Sirs, I hate to clutter your email with this inquiry, but I haven't been able to get info otherwise. I want to mount shares on an Microsoft XP Pro server on two Suns, Sparc running Solaris 2.6 and another Sparc running Solaris 8. What do I need for this?? I downloaded the Samba software from sunfreeware.com but it seemed to just allow the XP to mount the Sun shares. I hope you can help

Hallo Leute, ich m?chte gerne die Samba Doku ins deutsch ?bersetzen. Ich arbeite schon lange mit Samba und denke es w?re kein ?berm?ssiger Aufwand. Da ich Samba aber meist als Pdc benutze bin ich mit einigen Features technisch nicht so vertraut. ( samba und ldap an einem win server etc ) Ich w?rde mich freuen wenn einige Deutsche mitmachen w?rden damit wir uns technisch und gramatikalisch

Unfortunately, it got cut short very quickly because I am not able to log into the domain from the XP client. I took the following steps (I'm using Samba 3.0): - modified my smb.conf as per instructions in O'Reilly Using Samba, 2nd Ed. (I think this may be part

On a recommendation from this list I checked the junklog file, the output from which I attached below. It looks as if it does not even see the linux machine as it indicates not seeing "explorer" which is the local netbios name. The Win XP machine does not even show in the log. Here is the last entry for nmbd.log: ***** [2003/11/21 06:24:58, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:terminate(54) Got SIGTERM:

Hi! Our Samba file server seems to have a memory leakage. We are using samba as file server out of the box (debian sarge) on kernel 2.6.16.31.

Oh Wise Ones, For the past two days, I have contested with the Samba documentation and other sources of lore in a vain attempt to achieve Samba/LDAP integration. My test system is running RedHat 9 with updates applied, along with OpenLDAP & OpenSSL from redhat-rawhide, and the Samba 3.0.1pre1 RPM from the Samba website. A couple of questions: The HOWTOs instruct one to slapadd a file
