I have two Samba servers configure similarly. One shares fine across our entire network and the other only works within its own segment. I have poured over the smb.conf files and cannot see what it preventing the one from crossing segments. These both are Debian 2.2 boxes and I am just modifying the default smb.conf files.

Hello, I've been trying to get my Windows NT computer to access directories and printing from a Debian 3.0 host running Samba 2.2.3.

Apologies if this is a FAQ. We are saddled with some directories full of production image files that number in the hundreds of thousands to the millions. (Yes, I know this is bad.)

A strace on the smbd process receiving the files

Hey there Listmembers Im writing this because i havnt been able to solve my problem. Im trying to set up a samba server as PDC and im using samba 2.2.3a from debian "woody". ive attached my smb.conf file.

account to join the Win2K PCs to the domain. You have to use the root account. Therefore making the account "root" invalid is not a good thing (or I would assume). Just create a root account in the smbpasswd file and make the password different from your unix account (if security is your concern). Does this make sense? Regards, Alan B.

Hey there, I am, for the first time, playing around with Samba seriously (mainly thinking about replacing NFS with it). I'm using a Linux 2.6.x client with the cifs.ko kernel module/filesystem type. I've found that I can't change the permissions on files to arbitrary values; they must not be greater than the bits specified in 'create mask' (and friends). The problem appears
