similar to: WinXP + Samba: Explorer locking problem

I've setup Samba as a PDC and it's working fine. I have one windows xp machine already joined in the domain and working ok. But when i tried to add another WinXP machine to the domain, i got the error: "Could not join domain because the computer name is duplicated on the network". I don't think those were he exact words, but that's what it meant. Now, there is NO other

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

We are looking at implementing a Linux box running samba in the near future with about 1TB of disk online. The purpose of this box will be for basic file and printer sharing needs. I am doing research on the different journaling file systems avaible in RH 7.3 and up (ext3, reiserFS, and JFS) and was wondering if anyone has had any real world experience with them (mostly reiserFS and JFS) and

Hi I plan to set up a big file server, something like motherboard with 4 ide ports and an additional 4 ide daughter card, a PIV proc and 512 or 1024 MB ram, a 100 or 1000 MB NIC, with 6 or 7 200 GB ide HDDs in a sigle box. I don't need lightning performance, just disk space. Of course this would be served by some linux os and samba questions (relative to samba configuration and behaviour) :

I found this in the archives: http://samba.cadcamlab.org/lists/samba/Feb2002/00318.html It pertains pretty directly to the problem I'm seeing. I first started having it with my 2.7 installed version so I upgraded to 2.8. I'm still having the same problem. Basically, I have a group of web developers that use the linux/samba server for editing files for the site. All the files are

Hi [Samba]s This is a call for some generous people to try out the process of installation of a Samba printer on WinNT and WinNT Terminal Server Edition. I am working through Kurt Pfeifle's HOWTO on Printing and CUPS printing in Samba 3.0, and finding some issues with NT/TSE. It would be good if we had some confirmation or otherwise of these problems so that Kurt can update his HOWTO (this is

Hi there, i still have a weird problem with Powerpoint an Excel files stored on a Samba share. Only read on if you -use a samba share as MULTI-user file repository (no force_user etc.) -where multiple, different users share files in common directories -the modification time of a file is of any relevance to you. (seems like lots of folks don?t bother access rights or keep their information

I posted about 2 weeks ago about problems we were having copying files larger than about 17.6GB from NT to Samba 2.2.8a-1 on a Raidzone 1.3TB system. Since then we have done much investigation, together with the RZ people. I wanted to briefly post the current situation, in hopes someone may have some suggestions. One of the most recent and enlightening things we tried was to hang a spare

Dear Listmembers, I try to work with samba (newest rpm for SuSE, 3.0.1.pre2, but that does not matter, the effect was there in 2.2.7 and 2.2.8a too) on an sufficient armed system (the system does not matter either, I have tried it on different machines) using ReiserFS (version 3.6.4-12). When accessing one share from one machine (i.e. copying two or more files at a time to or from the share)

Hi all, I am running a samba server (2.0.3) in a small eth-based home network. There is only one win client (NT workstation, Sp4). The samba box ist set up with wins support enabled and the NT box? wins server entry points to samba server. Everything works fine: no error messages neither server nor client. The server shows up immediately in the NT?s network neigborhood. Browsing is fast. !!But

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 Johan, I'm having the same problems with DFS and WinXP clients since I upgraded to 2.2.8. I tried to clear the cache on the client side with dfsutil.exe that comes with the Win2000 SP2 but to no avail. Can anyone else confirm this problem? It's also strange that on the WinXP clients the version of the samba server is still registered as a previous version (2.2.6 or 2.2.7).

Hello people! I have set up samba guided by "The Unoffical Samba HOWTO, by David Lechnyr". But for the last 3 hours i have been banging my head into the wall. So i ask for youre help! The problem is that the WinXP clients fails to join the domain with the error message: FROM WINXP: "The specified network password is not correct" FROM LOG: "[2003/01/29 23:27:03, 0]

I am unable to copy a file larger than 4GB to a samba fileserver! My config: - client is windows nt 4.0 sp 5 (I tried sp 6 without any change, I tried w2k, too) - server (now) is samba 3.0.6 on suse linux 9.0 kernel 2.4.21-99-default/I586 - share is on a reiserfs hardware-raid array with plenty of free space (explorer correctly _shows_ >500 GB, mapped as ntfs drive) Every time I try to copy a

hi, i'm experiencying a strange problem with a mandrake 9.0 machine, kernel 2.4.19, samba (different versions, including latest). when I copy large amount of data from any win98 machine to a share directory on linux, after a random time the linux machine hangs; not responding even to ctrl-alt-canc, only possibility is to reset. I was using a realtek 8139 (driver 8139too) which I know

Hi. I know that this is the Samba list, however I searched the net and asked the below question on MS mailing lists, but I didn't got any usefull info, so: Does anyone know of any free tool that can be used from WinXP command line to backup files from NTFS 5 volumes paths (eg. \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1) to a file on a diferent disk or to a stream. The specific of my

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,
