similar to: Permission Mangling while migrating W2k fileserver to samba

Hi, I'm cross-posting here from serverfault.com in case anyone can help. I just found a similar question on askubuntu.com also without an answer. Switched recently from W2K3 to Samba4.0.9/CentOS6.4 for our fileshare for WinXP clients. Have an ancient (1995!) piece of software that uses 8.3 filename format. After the switch, long filenames became useless in the context of the

In other people's environments or test situations, what kind of scalability do you see with winbind? How many aggressive users can be supported? Using: Suse SLES 8 for ibm iSeries Samba authentication with winbind against win2k active directory. at the moment, a 100 FD network connection 3 windows DC's to authenticate against.

We are planning to build an HA cluster of samba servers, using winbind to authenticate against an Active Directory domain. The problem I see with this, is that the Winbind uid mappings will not necessarily be the same on both nodes in the HA cluster. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the winbind uid and gid mappings to match on 2 separate servers? Alex Laslavic Havertys Tech

A problem has arisen with the way samba handles file creation dates compared to NT/win2k, which prevents xcopy /d from working correctly. On NT/Win2k, files copied from another NT machine using xcopy end up with the modified dates equal to the original modified date of the file, and the created and accessed dates become the date of the xcopy operation. On Samba, files copied from an NT

I had a simular problem in a single server (unix) environment with PC clients although we were using NFS stack for drive maps. The issue is came down to this: a MS-DOS pathspec cannot exceed 64 characters, with the pathspec looking something like 'server_name:\directory\dir...\...\filename.ext". Your NT and Samba systems are probably selected a SMB protocol like Core Plus or LAN Man 1.0,

Right in the middle of a big XCopy from Win2K SP3 to Samba 3.0.8 I get an "Access Denied" kicked back from XCopy and it ends. XCopy is building dirs from scratch on the Samba server - starting for a clean empty share. XFS FS on the server, Debian Sarge. I've heard of odd things with RoboCopy, but what about XCopy doing this? I suppose I will be cranking up the logs... or is there

Hi I had sent a mail about a week ago regarding a xcopy problem I had. I am trying to copy an image of an nt workstation from an unixware 2.1.3 server running samba 1.9.18p8. Initially the client is a dos client, who connects to the unixware server and downloads files using xcopy. My problem after copying a certain number of files xcopy fails with path not found. On further investigation I

Hi, I appologise if this totally irritates people as there seems to be quite a lot of info about this issue but a lot of it is quite old, for samba 2.x and kernels around 2.0 also. I have been beating my head against it for a little while - bumped into a dead end now ;( I am running centos-3 x86_64 (RH ES equiv) with samba 3.0.7-1 as the server, and OS2 as the client. Kernel is 2.4.21-20.EL.

I'm trying to do some quick backups from a Win2K laptop to a Fedora Core 1 desktop but it ain't working. The backups are just a bunch of xcopy's. Most of them run fine but two fail and I don't understand why. It appears that xcopy is attempting to create directories in both cases. When I run the backup targeting a Win98 desktop there is no problem. Here are two examples of

This is release 0.9.34 of Wine, a free implementation of Windows on Unix. What's new in this release: - Support for Xcursor. - A range of fixes for various installers. - New builtin xcopy tool. - The usual assortment of Direct3D fixes. - Lots of bug fixes. Because of lags created by using mirrors, this message may reach you before the release is available at the public sites. The

We use MS DOS 7 ala Win98 SE and the M$ client for DOS to logon to Samba 3.0.13 Debian Stable package from samba.org. Also one other unique thing, we have XCOPY32.EXE copied as XCOPY.EXE thus it is really XCOPY32.EXE we are executing, just as XCOPY.EXE. ;-) Example of failing line of code... echo f|xcopy u:\foo\bar.txt h:\file.txt where U: is the drive mapped to the server and H: is a local RAM

Hi All I have a Linksys NSLU2 device which is used to hook USB2 drives upto my network as network attached storage. The Linksys firmware upgrade for this device includes samba 3.0.11 which is a non-starter regarding OS/2 connectivity.

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me out or just point me in the correct directions as to what I am doing wrong. I have Samba 2.2.3a installed and configured with winbind for domain authentication using an ext3 file system with ACL support. It is working great! Thanks Samba Team! The problem that I am experiencing is I would like to use an application like "xcopy" to propagate the

Hi! I've been using samba for some time now with about 20 users and with remote installation of Windows XP from dos (TFTPboot image with dos network drivers - ms client 1.6c). On all releases (up to, and including 2.2.5) a recursive xcopy (from dos) copied all files normally. When I upgraded to samba 2.2.6, the recursive xcopy (win98 version of xcopy.exe, copying from a mapped drive)

Hi all, I'm trying to use xcopy /o to copy files from a W2k file server to a Samba 2.2.7 box (Samba manually compiled with ACLs). I'm coming up with Access Denied, as documented here: http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-June/074548.html I gather that the "force unknown acl users" config option is supposed to fix that, although I haven't had a chance to try it out

Hi I'm trying to keep a windows folder synchronized with a samba share using "xcopy /d" ,but it keeps copying again and again a number of files at random that haven't been modified. With a search over internet, I found that this is a pretty old problem, because I managed to find messages from other users that had the same problem, but unfortunatly no solution. Even upgrating to
