Hi . I've got a LAN containing a linux SuSE server(domain server), and some few windows machines(workstations).

I've tried to read man pages and adjusted the smb.conf file so as to eliminate the files begining with dot (.) being viewed on the workstations but all in vain.

Hi, i have a big problem with my samba installation. After a few days of work the samba crashed and it won't be able to login into the console. The only way is to reboot the machine.

Hi, I have an existing Samba network consisting of a SAMBA PDC with win98 and XP clients (there is also some linux machines on the network connecting via NIS/NFS. Everything is running nicely.

Hi there, I ran 2 years a perfect samba 2.2.12 on a suse 8 machine, acting as a pdc with w2k-clients. Printing was done with raw-printing over smb to cups (client-side drivers). The old dns-name was "server.localnet", the netbios-name "server". After changing my internal dns-system to "*.example" there is no access to my printer (hp photosmart 1000)

Hello list, I sent this about two weeks ago, but I didn't get an answer... so I'm pushing my luck. :-) QUESTION#1: What EXACLTLY causes the HOMEDRIVE, HOMEPATH, and HOMESHARE variables? Something passed from Samab to the client, or some thing the client does? QUESTION#2: How/what/where/why is there a difference in the results of click on "Command Prompt"? My Setup... I'm

HI All. We've been having some problems the past couple days with one of our Samba Servers. We currently have it running two instances. One instance is using local auth (historical) the other instances is using our newish domain for authentication.

Hi, I've got a few samba server in my network, but one of them is "invisible". I cannot do a nmblookup on it (even from the server itself), but I cannot telnet the port 137, thus it should not be a problem of firewall. From windows xp machines, I can connect specifying the IP address, while from win98 machines I cannot (I got an error like network name does not exist). The

I am currently trying to integrate a Samba v2.2.5 server into an NT domain. I have already succeeded to join the server into the domain and have authentication working (security = DOMAIN), but when I'm trying to access it from a Win98 client, it sometimes says "network name not found", although the server is visible in the "network neighbourhood".
