Hi Mike, You may need to create the netlogon folder in your Samba directory tree. Samba is installed on my servers in /usr/local/samba - netlogon is a subfolder of that, with scripts being a subfolder of the netlogon directory. My logon scripts are therefore in /usr/local/samba/netlogon/scripts and are owned by root.root, readable by all. Find your Samba directory and have a look for the

Samba 3.0.2a, Debian linux, 2.6.x kernel, PDC server, WinXP clients. Hi, I'm setting up a samba server for one of our branch offices. During the monitoring of the server I'd like to be able to view how many domain users, and which ones, are logged in on the domain at particular times. The users use WinXP. Is there any way of getting number of logged on domainusers, their IP's or

Samba 3.0.2a-Debian I have a somewhat working PDC server, but have some difficulties adding more users. I managed to create a user, anna, a couple of days ago, it she works fine from my wireless laptop. To sort out some problems I have with the logon.bat script [see sambalist "Netlogon script executes randomly"], I am also including my desktop computer to the domain. I've run

Hi. Occasionally a problem crops up with "File already in use by another user" when it isn't !! This is usually a Lotus organiser data file which is on the RH8/Samba 2.2.7 server. I can't find a way of clearing this "Lock" except by rebooting the server... there must be a better way, any ideas ? Thanks Mike --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Scanned with

Hi, Samba 3.0.2a, Debian linux, 2.6.5 kernel, PDC server, WinXP clients. I'm getting the following error when I try to add an XP machine to our domain. "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." I've applied the SIGN-OR-SEAL patch. The computer is connected through a wireless NIC to the network. I am able to ping the server. One other XP

You should be able to click Tools/Disconnect Network Drive from a Windows Explorer window, then select the connection to the Samba server and click ok. Note, this can be done even if the connection was not mapped to a drive letter, such as by typing \\server\share in the run box. You can then map a drive to the server with a different user account.

Hi, Samba 3.0.2a, Debian linux, 2.6.x kernel, PDC server, WinXP clients I'm setting up a PDC server, and it's also acting as a browse master. A few days ago the computer was given the IP adress 10.0.0.6 by our DHCP server. Since then I've changed the network to use 192.168.1.x IP's instead, and the server has now got 192.168.1.3 as it's IP. But, even though I've

Samba List: Is it possible to limit what filename extensions can be stored in a samba share? We use samba to allow our windows web designers to use drag and drop when deploying new pages on our website. We want to be able to limit which filename extensions can be saved to these shares. Is this possible and if not and alternatives? Bruce Embrey

Hi, I've been looking for a way to stop users creating new sub-directories under a top level (shared) directory - which will need to contain 3 readymade directories and/or to stop users placing files outside the 3 readymade directories. Is this at all possible ? Got a really basic system - Slackware 8.0 and Samba 2.2.8a running purely as a fileserver for Win2k clients. Thanks Mike

Hi, is there any way I can hide the "printers" icon/folder from the Windows users ? We don't have any printers attached to the Samba server and find that it's confusing the users a little !

Hi, I have set up Samba 3.0.2a on my Debian server as a PDC. I use a Windows XP Pro laptop to log on wirelessly, and things seems to be working fine except with the logon.bat script. I have added "logon script = logon.bat" and the netlogon share in my smb.conf. The logon.bat has executed a few times (perhaps 10% of the times), but there is obviously a problem. The logon.bat is

Hi all, got a small problem with a windows XP client when logging onto a 2.7 samba server. While the user can log on o.k., every time they do, notepad fires up and opens desktop.ini for editing. Can anyone suggest why and how to fix this. Alex Sent using Mulberry 3.01a

Hi there... first I apologise for being dim... Where can I download SWAT from ? I've looked on the Samba.org site but it only tells me that the demo page is off-line and no more info. Idiot proof instructions for installing it on RH 7.2 would be handy too :-) Thanks Mike

Hello, Samba 3.0.2a, Debian linux, 2.6.x kernel, PDC server, WinXP clients. When I try to log in on a XP client I get this message: "A device attached to the system is not functioning" I have tried google'ing for the error, but to no avail. I have earlier created a user (anna), which can successfully log in from my laptop. When I try to log in with anna on my workstation, I

Hi, I have put entries into the "hosts" file for all the machines which need to connect to our Samba server. Everything seems to be working correctly but I'm curious.... can anyone tell me what the other files "hosts.deny" and "hosts.allow" are for. Thanks Mike

Hi, not sure if I'm posting in the right place but couldn't find a SWAT forum. I've just changed my PC but the new one has exactly the same settings (IP, computername, login, password) as the old one, however I am getting an error when I try to access any of my Samba servers from Firefox (2.0.0.3) :- " 400 Server ErrorSamba is configured to deny access from this client Check

Hi, I'm Samba is a new thing for me and I hope my question will make some sense! I have created several samba shares listed in my smb.conf file and have the option "create mode = 0660" set. This is fine most of the time, however sometimes certain users create files (for web pages) that they want to be world-readable. How can I keep my default setting at 660, but have some

The Samba FAQ mentions a program called timesync to update the system clock on clients from the server. The download address in the FAQ is out of date - where can I get a copy ?
