hello, I've got a strange problem after an upgrade to samba 3. The existing profils are now unavailable for users, depending on their local rights. If the user is locally admin, his profil is succesfully loaded on login. Else there's no error, but the profil isn't loaded. The samba logs don't show anything special, but i can send them if someone want it. If I create new users,

Is it necessary? I am also confused as to what it does. If I disable it in the smb.conf file, I can not say I see any difference. I am running 6 XP pro clients, MDK 9.2 as the file server.

I'm creating roaming profiles for the Win98 boxes in our network. Is there any way to map the "My Documents" folder to a share in the Samba server? -- "Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever come to birth.

About two months ago Samba (PDC) started rejecting users when login in Windows 98 or XP (that's what we've got). The strangest thing is that there is no rule when the server rejects username, so sometimes it allows login and sometimes doesn't. Users say that the system let them in if they empty all three fileds (username, password, domain) and retype them when login in Windows 98. I

Hello, I upgraded samba to 3.0.5 (debian sid) in the hope of getting windows password change to work, but had no success. The password is changed (fortunately), but the computer still displays a message saying the old password is incorrect. Do you know how to fix it? Thanks L.CARON

Say between a Samba 3.0.4 and win2k machine?

I have a Samba Domain that did migration from: 3.0.0 -> 3.0.2 -> 3.0.2a ->3.0.4 It is a very healthy machine it is running on. A heavily updated RedHat 7.2 machine. I have rebuilt newer source SRPM to update it. Pretty much updated piece meal since forever, and probably is updated e"enough". It is lean, as I do not believe in Garbage installs. But, the point of this is:

I've got a working samba setup on a debian linux server. Existing windows boxes are win98 with unencripted passwords. They only need to see the exported directories on the samba server. All the networking is working. (dns, dhcp, ping, internet access, etc ) Anything I do on my new XP Pro box or in samba.conf gives the error message:- The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.please

When a user is not using a samba share, after a while they become "inactive". When a user wants to access the share again, it takes an irritating long time before they get access again. The (windows) application that does the accessing is not responding during that time. There are no drive letters assigned to the shares in a logon script. When I do assign a drive letter to the share (in

If anyone has had problems with winbindd not being able to locate any domain controllers after upgrading to 3.0.11 *and* you have 'disable netbios = yes' in smb.conf, please test this preliminary patch (winbind_find_dc.patch). It's pretty rough currently but needs some more widespread testing. You can download it from :

I'm attempting to join a Samba 3.0.4 domain on a Debian linux box, with a Windows XP client. Problems 1) Can only get the join to work if I use the root account. On Win2k I can use any account in the Domain Admins group. 2) The join succeeds, the unix account and the smb account are created but the smb account is disabled, and the password contains all XXXXs. Joining the domain works

Forgive my ignorance, but I keep reading about this smbtorture utility and I can't find it anywhere! It doesn't *seem* to come with Samba. Where can I find this binary? Thanks! Matthew

Hi all! I have recently installed samba-3.0.2a-1 on my RedHat 9.0, Kernel 2.4.20-8 box. The box has a 300GB RAID5 array, 4GB of memory, and dual 2.4Ghz P4 processors with hyper threading enabled. When I copy a massive amount of files (~50GB) to the Samba server from a Windows 2K client, somewhere during that process (seemingly around 2 hours into the copy each time), my Linux box COMPLETELY

Hi all. This is my first message at R-help...so I'm hoping I have some beginner's luck and get some good help for my problem! FYI I have just started using R recently so my knowledge of R is pretty preliminary. Okay here is what I need help with - I need to know how to use agrep in a for loop. I need to compare elements of a vector of names with other elements of the same vector.

Sorry for the off-topic question but I need advice on a buying a ISCSI SAN for 4-6 servers running CentOS 4.4 .The main purpose for the SAN is to store email accounts (that will be accessed by imap - dovecot) and other documents. Minimal redundancy is required (e.g. dual power supplies, battery backed write cache or mirrored controllers) and price for a 2 TB configuration should be under $ 10000.

Hello, I had talked earlier with 'Timothy B. Terriberry' <tterribe at xiph.org>, about adding support for AVX instructions in Opus, but since he appears to be busy I would like to resend this on the mailing list. I've created a pull request https://github.com/xiph/opus/pull/5 to add the testing infrastructure for the changes before adding the actual code. A draft for the rest

Excuse my ignorance please, and the simple nature of this questions...but would someone explain to me the difference between the "create mode" and "force create mode" parameters in the smb.conf file? When would "create mode" *not* be forced? Thanks! Matthew

Hello there, Can anyone help me with a problem i have.... I have an ethernet LAN, made over dumb fast-ethernet switches (10/100mbit) without management, so there is no IP for the switches. What I want, if possible, is to find out if a switch is down or not. It''s like with routers... if you want to find out if a router is OK, either you send ICMP directly to the router, or to a host

Hi all, I am new to Hearbeat so please be kind :) I also posted this on Linux-HA lists with no responses so I posted it here. I have successfully configure two machines to use heartbeat to cluster httpd. The two nodes are called etk-1 and etk-2. I am trying to configure another two machines to act as a separate cluster (on the same IP subnet). These two nodes are called radu-1 and radu-2.
