Hi, we have installed the newest release of samba from HP for HPUX. It's based on samba 2.2.3a (B8725-1.0.8 HP number) We used the same config file and started the samba stuff and run into the following problems. 1) The machine was only reachable under one netbios alias. 2) Only some pc could connect (~15 out of 150), but those could also only see the toplevel of a share 3) The following

I have successfully implemented Samba in the past but I am now perplexed by a new installation which fails smbstatus with the message: "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/brlock.tdb: No such file or directory Failed to open byte range locking database "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/locking.tdb: No such file or directory ERROR:

Hi all, i am trying to run Samba 2.2.3a under a RedHat 7.2 i386 machine. After i compiled and installed the packages, i made a smb.conf up. Just some standard stuff nothing special.

When I start winbindd (Samba v2.2.3a on Linux), I get the entries in log.winbindd shown below. What's the story on all those complaints about file "unexpected.tdb"? There is no general problem with Samba writing to that subdirectory: # ll /var/lock/samba/ total 288 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 696 Feb 12 22:01 brlock.tdb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 231 Feb 13

Hi all, I am running RedHat 7.3 and Samba 2.2.3a. I am using DHCP for my Linux box (hostname: NGPLinux, IP 132.189.26.62). I can see the list of shares I defined by using "smbclient -L NGPLinux -N". I can resolve the name using "nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 NGPLinux". However, when I tried to use "nmblookup -B 132.189.26.255 NGPLinux" on the local machine, I got the

Gurus, I have downloaded and compiled 3.0.2a. I can map from 2000 to my share fine. If I try a smbstatus I get errors, see below. Can someone please point me in the right direction? smbstatus -s /usr/local/etc/meltwk-tst02.conf -d 10 edited to keep it short but this error about not having this charset repeats about 10 times. Locale charset 'ISO8859-15' unsupported, using ASCII

Everytime I install Samba on Debian 2.4.27, And I check smbstatus I get this: tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/brlock.tdb: No such file or directory Failed to open byte range locking database tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/locking.tdb: No such file or directory ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database Can't initialise locking

i've been integrating a Samba server into a mixed windows 2000/2003 authentication environment for use as a NAS device. i finally have things working for the most part, but in the process of debugging authentication i noticed an error when performing the following command: hmason@mpinas1:~$ smbclient -L localhost the error shows up when loglevel = 5 in smb.conf: Netbios name list:-

Well I seem to have everything working now, I started up the daemons and the ran smbclient -L localhost and then smbstatus and everything looks good!Strange..

Experts, We've just migrated from samba 2.2.8a to samba 3.0.20b in a very large corporate environment. Everything was really fine in our lab, but we began experiment serious load problems on the productive servers the morning after the procedure took place. I'll try (briefly) to describe the characteristics of the scenario: Resources: Old Environment: Hardware:

The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action, was called for PID 2974 (/usr/sbin/smbd). This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault. Below is a backtrace for this process generated with gdb, which shows the state of the program at the time the error occurred. The Samba log files may contain additional information about the problem. If the

Hi I couldn''t figure out, how to create a drop-down list with Markaby. How would I create something like this: <select name="character"> <option value="marvin">Marvin the paranoid Android</option> <option value="arthur">Arthur Dent</option> <option value="zaphod">Zaphod

Hi, This morning our CTDB managed cluster took a nosedive. We had member machines with hung smbd tasks which causes them to reboot, and the cluster did not come back up consistently. We eventually got it more or less stable with two nodes out of the 3, but we're still seeing worrying messages, eg we've just noticed: 2017/04/19 12:10:31.168891 [ 5417]: Vacuuming child process timed

Hi! I've been fighting with Samba for over a week now and I can't seem to work it out. It all started when I installed the standard samba (2.2.1a-4) which came with RH7.2. I ran "smbstatus" and got the following error: Failed to open byte range locking database ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database Can't initialise locking module - exiting. I've tried the
