Hi, I'm having trouble getting a logon script to work... I have created a DOS batch file (timesync.bat) and placed it in the scripts directory of the server. The file contains only one line - net time \\ptlserver /SET /y My smb.conf "Globals" section is:- [global] workgroup = PTLTRAIN netbios name = PTLSERVER server string = Llandrindod Trainee Server encrypt passwords = Yes

Yes, just make your changes and then wait a couple of minutes! Samba re-reads its config file every minute or so, as soon as changes are detected they are implemented!

Many thanks to everyone who replied to me with possible solutions to the problem I was having with drive mappings from login scripts under Windows 98SE. Adam Manock hit the nail on the head with his comments (see below) - it turned out to be exactly this. I was using Notepad to edit the login script, then using SSH to transfer the script to the server. SSH was 'helpfully' converting

I am having a problem with the Samba server that I run. Simply, new users added to the system cannot log on to the PC's that are controlled from the Samba server's domain. Users that are already on the system and have been working for some time seem to be unaffected. I suspect that the problem may well be related to the 'minor' problem we experienced with the server the other

Steve, Here's how I got it all working: Create the directory you want to share (you've already done this bit), change the group ownership to be www-data and then chmod the folder 2775. You should end up with a folder whose group ownership is www-data and whose permissions are rwxrwsr-x, ie the setgid bit is set to cause files to be owned by the group www-data. Here's my share

Many thanks to those who have replied so far - still no luck unfortunately. It would appear that I was ni=ot quite specific enough in the original post re: the OS version I am using - it is Windows 98SE, NOT vanilla 98. As for the login script I am using, I tried originally with the NT/2K script I use for all the other machines (logical as they are all NT/2K!): #### Script starts here ####

I am having a problem with Samba 2.2.2 mapped drives under Windows NT. Specifically, the problem is that users cannot either read directly from (by double-clicking on a file), nor directly write to the root of a mapped drive. Users CAN however create a folder in the root of their mapped drives and then read and write files to that folder okay, and can also copy files from the root of their

Hi, I am having a problem with automating the download of printer drivers from a Samba 2.2.8 server. We used to use the server with he following options set: use client driver = yes disable spoolss = yes However these options have now been removed from smb.conf. Following the instructions available in printer_driver2.htm (supplied in docs/htmldocs in the source), I can add a printer driver to

Hai Paul. Yep. time sync is a must in ADDC setups and for very server it a must imo. You might need to sync a hardware clock also, because if the hardware clock gets more then 5 min out of sync. You might end up en some strang problem. And do note, NTP Server is only needed on the DC,s members, just point them to the DC. Better imo, add CNAME ntp1 to dc1 and ntp2 to dc2 and use the ntp1/2

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, I have the following manifest that basically syncs the time for nodes really out of sync and ntpd can''t drift the time back fast enough. The problem is that when puppet executes the catalog, and puppet changes the time, puppet never finishes because it can''t calculate the "run time" since puppet changed the time during the puppet run. Is this a bug? Should I do

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 ?

Hi everyone, I'me having trouble with a CentOS 7 guest running on a Hyper-V host. For some reason, the CentOS guest randomly drops its IP address. Running "systemctl restart NetworkManager" on the console will restore IP connectivity without a reboot. I think that DHCP is timing out, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Is there a way to tell NetworkManager to keep trying after

Correct ugly oversight, we need to check the return values of kmalloc and vmbus_recvpacket and return if they fail. I also tightened up the call to kmalloc.
