Prior to upgrading from RH7.0 to RH7.3 our Samba filserver worked perfectly. Now we are having locking problems. Initially Iused the same samba binaries built on RH70, I tried rebuilding Samba and reinstalling but it had no effect. If user bon opens an M$-Office file they frequently get a 'file is already in use by bob'. Sure enough smbstatus -L shows the file locked by bob, but bob

Hi, based on Bart Lagerweij's ( www.nu2.nu ) bootdisk, I've created a small DOS system that users can start by booting from network ( PXE ). The system is configured to map a network drive from a Suse 9.0 Pro / Samba server with various tools on it. The connection is anonymous. Until recently everything worked fine but suddenly there are strange errors: When I try to launch an EXE from

For some reason I'm getting Access denied errors when I try to execute a .bat file that resides on a TRU64 samba share, from a Win95 command prompt. The drive is mapped as x:\ & for the sake of testing, the directory has been recursively set to 777 (chmod). Command prompt output: x:\> x:\r235\src\ntprpst\sharc\mta\src\build_sharc_fta.bat Access denied -

We have a few old DOS programs which, when run under Windows 2000 is a DOS full screen session are unable to write files on our Samba server. These programs (the "brief" editor, and the "tango" CAD package) are able to write to local files on the Windows 2000 system. I set Samba debug to 10 and found the following reported when Tango tried to write a file:

In a directory with approximately 6000 files, several files are missing on the Windows side. If I check the directory on Unix (AIX) they are all there. As far as I can see there's nothing strange with this files en I can't see any connection between the missing files. It looks like it's randomly. A few examples of missing files: FAKTREF.10062005.16 (See debug information)

Hi, What I wanted to do was to export an FUSE based filesystem mounted on linux to a windows box using samba. I can browse and navigate the fuse filesystem without problems on the linux box. With smbd running I can even navigate the filesystem using smbclient. Unfortunately when I try to access the exported file system from WinNT the mountpoint of the filesystem shows up as a zero size file

I really appreciate all your responses on this. I might not have fixed it by looking at samba logs but i noticed there was directory in user unix directory with wildcard * as folder name once i removed it, samba showed up all the files and directory. am not sure what would * as folder name caused this behaviour may be samba was trying to interpret * as something else not sure...... or it was

Ok folks, Here is the deal. I have posted to the news groups several times and gotten not a single thing. I have been trying since march to get 2.2.8a working on sol2.5.1 with winbind to do the authentication but it has failed miserably. Winbindd starts but fails to create the /tmp/.winbindd/pipe file and bombs like a daisycutter. But if I run winbindd like this " truss -aefo /tmp/file

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro.

Hello, I have a samba server which has a directory with 11764 files. (The program stores information about jobs and each job has 3 files, nothing I can do about it). When I do a listing of that directory using smbclient, it takes 15+ seconds to complete, same thing on Windows XP. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can speed this up? I did a log on log level 10, it is accessible at

Greetings all, I have a problem with my Samba server seeming to hang for 10 seconds every 5 minutes or so. Client machines also become sluggish across the entire network during this period.
