Hello everyone, I upgraded my Samba server on my RHL 7.2 box from 2.2.3a to 2.2.7. Almost immediately afterwards, all of my admin users suddenly were unable to access the printers that were being shared by Samba. Any idea of what is wrong and how to fix it? The messages I'm getting are that I do not have enough rights. I am using a Windows 2000 Server PDC and a lot of Windows XP Pro, and

Hi, i had have the same problem with winbindd try this "smbpasswd -j <Dmainname> -r <Windows PDC> -U Administrator%<Password>" Now you should read "Joined Domain <Domain>" Now set the Username and PAssword for winbindd to access the PDC I have used the admin account for this "wbinfo -A Administrator%<Password>" Now try again wbinfo

Hi everyone, I am using Samba 2.2.3a on a Redhat Linux 7.2 Intel server as a printserver on a W2K PDC network. I have a Xerox 440 printer, an HP 4500 PS and an HP 4550 PS printer using my Samba printserver. I am often receiving the following error message: ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: STACK: at which point printing stops and the printers start saying TIMEOUT. Sometimes I can reprint

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.

I am running RHL 7.2 with Samba 2.2.3a using a W2K DC for authentication via winbind. From the linux box, how can I find out which users are currently connected to my box via Samba? This would help a lot when I need to reboot the server or restart the samba service because of changes that need to immediately go into effect. Thanks Kevin Bramblett

Hello everyone, I am having a problem getting Windows XP clients to print to a Xerox DataCenter 440 using Samba as the print server running on Red Hat Linux 7.2. I have installed the driver once and it worked fine. I then tried to add a second XP client, and while it appears to install and work, nothing comes out of the printer. It even seems to disappear at the print server. Any ideas how I

Is there an improved BackupExec Unix agent available that works with Samba? If not, can someone tell me how to work around the lack of the archive bit that Linux has? In particular, RedHat Linux 7.2 is the system I'm looking for help on. I found the following hints in an older version of this newsletter, Samba Digest, Vol. 3, Issue 34, sent March 21, 2003, that had this in it: Yes, we have

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

Can anyone tell me how I can do a multiple level user share? What I'm having trouble configuring is a share that allows all users to use the first directory of the share, and then in subdirectories of the first directory only allow specified users access. I can't find anything similar in any docs on the internet nor in the O'Reilly Using Samba book. Thanks. Kevin

Hello everyone, I am having a problem printing to a Xerox Document Centre 440 ST from XP pro Clients thru my RedHat Linux 7.2 server running Samba 2.2.3a. The XP Clients connect successfully to the printer queue, sends the file, but nothing comes out of the printer. At least for most XP Clients. I have one PC that does print, but that person is also an admin on the Linux box. I know the PCs

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup

but I don't understand what to change and where to change it and how to change it, yet. Any documentation available specifically for rhl 7.2 and samba 2.2.3a would be especially welcome. All help is very welcome! Thanks, Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Urban Widmark" <urban@teststation.com> To: "Kevin Bramblett" <kbramblett@dssresearch.com> Cc:

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

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

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

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

Hi, Can someone tell me if Samba can limit users to certain amounts of space on specified shares? If so, where would I go to find out how to implement it? I have the following setup: RHL 7.2, Samba 2.2.3a using a Windows 2000 PDC with Winbind. I want to be able to set a limit for each user on certain folders/shares on the Linux box that they are accessing from Windows systems. Thanks, Kevin

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 tried to setup samba to print to a win95 box and I was using lpd from RH7.3 After trying everything I found Cups and looked at the docs and it prints great to the win95 Local Printer. Thanks for your help -- Ron Bramblett Sys Admin Fuller Brush Company

I am having difficulties figuring out which group has permissions on directories that I have within a directory. For example, at the command line, I use "ls -l" (without the quotes, of course) to get the following display: drwxrwx--- 3 MIS+psch MIS+Carb 4096 Sep 2 11:10 MyFolder Drwxr-xr-x 3 MIS+dzoo MIS+Carb 4096 May 21 2003 ThatFolder As you can see, MIS+Carb is all I can see, but
