Im using Samba 2.2.7a on my RH7.3 box. The 3 users I have had on the system work flawlessly, but when I add a new user (userconf, adduser, smbpasswd -a) the system takes the user, it exists in both PSSWD files, but won't allow logging on from the Win9x box. I look in /var/log/messages and it doesn't tell me anything, nor do my etc/samba/log.smbd-nmbd files, is there a particular switch

I have a RH 7.2 PDC which uses DHCP for 2 machines on the network. My Win9x machine as a client/BDC just in case and uses a static IP. If the PDC goes down. I have to put in or take out the PDC's gateway IP and was wondering if there was a way to get ONLY the info I need from DHCP to the Win machine. To attempt to clarify, when the PDC is up, it will assign its gateway IP to the BDC (since it

Has anyone modified smbclient to send winpopup-style message broadcasts to Win95 workgroups/WinNT domains? If not, any tips on how I could go about doing it? What section of the SMB RFCs (1001, 1002, 1003) would be likely to talk about it? (I'm not sufficiently versed in low-level SMB, so most of the RFCs are still Greek to me. So if someone kindly points me in the right direction I think

Hi! I updated my Samba from 2.0.7 to 2.2.2. Now the command "smbclient -M <username>" doesn't work anymore. Even <username>#3 doesn't work (where nmblookup finds the correct IP). I know that you have to give a hostname, but I will send messages to users whereever they're logged on. Any hints? Thanx! Jan

I recent upgraded to 2.2.8, which went fine. When I checked smbclient -L firewall, I saw I Lost my printer share. I am using CUPS v1.1.3 for printing. When I went back to 2.2.7a it reappeared. 2 questions: 1> Why did it do this? I ./configured it --enable-cups- --with-pam_(smb) 2> Is there and advantage of upgrading such a small step? Or are there a big enough issues to warrant this

Listers, I encountered a problem with samba (2.2.7a) when I was setting CUPS (1.1.14) up. I set it up through the web interface, setting the appropriate values in smb.conf: [global] <snip> printing = cups load printers = yes printcap name = cups [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no public = yes

Did I just read completely past this or is this an undocumented feature? Either way, thanks. BTW for my first attempt at a Linux firewall, this proved to be a challenge, but worth it. And most of the problems I''ve had are I/O (idiot operator) errors. Keep up the good work. Kev --- Message: 10 Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 06:20:00 -0800 From: Tom Eastep <teastep@shorewall.net> Subject:

Sometimes an install errors out looking for a file called libc.so.6. I did a locate and the file IS there, it just doesn't see it. I don't want to have to download a 16 meg RPM just for one small file. Does anyone know where JUST this file (most likely updated) can be found by itself? Kev

I just downloaded and installed the above tar ball, all went fine, all runs, hits no errors (./configure, make, make install bin, make install_man). When it finished, it typed, service smb stop, service smb restart, then smbclient -L firewall, which still reported 2.2.7a. So I tried it another way, /etc/rc.d/init.d/smbd stop/start...Smbclient -L firewall yielded the same version number, ditto

I was thinking of putting a slightly bigger HD on my Linux server and would like to know the easiest way. I know that ghost works well on FAT32 partitions, but does it work on Ext3 partitions too? Id rather not reinstall if I don't have to, so any and all suggestions are appreciated. TIA Kev

On my windows machine I use a software fire will called ZoneAlarm. One feature I like Is the ability to block applications from using the net. I''ve looked with Shorewall and wonder if it does, or was ever meant to. Not a complaint, a curiosity. Kev -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Listers Do rules have to be open in both directions or will just outbound usually suffice? my loc net policy is set to drop so I have more control over what''s open, and so far so good. Tom, Thanks for a great piece of coding. Kev

Has anyone gotten this printer to work with Redhat/Samba? My system is RH 7.2 , Kernel 2.4.20, samba 1.2.7a. Sometimes, VIA CUPS, it will print a test sheet, but I cant seem to get it to work locally with a raw queue. I've tried Foomatic but it just messed up my printer database so I reinstalled printconf, Linuxprinter.org says it is partially compatible with the omni driver, which I have

Hi, I have a linux (redhat 6.0) print server and I am running samba 2.0.3-8 serving win95 machines. I would like the print server to send a message to the win95 when a print job is completed. To do that, I run winpopup on win95. However, if win95 users close winpopup, they do not receive any message. Is there any more realiable method to communicate with win95 machines? I would appreciate any

Just wondering if there is a way to send a WinPopup message to a user (using username). I have had a look at smbclient but it appears to only allow sending messages to a computer name. Thanks in advance, Russell Kliese

Before I start I should say that I will pay $2000US to get the information or code I seek. I need code or protocol specs to be able to send winpopup messages. It cannot be done via mail slots because it has to work over the internet at large. If you type in "net send x.x.x.x hello" on any windows nt or xp machines it will send a winpopup using UDP ports 137 and then 135 (also 1031 and

Hello i am sending winpopup messages throught (smbclient -M) and it seem to work fine but i dont recieve anything at my w98 machines. For example, i do: ---------------------- jorge@tagoror:~> smbclient -M ALFA added interface ip=192.201.11.67 bcast=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 added interface ip=192.201.11.1 bcast=192.201.11.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response

Greetings- Perhaps slightly OT, but still involving the SMB/CIFS protocol: I am searching for an application which would allow a Linux client (Ubuntu) to send/receive WinPopup messages. The only one I have located thus far is LinPopup. However, it depends on the Samba (server) package. I do not want to deploy a bazillion Samba servers! TIA! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Hi there. how do I send a winpopup message to a machine knowing its IP only? I tryed witch 'smbclient -M ' but I need the netbios for that machine... -- Enrique Iglesias Rodriguez System Administrator http://www.intelideas.net Madrid, Spain -- CtrInt
