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.

Hi Samba gurus, I need your help for the problem of denying the change of the print driver settings on samba. I have no any clue of this problem. Thanks for any comments and tips. Our institution has a windows 2000 active directory domain; I joined my test samba 2.2.6 on a Linux box into domain as the file/print member server. All the file sharing worked fine, but when I tried to upload

Good day! I am running Samba3 on a Mandrake 9.1 box. Right now, I have "security = user", but am not using any password authentication yet. I have 95 and 98 computers that can reach the shares available and print to the installed printer, and even a Windows 2000 user can do all of this. However, an XP computer I have can't go there. I double-click "DRAKEJAX" (the

Hi, I added these lines to smb.conf: kernel op locks = false op locks = false strict locking = true so I could see some locks from the unix level. It worked sorta, I see the locks for big files (but not the locks I was expecting), but for little files it shows nothing: # ./lock_list /opt/testsambashare/mattest.doc # ./lock_list /opt/testsambashare/contents.doc 0 22086 W

I have an ubuntu 8.10 server that is authenticating against active directory (Win2k3) and acting as a fileserver. I used likewise open to setup the AD authentication. If a user creates a file in a directory that he doesn't own, he can modify the contents of the file, but not delete or rename it. The group permissions should allow the user to do this. If the user owns the directory,

Every day I get emailed Logwatch reports with several entries of the following type. I've tried googling for these entries and found nothing that indicats if these represent any particular problem. We did not have these messages before and nothing really changed other than some RedHat updates. The system generally runs fine (~170 users) with only the occasional authentication glitch.

Hi list, i've upgraded Samba 3.0.14a to 3.0.20b (debian package) and ran into following problem: I cannot change the file-attribute (read-only, hidden, archive) from a file via the windows explorer as an ordinary user. The error "access denied" occurs. The file has following permissions on Unix: -rwxrw---- 1 root Massen 0 2005-10-28 08:17 Neu Textdatei.txt The user is

Okay, I know this has come up before and before being chastised I spent a couple hours reviewing the archives and could find the messages on it. I have a user who when he attempts to save a MS Word Document (test file.doc) to a samba share gets the following error: Word cannot complete the save due to file permission error. (I:\samba\directory\test file. Doc) The user is the owner of the

Tomorrow morning my Central Europe will try to steal an hour of daylight by adding an extra hour at 2 am. This event will reintroduce an old but trivial show-stopper for the broader use of Samba. Microsoft has, perhaps intentionally, redefined the summer/winter time reckoning and just acknowledged in a KB article that, yes, MS Windows don't show the correct time, but they show the wrong

Hello Guys, I'm having a very strange problem with my file server ( latest samba RPM from redhat ) [root@krusty secundarias]# rpm -qa | grep samba samba-client-2.0.10-2 samba-2.0.10-2 samba-common-2.0.10-2 [root@krusty samba]# uname -r 2.2.19 One of our machines ( NT4 workstation with SP6a ) is saving files on a share that becames unacessible for all users. After some research on

I am seeing a really odd problem with Rsync 2.6.2 and 2.6.3. I am trying to rsync a directory containing some 2gb files from a Solaris 9 NFS server to a Solaris 10b69 NFS client. Rsync is running on the Solaris 10 client. Here is the source directory as seen from the client: Source directory: -rwxr--r-- 1 root priv 1270666114 Jan 3 2004 FLY.GHO* -rwxr--r-- 1 root priv

Hi, I'm seeing a weird problem with rsync 2.6.9 protocol version 29 on Debian Sarge. When copying a file from one location to another between two Debian boxes, if destination includes a file with same size and name, rsync fails to see that they are not exactly the same file. The situation originates from copying a file to a place which is periodically rsynced onwards, and the rsync

I have browsed through loads of archive material and cant seem to find anywhere where this exact issue has been posted. am using samba 2.28 set up as an NT domain, there are no problems with the general configuration. My issue is witb samba not following the permissons I have set on files in a shared directory. Purpose: set up a directory for students and teachers where students can leave files

A user is attempting to use Windows Powershell get-childitem command to copy files from one SMB directory to another. ***************** Get-ChildItem -Path "W:\z_TestFiles\source1" -Recurse -File | ForEach-Object { Copy-Item -Path $_.FullName -Destination "X:\dest1" } ***************** When the command is run it creates the files as 0 byte files and then errors.

When users create a file on this share, the files are created with permission's equal to 764 (rwxrw-r--). I want the permission's to be 760 (rwxrw----). How can I accomplish this for this share? Here is my .conf for the global and this share. My version of SAMBA is 3.0.20b-3 on openSUSE 10: Thanks in advance, Mike # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SCMC

Hello all, We're having some odd issues with samba and MS Word (And presumable the rest of the office suite, but I haven't checked) running on NT 4.0 sp3. MS Word doesn't seem to obey the umask settings: create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 When a new word document is created, it is given -rwxrw-r-instead of the -rwxrwxr-x I'm expecting. I'm not sure whats happening

Hi Vincent, have you found a solution that makes "force directory mode = 2770" able to apply to new created folders ? I have a similar problem: if I set by hand (eg. chmod 2770) the folder A and then I try to create an X element into that folder through samba I get the result needed ( group of X become overriden from parent folder A ) but the problem is that the new element X not
