Hi I've no idea if anyone can help with this, or if it's even a good idea, but I'll give it a go.......... I've been charged with providing a level of fail-over with a Samba implementation, and without going down the shared storage/cluster approach it was suggested that we consider using the File Replication Service in Win2k to mirror a complete share tree from the primary SMB

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

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with using the Dfs functionality within Samba. I've been searching for any performance information and or documentation regarding Dfs in particular load balancing i.e. 1) How does it load balance? Is it some sort of round robin? 2) Is there a limit to the number of servers that can used in the load balance? 3) How many requests per

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

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

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'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 realize this is not a Samba specified quesiton... but I thought someone here might have some experience with this. After migrating from an purely S4 AD domain to a purely Windows 2008R2 AD domain one is left with no functioning SYSVOL replication (FRS or DFS). This makes sense as S4 is not aware of SYSVOL replication. So the question is how to bootstrap SYSVOL replication on a set of

I realize that Samba 4 doesn't yet support DFS replication. But my question is if Samba 4 as an AD server supports DFS replication within the environment. For example, if all we have are Samba 4 servers for AD domain controllers, and we have 2+ Windows servers doing DFS between each other (where the Samba 4 file server isn't involved at all), is that supported?

When does File Replication using NTFRS or DFS-R will be availabe? Does anybody already work on this item? Here would be some first documentation for this team in case it hasn't started yet: - NTFRS: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc759297(v=ws.10).aspx - SYSVOL replication: http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/dd640019(v=ws.10).aspx - NTFRS migration to DFS-R:

Hello, I read that replication with DFS-R requires NTFS filesystem on both sides, because it accesses the "change journal". (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773238%28v=ws.10%29.aspx) Can I use DFS-R between samba4 and windows if I use ntfs-3g? If not is it planned to support DFS-R in a future version of samba? thanks, Klaus -- Klaus Hartnegg, Universität Freiburg,

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

Any plane in future to build-in Samba SysVol replication (DFS-R) ? For now we have this workaround at link: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Rsync_based_SysVol_replication_workaround

Hi, i'm Emiliano this is my first mail to samba mailing list. I have to solve this issue for a company. They need to had a folder, shared over CIFS for windows/mac clients, that is always available, also if the server who host it hang up or burn. I've looked for a lot of solution but i cannot find the right for me. Actually the company has two server, all running debian lenny as linux

I have added a machine account to /etc/passwd named luna$ and in smbpasswd named luna. When I attempt to join my Win2K box to the domain, I get this error. The following error occured attempting to join the domain: The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server. I am using openldap if that makes any difference. Jim

I have been looking into DFS (no R) with Samba and found the page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS) and do have some questions: ?There is currently (July 2014) a discussion in the mailing list in which several users report great difficulties with domain-based DFS in samba 4, maybe related with the implementation of smb protocol version 3.? ? is this still true or has
