I was just with my boss cause he had trouble with some Excel and Word document on the Samba server. I noticed that when he saves an Excel document sometimes it takes a lot of time to save and sometimes Excel stop responding, when that happens the file stays locked on the server and when he tries to open it back, he can only open it read only. Is there a reason why it takes so much time to save?

Which filesystem supports ACL? Ext2/ext3 with the acl.bestbits.at patch, XFS and what other? Does 2.4.18 supports XFS or do you need a patch for it? What about ACL on XFS? Do you need a patch? Is there any filesystem that supports ACL, that the kernel supports without patches? Any place I can find a comparison of different filesystems with advantage and disadvantage of each? The Filesystems HOWTO

When doing ./configure --with-acl-support it gives me a message almost at the end of "checking whether to support ACLs... no". What am I missing??

Well I'm trying to setup the Samba server to act as a print server too. I had uploaded the drivers for the 4 printers we have and I installed all 4 printers on my test computer and it worked well. But when I got back from my vacations one of the tech told me that he couldn't install the printer drivers from the server and when I check the driver didn't seem to be in the driver list

Well I had to set up Samba on a new server and everything seem to went pretty well for the most part but now when I try to log on the domain it gives me an error message saying it couldn't load the profile on the server. What I did was set up new server with pretty much the same configuration, then one evening when there was nobody here I copied all the profiles and other stuff from the old

Ok I have a samba server that I use for file sharing, I have a lot of trouble with it and I want to see if putting those shares on a WinXP box would work better. But we don't have a domain here, just workstation in a workgroup and I was wondering if there was a way I could copy all user/pass from the samba server to the Windows box so that transfering the shares from Samba to Windows would be

I'm trying to setup a PDC (and later on a BDC as well) using samba 3.02a and openLDAP 2.2.13 and I'm having some trouble with the idealx scripts. When I run the command /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd alex I get the message: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Net::LDAP" (perhaps you forgot to load "Net::LDAP"?) at

Well I'm having some trouble with samba, I had those troubles on a box for quite some time and not long ago I moved all the stuff to a new box to see if it'll work better but it doesn't. I'm monitoring one person in particular because she's the one who do most of the editing stuff in there. What happens is when she opens a document (.doc or .xls most of the time), when she

Hi, I'm having some problems when compiling Samba against the OpenLDAP 2.0.27 shared libraries, I'm trying to compile Samba 3.0beta2 with LDAP support but it can't find the ldap libraries for some reason. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand how all these autoconf/automake script works but I did some research and it seems that Samba is testing to see if the ldap_init

Hi, I'm currently using Samba 2.2.8a and when I try to set some permissions on a directory from Windows, Samba only adds the permission to the directory itself and not the sub-directories. Is there a way to make Samba set the permissions on the sub directories also? Thanks Jean-Rene Cormier

Hi, I have some problems printing to a HP LaserJet 2300 and 4200, everything prints fine but I can't send more than 1 copy to the printer. I installed the printer on a local WinXP box with the HP installation CD and it worked fine but through Samba I can't print more than one copy. We have some other HP printers, a LaserJet 2200 and 4550 and they both work fine. It's like I can't

Have IdealX.org lost their domain? it seems to have been pinched by some company selling domains. Site is partially mirrored at Idealx.com but stil links to idealx.org. Replace idealx.org urls with idealx.com but the samba downloadable stuff isn't there at the moment. Duncan

Hi all, I'm currently working on getting the whole samba with ldap working. I'm having an error trying to join a computer to the domain, when windows goes to change to the new domain I get the dialogue box to enter the user/pass to join I do that and it returns: the following error occurred.... the username could not be found. taking a look at the smbd.log file it shows: [2005/06/16

Hi, When i put the command pdbedit plus any user name show the message user not found. Only user root is exibited. Why the others not show? the service smbd winb nmbd slapd is running without problem. Example *root at AbramisSRV smbldap-tools]# pdbedit -Lv teste* Username not found! *[root at AbramisSRV smbldap-tools]# pdbedit -Lv root* Unix username: root NT username: root

My root account keeps getting locked out automatically. I am running Samba 3.0.25b on a CentOS server, as PDC with LDAP backend. I have accounts set to lock after 8 un-successful login attempts. I zeroed out the bad password count, and then in less than a few seconds the account gets locked again and a /pdbedit -Lv -u root /yields the following: Unix username: root Logon time:

hi, i'm trying to migrate my samba 2.2.8a pdc to 3.0.12 pdc. I'm using ldap and i have already migrated all the data. Also i have executed convertSambaAccount for the new schema. My problem is that I cannot set the old SID (samba 2.2.8) to the new samba 3.0.12 for that the clients can authentificate to pdc server. samba2.2.8> smbpasswd -S LDAP Successfully set domain SID to

Hi samba admins, I don?t know is this the right place for my question, but I can?t find a list for my problem. I have some trobble to configure the smbldap-tools. I have download and copy the scripts to /usr/local/sbin. But a /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd.pl testuser breaks with this error message: get_user_dn2: error in ldapsearch : /usr/bin/ldapsearch -x -h _SLAVELDAP_ -D '_BINDDN_'

This is probably easy for experienced users but I could not find a solution. I have several R scripts that process several columns of a dataframe (several dataframes and columns actually, but simplified for my question). References such as: myDF$myCol are all over. I like to automate this for other dataframes and columns by defining a reference only once in the beginning of the script. One
