similar to: [bug?] smbclient does not honour '-s' option

I was trying to improve the performance of BackupPC http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/, which uses smbclient to connect to Windows systems to backup Windows desktop systems. I'm currently running Samba 2.2.8a on a fairly beefy Solaris 9 system and only getting 200-700 KB/sec from the Windows clients. The 700 KB/sec is when I connect to a dual-Athalon 2600+ Win2K system attached to the

I noticed lots of smbclient options are missing in Samba 3.0.14a when compared to 3.0.13 - notably, all user/authentication options - so I can't connect now as a specified user anymore. Is it just my build, or is it "official"? Samba 3.0.14a: # smbclient --usage Usage: [-?] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-R|--name-resolve NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER] [-M|--message HOST] [-I|--ip-address IP]

Hi! Two problems: 1) I can access shares by IP but not by name, so I assume that WINS doesn't do its job for some reason, smb.conf: [global] wins support = yes name resolve order = lmhosts wins hosts bcast 2) I don't quite get it how smbclient works. As I mentioned name resolve does't work and hance smbclient -M MACHINE doesn't either but an IP should work: # nmblookup -A

Hi all, Situation: We use smbtar for backups, incrementals done using -N <last date file>, and this has worked well with samba 2.2.x After upgrading to 3.0b3, using the -N (newer) option to smbtar causes a bad interaction with smbclient. Eg,: # smbtar -s PC -x Share -u User -p Pwd -d / -t - -N last-backup -v gives (if you print out the eval at the end of smbtar script): eval

Hi, I'm trying to use SmbClientParser to implement a simple SMB crawler. After a lot of effort, I still could not get it to work. Here is my small test script: [CODE] #!/usr/bin/perl use POSIX; use Filesys::SmbClientParser; use DBI(); use Socket; use Sys::Hostname; use strict; my $host; my $smb = new Filesys::SmbClientParser (undef, ( user => '', password

Running smbclient 2.2.0-alpha2 on Redhat Linux 7.0 I don't have a fully installed samba suite with full setup and really only use smbclient occasionally like an ftp client. I'm able to access a win2k and win98 box that way from my linux workstation. Able to access but not transfer anything to the win98. Although I can transfer files from/to the win2k box. I have no passwords set on

Hi list, I run a Samba-3.0.0beta3 / Heimdal-0.6 system and want it to be the BDC of our Win2003-controlled domain. The reason is that we had to move from our perfectly working samba-PDC to a windows system and I want to keep the user profiles on the old, but stronger, Linux box(now on SuSE8.2). I get(kinit) a ticket of the Win2003 without any problem, even for admin users. But If I try to connect

Dear Samba users, I am trying to update our local samba packages to 3.0.28. They are built against heimdal-1.0.1 and openldap-2.3.38. The Redhat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 packages are working fine so far in my limited testing. The problem with heimdal and "net ads join..." has been fixed on all 3 platforms. On the Solaris 8 server, the "net ads join..." works correctly and the

Hi all, to raise the bug vs success ratio i'd like to express my gratitude to all samba members and those who, though not in-core developers, generously supported noobs like me on this mail list. I've set up an environment two months ago and it has run without glitches or tweaks since then. Now as misusing my family as beta testers has worked out so nicely i will deploy an identical

We defined a share, sales_cifs_test, on our NetApp server. Note that the length of the name is longer than 13 characters. We can see the share with Microsoft Explorer. We can mount the share from Linux using smbmount. What we want to do is to get a list of shares from NetApp. The tools that can do this are the samba programs smbclient and net. Smbclient will not show names longer than 13

Running recent cvs from head branch, attempting to list shares on a machine running win2k. Can anyone tell what is wrong here. It does have several shares including a printer. I can connect with: smbclient /chub/SHARE -U Adminstrator (and get prompted for password) What does the line `NetShareEnum failed' below, mean (Sorry about verbose output) #

Hi, it looks like you have something really messed up on your system. The size of the file is 1243 bytes (from strace) but 0 bytes are being read. If you had no permission to read the strace would have looked like this: open("/etc/samba/smb.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) A quick look at the source code reveals: /etc/samba/smb.conf is opened in file_load

Hi, Does anyone know if there has been any more progress on the problem of browsing 'complex dfs roots' see http://lists.samba.org/archive/smb-clients/2006-February/000622.html Basically it occurs whenever you have a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree where the links are to subfolders of the destination share. Microsoft clients have no trouble browsing such trees. The Samba HOWTO

Hi, I use a samba 3.0.2a server on a Linux Mandrake 10.0. This morning, I found the nmb daemon shut down with the following message in the nmbd log file : [2004/07/03 20:39:53, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(263) reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Shutting down... Over the web, I found many questions about this problem but no real answer. Any idea or precision about this. It is a

Hi, I'm setting up a PDC, but joining the clients (w2k, nt4) fails. I use this in smb.conf: add user script = add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u Just using the script I get the error: "no account in domain" under linux. Useradd itself works but it seems to fail for samba. All clients originally used a nt4 PDC. Now this nt4 PDC must be

Hello, We have a samba file server running on Fedora Core 1. I have installed 3.0.11 from RPM package for Fedora. This release have some problems and I need to upgrade. Instead of usinf RPM, I'd like to build samba myself from the sourcecode. I already do that without problem but when installing binaries, lib and config files, it uses default installation directory (ie /usr/local/samba)

After installing samba-1.9.18p10 on my Solaris 2.6 Server, I got the following messages. If you are familiar with theser errors, please help. smbclient error message: params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/opt/samba-1.9.18p10/lib/smb.conf": Too many open files load_client_codepage: filename /opt/samba-1.9.18p10/lib/codepages/codepage.850 does not exist.

I've got a home network with using win2k pro. Do I need to set Samba up as a pdc for the w2k machines to connect? Currently I've got my w2k machines set up as a workgroup and simply set up Samba as a member of that workgroup. My problem is that I cannot connect to it. I see my samba box in my network neighborhood, however, I cannot browse it. I'm running Samba 2.2.2 that came with

Hi folks. I discovered this odd behaviour a few days ago while playing with SAMBA_3 for the first time. The following points apply to samba-3.0.0beta and to cvs-20030807. 1. (tested with tdbsam) If I create a user entry with pdbedit, the domain name field is not set to the domain specified in the configuration file. For me it's getting set to the local machine name. If I logon to a
