hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

If I have a client that wants to enumerate and access shares on a subnet, and that client knows the IP of the WINS server, is there any need for the client to use the "browsing" services of a DMB or LMB? What is the order of operations of the client? Here is what I imagine to be the case: 1. client asks LMB for a list of all available shares 2. LMB sends client the list of all known

I have been searching for info on this and haven't found an authoritative answer. From what I have read, oplocks are good because they increase connection speeds, but they are bad because they don't really work, but they actually do work, but they only work in some cases, etc etc. so, here's my problem and my question together: I get tons of these messages every day (over a thousand a

I am wondering if anyone has ever answered the question of group policy operability under Windows 9x. That is, I am _not_ looking for a work-around but the real thing--one config.pol file to service several groups. I have done my homework, hopefully well, but found nothing. To prove this, I will quickly summarize my findings below. Either I have found: 1. a list of unresolved (mostly

I ran out of gas by looking through google also... :-( With Best Regards YS

I have posted this question twice without any response. We are running samba on an OpenUnix 8 machine, then we are mapping the samba share on a Windows 2000 machine. If we run our process from the Windows command line..(copying files to the share) everything runs great. The problem is if someone telnets to the Windows 2000 machine and runs the same process they get "The specific network

Hello everyone. Well, I have a couple of questions regarding roaming profiles. I have been assigned the task of setting up a Samba PDC on our network.

At my office there's talk of moving from a "WorkGroup" currently hosted through samba to a Domain, possibly hosted through samba. Anyone got a definitive "why we should or should not rip out the existing, working workgroup to put in a domain?" :wq! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.

Good day, We have set up a Samba 2.x domain. So far so good. We want to lock down the workstations. For example, we don't want users to have access to the run command from the start menu and we don't want them to access control panel. >From what I have read NT 4.0 system policies seem to be the way to go. Is this correct? If so, what utility can I use to create the policies? Are

Does anyone have use for a broadcast/annouce app? I wrote SystemAnnounce which will play a specified file to all active channels (in an UP or bridged state). This was originally to tell users to get off the system, but there are several other uses... I also wrote a new CallPickup and CallPark app, both of which work more as expected (supply actual extension numbers, etc). Let me know if there

It is my understanding that roving profiles cannot be implemented without using encrypted passwords. It is also my understanding that encrypted passwords cannot be implemented without pointing smb.conf to a windows password server. I'm trying to set up a samba server on a Linux (RedHat 7.3) to act as a PDC and a provider for roving profiles - when I do things with cleartext (encryption
