I'm new to SAMBA and to Linux. Am trying to replace windows file and print servers with RedHat9. I set up the server and installed Samba 3.0.0. I had everything running fine for two weeks(file and print sharing). Yesterday I must have tweaked something, because now I cannot print! I can connect to the printer via Network Neighborhood, but print jobs do not make it to the printer. I still

I recently upgraded both of my samba servers (mirrors of each other) to 3.0.4, my log files now fill with the following messages (hundred lines per day): Jun 24 13:55:33 Clyde smbd[8597]: [2004/06/24 13:55:33, 0] lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(602) Jun 24 13:55:33 Clyde smbd[8597]: ERROR: string overflow by 1 (9 - 8) in safe_strcpy [LIBRA~V$.DOC] Jun 24 14:20:34 Clyde smbd[8597]: [2004/06/24

Hi, I've seeing the following error messages recorded in logwatch against samba in two FC6 XA-64 systems with samba 3.0.24-7. lib/util_str.c:safe_strcpy_fn(603) ERROR: string overflow by 1 (24 - 23) in safe_strcpy The main share in use on the first machine is via the guest account with Vista and XP clients, the other has more conventional shares with the Vista PC's as domain members

I used to be able to load printer drivers via "server properties". Now when I go in the printer drivers are listed and I can use the properties button but the Add/Remove buttons are greyed out. This is a Samba 3.0.0/2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0 box and I've tried both NT4sp6 and Win2003beta clients (both exhibit the same behaviour). I see the following in the log when I connect to

Hi, we've upgraded recently from samba 3.0.23 to 3.0.25b.

I updated one of my file servers to 3.0.6, and while file serving is improved (no M$-Office file already open messages), every time I access a printer my logs flood with messages like to those below. It seems I can set printer properites, etc... but when I print the jobs seem to go to never-never land (still researching where the jobs go). [2004/08/20 08:46:27, 0]

hey, I still have the problem described further down ! I had to downgrade to an older version to keep printing running on my site, is there any chance to investigate on this ? Please tell me if you need any further information / debugging output. This should be really easy to reproduce... kind regards ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY

I am attempting to setup a Samba printserver to replace our Windows Print servers. I have defined a few printers in CUPS, some raw, and some not. When I use the GUi to upload the drivers, The dialog works, however after that is accomplished, any attempt to get the printer properties or to use the printer from my W2K system (cpq0277) causes explorer to ABEND. System setup: RedHat 9 CUPS

Hi again, I changed from 3.4.5 to 3.3.10 after an AD upgrade to 2008R2 and prinitng is working mor ore less but it is incredibly sloooow. My server has no remarkable load so it is not due to hardware bottlenecks. Are there any ways to 'tune' 3.3.10 or any tricks to make it faster ? cheers ~christoph -- /* Christoph Beyer | Office: Building 2b / 23 *\ * DESY

Hi there, I use 3.5.2 with netbios aliases in security mode ADS. When I connect to the primary netbios name from a windows host I get the samba machine right away. Connecting to the netbios alias (which is on a differen IP address) I have to type name and pwd to get the connection. DNS entries are OK. Is there any way to get rid of the pwd question, I had the same setup with 3.0.20 for a

Hi Jerry et al, will the 2.2.6 release show the printers in the 'add-new-printer-wizzard' on the client like the WINDOWS server do ?
