Not sure if this got through the 1st time, so I am trying a repost. I appologize if you get this twice, but I need help! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Andrew, Jerry and the rest of the team: Hello again! It has been quite some time since I was here and waded the waters to set up bind8 and samba 2.07 on my trust mdk 7.2 box. (by the way, it is still working like a champ) over 400 days uptime before the last extended power outage. Well, obviously a lot has changed since the 2.07 days and I am now working on a SuSE 8.2 box with samba 2.2.7a

Mates, The saga continues, but THANK GOD 'make revert' WORKS. Here is my problem. I am trying to compile 3.0.7 from source and install it on my Mandrake 7.2 box. The gcc compiler is 2.95.3. Here is what I have done: [stop samba] # ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-smbmount # make # make install # /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start Here is what I get: [root@Nemesis david]# tail

Mates, I have configured samba 100 times, but this time, I'm doing something increadibly stupid that I just cannot see. Please HELP! I'm about to jump...... Background, Old samba sever (nemesis) being replaced with new one (bonza). Both are up and operating. All networking is OK, Name resolution is fine, etc. The problem is that all users can see all the shares on the

Mates, What would cause smbclient not to list my printer share?? (mandrake 7.2, 2.2.19 kernel) [david@Nemesis david]$ smbclient -U% -L localhost Domain=[RB_LAW] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- guillory Disk David Guillory Bertin Disk Darren Bertin Rankin

Mates, On my Suse 9.0 pro installation, I updated Samba from 2.2.8a to 3.0.7. The upgrade went flawlessly, Samba is happily sharing all the files it was before. However, I can no longer print via cups. I have a HP LJ4 attached to the Linux box that worked great before the upgrade. I have 2 XP clients. Now from the Windows side, I get the printer status showing 'access denied, unable to

James, I have sent this to you directly and cc:ed the list for reasons that should become apparent below. THE SITUATION OS: mdk 7.2, 2.2.19 kernel - basically bone stock Latest addtions: samba 3.0.7-1 compiled from source (working fine); cups-1.1.18-1 from mdk rpm Reasons for additions: XP SP2 fun and games THE MYSTERY As any normal person does, I use

Mates, I have set up a backup scheme that uses rsync to backup shares from my mdk 7.2 box to an old ibm box that is running win95. Basically I use "smbmount //backup/d /mnt/backup -o password=" to mount the ibm's d:/ as /mnt/backup. How can I test to see if the drive is still mounted without using another smbmount call prior to starting the rsync backup. smbmount works for this,

Mates, I'm trying to learn a little more. I have 3.0.7 running on Mandrake 7.2. I could see all the shares, but couldn't access the files "sendfile failed". I set use sendfile = No and all is well. I have a separate system Suse 9.0 pro with use sendfile = yes and I have no problems. What is the difference??? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN * BERTIN, PLLC 510 Ochiltree

Mates, I'm trying to solve some log errors I getting. I have samba 3.0.7 installed on Suse 9.0. It has been happening intermittently for several months. I don't know if this is XP client related or what. Any thoughts: The errors are: Feb 9 20:00:33 skyline smbd[14408]: [2005/02/09 20:00:33, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1000) Feb 9 20:00:33 skyline smbd[14408]: getpeername

Mates, In following chapter 35 "How to Compile Samba" I have looked at ./configure --help and I have a few questions. Originally I installed 2.0.9 via RPM, and of course there are no longer RPMs for mdk 7.2. On 7.2, smbd and nmbd are installed in /usr/sbin. The docs are in /usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.9. I don't know where the rest of the pieces of the puzzle were scattered by

Mates, Just got done configuring and compiling 3.0.7-1 on my Mandrake 7.2 box. The process was as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-smbmount make The following is a listing of the ../bin directory. Does it look like all the pieces got built and are about the right size?? Any feedback before doing the 'make install' would be appreciated..... [root@Nemesis source]# ls -al

Mates, I am experiencing slowness over my wireless connection when trying to access files through M$ word on my samba server (3.07). Looking at the packets, the following looks curious: NT Create AndX NT AndX Response, Error: NT Status: STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND Has anyone else noticed this problems when browsing or opening files in Office 2003? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

Mates, I am at the point that I will have to update my trusty samba 2.0.9 to 3.0.6 or 2.2.11. (damn SP2) Problem is that my production machine is still running Mandrake 7.2 and, of course, there aren't any RPMs for the old distro. So, I guess my option is to install from source. Do I need to rpm -e the 2.0.9 before attempting to compile and install 2.2.11 or 3.0.6? My server is a simple

Guys, I think the answer to my question is to upgrade samba. However, since this is my production machine, I thought I would try and understand the problems I'm having a little better to insure that an upgrade will correct my issues. My setup - Mandrake 7.2, samba 2.09. Win98, ME and XP clients. The 98 and ME machines have no problems. The XP machine has some intermittent slowness

Guys, I have probably missed an announcement or overlooked something in a changelog, but I just want to confirm what I'm seeing is expected behavior. I run samba in standalone mode and I have always checked operation with smbclient -U% -Llocalhost Now the faithful command returns an error: Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) Simply using the hostname

Listmates, In 8 years, since 2.02 (I think), I have never seen this behavior out of samba. I run a stand-alone server with WinXP clients. Somehow a legal assistant created (not intentionally mind you) files and directories with ACL attributes set: -rwxrwx---+ 1 cyndy ochiltree 21504 2008-10-28 16:48 AUTHORIZATION - employment.doc* -rwxrwx---+ 1 cyndy ochiltree 12804 2008-10-28 16:48

<earlier, David Rankin wrote to no avail:> Mates, I have been watching a developing problem over the past few weeks. Most likely a M$ patch to XP that has caused problems. What happens is that XP clients try to open the standard "File" -> "Open" dialog (like in word, or whatever) and the file open dialog hangs and stops responding for 15 seconds or so. I have

Listmates, Samba has been trouble free for some time, but I have a very strange error related to one machine on my network that is filling my logs with smb errors. The box in question "ripper" is a normal WinXP box that is dual-boot with SuSE 10.3. The errors are received every 30 minutes or so: Aug 21 17:04:03 archangel smbd[3116]: [2009/08/21 17:04:03, 0]

Listmates, On my Archlinux server with samba 3.3.4-1, I am getting a smbd error that is filling my logs and I'm not sure why. The box 'ripper.3111skyline.com' shown below is a dual boot box and spends most of its life and mom's XP box and masquerades as an openSuSE 10.3 box the rest of the time. There are seven other boxes on this lan with 5 others being dual boot XP/openSuSE
