[Redirected to the general samba list] One of the things which Samba provides is a facility to run a "preexec" script before allowing a user to connect to a directory, and refuse to make the conenction if the script returns a non-zero result. This can prevent someone from logging on twice, limit them to specific hours, from conencting to the wrong directory and so on. In

We have a Samba 3.01 pre3 server that acts as a print server among other things. When our users go to the add printer wizard in Windows, it doesn't show our samba server! The only way to add a printer is by manually entering the path. That's really inconvenient if you don't know the path. :) Is there some way we can resolve this? Thanks, Tait Shrum Bryant Schools

Hi, I have problem with client password chat with Samba (3.0.24) PDC on Suse after updating OS to service pack 1.

Salim, Yes I do have permission to run the passwd command as a local user, I can change the unix password just fine. It is when I do the smbpasswd command that that error comes up.

Hello, I have setup a Samba server with CentOS 5.2 and Samba 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 (the CentOS included versi?n).
