similar to: filenames with ":"

My samba setup cannot handle files whose names contain german umlauts (????). The server is samba 2.2.8a-1 on Redhat 8.0 (from the binary RPM from the samba site), the client is running WinXP Home Edition. When I create a file whose filename contains umlauts on the samba share from the WinXP machine, the filename is displayed with question marks instead of the umlauts by ls on the linux machine,

I've not been able to get Samba to print to a Lexmark Z53. If I call it a Z52, the driver uploads (to where, I have no idea so I can't check it) but I still can't get anything out of the printer.

Purpose: Create a File Server that can replace our windows file server. System Details: RedHat 8 Kernel 2.4.18-18 SGI XFS 1.2.0 2 disks 1 for the filesystem ext3 1 for the shares using xfs Most of the threads and articles I read about doing this told me that I had to recompile the kernel for acl support. Then I found a post that mention that XFS has built in ACL support. Which

We are planning to replace a quite big domain running W2K with Samba ( at the very least, the DC ). Though i'd love to have the extra security capabilities of W2K ( Kerberos ) as a DC, Samba/NT4 as PDC/BDC with ldapsam will more than suffice for now. The show-stopper right now is this: we need to be able to assign "real" Full Control permissions: a user who has "Full

Hello, I have installed cups on a linux server (running with RH 9.0). When executing "cupsaddsmb -a -v", I get an error: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFULL, when attemping to execute adddriver". Can someone help on the meaning of this error, and on its reason (cause) ? Please find hereafter a file with result (and the error) of this commmand "cupsaddsmb", for a printer:

Hi, I have posted this issue once but have not yet had a reply to it. Not sure maybe no one has an answer but I will try again. I have a linux box running SuSE 8.2 with samba 2.2.7-a58. Everything works well except when clients workstations copy files to their workstations, in particular my client running Mac OS X. Mac OS X supports the SMB protocol. I had a look at the logs but could not see

Hi Kurt, I've read the new document. It's a very fine piece of technical documentation. However, it doesn't help me in the present predicament. Going now by this book I'm only getting more frustrated. What are your versions of Samba, CUPS(?), OS, and Printer again? 2.2.8a, 1.1.18, SuSE 8.2 w/2.4.20-62, Lexmark C720 I'm stuck! I would

Hello, I have configured cups (1.1.18) on a Suse 8.2 Pro Linux server. I have also configured samba (2.2.7a), and joined a domain. I have created printers with cups and declared them to samba with cupsaddsmb command. All seems to be ok. I can print from my Linux server. But, when I want to print from ny windows2000 station: - I can find my linux server - I can find and connect printers

ok, stupid question time.... how does one use quotas and samba, i haven't seen anything mentioned in any man page re quote support.

Primarily because I've never gotten it to work despite frequent efforts. Offeding printer is a Lexmark Z53 (supposedly fully supported) and when ever I try to add it to an XP box I get "Server doesn't have the right driver, do you wish to upload the driver?" then when I do it says "Cannot connect to the printer.

Hi all, The two problems I'm having with ACLs on a W2k domain are still no closer to a solution. To wit, they were: (a) Users accessing the ACL properties dialog on W2k can modify and remove existing ACLs on a given file, but they cannot add new ones (that can only be done with setfacl on the cmdline; the changes are then recognised); (b) In said ACL properties dialog, the usernames

Hi, everybody! I have 20 WinXP client machines and a sever running Samba (first try was with 2.2.8, now it's 3.0.0rc1). If it matters to someone (for statistics, fun or for understanding the problem), i use Slackware 9.0 Linux, kernel 2.4.20 on server (and clients are XPpro/SP1, buld 2600 as far as i remember). I almost had no problems configuring samba for browsing and fortunately i

Hi! I'm having a small network with 10 WinXP Pro computers and a SuSE 7.3 Linux Server. I configured Samba to map the Windows Usernames of 9 computers correctly, but the one, with which Marc D?rner is working, is not mapped correctly. I found out, that this is caused by the "?" (german Umlaut). If the Username is "Marc Doerner" it'll work, but i'd like to keep it to

We have some Excel spreadsheets stored on our Samba 2.2.8 fileserver. The permissions are set such that some users can write to these and some cannot, but they can all read them (the world-readable bit is set). When a user with read/write access tries to open the spreadsheet, there is no problem. The user is happy and productive and outside the sun is shining. Excellent! Have a biscuit! When a

Hi, I am compiling Samba-3.0.1 on a Solaris 9 machine. I have gcc-3.3.2. Running "make" fails. Thanks for your advice.

Hi Matt, the problem you referred to is discussed in detail as bug #82 in Samba's bug tracking tool. It consists of 2 bugs. One prevents the registration of drivers and is due to a NULL-pointer passed from that part of code in rpc_server/srv_spoolss_nt.c which calls sys_adminlog function. It begins with the comment /* BEGIN_ADMIN_LOG */ and ends with the comment /* END_ADMIN_LOG */

Hello all, I have always experienced VERY SLOW response times on opening an EXCEL sheet ever since I had started to use SAMBA WAY back. I have been hoping that a newer release would fix this one issue but it never seems to happen. Does anyone know what could be the problem? I can open the same Excel sheet on a Novell server and it opens instantly. I have no problems with WORD documents. They
