Hello, I would like to upgrade my samba version 2.2.1a to 2.2.5!! Well I am trying to find a rpm for SuSE 7.3, but was not successfull yet. The several Readme's of Lars Mueller did not really help my. Also, first I do not want to compile by my self. Does any body know where to get such rpm?? If not, I cannot find the ./configure arguments for samba 2.2.5 in the source code tar.gz (

Hi, I recently tried to use ACLs with samba. XFS is running, I can set ACLs using setfacl and read them with getfacl, no problem so far. Samba compiled fine with '--with-acl-support'. Now I set up a share with 'nt acl support = yes', put there a file and added an acl with 'setfacl': root@edjo[ACLTEST]# getfacl datei.txt # file: datei.txt # owner: odenbach # group:

Hi everybody, I have a dilemma here about the user accounts. We have all the accounts at a NIS server. My samba PDC is another machine (different from the NIS server). What are my options for managing the accounts? 1) Central management (LDAP) 2) Keep different password files (passwd/smbpasswd) Are there any different options?? If I use the second option (2 - keep different password files),

Hi, I'm using debian woody with samba (2.2.3a-12.3). After installing 2.2.8a everything that worked, still works. What didn't work, still doesn't work. Sharing files works properly. I'd like to share a printer via the samba server. When I go to the printers&faxes share in explorer, no printers are shown. Hereunder is my smb.conf, /etc/lprng/printcap, and the logfile

Hello all, Samba 3.0.1 on Sun Solaris 5.9. I'm seeing both a share \\my_server\homes and a share \\my_server\<username>. For example: \\my_server\homes \\my_server\doejohn Or: \\my_server\homes \\my_server\doejane Both point to the home dir /export/home/doejane of user doejane. I want to get rid of the \\my_server\homes share and - in this case - only want \\my_server\doejane to

So SAMBA no longer supports print driver downloads. That is about the only conclusion that I can come to at this point. I've not been able to get Windows printer driver downloads to work right since Samba 2.2.2.
