I'm having an unusual problem with my new samba servers. Notice, servers is plural, meaning all of my new servers are experiencing exactly the same problem at different times throughout the day, which leads me to believe that the "problem" is not with samba but with my Win2k server. However, I still need help in determining what is causing the problem... At various times during

I have a printer that requires each user to have the ability to modify his/her defaults without administrator intervention. This printer is a Canon ImageRunner 5000. Each user has the option of setting the "Printing Preferences" to either print directly or to a mailbox on the printer. Up to this point (three weeks now), I have been unable to accomplish this simple task. For all

I'm having some unusual results with smbmount. I've tried mounting multiple server shares from multiple servers with the same results. Here's my command line... /usr/sbin/smbmount //Gilligan/Homedir /mnt/mktg -o username=jlahners,password=xxxxxxx,debug=6 smbmount never returns however, the mount is established and I can view the entire directory structure as if the mount succeeded.

All - I'm having an unusual problem with MS PhotoDraw opening and saving files to my Samba server. When I open the file, all's fine. When I try to save the file, I get an error message that says "Unable to save the file. <Filename> could not be found." At this point I have to navigate to the directory where the file was and save it. However, when watching WinExplorer

Hi, maybe (probably ??) it's me, but it took me more than a week to get winbindd working on Redhat 9. It works now after changing a parameter in smb.conf, but I have NO idea why. Maybe some of you already had the same problem. If so, PLEASE clearify ! Thanks... PS as you will see later, getent group also does not work. This is an independent problem I think... can it have something to do

I'm trying to migrate my existing RedHat ES Samba PDC to Ubuntu. The RedHat version of Samba is 3.0.9 and the Ubuntu version is 3.0.14a. Everything was going fine until I tried to import the LDIF of the existing LDAP directory. The LDIF actually imports all of the structure (OU and Group definitions) and all of my users, but it fails when it comes to my first machine account with this

I've had a Samba 3.0.2 Print Server running for nearly 7 months now without too much of a hitch on RedHat Enterprise "ES" 3.0. Late last week, RedHat issued an Errata that moved Samba from the 3.0.2 base to the 3.0.4 base. So when I did the "up2date" this weekend as part of my normal maintenance, this server was updated and everything appeared to be fine. Things are

All - I'm having a problem with the "valid users" directive working. I have an Accounting share that only the Accounting department should have access to. However, I am unable to lock the directory down so only they can access it. I am running samba-3.0.0-2 from an RPM on RedHat 9.0. Below are details of my trials. This is a pretty urgent need, please. Thank you! smb.conf

I've got a Red hat 8.0 machine running the latest "up2date" version of Samba (2.2.7 with Red Hat's patches) acting as a print server using CUPS. The printing of documents is fine for the most part. But I have noticed one thing that is really nothing more than an annoyance and was wondering if anyone else has seen the problem and possibly a cure. I have all Windows 2000 Pro

Hi All! Thanks to all of you that responded to my previous posts. I've gotten a lot more info now than I used to have! But I still have questions. The biggest right now is: Is there a way build up a Samba PDC as a direct replacement for an existing Windows NT 4.0 PDC? All the material I've found to date is written from a standpoint of creating a new domain as you create the Samba

(I apologize if this is not the right list for this question, this seemed the closest thing to a winbind list that I could find) Is it possible to have winbind return usernames simply as 'username' and not 'domain+username'? The linux box I am setting this up for will basically not have any local accounts, so collisions are not a problem, and it will only be accessing one

I've got a Samba (3.0.14a) controlled domain that contains 1 Windows 2003 Server as a member server. I've been thinking about using Terminal Services from that machine to allow roaming users (ie, those outside of the office) to connect to our network and get work done. My only concern at this point how to deal with the lack of an Active Directory and still allow Terminal Services to

Since we're on the subject of Samba over the WAN.... (BTW, I'm running three offices with a Samba 3.0.9 PDC and two Samba 3.0.9 BDCs over an FreeSwan based WAN and it works just fine. The WINS server is a must in my book though.) Last Thursday and Friday, one of the remove office's WAN lines went down. While the outages were significant, nothing major happened because of it. But,

I have a problem on the two heaviest-used Samba servers in my company. They both are exhibiting the same problem, just in different ways. Stargazer is my "Main" File and LDAP directory server - it functions as the "PDC" for my network. It's running Red Hat Enterprise Linux "ES" 2.1, a recompiled custom Red Hat "ES" version of Samba 2.2.7 (to add LDAP

About two weeks ago, I posted a message to the list describing an error that I've been getting with Word 2000 documents. The subject line of that mail was: "Samba 2.2.7a and Word 2000 = Corrupted (?) files"; I submitted it on 10/15/03. I've not heard from anyone with a response to that inquiry, so I'm yelling for help one more time. I've scoured Google, the

Is there a way - without killing off Samba - to force a rebuild of the WINS database that Samba is maintaining? I've got a couple of completely bogus entries in WINS and I need to get rid of them, but I can't take the Samba server down to do it. I'm hoping that I can issue a couple of commands and poof the WINS database is blown away and it starts to repopulate with good data. If I

Hi All, A couple of days ago I posted a query here about the loss of performance on my backup server after I moved from Red Hat 7.3 to SuSE 8.1. It appears as though, with no hardware or script changes, that my backup process takes 4 hours longer with SuSE 8.1. I'm doing (what I think is) a very simple script that basically employs SMBMOUNT, CP, and DIFF. Like this:

Hi All: Stuff I'm using: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 2.1 Samba 2.2.7 OpenLDAP 2.0.25 I followed the Idealx.org howto to build Samba+LDAP. I have a functioning, replicating domain on my lab workbench right now. Then I began to explore permissions on local shares, etc. when I discovered that to a Windows client, the only domain groups that are available from a Samba PDC are "Domain
