servers, all showing the same problem. I am almost positive it is not a Samba issue, but I was just hoping that someone may have experienced it and knows if there is a solution. When I have the current Novell Netware client installed on XP

I currently have a 95% Novell Network network that continues to have constant printing issues. Enough Novell bashing, here lies the problem. I am trying to migrate all of our printers over to a samba print server, but in several of my tests I have come up with problems. I will attach my smb.conf at the end for those of you that wish to see it. I am using lprng as the printing backend because all

Okay, I've been chasing performance for a while now. I have no idea if I should be trying to get better performance or if I'm getting all I can out of my hardware.

Hi, I need to create a large number of users in the smbpasswd file.Is there a way to do this without having to type passwords? I need a batch mode. Using Samba 3. Thanks, Craig

I've rolled 2 virtual servers running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and have installed the SerNet packages. SRV1 has the AD setup and SRV2 is a member server. I've followed the wiki for both servers to the letter, and winbind still refuses to grab info on the member server. I rolled the provision with --use-rfc2307, added a bunch of users with samba-tool. I then manually created a group and made sure

I was thinking of putting a slightly bigger HD on my Linux server and would like to know the easiest way. I know that ghost works well on FAT32 partitions, but does it work on Ext3 partitions too? Id rather not reinstall if I don't have to, so any and all suggestions are appreciated. TIA Kev

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

to only show shares that the user has access too, but I don't believe it is possible. To remedy this, I tried to create a share called "share". Then create subdirectories under that using UNIX groups. I am using a group sticky bit in conjunction with create mask = 770 to keep the perms straight. Here is the share: [share] nt acl support = no path =

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

I'm using Samba 4.2.0 and cups 2.0.2. I have had the same print server and config since the early 3.x days and have never had an issue. Now suddenly, any new printers added to cups can no longer be installed in Windows. XP clients give a generic "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name was typed incorrectly, or the specified priner has lost its connection to the

I'm using a Samba4 ADDC and just noticed that the SSL that was created at install time is about to expire. Is there something Samba specific to create a new certificate, or should I manually create a new one using openssl? Thanks!

I am using Samba 3.5.0 on Arch Linux. I have security = user and am looking to create a new server with a lot of different shares as well as the [homes] share. So far my testing is making me pull my hair out... If I create shares with certain users, everything works fine. However, I see that if I connect to the \\server, the user will see all shares.

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
