All, The Windows 2000 client is on my side of the firewall (the error message is: "remote computer is not available"), the Windows XP client is on the other side of the firewall, (the error message is: "The specified network name is no longer available"). I am able to ping both the IP address and server name of the CIFS/Samba server. I cannot perform the mapping, via Map

I am trying a "netstat | grep netbios" and receive nothing back. I tried "netstat | grep 139" and nothing as well. I have the correct netbios ports in /etc/services. Does anyone know to make this show up with a netstat or have those services running? I believe this may be my problem with the mapping of samba shares to the client. Any help would be appreciated, Dan

Folks, A remote admin is trying to add a contractor account to our NT domain with limited rights. Unfortunately, everytime the contractor account is removed from the DomainUsers group, the contractor encounters the following: \\nt-nfs-md\IPC$ and the infamous invalid password. Once the user is re-added to the DomainUsers group, they can access the share fine. My question is what permissions

Is there a way to automatically enable Remote Desktop from a NETLOGON script? I want to enable Remote Desktop on *a lot* of machines, but I don't want to do it manually. -- Andrew Gaffney

There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd,

I have a network of 2K and XP clients that I am migrating to a domain using Samba 3 as a PDC. I have the domain working quite well after quite a bit of tweaking. My problem is that I want people to logon to the domain, but I also want them to keep their profiles from their local users. How can I go about this? -- Andrew Gaffney

In the samba domain I admin, one of the computers runs the Peachtree accounting software. Today, McAfee antivirus was installed on that box (not my doing) and now Peachtree keeps giving "Locking table limit reached" errors. Is this an error from samba, Windows, or Peachtree? Is there a limit to the number of file locks samba can grant at one time? -- Andrew Gaffney Network

While this doesn't relate specifically to Samba, I need to do this in a netlogon .bat file in a Samba domain. In my network, I have a printer hooked to a JetDirect so that it is a TCP/IP printer. Is there a way I can automatically have this printer mapped/added when the user is logged on? -- Andrew Gaffney

I don't know the final answer BUT if you have something simmilar to a cyber-cafe LAN (I mean, users use all the computers, and maybe some users come back to login with the same name) then you have to install a printer only once in a computer, loging as the administrator and installing drivers. Then what users will have to do is JUST add the printer without installing. I know that it's

I need to know what the command would be to map an HPUX directory to a Windows shared directory. I am running Samba 3.0.7 on HPUX 11i and have Windows Server 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tony Gardner UNIX Contractor Haas Automation, Inc.

I already have an existing network that is managed by a samba PDC. In the next few days, I will be linking another small LAN to the existing one over the internet using openvpn. I've been told that samba (through no fault of its own) doesn't work very well through a VPN. For the new network, there will be a box with 2 NICs: one for the internet and one for the LAN. This box will use

Can anyone point me to a doc or a script that shows how to generate netlogon script on the fly and supports users having multiple groups? I tried the Perl script referenced at <http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/AdvancedNetworkManagement.html> but I believe it only supports the user being a member of one group. -- Andrew Gaffney

One last windows/linux question... We have an exchange server, only accessible by the exchange protocols. I.E. no pop, no Imap, and no web. What can I use Linux side to connect to this? (here's my attempt, to be the only one on the network NOT to use windows) J

I have a samba 2.2.4 PDC which acts as the repository of roaming profiles. Just recently some of our users have experienced failure to load roaming profiles. The clients are on a pair of Windows 2000 terminal servers. The failure does not seem to be confined to one server and only affects some people. The error given takes place during the loading profile stage: Windows can not copy: \\Samba

We have a strange problem when using samba 3.0.7 where a printer's name is changed to the name of the printer driver. We use samba to share out printers from a fedora core 1 system. On a windows client they initially show up accurately. When adding the windows driver from a windows client for a new shared printer the driver files get transferred just fine. However, the printer name in the

Has anyone had any luck with lmhosts. I'm trying to avoid using the -I 192.168.1.10 to identify a Win95 machine when using smbmount Is there an option I need to set in Samba to tell it to use /etc/lmhosts?

I'm currently running Samba 2.2.8a as a NT-style domain server. I have a few different questions regarding this setup. First, how can I add samba users to groups so that I can specify 'DOMAIN\Group' in the permissions for a particular share on an XP machine attached to the domain? Also, how can I set account types other than admin and not-admin for use when logging in under
