Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible. My config is: --- [global] debuglevel = 10 netbios name = SAMBAII workgroup = XAMBA security = user domain logons = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes

Hello list, I am trying to get a DFS share to work here, linking to a few Windows 2000, XP and NT machines. Using Samba 3.0.6 on Debian. I followed the instructions in chapter 17 of the official HOWTO collections and set it up like this: [global] ... netbios name = fileserver host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /home/data/shares/postdfs valid users = @post force group = +post read only = No force

Hi, I'm trying to set up msdfs on FreeBSD 4.10 with samba 3.08. The clients I use are WinXp (sp1) and the desktop browser on RedHat ES3. Problems described beneath are identical for both clients. I tried to follow the howto as precisely as possible to not into problems, however, I did... In /export/dfsroot I made a link msdfs:strsvr01\part0 . I made sure everything is in lower case.

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

Is anyone else experiencing problems with offline files and folders on Win 2K (SP4)? They are set up OK but when the Win2K machine goes off line and files are modified it won't sync back when back on the network. Error message from the file sync on windows is 'Access denied' (on the server) But I can easily do the overwrite manually so permissions are OK. Below is the log (level 10)

Hi, This is the first time I've posted, and I apologize if I formulate this incorrectly. I am analyzing data from a multi-region carrot variety trial. 35 varieties of carrots were grown in 3 randomized complete blocks in organic and conventional fields in Wisconsin, Indiana, Washington, and California. In this example I am comparing the heights of the carrot tops at harvest. In other

Hello I've got some strange problems with Samba-3.0.4. When using roaming profiles, keyboard layout is set to english (instead of norwegian) and a lot of programs wont load correctly. Setting log level = 3 revealed a lot of errors after the netlogon-script had executed (and all shares correctly set up). I switched to log level = 10 to get a more detailed view of these errors (show below).

I'm still having some problems with 1.9.18p10 on a DEC Unix 4.0e machine (this machine was upgraded from 4.0d last week). The smbds can take up to 20% of the cpu at various times. Anyways, I've been through all this before with the mailing list and a number of people who have attempted to help me out. Thanks to all of you. But, I have some more info which may or may not be useful.

Hi, we have a strange samba locking problem with version 3.0. Sometimes user only get a read only access to files. This happens with different users on different clients. Unix permissions are OK.

I really appreciate all your responses on this. I might not have fixed it by looking at samba logs but i noticed there was directory in user unix directory with wildcard * as folder name once i removed it, samba showed up all the files and directory. am not sure what would * as folder name caused this behaviour may be samba was trying to interpret * as something else not sure...... or it was

Hi, I have very strange problem: I had created logon script (bat file dynamically generated by root peexec) and tested it successfully on Win98 workstation. Now I'm testing it on XP wkst., but the same (created by the same method) script is during logon not executed. What is absolutely mysterious for me ? The script is really read by workstation durin logon - I saw it in network traffic

Hi, First of all, thx for fast answering. > I hope that the above commands are really right, because you said folder_a but the name of the folder is "folderA". Sorry, the commands are right :) > The all other things include the groupmaps? What do you mean... when i uses the command "./net groupmap list", i get the following back

What u wrote here: >>once again this folder stdc++.txt does exist.... ...reminds me on having charset problems with samba, doing the same stuff here until I set up the right charsets.

Hello again, I would like to thank Giant Wang and Miquel Bonastre for their responses to my query in "Samba Digest 1734" regarding simultaneous passwd changing for users via Samba. Their comments were helpful, but have not solved the problem. For those who do not have a back log of the Digests, the problem is that with unix password sync=yes, users are not able to change their own

Hello, I have a samba server which has a directory with 11764 files. (The program stores information about jobs and each job has 3 files, nothing I can do about it). When I do a listing of that directory using smbclient, it takes 15+ seconds to complete, same thing on Windows XP. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can speed this up? I did a log on log level 10, it is accessible at

Hi, I'm trying to create a map of DFS links to actual server/share's. I know that you can get this information by logging on to the DFS root server, but I'm trying to use the libsmbclient API to get this information. I have created a fairly simple DFS structure on 2003 servers with everything on the same domain. //MyDomain/DFSRoot /Link1 -> //Fileserv-1/FileShare1 /Link2
