Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

I'm running samba-3.0.2-7.FC1 on a Fedora Core 1 box. I see this error message in the log file for each user on my network; [2004/03/26 10:55:35, 0] rpc_server/srv_util.c:get_domain_user_groups(372) get_domain_user_groups: primary gid of user [glen] is not a Domain group ! get_domain_user_groups: You should fix it, NT doesn't like that What does it mean?

just noticed the following problem.. after running samba 302rc1(as pdc) for a few day's. old SMBD pid's are left in the procces tree.. eating memory and cpu time, causing linux to overload and not function annymore. after stopping samba, the smbd pid's will stay. stopping samba the 2nd time will do the trick, they finaly disapear... so you have to stop samba twice.. ?? don't

Hello everybody! Obviously Samba as a PDC and Fileserver for w2k clients is not as easy as I first thought. Soon after setup and integration in a network a problem with the shares and MS Word appeared. Any time a file is opened with M$ Word directly from a share and edited it can't be saved. The M$ user gets the msg that the file is write-protected and on the samba side the file

Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected

Hello everybody, Is it possible to use ACL with Samba 2.0.7 ? Thanks

We recently converted our Redhat9 Samba server to Debian Sarge/testing. We are running (3.0.2a-Debian). After installing Debian, I itegrated the old configuration files (smb.conf, smbpasswd, smbusers, secrets.tdb) making changes where I thought it was necessary. When I tried to login to our Windows 2000 server using rdesktopl, windows tells me that I've specified the incorrect username or

Hi, I'm running Samba printing services to share a printer on my Linux box with a network of windows machines. Everything works great. The only problem I am having is that I cannot count the number of pages printed by each user.

I have been using Samba as a print server successfully for quite some time. I have one issue that I can't seem to solve. We use a crappy piece of accounting software that requires the printer be set up with spool settings as: Start printing after last page is spooled. If start printing immediately is set, the checks do not print correctly. On a Windows computer, if I go to

Does anyone know of a way to log when a user logs off using Samba as a PDC. I have Samba 3.0.2a and can log log-ons using root preexec on a share all users mount, however I do not know of a way to log log-offs. We need this data for record keeping purposes. We don't use roaming profiles, so using root postexec is not an option as shares disconnect when not in use. Thanks for any help,

ehh, just a little remark/note for the mysql passwd backend users and developers... when adding a user, the 'account desc' field is NOT filled in..! when adding some text manualy, and doing pdbedit -v <user> the field showes up, so when reading from the passwdbackend, the fields are resolved, when writting too the passwdbackend , the description field (and maybe more important

Hi, I have a few users that are creating errors like below. These users have mapped a directory via Samba and also have it connected. They can access their home directory or other directory via Samba fine, but it is strange that every hour on the hour there is a failure put into the log (even though they are working). My server is joined to the Domain and it is using
