When I attempted to "rpm -i samba3-3.0.0-1.1mdk.src.rpm" this morning on my Mandrake 9.2 box, I got an unusual message that doesn't make sense. It said, over and over (thirteen times total): WARNING: user bgmilne does not exist - using root When it went back to root prompt, I did an "updatedb", but nothing for "samba-3" is found when I did the urpmi request.

Not to be the annoying child, but I have found myself uniquely annoyed that I can't update RPMs that include Samba 3, and I'm not certain if that's because it's even ready for Mandrake 9.2. Does anyone have a bead on this? Should I just go back to 2.2.8 and wait for the stable, or can someone point out a URL that has a stable 3.0 on it? Thanks Eric

Two issues, and I'll discuss them both: I created on my NT4 domain a group called "branch99". They're a "local group" as far as NT is concerned, and it has two members; myself, and another fellow down the hall. My end quest is to create a share on a Mandrake 9.2 box running Samba 2.2.8, and have it permit or deny file access based on NT's typical discretions.

I have Samba 2.2.8 on Mandrake 9.2, and have successfully been able to create a folder that grants browse and write permissions to an NT group. But I had to go about it the weird way; after I proved that this user could browse the share (and that a person not in the group couldn't), I noticed that my group member couldn't write to the share. I experimented with different CHMOD things, and

In a discussion with one of the main answer people, of whose time I am greatly appreciative, it was suggested that some of my problem (or solution) may be to run Samba on a distro that's better suited for it. Problem is, I don't have the time nor the inclination to download a bunch of distros just to install, test, fdisk, repeat. So I ask. what is a recommended recent distro that works

I'm running Samba 2.27 on RH8 system. I've got samba as the print spooler for Windows XP clients and using winbind as the user validation against my Win2K DC. Permissions on the spool directory are root root with the sticky bit on. Clients can delete their own jobs from the que, but the spool directory is not being expunged of print jobs and the last job constantly displays in the client

Hi there, Ok. My last postings about my problems with printerinstalation over controlpanel were still not answered. So maybe I have to ask my question in an other way. Is someone able to install a printer shared by Samba 3/Samba pre3 x over the controlpanel? I can't. I can't see my Server. I can see the Domain name and I can see other clients wich belong to the domain. I can see all and

Hello, I've got an rh9 box which i am using for printing. I've got cups configured and my printer is working fine. Originally, i intended to use samba 2.2.x for printing, but then i saw that 3.0 was out so i installed it's rpm instead. My first of many questions, for printing to work correctly, samba and cups, what must be specified in terms of the printing line in smb.conf, bsd or

Hello! I have a Mandrake 9.1 box running Samba 2.2.7 (not ready to upgrade yet). Using both Swat and vim-ing the smb.conf file (and restarting after every change, just to see), I've finally gotten back to where I was yesterday, which is for my XP computer to be able to see the Mandrake box. Problem is, I have to type in the IP address of the box. For whatever reason, it doesn't show up

I'm just dying to know what the origin of these messages with the txt attachments is. I get quite a few here, and even some in other mailing lists. But they're all unique; the attachment filename starts with ATT (followed by four or five digits), and are 192 bytes long. The senders are often different. Anyone got a bead on this? Eric

Some of you have already read about my newbie fortune with this Samba3 install. Thanks to those who answered my original questions. Now I have something which I know is probably academic, and perhaps still newbie-related. When I installed Samba3 on Friday, it took me a little while to figure out that my names required adding a 3 to the end (SWAT3, SAMBA3, TESTPARM3, et al). I did not uninstall

I know I've read something about this in the distant past, but i can't seem to find any info on it now. I'm hoping someone knows offhand... I'm using samba 2.2.8a and cups 1.1.17 to serve printing to some windows 2000 workstations. Cups is set up with raw queues and I'm using the windows drivers available from HP. When the clients print from the windows print server,

Hello, I am using samba 2.07-36 on a RedHat 7.1 linux system. I want to share a directory on my Linux system to various Windows operating systems (Windows 95, 98, 2000 etc). In the shares definition section I have: [MyShareDir] comment=My Shared Directoy on my Linux system path= /home/john public = yes writable = yes printable = no create mode = 0664 directory mask = 0775

Hello, I've got a redhat9 system with cups and samba3 installed. I want to use this machine for both local and network printing. On the local side apps can print just fine, the cups configuration is working great. Network-side is not the case. I've got a mixture of 2k and 9x clients, so i'm going to need drivers for both configurations. In smb.conf i've got: printcap name = cups

Hi, we run a RH 9 Server with samba 2.2.8 as a PDC. Win 2K/XP Clients can log in without a problem, logonscripts work fine. Now I'd like to update to Fedoroa Core 1 with Samba 3.0.0. I have read the update chapter of the "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO", but have the simple questions: will the new samba server work "out of the box" with the "old" configuration,

Hi! I'm using Suse 9.0 with cups 1.1.19 and Samba 3.0. I'm trying to share my printer on the network. Testparm runs without errors and I can see my printer in the network neighborhood. So the smb.conf should be fine. But when I try to install the driver with cupsaddsmb I get the following error. zwobot:/usr/sbin # ./cupsaddsmb -U root -a -v Password for root required to access

Hello, I have just started using samba a couple of weeks ago.

hi all, i have samba 3.0 on a fedora-linux running. almost everyting works fine, except one printer, my hp psc 750 (connected via usb) is not printing via samba. I get pages printed (via cups or whatever) if i print from the localhost. So, here a few data from my smb.conf: printcap name = cups printing = cups load printers = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path =
