similar to: mapping network drives with XP

I have a samba server setup sharing a bunch of files across the company network. Everyone has the relevant samba shares mapped to drive letters on their computer on startup. All generally works great. HOWEVER if you dig deep enough there seems to be some weirdness. As long as you use the drive letter or a folder link from the DFS to navigate to the shares then all is good. If you type in the

Dear Samba List, My Windows XP machine is unable to reconnect my Linux samba network drive when I login. I installed: Win2000_PlainPassword.reg which allows me to connect manually, but it is a requirement that this be automatic on each login. Has anyone found a way to achieve this? Thanks, Dick

Hi All I have a problem running a logon script to map network drives based on Group Membership. The script is a VBScript that resides in the netlogon share. It Works just fine when the logged in user is a Domain Admin but fails to get the Group information when logged in as a regular user. For example when I login as administrator who is a member of every Group (For test only all the requested

Hi I am running a RH9 box in a w2k domain. I have installed winbind on the RH9 box joined it to the domain successfully. Domain users can login with their accounts.

Hello. New to SAMBA.(2.2.8 on RH9) Mixed environment of 98 & (trying) XP. My "net use s: /home" command works wonderfully for XP and 98. But XP throws in an "extra" "more home-than-home" directory - namely \username\.win_profile on the Z drive. I've tried disconnecting it with: net use Z: /delete, but XP claims to have a process running on it (even after 10

** High Priority ** I have SAMBA on a Unix server. I have 8 pc's running Win 2000. All of these work properly. Mapping a drive to the unix server is no problem. I got a new pc in, and I can not get it to map to the unix. I get the error message : The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred.....The account is not authorized t log in from this

Hi, I have a very strange problem with a new Windows XP Professional x64 client machine which will either hang or BSOD when I manipulate (move, copy, compress) a file on a mapped network drive BUT not when I navigate to the file through My Network Places i.e. selecting WORKGROUP -> FILESERVER -> Share2 -> Directory -> File. I have a mix of Windows PCs on my network including Win2K,

I submitted a request 2 days ago about having problems mapping one share out of 70. I have found the fix, but I would like to have an answer as to why the problem occurred. History: We have about 70 shares mapped with Samba, using winbindd for authentication. We had about 10 users that could not map their shares. They would get an error of: could not chdir to the appropriate directory on the

I'm trying to configure rsync snapshots as described at http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/. I'm essentially using the following commands: mv backup.3 backup.tmp mv backup.2 backup.3 mv backup.1 backup.2 mv backup.0 backup.1 mv backup.tmp backup.0 cp -al backup.1 backup.0 rsync -a --delete source_directory/ backup.0/ I'm trying to backup two directories in a

Hello All, I've been discovering the joys of Samba/ADS integration here (the environment is a chip design concern that has chip simulation tools, many of which run in Linux, but some of which only run in Windows. Winbind, and a Linux based NAS server are the cornerstone through which Windows and Linux elements of the toolchain will be able to seamlessly communicate, once we get all the

I have an XP home (falcon) and an XP pro (tatooine) machine, both behind a rh9 box (hoth) acting as firewall. I've been trying to get samba set up on the linux box. I think I have it mostly working except that the XP boxes won't list hoth under "My Network Places - Microsoft Windows Network - MSHOME", and I cannot access hoth by name at all from the XP-pro box (by IP, I can

I have installed RH9 and Samba on two PCs. One is working fine but other has some problem with Samba. Could somebody help ? I am new to Linux and don't know what is going on. Here is the symptom. I have three PCs on a same workgroup. A (win2k), B(RH9) and C(RH9). Samba service is installed on both B and C. I shared "home/share" directory on both B and C. >From

Bon app?tit ? tous, I have a small problem regarding delegation of domain administrator rights to a 'normal' user (eg. not root or uid!=0). I maybe fooled myself believing it is possible in Samba3, reading Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#WKURIDS, that a user could be also a domain admin. I've created group mappings (with good RIDs) for main groups (eg. SID-512, SID-513, SID-514,

After doing a lot of reading and search this lists' archieve I'm stuck! I'm trying to run a seemingly simply rsync from my RH9 box to an XP desktop. I have rsync 2.5.7 on the RH9 and rsync 2.6.0 on XP with Cygwin. ssh is working using key authentication. Anonymous rsync to XP works from RH9. I'm trying to get the rsync to run over ssh. Here's what I've tried.

Dear fellows, I'm getting blue screen on XP while populating SQLite database, using RStudio and RQLite package. The blue screen says "INVALID PROCESS ATTACH ATTEMPT" before goes into memory check and reboot. The database (file) is corrupted and not readable after this happens. I'm iterating over CSV files, each contans a time-series of as many as 500x5000: rows being dates,

Doesn't really resolve the issue, but in my case the problem went away when using physical machines rather than virtual machines. The environments are identical - RH ES 3.0 with Windows XP sp1a client (no hotfixes or GPO settings applied). Thanks for everyone's help.

Everything seems to be working ok (see shares, browse etc) except I cannot add a machine to the domain.

Got a bit of an odd one folks.... I have a samba 2.3 server running on a Caldera Openlinux 2.3 box, it works great except for one thing that I am not sure whether is the issue of the application or a Samba one. It appears to be an application issue, but I can't help thinking there may be some other factor(s) involved here. On one of the client machines (win98) they are running Wordperfect
