Hello, I am running a fileserver with smbd here. The server is a 64bit 2.8 GHz Celeron D with 2GB RAM, running 64bit Debian, Samba version 3.0.23c. It is running as a pure fileserver so its only CPU load is serving files. The client I am doing the tests from is WinXP Pro SP2. It is connected via Intel e1000 gbit ethernet (both the server and client use e1000 chipsets). I have done a raw tcp

I upgraded an old Samba 2.x install on Debian that I had at a customer location. Authentication to the PDC was via winbind.

Now I have some really weird Samba problems: I can connect to my share on Samba. I can create a dir, a file,

Here is the bulk of the sanitizing. My residual doubts center around the question whether we still do/want to support (un)compressed *byte*code in 2.0/2.1. I need a definitive word on this to proceed. My understanding is that bytecode is already gone, but there are still some functions/enums that really deal with *byte*code (instead of *bit*code). I did not touch those areas, so the attached

Hi, I've looked through the samba archives, and saw no messages related to this. Is there a way to get smbtar to tar long filenames? When I restore the files, they're all cut down to 8.3 format. smbclient does see the long filenames of an NetBui drive, why doesn't smbtar? Thanks. Gabe
