Hi, I installed Samba on Solaris to enable me print from the solaris workstation to a windows print server. When I start smbd and nmbd , smbd does not run but nmbd runs

Hello all, I am having a problem with Samba version 2.0.7 running on Solaris 2.7 and the way the log files are kept. In my smb.conf file I have "max log size = 2000", "log level = 2" and "log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%U". All of this works fine and does what one would expect. With this configuration on a busy system when the log file reaches its max size and gets

Try these two: bash> which testparam should tell you which testparam is being started. Is it where you expect it to be? bash> strace /full/path/testparam Gives you information on all system calls called from within testparam. It will give quite a bit of output and somewhere near the end you will find something like: open("/usr/lib/smb.conf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = ... This would

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

I am compiling 2.2.8 on a Caldera Openlinux box that was running 2.0.5 or some such. It already has a working config and uses samba.d dirs for it's files: /etc/samba.d /var/lock/samba.d /var/log/samba.d etc During compile I use following switches --with-piddir=/var/lock/samba.d --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba.d However the pid files are ending up in /var/run/samba instead of

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to samba. I am trying to mount a Windows 2000 share directory on my linux box using smbmount. I am able to do so successfully. But I do see some errors pop up when I run the command. My mount seems to be stable and it is mounted as rw. # smbmount "//EngineerWKS85/My Drivers" /mnt/samba -o username=MyUsername,password=MyPassword,workgroup=MyWorkgroup

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

After installing Samba 2.2.5 from source and editing my smb.conf, I get the following error when running testparm: Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf": Success Error loading services. ----------------------- smbd and nmbd will not start, and I can't imagine the

Hi... If you have successfully gotten samba 3.0.14a (or any other recent samba version) to work with ldap, can you perhaps email me your various config files so I can figure out what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've tried every thing I can think of, but I can't get samba 3.0.14a to work with ldap. The ldap server seems to be working and smbclient seems to

Hi all, I read the setup at http://www.blackh0le.net/articles/vpn-dun-howto.html to setup my VPN. However, I'm having a problem which I think is proxy-ARP not working. I like to ask you to see if you know what's going on. When I ping 10.77.1.1 from windows XP machine the packets get to the 10.77.1.1 machine, but they don't have a return path to get back. When I do ping the windows

Hello. I'm in need of some help to shed some light on a strange problem. The box is running Samba 4.1.7 on FreeBSD 9.2/amd64 and I suspect (though I'm not sure) all troubles started after the upgrade from 4.1.6. The setup is quite simple: no AD, no LDAP, only one server. A command as simple as "smbclient -U user //SERVER/SHARE", if fired up several times in a row on the

Hi ! I have installed a DC with samba-tool command and it works perfectly ! Control AD with the 2003 tools is very amazing, thanks for the job ! So, my next step is to install a file server as a member of the AD and not as a DC I read carfully this one : https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/Domain_Member Compiling samba : * ./configure --with-ads --with-shared-modules=idmap_ad

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

I was using smbtar to test backing up an NT server, everything works fine except that for quite a lot of the files it has an error downloading them(probably 2/3 of them actually). All it says is : Error reading file \dir\dir\file. Got 0 bytes Didn't get entire file. size=533, nread=0 I could see this happening if the file were opened exclusively such as the paging file, but to my knowledge

Hi I'm presently installing 2.2.8a on Mandrake 9.1 I'm a newbie to Linux as well as Samba, so it's been fun... When I first installed Linux I installed Samba from the discs (2.2.7a), but on reading up on the subject it became clear that I should give installing the source a go. My problem is this - I don't think I have rerouted all of the paths to usr/local/samba from what

hi all, I have a strange problem using the libsmbclient api.. retrieving or stating files named with percents in is for some of them impossible. Example: a file located at "smb://test/test/%7C2.txt" cannot be retrieved with my code, smbc_open fails with the code NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID. I am not sure but, url encoding/decoding that would escape strings with "percent"
