Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

Hi, I have a client with 2 Win98 out of 15 computers that refuse to see the server when they first turn them on in the morning. When they logon as a new user, not a reboot, it connects and they work fine for the rest of the day. They can even reboot whenever they want throughout the day and it works, but when they turn it off over night, the computers refuse to see the domain the next morning.

Is there such a thing as a Samba logoff script? I am currently using [NETLOGON] for logon scripts, but for the adding and removing of printers via WSH, I'd prefer to also remove these printers after I log off. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/

Hi, Every once in awhile the subject of faxing through Samba comes up and there are some really interesting solutions offered. Here we go again. My question is more related to hardware. What modems are the successful Samba faxers using these days? Though to software works fine, the hardware leaves a something to be desired. Thanks. -- Bob Crandell Assured Computing When you need to be sure.

Hi, I've been trying to get the logon script to with in XP. This same logon script works in Win98. I finally discovered that it will work if I change logon drive = to logon drive = z: Now I'm really confused. The Netlogon is path is /home/samba and shared as \\server\netlogon. Z: is mapped as \\server\home\. This means the path to the logon script is Z:\samba\logon.bat Not

I have the problem of needing to hide some directories from the browse list (Win98 clients) of some users (total of about 250). I am expecting to create behaviour similar to the home directory where only the home owner can see it. I would like to make some shares visible only to users in a certain Unix group. I have a share 'Automation' with a sub-directory structure and I use Unix

Hi, I have 2 clients that have expressed an interest in switching some users to Linux workstations as a test to see if they can avoid paying some of the Micro$oft tax. They will be sharing Word and Excel data. I'll be installing OpenOffice to begin with. Maybe they might be interested in Gnumeric later. My question is how to tell either Linux or Samba or both to allow any user to

Hi, The login script has worked for our win98 computers since the dawn of time (or there abouts). Then something happened or I did something and the login script doesn't run anymore. I can run it manually. This was version 2.2.3a. I started smbd with -d10 and didn't see any call for a script. Is the login script mentioned in a working system? In an effort to fix this, I deleted and

G'day, I have installed Slackware 9 several times. On each occasion the samba install defaults ot /etc/samba/private for smbpasswd etc. This is what I expect. I have just completed an install that took forever as I couldn't understand why testparm said the smb.conf was fine, but on starting smbd and nmbd both would start but smbd would die straight away. It appears it wanted

Hi, One of my friends came to me with a problem I've heard of before but haven't found an answer yet. Her situation is a Windows network with a mixture of Win XP and Win 98 computers. There are 4 98 machines of which 2 are giving her, and now me, fits. Seems these 2 loose their drive mappings after about 5 - 10 minutes of idle time. They work fine as long as the user is actively doing

I hate being stupid. Here is the answer: This won't work: [global] logon script = %U.bat # Win9x needs this This will work: [global] # Win9x needs this logon script = %U.bat The comment has to be on it's own line. Thanks to all for trying to help. Bob Crandell (bob@assuredcomp.com) wrote*: > >Hi, >The login script has worked for our win98 computers

Hi there, Is there someone over there knows a method or script that can copy a large volume of data (in folders) from PCs to a samba server (suppose there is enough space there)? I know using smbclient or smbtar can backup data on PCs to samba server, but it is written in tar files.I wonder whether this method can handle a large folder, say, in 10GB size. Also, using smbclient with mget and

Hi, I have Samba version 2.2.7 up and running as a PDC for several Windows 2000/XP clients, as well as file sharing working. However, when I try to use it as a Win9X logon server, I can not seem to make it work. Whenever I try to logon from the Win98 computer, I get the error message "Incorrect Parameter" (in windows) and get the following message in the nmbd.log file: =-=-=

Hello. We have at the firm a Windows 2000 Domain Controler. I recently configured a linux box, configured samba and joined the Win2000 DC. Everything went fine, i can connect to the Win DC, but i have a problem. On the DC there is a logon script, that basically defines a place on the Win DC where certain programs should keep their files and maps on every client two shares, that again reside on the

Greetings. A straight-out-of-the-cd Slackware 9. A straight-out-of-the-tar Samba 3.0.0. # cd source # ./configure --with-automount --with-smbmount (...configure ran...) # make (...make ran...) # du ... What?? The bin/ directory amounted to over 400 MB! smbd over 24 MB, when the 2.3.x one I have is 1.7 MB? I presumed it erroneously linked all the libraries as static. So I did: # ./configure
