Hi Collective users of Samba, (does has a nice ring to it eh?) Recently I found a my samba server being infected by win32 viruses. Though it does not affect the server in any way, I do find them to be an annoyance. I understand also that I can perform "veto" of files like *.exe in smb.conf but find that to be a wee bit restrictive. There are some users who stores valid executables in

Hi I have read that Samba can emulate an NT Domain. Is this still possible? I dont see much about it listed anymore. Is it still supported in 2.2.8a. Does anyone have any information concerning this? We would like our version to do this so we can do some testing with one of our NetApp 880's. -- Thank you TJ _________________________________ Steven ?Todd? Johnson State of Alaska Dept.

Happy New Year to everyone: I have followed the instructions at shorewall.net/samba.htm. I''ve restarted the samba server, shorewall, rebooted, everything. And from my network I cannot browse available shares on the firewall (192.168.1.1) telnet 192.168.1.1 138 fails with connection refused, which I don''t understand. All other open ports respond with a string. -- Philip

I currently have a setup of 1 NT 4.0 PDC server and to SUSE boxes sharing via a samba share. I seem to have to make 5 different usename/password databases. 1 for NT, 2 for each SuSe box (One Linux and one Samba). Is there a way to have 1 or maybe two databases to update? I've read about LDAP on other connections but I'm a little confused as to what is the best approach. Oh

Hi All, Just a general question about groups. I am upgrading a Samba workgroup, server to a PDC. I have been reading: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html#id2589321 In this link, they tell of how to map a windows group to a Samba group net groupmap add ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadm rid=512 type=d Question 1: if my previous

I have a home network based on Win XP Pro, with one Linux machine running Red Hat 9. All updates have been applied. There's no domain controller. I can connect from the Linux machine to the XP machines via Konqueror using smb://mymachine/myshare However, I can't use the mount command. I'm trying to use syntax like mount -t smbfs -o username=myname,password=mypwd //192.168.0.1

I have joined my win2k client machines (win2k professional or win2k professional server) to my PDC. This worked fine and I did all recommended as e.g. in the HOWTO http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-pdc.html#joining. So far I can also login localy to the win2k client machines using a local account and connect a network drive from the PDC using a valid account on the PDC (as given in the

Replies in email as im not subscribed to the list. If we have all our windows clients accessing our samba shares by ip address, do we need to have nmbd running or can I shut it off? -Dan

In samba howto collection it says : ... Don?t use it if you want to protect your passwords. Better share the printer in a way that does not require a password!

I'm just migrating a medium sambainstallation from old samba2.2.8 to new samba 3.0. The server is acting as PDC and there is no BDC. The new samba is based on LDAP and is already successfully tested. Now I need to transfer the whole old smbpasswd to the new ldap-style to convert users and machines with minimal effort. Especially I dont want to break the relations between the machines and

Dear all, Hope this question is not too trivial... In order to correct standard errors from an estimation of a fixed effects regression model y need to extract the vector of standard errors of the coefficients of a simple linear model estimated using lm(var1~var2+var3+var4) Unfortunately I can't find out the corresponding function. Thank you very much for your help. Uli -- Uli

Has anyone tried to wrap your SMB session inside another TCP protocol like SSH? I'm trying to sync files across two linux machines but my broadband provider is blocking SMB and port 139 traffic.

Hi, when i try to join a winxp pro client to my samba domain i get an access denied error. Checking /etc/passwd and smbpasswd shows an new created mashine account, but the account is disabled and without a password. I'm using a debian 3.0 Linux with Samba 2.2.8a-1.0 and the following add user script: /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g workstations -s /bin/false -M %u Is there something

I have been asked to set up a Linux Samba file server as well as set up user-level access control for a medium sized real estate agency. Currently, the office is a on a single workgroup and there is only one UID for all users. The owner wants to set up individual accounts and server spaces for each agent. Until I can convince him that converting everyone to Linux workstations, I have to support

  I've been having problems mounting WinXP shares with Samba 2.2.7a & 2.2.8. I attribute this to WinXP using encrypted passwords, but I've set my smb.conf file with "encrypt passwords = yes" and despite a lot of searching, can't find any other option or flag that might help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

i have an NT4 server and a linux samba server. the NT4 server is currently the WINS server. it works perfectly. i want to ditch it and use my samba server as the WINS server, however WINS simply does not work. could this be becuase the WINS server also needs to be the local master browser? here is the global section of my smb.conf [global] workgroup = laboratory os level = 2

Hi to all, i'm new to the mailing list, because i already searched the whole list and google fot this, but i could not find anything: I have set up a cute Samba 3 PDC as described here: http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#id2498710 In fact the setup is nearly exactly the same.

Dear Mr. Andrew Tridgell, I am new to samba. I understood that it allows you to share the files from Microsoft windows env. and UNIX environment. I need to install the software on my UNIX machine. Do I need the license? I downloaded the following file. samba-latest.tar.gz I copied to UNIX env. and gunzip and tar to extract all the files. Is this correct step? I will appreciate, if

Dear all, I'm looking for a way to solve a simple optimization problem with a nonlinear constraint. An example would be max x s.t. y = x * T ^(x-1) where y and T are known values. optim() and constrOptim() do only allow for box or linear constraints, so I did not succedd here. I also found hints to donlp2 but this does not seem to be available anymore. Any hints are welcome,
