Another thing that is rude is for list members to set a vacation auto-reply to a mailing list... -- Jerry Sloan <jerry@fptech.net> fP Technologies, Inc

Ok, believe it or not, I've looked through all 209 pages of the Samba-HOWTO_Collection.pdf plus used this mail list and other internet sources, used those recommendations, tried almost every possible iteration on the samba.conf file, looked at logs until nauseated and have concluded that there is no way that Windows ME can connect to a Linux box using Samba. Connecting to the WinME box from

I am trying to change some ACLs on some files and directories. I have samba binaries with acl support compiled in. I am using an XFS filesystem. The Mandrake kernel supports acls by default. When I right click on the file in Windows explorer and change the permissions, I get an access denied error. If I use smbcacls, I get the following: [root@luna tmp]# smbcacls //luna/tmp test.txt -U jim -A

We're in the midst of setting up some XP workstations and came across a rather large security problem... Essentially, when bob logs into a workstation (samba acting as the PDC), then alice logs onto the workstation, alice can peruse bob's [homes] share. Anyone know how I would go about disabling this? I'm at a complete loss -- the only thing I could think of was the Cached Logon

I have been getting spam through the samba list. Is anyone able to post to the list without subscribing? -- Jerry Sloan <jerry@fptech.net> fP Technologies, Inc

Hi all, I seem to remember that some time ago (after some nasty VBScript virus or other) that there were postings to the list about how a registry change could be rolled out to all the client workstations with Samba. Of course, now I'd like to try it, I can't find the details any more. Can anyone tell me how its done? I thought there was functionality in rpcclient, but can't find

Is their a source rpm for the 3.0beta1 rpm? I would like to recompile it for ACL support, but I cannot seem to find one. Any links? Brent Norris Assistant DTC, Edmonson County Schools Cell: 270.246.0152

Okay, I'm really starting to run out of ideas here. Any help would really be handy. I'm looking after a small network, clients are running win2000 SP3 and a Linux Server running samba, doing domain logins. Everything is working fine apart from two machines (from ten). Probably once a week one of them will fail to login in after a reboot or log off. If any user tries to login into the

I'm trying to use Access 2002 on a Samba server.....question, are there special Samba parameters that need to be set so that 3-5 users can enter data? All users have proper access (no pun intended) to the SAMBA server..... thanks jr

So, with the updated HAL, I'm now able to negotiate an IP address via DHCP over the WLAN. Huzzah! But I've got two questions (now that I can use the card): ath(4) doesn't contain a list of media nor mediaopt settings that can be used. Some are detailed down in EXAMPLES, but there's no comprehensive list. (As well, and this is minor, the speeds are explicitly listed for 802.11a

Hi, I am considering using the dfs options in samba. The question I have is about file replication. I want to set up dfs between two servers (one dfs share points to two real shares). In particular, I want have a share on one and a replica on the other as a fallback in the even of the first failing. I have done it on windows 2K server before. I am considering using rsync to replicate the files

Hi all, In continuing of previous problems, I've noticed some potential problems with force user / force group and Windows XP Professional. I'm not exactly sure why or how, but it appears that XP picks up the fact that it's being connected as the forced user (smbguest), and continues trying to authenticate to other services/shares as that user (smbugest). I'm not sure if this

I've just updated a low-volume fileserver to 5.4-stable (as of Sep 13), and ever since, whenever I try to move or copy a directory onto one of its NFS shares, it causes a crash. I do not have a crash dump (no dumpdev enabled, unfortunately), but I can reproduce it quite easily. The client is a 6.0-BETA3 machine, but I have no other NFS clients to test from (easily). Is this something known

Hello, Am new to this list so pardon if this question has been asked before. I am trying to find a way to access MS "net shares" and be able to execute "net use" without installing MS. I am looking at a floppy-based linux+samba solution. Most of the floppy linux contain apps I don't need or are centered more towards a router. So I now plan to create my own bootable

Hello everyone. I wanted to get some feedback and opinions from people regarding the use of Roaming profiles. originally, I was planning on using roaming profiles. However, I am starting to wonder if this is such a good idea. The reason is that, if I implement roaming profiles, there is a good chance that there will be network congestion as well as a lot of stress on the server. (50 users so

I've just moved our current Samba installation to LDAP (to try to combat some other issues), and I've run into a large number of problems. One of them is that I'm quite new to LDAP. I've made our entries to be: organizationalPerson inetOrgPerson posixAccount sambaSamAccount I know that the 'Samba (v3) PDC LDAP howto' is out of date, and the Samba

If I right-click on an executable program (like a DOS batch file) that resides on a samba share and set properties like "full screen", that property is remembered on the machine with which I made the change. However, if I go to another machine and run that file, it uses the default properties. Doing a right-click from the other machine and viewing the properties also shows all the

I have added a machine account to /etc/passwd named luna$ and in smbpasswd named luna. When I attempt to join my Win2K box to the domain, I get this error. The following error occured attempting to join the domain: The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server. I am using openldap if that makes any difference. Jim

If I'm not mistaken, the sign or seal hack from samba2.2.3 is broken. Use the newer hack or manually modify your registry.
