similar to: How to Preserve File - Timestamp

I've been using a Windoze based programming editor (Slickedit) across samba shares for years without any problems (most recently with FC5). I've just started using Ubuntu and I'm now having a problem with timestamps lagging file writes. The net result is my editor almost always thinks another program has modified the file. Today I built and installed samba 3.3.3. from sources and it

Hello Samba Developers, Recently I've caused an endless loop in Samba, which caused the log file to fill up all usable disk space. This is what I've done ( or better, what I think I've done, because the bug is not reproduceable ) : - Mounted my home directory via Windows Explorer under Windoze NT. - Logged into account under same name on same machine ( bash ) - created a soft link

I have Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 8 acting as a PDC. I have written a script that checks to see if a user is already logged in on the PDC and if so, sends the user a message (via the SMB message stuff) telling them they need to log off. I run this script using "preexec close" under the netlogon share. So, the user authenticates against the PDC, but then gets a desktop that is mostly

I plead complete ignorance. I have 2 Win98 boxes and a Win2K box trying to access a Samba 2.08 server running on OpenBSD 2.8. All IP addresses are hard coded with the IP of the Samba box as the Wins server (see the smb.conf) The Win2K box can resolve the name of the Samba machine but cannot map to it. The other boxes can't resolve the name. All are set to the same workgroup. [global]

Dear Samba Support, Currently I'm using redhat 6.2 with kernel version 2.2.14-5.0 and samba server version : samba-2.0.6-9 I have configured our samba server as member of NT domain. Everything works well, ie: I can join to PDC server and also mount our file server into our samba server But everyday in our samba server on file /var/log/messages, I got messages: Aug 30 14:49:49 ultest

Win2K box and the file server are on the same switch. They are both configured as 100FD, AutoNeg=Off. I have not met anyone so far with that much performance difference, though some reported 1:2 speed ratio. Attached is our config file for your information. I've searched through this mail lists' archives. I couldn't find a solution, though I've seen people reporting similar

Apologies in advance if this is in a FAQ somewhere, but I've looked & lurked for a while and not found anything... I'm using Samba 2.0.3 on a RedHat 5.2 box to serve a mixed MS network (Win9x, Windows NT) (but testing with my NT4-SP4 notebook). I have a share where "dos filetimes = True" (also tried with this false) and "dos filetime resolution = False". Let me

Hello, i see a strange behavior with timestamps of files on a samba share (4.2.6 on SLES 12 SP1 and 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 14.04) with "dos filetime resolution = yes": On older samba versions, windows properties dialogue correctly shows only even seconds, but (at least) the two indicated versions show sometimes even and sometimes odd seconds if the file has on the server filesystem a

I'm having some difficulties joining a Win2k workstation to a Samba domain. This particular workstation is my work laptop (DRUMMSW01) which normally operates as a member of a standard Win2k domain called BIZ. At windows startup/logon, BIZ is specified as the domain. At home, my Samba PDC's workgroup/domain is HOME.LAN When I try to browse shares on HOME.LAN with the Win2k laptop, I

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate our Samba PDC server to a new machine on the local net with a completely new domain, but when I try to join this domain on a Win2k machine it gives error 'invalid domain or can't be located' I have no problem on my mac using DAVE. and i can see the new domain in the browse list. Here is my configuration. Any help would be great. Matt # Global

Please post to the mailing list the next time Ralf. I'm not using yp directory listings, but I can guess why it is not working. You're probably missing the libcurl.so library in your chroot jail directories. Here's the listing of files I have in the chroot jail: -----%< cut here > ls -R .: admin etc lib opt usr var web ./admin: listclients.xsl listmounts.xsl

Greetings, all: I'm having trouble working out a printing problem between my Samba box, and my Windows 2000 client. Here's the background: Network: Home network with a Slackware 8 box running Samba, 1 Windows 2000 client, 1 Windows 98 client, and a LEAF Project firewall providing Internet access. The Samba server should only be available to local clients. Systems: Slackware box:

Hi folks, Windows has a default behavior of preserving timestamps when you copy a file. I want to update the 'Date Modified' timestamp to current time when I copy a file from Windows XP to a Samba share, just like a unix file copy would. Is there some way of doing this? Maybe w/ a script? 'dos filetimes' and 'dos filemode' don't seem to do the trick. Here's my

Hello, I'm using Samba 2.0.6 on a newly installed SMP machine with SuSE Linux 6.2. Apparantly this Samba version does not allow any network clients to change the file modification times on remote files, as this is done by several directory synchronization tools (I personally use "filesync" to synchronize between my notebook and the server). On another Linux machine (Samba 2.0.5a on

Hello all! I discover a strange thing. We use and develop DOS financial accounting application, written on Xbase (formerly known as Clipper). This application agressively uses of file sharing and locking (byte-range and all possible for DOS combinations), creates and uses huge amount of index (NTX) and Dbase III (DBF) files on network shared resource. Network clients are Windows 98se,

Hello, i'm new to the the list so excuse me if I ask for an old problem, but i found no solution in the archive. I try to set up a rh 7.3 server with samba 2.4 as PDC for win2000 sp2 clients. I configured the samba to create the machine accounts on the fly. When I try to join the domain the entries in smbpass and passwd are created fine. After a minute I get the message that I joined the

First, I want to thank Mark Clement and Steve Litt for their comments. But as the subject indicates, i'm still not having any luck printing. Mark, I can't even get output to a test file. Below is a printout of testparm. One thing that *is* odd, is the reference to a "printers.def" file in /etc. There wasn't any such file there. The contents are a duplicate of the

Hi, Is there some way of doing this? When I copy a file from Windows XP onto a Samba share, I want it to reflect the current time, instead of preserving the windows "Date Modified" time. This works by default in Unix. Windows preserves the timestamp by default. 'dos filetimes' and 'dos filemode' in smb.conf don't seem to do the trick. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
