Hi I have installed samba 2.2.8 on a box running Fresco as a router and Web server. On my Win2000 box I can see the router but when I try to get in and access the shared files it asks for a password I don't know what it is I never set that up. What password does it come with by default? I ran the command smbpasswd and get the following msg Failed to find entry for user Root Failed to modify

is smb over ssh still valid? i eagerly tried it as specified in the unofficial samba howto <http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html>, but no go. net view responds "System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found." ssh (putty, with port 139 forwarded to localhost:139) did successfully connect from a win2k machine accross the internet to my redhat 7.2

I have joined my win2k client machines (win2k professional or win2k professional server) to my PDC. This worked fine and I did all recommended as e.g. in the HOWTO http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-pdc.html#joining. So far I can also login localy to the win2k client machines using a local account and connect a network drive from the PDC using a valid account on the PDC (as given in the

Hello. I am looking at using SAMBA 3.0.0 on a RedHat 9 server. Have a 2.2.8 working. I am having trouble with documents about 3.0.0. Any recommendations would be great, thanks. Now the question. I ran testpram on a 3.0.0 install and I get a "Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE" What is this? I see no reference to this. Thanks for the help. Karl Banasky Computer Systems Administrator

Hello, I am getting this error when Win XP machines print to my SAMBA server. I think it is a compile issue, if so how do I recompile or get it in place. I used RPM to 'install' SAMBA. Anyone have any suggestions? I am using SAMBA 2.2.6a with CUPS 1.1.8 on Caldera OpenLINUX 3.1.1 Error: Jan 24 11:15:34 heatconlinux smbd[4787]: [2003/01/24 11:15:34, 0]

Hi Collective users of Samba, (does has a nice ring to it eh?) Recently I found a my samba server being infected by win32 viruses. Though it does not affect the server in any way, I do find them to be an annoyance. I understand also that I can perform "veto" of files like *.exe in smb.conf but find that to be a wee bit restrictive. There are some users who stores valid executables in

I am looking to setup a domain server. I have tried and tried and this is the closest I have gotten so far. The main problem I have is in the user authentication. I am getting an error that the user or password is wrong. Currently it looks like Samba can not access the passwd file. What is this file? My log for the client give this error: [2003/06/05 15:35:35, 0]

I have a home network based on Win XP Pro, with one Linux machine running Red Hat 9. All updates have been applied. There's no domain controller. I can connect from the Linux machine to the XP machines via Konqueror using smb://mymachine/myshare However, I can't use the mount command. I'm trying to use syntax like mount -t smbfs -o username=myname,password=mypwd //192.168.0.1

Hello. I am looking to get the parameters that the Caldera RPM was made with. I have noticed that it is not being updated and would like to get the current ver. on my system, but need to have the same links to various files. Can anyone help me to find the parameters? I would be interested in making the RPMs but need to know how to make them first, maybe some direction to info on making RPMs.

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

I have a FreeBSD 4.10 box with samba 3.04 set up and a Windows XP pro sp1 client. Everything is fine, except every 15 minutes or so for no apparent reason the connection drops and I'm unable to access the server. Then after a few minutes the whole thing starts working again, and 15 minutes or so later, the connection drops again. The problem is pretty similar to

Hey, I worked for days on this, and I want to share the solution I stubled across. I got this error message from my wife XP laptop: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found. Please try again later. If this message continues to appear, contact your system administrator for

Hi folks :-) I'm just installing a fresh new samba server, and trying to authenticate some win xp machines.

Hi, I have one NT4 PDC that needs to be migrated to Samba-PDC. No Active Directory. Just users, groups, windows shares... the works. I'm seeing that Samba-3.x is "very PDC-oriented". I like that. But, so far, Samba-3 is still in beta/pre-release versions and in my "stock" distribution, Samba is on 2.2.7a version (2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix). Should I wait for Samba-3?

Hi there-- I'm using Debian testing ("Sarge") and recently upgraded to 3.0.0beta2-1 from 2.2. It broke, and I've been pulling my hair our trying to get it working again.

Hey, I had a problem with rebooting XP and joining the samba domain, which was controlled by my gentoo linux box. I worked for days for a solution, and found it....!!!! The problem was that I could join the domain fine, but had to reboot, and then found i was rejected from joining then. It appeared like the domain was invisible to the XP box. I pulled my hair out, scoured the web

I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find the FAQ document for this list. I also could not find anything relevant in other Samba documentation sources like http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html. There seems to be plenty of information about using Samba *as* a DC, but I want to know if I can use Samba *with* a Windows 2000 DC. We have two DCs running Windows 2000, a W2K
