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.

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! 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

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

Hey, I'm trying to use the mysql plugin with Samba 3.0.2 and am running into problems with the password storing aspect of the equation. Specifically, here is how I have the smb.conf file setup: [global] workgroup = SRS netbios name = DustPuppy passdb backend = mysql:mysql mysql:mysql host = localhost mysql:mysql user = samba

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

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

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

Hmm, gues i missed something... i updated to samba 304, and i had a print script (print command = <script>) but it's not executed annymore ?? i do use cups to get the papers roling...! i did saw some info in the man, saying, that samba compiled against libcups, is not using the print command annymore ?? Huh.. why ?? is there a way to use my cups printer daemon, and the print command ?

Hallo Samba experts out there, I do have a very strange problem with Samba 3.0.4-1.12 on SuSE 9.1 (kernel 2.6.5-7.75-smp) Samba is configured as a PDC and WINS server. DNS (bind 9) also works correctly on the linux box (acting as a forwarder to the ISP's DNS servers) - foward and reverse lookups work flawlessly from the box and from XP clients. When browsing the network neigbourhood from XP

Ehmmm, i would like to make some sugestions for the new samba release.. the "hide files =" in the smb.conf is a [global] parameter, wouldn't it be nice to make this a [section] parameter... (incase you have some hidden files/dirs in 1 share and in an other the same file/dir names, witch should not be hidden) and second, please please please make an option in pdbedit so that U can
