similar to: Access Suddenly Cut Off to Samba Shares

I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2. I also have Samba 2.8.8a installed per instructions from Mandrake -- but I do NOT start Samba 2.8.8a automatically. In fact, I don't use it at all. Maybe I should uninstall the Samba 2.8.8a rpm??? I will update to 3.0.1 as soon as an rpm is available from Mandrake. Anyway, I have a problem when I try to add a new share to my smb.conf file. I

Does this problem sound familiar to anybody. On a busy Linux server that exports lots of Samba Shares for video editing, upgrading from Samba 3.0.23d to Samba 3.0.28a has caused a huge problem. After several hours of use, ALL exported Samba Shares suddenly appear to have NO FILES to ALL CONNECTED OS X CLIENTS. Also, it is still possible to log into shares (so to some extent, Samba is still

Does somebody know if the Samba Client in MAC OS X (10.3.4 and 10.3.5) has problems looking at Linux-based Samba shares that are larger than 2 TB? I have Samba 3.0.2 running on my Linux box. I have never had any difficulty with the Mac seeing a 2 TB RAID array on the Linux box, but when the Mac looks at the 4 TB array, it can see all the contents and create folders but it can't create

Hi. I'm running Samba 3.0.2 (a?) on Linux. For the most part, it's working great. I have set up Samba as a PDC and also just as a workgroup server. However, under both scenarios I'm seeing a troublesome behavior with Windows XP machines that have many users who frequently log on and log off. If User A logs off Windows XP and User B logs on 30 or 40 seconds later, sometimes

Hi, Does anybody know why Windows clients can see shares that are defined by the "include=/etc/samba/smb.%U.conf" option in but Mac OS X and Linux Samba clients cannot see those shares? In other words, I have a bunch of users. Each user has a set of his/her own unique shares on my Linux server that are defined in files called: /etc/samba/smb.User1.conf /etc/samba/smb.User2.conf

Hi Samba list. Here is my scenario. I have 10 Windows XP machines that use a Linux box as a file server. Running Mandrake 10 (more or less), 2.6, Samba 3.03. We have hundreds of individual shares defined -- but users only see their own shares (we use the "include=smb.%U.conf" setting in Global settings, and define the shares in individual conf files for each user.) When we use

I have been struggling with SAMBA for about a month now. Wow, as a Windows user it's really infuriating trying to use SAMBA to put a Linux machine in my system. This is clearly the most frustrating aspect of Linux, in my opinion. All I want to do is make my Linux machine behave like any other Windows XP Professional machine in my office (I do confess, one of my employees brings in her

Hi, I am using a mix of Samba 3.0.13 and 3.0.20 on Linux (basically, Mandrake 10 and 10.2). I haven't tested this yet on the 3.0.20 machines, but on the 3.0.13 machines I'm seeing something very disturbing. I have set up a number of shares which are accessible only to members of the group "workers". The shares are set to NOT allow guests even read only access. When

Does anybody have any insight into what could be causing this strange problem? I have Samba 3.02 (sorry, can't upgrade right now). My Linux box is running Mandrake 10 Official. I have Samba configured as a PDC. I can successfully add machines to my Domain -- and log on as ANY user from ANY machine. However on a SINGLE MACHINE, when I log on as USER_1 and access that user's roaming

Hi, I am trying to optimize my gigabit network. I have two Intel 1000 MT Gigabit Server Adapters, which support Jumbo Frames -- as well as a Switch that supports Jumbo Frames. However, I am observing some strange behavior in my file transfers from Windows XP to Linux and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the way the Samba variables are set on my Linux box? The "strange

Dear Support: We have several Solaris 7 computers that need to be able to mount an AppleShare IP server to their filemanagers. Since AppleShare IP support SMB, I think that this is the best way to get these computers talking to each other. To that end, I've tried to use SMB to network the two computers. The Appleshare IP has two NICs connected to two different networks: One is Macintosh

I have a different Samba and Mac OS 10.3 question. I have a small network in my office with a Linux box acting as a file server, mostly Windows XP clients, and a couple of Macs. When I create Samba shares on the Linux box, I have no problem getting my Windows XP users to be able to read and write to the shares. The login name and password on the XP boxes are the same as the corresponding

Hi, Is there a simple way to set up Samba so that users ONLY see the shares that belong to them? I'm not talking about the user's HOME directory. But lets say I have 60 shares in my smb.conf file. To make it less confusing for users when they access the Samba server from Windows, I want the users to ONLY see the shares that belong to them. So, I want to set up each share so that

I think that for resolve your problem, you configure samba for become PDC and connect all WINDOWS XP workstations to domain. ----------------------------------- St?phane PURNELLE stephane.purnelle@corman.be Service Informatique Corman S.A.

Hi. Can anyone tell me if samba has any settings that determine how much data gets cached or buffered in RAM before being written to the computer's hard drives? I'm having a strange problem and I suspect that the explanation has to do with that kind of setting. I am using a Linux system (P4-3.06 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 2.4.22 kernel, samba 2.2.8a) to store video and audio files that can

I have 10 machines in my office. A Linux server. Mostly Windows clients. And a couple of Mac G5s. Can anyone give me an informed opinion about the best way to access a Linux file server from the G5 Macs? They're running the latests OS X 10.3 (Panther). I'm using Mandrake 10 (based on the 2.6.3 kernel with Samba 3.0.2). So far I have only tried using smb/cifs from the Macs. I'm

Hi I can use Appleshare to see my Samba shares when the Mac OS9 and the Samba is in the same segment, but when I move my Mac to another segment separated by a Firewall (all ports open), I can't see my Samba shares? Can anyone help me? Best Regards, Fook Sheng __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com

I've just reconfigured my Samba 3 setup so that Windows users basically only see shares they are supposed to see when they browse the Samba server through Explorer. At the suggestion of others on this list, I used the "include = /etc/samba/smb.%U.conf" feature and create a "smb.username.conf" file for each Linux user. To get Explorer to display the shares assigned to

Do anyone have any experience using 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections with Samba? Specifically, if you have had such an experience, can you share what sorts of optimizations you made to get the maximum data transfer between server and workstation? I am just experimenting with this kind of setup myself and I see a huge GULF between the raw TCP/IP transfers that I can make between two
