Hello, We've just migrated from Netware to Samba and have only 1 problem that's affecting our users. When a user creates a new document in a directory the owner and group or both set to root. The directories are owned by a specific user and there is also a group associated with the directory. I was expecting that any new documents created would have the same user and owner as the

Hello, Samba-users, please don?t beat me, but I have to ask this question here, as I haven?t found an answer I can rely on until now. I am working on a solution for a backup-problem and one possible solution could be the use of smbfs/smbmount. I am testing that now, mounting a WinXPHome(sorry, testing ...)-share which is 20GB of size (8GB used) to my linux-box. The linux-box is a bit more

Greetings' i have installed a redhat 6.2 on my machine. I have also installed Samba 2.0.6 on it and seems working fine for almost a year. But one of my problem is "Disappearing Mounts".

Hi all, banging my head on the wall here...

Hello all Being new on this list I would like to search the archieves before posting, but unfortunately I cannot find out how to perform such a search.

Hi, I'm using FreeBSD 4.8 and samba 2.2.8 on a Pentium 2 (dual processor, 600 MHz, 512 MB memory) and at this moment everything is working, but I've one serious problem: I've made an filesystem /data with some shares like /public, /temp, /projects etc. I'm now copying a 170 MB file from my local harddisk to a samba share. Normally this should take less then 30 seconds, at

I'm trying to get a recursive file listing with smbclient: smbclient //host/share -Uusername%password -c "ls -alFR" But I get an error: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE listing \-alFR Evidently, smbclient thinks I'm asking for a file mask. Is there a way to get a recursive file listing on a samba share so I can pipe it to wc -l for a file count? Ideally, I'd like to: (This won't

I am looking for an LDAP client to manage the LDAP server that we are going to use when we switch to samba3. A Windows variety would be OK, a web interface would be even better. Just looking for suggestions to try. Thanks, Brandon

Our shared file server decided to take a hiatus from WINS earlier this week. On friday we could see the machine name in the browse function of any windows box when you went to the map network drives portion of windows explorer. Now the only way I can map a network drive is to enter the server's IP like this: \\ 192.168.xxx.xxx\sharename But this also presents a problem because this server

The system has latest redhat and samba stable versions compiled from source and all works except when coping files from windows (2000/XP) to samba server. When copying it is very slow, extremely slow and locks up the copy most of the time. I checked DNS and Network and all is working fine. Samba is configured in share mode as we just share a few directories. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I run a script to mount several file shares from machines running W98 and W2000 so that I can do incremental dumps every night of these file shares. smbmount almost always fails to exit. This causes the script to stall and so the dumps are not done. In the am, if I kill the smbmount processes, the dumps complete successfully, since the mounts were in fact correctly completed. (I know that

Hi all, I'm new on this List, I'm having troubles with samba at share from Linux <Gentoo Ker 2.4.20> to Win2k (Samba version 2.2.8a). For now I can start the daemons normally, but when I try to access from win2k or the same Linux with smbclient this return errors, I already have to configured the smb.conf file, I can connect without problems to the sharing point's on the NT

Hi all! I need a setup that will log exactly when a user has logged in or out of samba. Preferably I would like to have a separate list per user, but this can also be achieved with grep. I found some solutions that rely on login script processing which is nice if your clients are running Win95/Win98 but for anything else it won't work. Anybody know of a solution? Thanks!!

i'm having problems with preexec scripts... see example below [homes] preexec = mkdir /samba/users/%U do exec scripts only work in a Samba PDC setup or are we able to use exec scripts in any setup ? if you look at the preexec script above, all i'm trying to do is make a dir for the connecting user (i don't need to make an account as the samba server is seup as a domain member server

For some reason all of my Linux servers all of a sudden can't look up net bios names. Everything has been working great for months. If I do an smbclient -L ipaddress on any of them they all can see the master browser and show its name in the output. But if I try and do an smbclient -L systemname it immediately dumps out to the internet and tries to resolve the name using DNS. This of course

Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...
