Hi all, banging my head on the wall here... I think I'll never really understand codepages stuff. smbd is v 3.0.1, client is french win98 - yuk my smb.conf reads: unix charset = UTF-8 display charset = UTF-8 dos charset = CP850 when I create a folder/file with accents in it, I can create it ok, but reading proves impossible. If i create file ??????, it shows ok in the file explorer

Our shared file server decided to take a hiatus from WINS earlier this week. On friday we could see the machine name in the browse function of any windows box when you went to the map network drives portion of windows explorer. Now the only way I can map a network drive is to enter the server's IP like this: \\ 192.168.xxx.xxx\sharename But this also presents a problem because this server

I run a script to mount several file shares from machines running W98 and W2000 so that I can do incremental dumps every night of these file shares. smbmount almost always fails to exit. This causes the script to stall and so the dumps are not done. In the am, if I kill the smbmount processes, the dumps complete successfully, since the mounts were in fact correctly completed. (I know that

Hi all, I'm new on this List, I'm having troubles with samba at share from Linux <Gentoo Ker 2.4.20> to Win2k (Samba version 2.2.8a). For now I can start the daemons normally, but when I try to access from win2k or the same Linux with smbclient this return errors, I already have to configured the smb.conf file, I can connect without problems to the sharing point's on the NT

Hi all! I need a setup that will log exactly when a user has logged in or out of samba. Preferably I would like to have a separate list per user, but this can also be achieved with grep. I found some solutions that rely on login script processing which is nice if your clients are running Win95/Win98 but for anything else it won't work. Anybody know of a solution? Thanks!!

i'm having problems with preexec scripts... see example below [homes] preexec = mkdir /samba/users/%U do exec scripts only work in a Samba PDC setup or are we able to use exec scripts in any setup ? if you look at the preexec script above, all i'm trying to do is make a dir for the connecting user (i don't need to make an account as the samba server is seup as a domain member server

Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...

Hello, On RedHat 9 with samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0, I am connecting to a windows network through a cisco VPN connection. When the vpn is established, I can make smb calls (for example, I can browse network objects using gnome-nautilus)... and I can explicitly resolve names; for example: wbinfo -N dheld3 (works) nmblookup dheld3 (works) however, a more general lookup fails ping dheld3

Hello, Samba-users, please don?t beat me, but I have to ask this question here, as I haven?t found an answer I can rely on until now. I am working on a solution for a backup-problem and one possible solution could be the use of smbfs/smbmount. I am testing that now, mounting a WinXPHome(sorry, testing ...)-share which is 20GB of size (8GB used) to my linux-box. The linux-box is a bit more

There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd,

I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2. I also have Samba 2.8.8a installed per instructions from Mandrake -- but I do NOT start Samba 2.8.8a automatically. In fact, I don't use it at all. Maybe I should uninstall the Samba 2.8.8a rpm??? I will update to 3.0.1 as soon as an rpm is available from Mandrake. Anyway, I have a problem when I try to add a new share to my smb.conf file. I

Hello, We've just migrated from Netware to Samba and have only 1 problem that's affecting our users. When a user creates a new document in a directory the owner and group or both set to root. The directories are owned by a specific user and there is also a group associated with the directory. I was expecting that any new documents created would have the same user and owner as the
