I've had this problem since FreeBSD 4.3. This problem continues with my FreeBSD 4.4 machine. I can't connect from my Win98se and Win2kPro machines to my FreeBSD 4.4 Samba server. I've tried it all... but still no luck. I've run smbd and nmbd manually with the "-D" parameter. I can connect internally from my FreeBSD 4.4 box using "./smbclient

I'm having a problem with my XP & 2000 pc's, with printers. During the initial installation and configuration of these machines, everything is fine. But any printer added to the network AFTER the initial config of the winXP & win2000 pc's, isn't available to these machines. So... if I add any printers to my network, I can't use them with my winXP or win2000

Hi All, I've currently got a samba server setup as a secondary WINS server (on the client side) and have the following in the smb.conf file: [global] wins support = yes dns proxy = yes name resolve order = wins dns hosts lmhosts and have a number of entries in my /etc/hosts file: 10.1.0.151 server1 10.1.0.150 server2 10.1.0.1 server3 and these resolve

Hi, I've recently upgraded a few of the win98 machines here to win2kpro, and now, after logging in, the password has to be entered again for the shares. I've searched around but can't find a solution to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is on Samba 2.0.7 on FreeBSD, and here is smb.conf: [global] guest account = nobody security = user workgroup

Hi, I created a PDFPrinter as per http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=105301236523413&w=2 I have another question, do I need to add a Color Laser Printer Driver in W2K to the PDF share to generate color PDF in Windows? Regards, Norman

I have a Deskjet 690C connected to my machine running RH7.1 + linux 2.4.13 + samba 2.2.2 installed from RPM. I have setup the printer with RH's printconf-gui as a local printer. In local use it works fine. I have the following in my /etc/samba/smb.conf: --<snip>-- [global] security = share printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes --</snip>-- and

According to documentation for a switch which I'm getting SSH enabled, I need to convert my openssh public key to an ascii string to be compatible with the switch. The switch uses sshV1. Is there a way to do this? I've found nothing in the man pages or FAQ and have tried the -x -X (-i -e) arguments without success but I think they relate to a different translation anyway. Regards Al

Hi All, Just a quick one. Some turkey has bought a kyocera 680 and we have to set it up for samba print sharing. We have about 35 other HP, Lexmark, and other things working a treat on this server so I know it's all working. When I try to upload the driver for the kyocera it uploads fine from my windoze box and everything looks sweet, I apply and I get the extra tabs as expected for

Ok I've fed this problem with about five hours of my time to post to a list about it. nmbd does not appear to be doing what it should. Why I'm not certain. The unix host (running samba) is not appearing in on the windows browse list (i.e. it's not showing up in the network neighbourhood). when I run nmbd with -d2 I get the following: Netbios nameserver version 2.2.8 started.

Samba and Win2k just don't seem to want to work together. I get disconnects after about 13MB of data transfer, and the Win2k box just loses the share as if it were disconnected. Re-establishing the share works, but data transfer of large files or working with large amounts of data is impossible. From the amount of traffic on this newsgroup regarding WinXP and Win2K problems with Samba, I

Is anybody suffering from a similar problem or can anybody suggest a cure or a pointer......? I've various hardware platforms (both HP & Intel though all SMP) scattered around remote sites each running one of the following OSs (Redhat 7.2, Redhat 7.3, Mandrake 8.2 & Mandrake 9.0) each with Samba installed (either the version that ships with the relative OS or 2.2.5.2 or 2.2.8.2

All, Just received our first win2k/sp1 machine here. We currently have two solaris 2.6 samba installations running. One is on our print server and is version 1.19.something. The other is on our file server and is version 2.0.0. The win2k machine seems quite happy to print from the 1.19 version and there seem to be problems there. However, when I try to connect to the file server machine I get

Hi All, I've got a very nicely working samba server with cups as the backend. i also have a colour printer on which I must do billing every month. i've done a test page or two and the username comes though to the colour printer which is good. problem i had is the jobname in the logs is smbprn_xxxxxxxx_xx (numbers) which is the samba job name. if joe bloggs complains and says he

Hi All, I've got a samba/cups pdf writer going thanks to PeteFwee and Wolfram Q and a few others... the cups pdf backed i used has a default of username-date.pdf which I didn't like and wanted the name of the job that got send in the printer q on the winslows client. The only way I could see in my very limited experience was to grab the %%Title out of the postscript file and make sure

I have set up a VPN over PPTP on a CentOS server using the DKMS module rpm dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4 from http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/repodata/repovie w/dkms-0-2.0.6-3.el4.kb.html and kernel_ppp_mppe-0.0.5-2dkms.noarch.rpm at http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-fedora- core-3.phtml.

I created a new virtual Linux server running the Red Hat v7.2 distribution. After getting a MySQL/PHP application running, the next step was to add a Win2kPro Workstation to a new Linux PDC. Towards that end I modified the smb.conf file as described below to turn the virtual Linux server into a stand alone PDC. A 'MACHINE.SID' was created in the /usr/local/samba/private directory.

I've been doing some testing between Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) and Windows 2000 Server (no SP and SP4) -- specifcally testing file transfers from a Samba 2.2.8a server. Samba server: P4/2.2GHz, ServerWorks chipset, SCSI UW2 disk subsystem (Bonnie++ tested to 35MB/sec), 3Com (acenic) gigabit ethernet Win2kPro: P3/700, 3Com Vortex 100mbit network card Win2kServer: P3/800, 3Com Vortex 100mbit

Hi! I'm trying to setup samba 2.2.4 on MandrakeLinux 8.2. The server should act as a file storage for about 25 Windows 2000 clients. Setting up a "basic" server which just serves the files is easy. However, I'd also like to support NT ACLs on the Samba server. Well, what do I have to do, to get it to work? I'm using the Mandrake RPM for 2.2.4, which has ACL support

Hi all, I've got a nice working pdf samba printer emailing the right person thanks to PeteFwee and David F and am doing a little testing. I've just realized that it's set to Letter when it creates the .pdf file. and i've googled till i'm blue in the face and can't see any options that says page size or something similar. i'm running ghostscript 7.04. does anybody
