I am having a SERIOUS problem with our new 2.2.5 server. In fact I will probably be forced to move to a Windows 2000 Server platform, as the samba server is practically useless. Work on any files on the share cannot be done without major risk of losing data. I get these two errors all day: [2002/09/19 21:04:21, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436) read_data: read failure for 4. Error =

Hi, One of my friends came to me with a problem I've heard of before but haven't found an answer yet. Her situation is a Windows network with a mixture of Win XP and Win 98 computers. There are 4 98 machines of which 2 are giving her, and now me, fits. Seems these 2 loose their drive mappings after about 5 - 10 minutes of idle time. They work fine as long as the user is actively doing

Hi, I have a client with 2 Win98 out of 15 computers that refuse to see the server when they first turn them on in the morning. When they logon as a new user, not a reboot, it connects and they work fine for the rest of the day. They can even reboot whenever they want throughout the day and it works, but when they turn it off over night, the computers refuse to see the domain the next morning.

I have sucessfully got a windows 2K machine to join the domain but I can not get it to run a logon script, map the drive letter to the home directory or create a roaming profile. All my smb.conf setting look correct as per the samples and How To's so I'm stuck! smb.conf is as follows: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = LINUX netbios name = LINUX1 server string = Samba Server

Hi, i not sure whether this is a samba question. but here goes, i sometimes have problems deleting files from the server that has a samba share.it says the files can't be deleted...it seems that the file is being locked...if i have oplocks inserted in the smb.conf file, will it help? is there any way to remove the restriction manually so there's no need to restart the server in order

Hi, We have setup samba share between XP and Redhat 8.0. We usually deal with copying directories with 1000 files over samba share. When we copy, we always find that few files are randomly skipped in copying and one has to copy few times to get all the files. Is this a known problem and is there any fix for this? Thanks. Suresh

I'm attempting to install Abacus Law (v13) under Samba and Linux. Install completes, and I get as far as a single user successfully logged in, but the 2nd user is nothing but trouble. Samba logs show nothing unusual to my semi-trained eye, but locking code or timing is a likely suspect. Technical support is of no help as they haven't tested (and therefore don't support) the

Hi, I've been trying to get the logon script to with in XP. This same logon script works in Win98. I finally discovered that it will work if I change logon drive = to logon drive = z: Now I'm really confused. The Netlogon is path is /home/samba and shared as \\server\netlogon. Z: is mapped as \\server\home\. This means the path to the logon script is Z:\samba\logon.bat Not

Sorry to post a newbie question which may of been asked before but I am struggling to get my head around how to get login scripts to work using samba. I am currently testing Suse Standard Server 8 which comes with Samba 2.2.8a-UL. Using the Suse graphical web interface I can setup users and groups and also setup smb shares. I have told the linux server to act as a PDC. I can't find anywhere

Hi, The login script has worked for our win98 computers since the dawn of time (or there abouts). Then something happened or I did something and the login script doesn't run anymore. I can run it manually. This was version 2.2.3a. I started smbd with -d10 and didn't see any call for a script. Is the login script mentioned in a working system? In an effort to fix this, I deleted and

I'm having a problem with an exclude list and I wanted to run it by the group before I cry "Bug!". Here's the scenario: I'm working on a script to selectively synchronize several directories with those on a server using rsync (version 3.0.5 protocol version 30). I am using the --exclude-from command option, and everything works, except when a directory I am specifying

Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

I hate being stupid. Here is the answer: This won't work: [global] logon script = %U.bat # Win9x needs this This will work: [global] # Win9x needs this logon script = %U.bat The comment has to be on it's own line. Thanks to all for trying to help. Bob Crandell (bob@assuredcomp.com) wrote*: > >Hi, >The login script has worked for our win98 computers

Is there such a thing as a Samba logoff script? I am currently using [NETLOGON] for logon scripts, but for the adding and removing of printers via WSH, I'd prefer to also remove these printers after I log off. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What is the standard procedure for making edits of smb.conf take hold? For example, what I'm seeing is a share that has given R/W access to a user named Tom, when I change Tom to read only, he is still able to write to that share until I stop Samba and restart it. The documentation seems to refer to a 1 minute reread of smb.conf, but I don't

Hi there, Is there someone over there knows a method or script that can copy a large volume of data (in folders) from PCs to a samba server (suppose there is enough space there)? I know using smbclient or smbtar can backup data on PCs to samba server, but it is written in tar files.I wonder whether this method can handle a large folder, say, in 10GB size. Also, using smbclient with mget and
