I am running RedHat8, samba 2.2.7 The mailing list archives seem to pin the 2gb problem on several unrelated issues (all of which i explored). The machines in question have no problems creating 2+gb files locally and via NFS. Is this an issue with smbfs? smbmount? anyone have a workaround? -- 'As we enjoy great Advantages from the Inventions of others we should be glad of an Opportunity

I am trying to move our network from windows NT-2k to Samba /Linux. So far everything is great but there is one main obstacle; when I apply permissions to a Samba share via my W2K workstation, the permissions instantly disappear. This happens regardless of the owner / creator of file or the user / group permission I attempt to add. I have run 2.2.7, 2.2.8, and now 3.0 beta3. All three behave

I had originally written about this problem last month (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-November/085418.html) Since then, our company has added another Windows Fileserver which I'm trying to back up, and they are both having the problem. Because it happens on both servers, this leads me to believe it really is a problem with my Samba server. I've upgraded to 2.2.7a, as the

I am running redhat 7.3 with Samba 2.2.4. I was wondering if there was a way to use Samba to resolve my IPs instead of having to add all the entries to my /etc/hosts file? For instance, I would like to be able to do `ping acormany` instead of `ping <IP Address>`. We are currently using WINS on a Windows box to resolve the IPs. As of right now, I can `ping acormany` on a Windows system, but

When i print, it spools first indicated in the windows printer window. It takes a minute before it actually sends to the linux box, you will see an indicator of spooled bytes. Once it is submitted it prints

Dear Samba List, My Windows XP machine is unable to reconnect my Linux samba network drive when I login. I installed: Win2000_PlainPassword.reg which allows me to connect manually, but it is a requirement that this be automatic on each login. Has anyone found a way to achieve this? Thanks, Dick

Hi, I'm the developer of KSambaPlugin. Is there a way to find out if samba was compiled with SSL / LDAP support or not ? I want to disable the options in the case that samba doesn't support them. Thanks, Jan Sch?fer

Hi! I'm on a conquest to get Samba 3.0 to authenticate against an Active Directory. For this, I need to have Kerberos working. However, I don't know the name of our Kerberos server. If I've got a Windows machine which is part of the Active Directory, can I somehow get it to tell me the name of the Kerberos server? Or could I use a packet sniffer to get the name of the server?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone else has thought that it might be good to be able to run multiple instances of samba on a single machine ? I currently accomplish this task with VMware and multiple vm's. But it seems to me that it may be simpler if samba were able to run multiple instenses, with unique configs and smbpasswds, binding to unique aliased ethernet devices! Such that on a single

Hi there, i have Samba 2.2.7a running on FreeBSD-STABLE 4.7. I set up a few things and smbd and nmbd start up at boot, i can browse the net.

HI! I am trying to configure the samba 2.2.7 binary from sunfreeware ( package for Solaris 7). Is there any way to override the default install location of /usr/local/samba for the lock files? I do not have access to /usr/local as it is NFS mounted and shared by all Solaris 7 boxes. I can pkgadd to a different root path, and I can -s the config file to the install location, but I cannot

When I connect to a share on an NTFS drive on a Windows 2000 server using smbclient and obtain a directory listing using the 'ls' command, the file size of large files is shown as 259190784.
