Hi folks. I asked this question a couple of weeks ago, but nobody posted any answers. I have mandrake 9.1 with Samba 2.2.8 running a domain with 500 users. It has worked flawlessly for a long time. However, it is time to set up a new server. I have a new server with Mandrake 10 OE and Samba 3.0.3 running. Please explain to this newbie and very satisfied samba user how to migrate all my

Samba folks: The title maybe indulgent, but I wanted to get everyone's attention. I currently run mandrake 9.0 (FILESERVER) with samba 2.2.8 running as a PDC and file server for 20 WinXP workstations. We bought a new server to replace (FILESERVER). However, I want to install mandrake 9.2 and samba 3.0 on the new server -then I want the new server also to replace the PDC of the old

Hi! anyone knows where to get some info for kernel (maybe via sysctl) and or samba tuning for high performance ? I have read all the samba docs available, so aim looking for others tips besides the tcp tunings usually applied in smb.conf ? i am setting a server on a client site, with many clients (about 100), and i am using a real server hardware (an HP netserver with xeon procesor@2.8Ghz, 1Gig of

Ok, I'm sure you've answered this more then once, but still here it is : I have a FoxPro 2.0 for Lan application that used to run on DOS boxes connected to a Novell server (and of course with Novel client). Both FoxPro .exe, .prg and database/index files reside on the shared disk, and the client only maps a shared drive and starts the FoxPro application from there. Due to some

I had a test machine up and running Samba, joining an AD domain, and set up with winbind... when I ran "getent passwd" it would list all the local users, and all the domain users. I could also log in as a domain user without any problem. So, I made an image of the hard drive, and copied it to 7 other machines. Now, those 7 are having a strange problem. I changed the names and IP's of

Hi, I just install 2.2.2 in a Red Hat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.16 on ext 3 + lvm. The problem are the locks!!!!!! I've 5 users working in .dbf + cdx (foxpro) files with an 16 bits application. It accesses to the files via DAO 2.0. A lot of times in the days the users gets 'currently locked' messages when the application open the dbf's files with read only access! I desactivated the

Dear All, We have an access database running on a Samba share (Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E) with a gigabit connection to the network. The front end of the databases are on the client machines with linked tables stored in a separate mdb file on the linux server. For some reason the database runs very slowly when it is set up in this way. I tested copying a 10 MB file onto the samba share and it

Okay, this is a recurring problem that really has me frustrated. I have a samba server that's using security=server. There are four people who use it. It works fine for three of them, but the fourth one gets endlessly prompted for his password and is never allowed to log in. All are from NT 4.0 clients. What's really puzzling is that when I look at the log at debug level 2, I get the

We are trying to use Samba to serve as a file server to support an application requiring relatively low absolute bandwidth, but extremely low latency (think voice over IP). We find that while Samba (with Linux) gives very good performance compared to windows, we find that as time progresses, minimum latency seems to step up while under load from our application. It is almost as if the server is

Hi together, we have a Windows 2003 Active Directory Server, working together with Samba Version 3.0.2a-Debian. It seems everything (Kerberos authentication and so on) works fine. All the authentication is done by the windows 2003 server. My problem is, that I can't connect to a share via a windows xp client, when the share has an option "valid user" which defines a group of the

Hi all, I am attempting to get Sage to support their software if the files are on Samba (Linux). They (like a lot of people I've heard) say "We don't support Linux, Goodbye." even when the client is on Win98/NT. We have been having trouble on a particular site, and they refuse to support Sage Line 50 if the files are on Linux which is absurd, because Linux is much more

I am seeing some extremely slow logons to my SUSE servers. All are configured exactly the same. When I attempt to log on, I can enter my domain (AD) account without any problems. I then enter my password and sit and wait for several minutes until it eventually takes me to my desktop. In attempting to debug the problem, we have been able to see millions of calls to the domain controller. They

Our Samba file server has a share with an visual basic application, there are 8 XP clients working with this share. The problem is that connections are very slow when accessing mdb databases... we are using MS Access ODBC to connect to the database on the samba server. Is there any special tuning for make things better? Thanks for the posible answers... -- Javier Cano Flores

I have a file server running with Samba over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1. This File server store MDB and XLS files. Could anybody give me an optimal setup for my samba server (smb.conf). Actually, the performance is very poor.

Hi all I'm trying to use my Cobol aplication with Smba but i'm getting A LOT OF "OPEN" errors... lookslike system is (or isn't) looking files for read/write. Anybody had this problem? PS: this program isn't mine, it's just for my company made by third company.

I work for a company that has a program localy developed, and we were having a problem when we started storing the application on the samba shared drived mabye simular to what you are expereienceing. in ur smb.conf (usuly in /etc/samba/smb.conf) make sure on the shared drive in samba the oplocks are set (example below) ... <insert more smb.conf here> ;================= Clinic

The firewall didnt help matters. I think its FUBAR and I need to reformat anyways, so ill reformat and reinstall and put fresh SAMBA up, on Mandrake 9.0. The system has 2 NICs and NET_MASQ shares internet to the XP machine. Therein it acts as a DHCP server and has a firewall. I will open 139 from the start next time.

Hi fans, i tryed to use samba to share a paradox database which comes with a special trade programs. On a novell server it works fine. But on the samba share I get a corrupted database after some minutes of multi user access. I've tryed some entries in the smb.conf and I think a have a very conservative setting now. I heared of somebody who uses samba successfully with the same application
