There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd,

In the samba domain I admin, one of the computers runs the Peachtree accounting software. Today, McAfee antivirus was installed on that box (not my doing) and now Peachtree keeps giving "Locking table limit reached" errors. Is this an error from samba, Windows, or Peachtree? Is there a limit to the number of file locks samba can grant at one time? -- Andrew Gaffney Network

I don't know the final answer BUT if you have something simmilar to a cyber-cafe LAN (I mean, users use all the computers, and maybe some users come back to login with the same name) then you have to install a printer only once in a computer, loging as the administrator and installing drivers. Then what users will have to do is JUST add the printer without installing. I know that it's

We have a strange problem when using samba 3.0.7 where a printer's name is changed to the name of the printer driver. We use samba to share out printers from a fedora core 1 system. On a windows client they initially show up accurately. When adding the windows driver from a windows client for a new shared printer the driver files get transferred just fine. However, the printer name in the

Can somebody tell me how to apply the 3.0.1 patch of samba??? I'm running samba 3.0.0. Cheers Rafael

There is an inordinate amount of spam going to the Samba list lately. Is there anything that can be done about that? -Brent

How long am I still going to wait to be unsubscribed? I've been trying for at least 3 months now! If, as I suspect your server is running on Linux, I start getting a bad feeling about either the OS or your professionalism GET ME OFF THE FUCKING LIST! please

When I use smbclient to access an IOMEGA NAS server, smbclient tries to access port 445 for a full five minutes before timing out: [2004/02/20 17:48:24, 10] lib/gencache.c:gencache_get(262) Returning valid cache entry: key = NBT/NAS_120_1#20, value = 192.168.123.161:0, timeout = Fri Feb 20 17:53:22 2004 [2004/02/20 17:48:24, 5] libsmb/namecache.c:namecache_fetch(201) name

We have a few win9x workstations, that have spurious login problems. They get the message: No domain server was available to validate your password you may not be able to gain access to some network resources. The passwords are definetly correct and the problem will sometimes disappear after 5 - 10 retries, but almost always after a full restart of the win9x PC, very occasionally it takes as

I much regret in many ways having to ask this question below. But our business needs now demand more than we think we can deliver using open source software exclusively. What is the best way to 'suck up' all of the domain group and user data from a current samba 3.0.21a PDC into a microsoft windows 2003 server? We have two basic needs that demand we now introduce active directory servers

Hi All, Is there a way (speak command/wsh script) that allows a win9x workstation that is logged into a samba domain server (running onlinux for example) to see from the workstation what owner a certain file or directory has? Under win2k the "dir /q" command does this adequately. And if this is possible, is it then possible for someone to change the ownership of a file to another

Samba admins, I have stumbled across a FREE & interesting utility that allows one to create Policy Templates straight from an registry export "*.reg" (unicode or ansi), thank you Yizhar Hurwitz. http://www.new-ofek.co.il/yizhar/ Hope somebody else finds this usefull too.

Sorry to those of you that have received duplicates of my messages over the easter weekend. I had subscribed to the nntp server of my isp (pipex uk) and searched for "samba" it showed a few hits but "gmane.network.samba.general" showed as containing no posts but "mailing.unix.samba" showed a bit more than 20'000 so I subscribed to that and sent a slurr of

Does the following setup have any chance of ever working without to many problems?

This isn't necessarily a samba problem, but its happening on my domain with a Samba PDC. I have 2 computers running XP Pro that I can only connect to intermittently. All 3 of these machines are joined to the domain and can access domain resources when logged in as a domain user through the Samba PDC. SHIPPING1 always seems to work. SHOP1 and SHOP2 are the ones that allow intermittent

Is there a switch or config setting somewhere that would allow me to start up more than the default 4 xen DomU instances? I am finding that the CentOS 5 (x86_64) installation only allows me to start up 4 virtual machines at a time. (It is definetly not a lack of cpu resources, memory or disk space.) Any help or pointers, would be much appreciated. Regards, -- Urs Rau

I am using 3.0.13 and have temporarily run out of disk space on the main samba server, so I have NFS mounted some space from another machine. into a directory that is accessible under samba.
