Hi, I need to log print job's. But Windows 2000 send me only 'Remote Downlevel Document' as a job name (%J macro in print command). (I don't have other Windows system versions to test it there, but from Linux}smbspool command) it works fine - job name is "Remote Downlevel Document + job name"). Is there any possibility how to force (or get) print job name from Windows

Hi. Samba 2.2.8. I have installed the drivers on the print$ share. The smb.conf looks like this: [printers] print ok = yes guest ok = yes printcap name = /etc/printcap print command = /usr/bin/lpr -P%p -r %s lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j lppause command = /usr/sbin/lpc hold %p %j

Hi All, I'm writing a website on which users can change their Samba-password. I therefore use the smbpasswd-utility which I execute through the PHP function system (or exec, it doesn't really matter). I have to use the -s switch for smbpasswd to enable it to read input from STDIN, which I redirect to read the information from a file. I execute: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r

Hi, I've got a printing server running Samba 3.0alpha21 (on Linux). The client machines running Windows 2000 are producing PDF files by printing to a "virtual" printer on the Samba machine. The printer driver shall be installed from the Samba server on demand. I need color output, b/w is not sufficient. Everything works fine, i.e. the PDF conversion process and the automatic driver

I'm running a new (6 months old) fast server, with an ultra-scsi RAID array . . . some of my workstations, however, are getting elderly: some are 5 year old 350Mhz machines, and my users are finding it faster to put their .pst files on their Samba-shared Linux home directories. (50 users, .pst files from 100mb to 1.5Gb). (yes, yes, I know, 1.5GB is WAY too big for a .pst file; its a constant

You should give us a look at your smb.conf. AFAIK from my very own experience: 3.0.21c somehow behaves different from 3.0.20 with the same smb.conf. Maybe you have to set some values which did not have to be set before.

Occasional problems arise where the .pst file just will not copy from the users profile on the server. Doesn't seem to be related to the file size. Has anyone had issues with outlook and Samba PDC - (win2k clients). Solutions that have worked have ranged from complete loss of the .pst file to restarting users profile from scratch. thanks Alex Genna

Hi - I'm backing up a Windows client which has a number of Outlook mail archives (pst files) and annoyingly whenever you open Outlook it updates the modification dates of all pst files - even if you don't change any of the emails contained in the archive. What's the best way of backing up these files without having them fill up my backup disk with mostly identical copies of

... By my mistake a 2.2.8a-1 running on RH8 was exposed to the Internet. It was cracked in a matter of hours. I noticed it because they've deleted my smbd. :-| I'm ready to reinstall the machine, if there are any logs that anybody is interested into please say it now.

Hi All, I have a 1.8GB PST file that is backed up every night from a cygwin install) and every night rsync transfers about 1.8GB of data for that file. It changes a bit, but for all intents and purposes the entire file is transferred. There are other files on this system that rsync more typically, so I'm fairly certain this isn't a switch or command error on the calling end. I have also

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...

Hi everyone, I've been using nut 2.0.3 for more than a year on a Unitek iZi UPS 525 (which is a rebadged Mustek). Everything worked fine and last week, when pressed by RENEL :-) I ran a battery test which showed the system to have 17min of back-up power (yes, still haven't figured out how to use upssched...) The system used for testing was an old PIII/500MHz/512KB cache, 256MB RAM (3 x

Chapter 5 of Samba 3 By Example ( http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html ) states thusly: ----- Configuration of MS Outlook to Relocate PST File Microsoft Outlook can store a Personal Storage file, generally known as a PST file. It is the nature of email storage that this file grows, at times quite rapidly. So that users' email is available to them at every workstation

Samba 2.2.8a-1, RH8. ... So, I had to reinstall. Fortunately I had a back-up copy. I've installed everything and then went to back-up and brought back all the stuff from /etc/samba and /var/cache/samba and all /etc/cups and /etc/printcap*. Aparently samba is working corectly: All user/machine accounts are in place winbind OK... It's just that although I've restored the /home/printers

Hi Arjen, I've just read the FAQ and got to the question: "Q: How can I make upsmon shut down my system after some fixed interval?" Well it looked like the question was there for me. :-) You say: Ask yourself this: why buy a nice big UPS with the matching battery and corresponding runtime and then shutdown early? If anything, I'd rather have a few more minutes running on

Hello Everyone, I have a slight issue with configuring a PDF printer on my Samba servers. I have input the following into my smb.conf file and it does create the printer as well as work to create PDF files, except that it only functions when "printing" to that printer via Excel 2002. If I attempt it with anything else, even the Windows Test print, it fails. Now, in the Windows

This is the EXACT problem I had. Haven't fixed it either.... if I have 10 printers.... upload all the drivers.. for all the OS's... how do I tell which drivers go with which printer? -----Original Message----- From: Andreas [mailto:andreas@conectiva.com.br] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 9:24 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] 2.2.8a, printer driver download: need to use

Hi All, I run a little hosting company. I use Dovecot 1.0.10* with IMAP exclusively. Lots of my customers use Outlook or Outlook Express. This poses a problem. These programs don't and have absolutely no workarounds to move messages to a trash folder when deleted. They only mark the message for deletion. Then, users have to purge the message to actually delete it. Outlook has a way
