Hi, I just installed 2 Win2K sp4 workstations on an otherwise working Samba 2.2.8a network and 2 of the 3 printers are showing "Access denied". What's up with that? The other computers that are working just fine are Win98, XP and Win2K NOT sp4. Here is part of the global section: printing = bsd load printers = yes disable spoolss = yes printcap name

Hi, I have a client with 2 Win98 out of 15 computers that refuse to see the server when they first turn them on in the morning. When they logon as a new user, not a reboot, it connects and they work fine for the rest of the day. They can even reboot whenever they want throughout the day and it works, but when they turn it off over night, the computers refuse to see the domain the next morning.

Is there such a thing as a Samba logoff script? I am currently using [NETLOGON] for logon scripts, but for the adding and removing of printers via WSH, I'd prefer to also remove these printers after I log off. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/

Sorry to post a newbie question which may of been asked before but I am struggling to get my head around how to get login scripts to work using samba. I am currently testing Suse Standard Server 8 which comes with Samba 2.2.8a-UL. Using the Suse graphical web interface I can setup users and groups and also setup smb shares. I have told the linux server to act as a PDC. I can't find anywhere

Hi, Every once in awhile the subject of faxing through Samba comes up and there are some really interesting solutions offered. Here we go again. My question is more related to hardware. What modems are the successful Samba faxers using these days? Though to software works fine, the hardware leaves a something to be desired. Thanks. -- Bob Crandell Assured Computing When you need to be sure.

Hi, The login script has worked for our win98 computers since the dawn of time (or there abouts). Then something happened or I did something and the login script doesn't run anymore. I can run it manually. This was version 2.2.3a. I started smbd with -d10 and didn't see any call for a script. Is the login script mentioned in a working system? In an effort to fix this, I deleted and

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 What is the standard procedure for making edits of smb.conf take hold? For example, what I'm seeing is a share that has given R/W access to a user named Tom, when I change Tom to read only, he is still able to write to that share until I stop Samba and restart it. The documentation seems to refer to a 1 minute reread of smb.conf, but I don't

Hello. I have setup a local network where Windows 98 workstations authenticates against a samba server PDC running on linux, and it is working. But there is a little annoyance: Windows 98 is handling 2 passwords: 1) the network password (used with the samba PDC) 2) the windows password (used with the Windows desktop) Windows users can change their passwords from the workstation, but the

Hi, I've been trying to get the logon script to with in XP. This same logon script works in Win98. I finally discovered that it will work if I change logon drive = to logon drive = z: Now I'm really confused. The Netlogon is path is /home/samba and shared as \\server\netlogon. Z: is mapped as \\server\home\. This means the path to the logon script is Z:\samba\logon.bat Not

Hi, I have Samba version 2.2.7 up and running as a PDC for several Windows 2000/XP clients, as well as file sharing working. However, when I try to use it as a Win9X logon server, I can not seem to make it work. Whenever I try to logon from the Win98 computer, I get the error message "Incorrect Parameter" (in windows) and get the following message in the nmbd.log file: =-=-=

I hate being stupid. Here is the answer: This won't work: [global] logon script = %U.bat # Win9x needs this This will work: [global] # Win9x needs this logon script = %U.bat The comment has to be on it's own line.

Hi there, Is there someone over there knows a method or script that can copy a large volume of data (in folders) from PCs to a samba server (suppose there is enough space there)? I know using smbclient or smbtar can backup data on PCs to samba server, but it is written in tar files.I wonder whether this method can handle a large folder, say, in 10GB size. Also, using smbclient with mget and

Hello. I use Linux 2.0.30(Red Hat) and Samba 1.9.16p. Clients are Win95, NT Workstations and Servers. I use Linux like printserver and bridge. And I have problem with my printer HP LaserJet 4MV with JetDirect card. It print 1 test page( or another 1 page) and print after it second page: User: root Host: LINUX Class: LINUX

I have the problem of needing to hide some directories from the browse list (Win98 clients) of some users (total of about 250). I am expecting to create behaviour similar to the home directory where only the home owner can see it. I would like to make some shares visible only to users in a certain Unix group. I have a share 'Automation' with a sub-directory structure and I use Unix

G'day, I have installed Slackware 9 several times. On each occasion the samba install defaults ot /etc/samba/private for smbpasswd etc. This is what I expect. I have just completed an install that took forever as I couldn't understand why testparm said the smb.conf was fine, but on starting smbd and nmbd both would start but smbd would die straight away. It appears it wanted

All of our user authentication is done via LDAP. We have an all Linux backend and tons of windows desktops. We've just started getting a few people to move to Linux on the desktop. Is there any way that I can have their home directory automatically mounted via Samba when they log in? Thanks, Jason Joines Open Source = Open Mind ========================

All, As some of have no doubt found out, scripting is subtly different on 95/98 machines and NT machines. I have a logon script called by: logon script = xxxx\main.bat %G %U that works great for NT boxen. However it does absolutely nothing, no execution of main.bat at all for a W98 client. If I remove the parameters so it is: logon script = xxxx\main.bat it executes on the W98 box,

Hi, I have 2 clients that have expressed an interest in switching some users to Linux workstations as a test to see if they can avoid paying some of the Micro$oft tax. They will be sharing Word and Excel data. I'll be installing OpenOffice to begin with. Maybe they might be interested in Gnumeric later. My question is how to tell either Linux or Samba or both to allow any user to
