I'd like to be able to restrict access to some of our services, and can certainly do so with the "hosts allow = " entry in smb.conf - it does exactly what I want. But... I plan on bringing Samba up on a few campus hosts, some of which have more extensive listings of PCs I

Hello there, I have a samba PDC 3.0.0 running ok, but I had turned on the option "Time Server" in smb.conf, to synchronize the workstations time with server.

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic.

Recently I shutdown my RS6000 running AIX 4.3.3 and Samba 2.0.7 and rebooted. Since rebooting, the performance of the Samba server has dramatically decreased. Nothing has changed on the AIX box. I recently added a Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 to the network. I thought that may be the culprit. I shutdown that server for a few days and the problem still exists. Any help would be much

It almos seems like this expiration thing should not be happening at all...?
