Fellow Samba-meisters, I'm wondering if anyone can share real-world experience running PC database apps (like M$ Access) with database files shared from a samba server. How well has the record locking proven to work? I will be setting up a small office network for a client w/ a Linux server running samba as a file/print server and 4 or 5 Win95 clients running Office97 apps. This is

Fellow samba users, I had some problems with trying to get samba running properly on Linux (RedHat 5.2), but now I've got it working. Two things I learned: 1) Use the packaging/RedHat/makerpms.sh script. It will generate a RedHat compatible rpm for you. I had to make these changes to it though: --8<------------------------(Cut Here)----------------------------------- ---

Hi. I recently migrated two machines from ext2 to ext3. Kernels (nearly identical) are 2.4.9-ac9 + preemptivity-patch + wrr-patch. The Installations are based on Mandrake 7.2 + 8.0. Also I have e2fstools-1.23 newly compiled on them. Both machines have two ext3 partitions (root + multimedia-data). On one machine I see a .journal file on both partitions, on the other machine (Mandrake-8.0)

This is a formal announcement of Lguest64. Most are aware of the little puppies (lguest32, or simply lguest, or in some circles "rustyvisor"). But this time the puppies ate a bit too much. No more lean and mean puppies, now we got big fat lazy ones. Running on the hardware that's too lazy to do full virutalization. Yes, lguest now runs on x86_64! As you know, puppies are young,

Hi, I just installed asterisk 1.4.0 on my mac. I compiled from source with no issues. I installed the sample config files, and basically just added a register line to sip.conf (to register with a Free World Dialup account). Then I called my asterisk system from a different computer (using x-lite softphone on windows xp, registered to an ekiga.net account). Asterisk answers, and I can hear the

Hi, ext3-0.0.6a has been uploaded to ftp.uk.linux.org:/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ext3-0.0.6a.tar.gz and ftp.*.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/ext3-0.0.6a.tar.gz This version changes the way dirty buffers are marked to protect against device drivers which might block in the ll_rw_block() function. (Loop and lvm are examples.) It should also fix a rare but persistent report of

I''ve set up quite a few firewalls which Shorewall, and never run into this situation.

I'm finally getting somewhere in setting up my FreeBSD PDC. I try and login via my XP client and now it gives me this odd message. "Cannot login because a duplicate user already exists on the network. Please goto control panel and system and change your computer name." Sorta paraphrased there, perhaps off by a word or two but that's pretty much what it tells me. I'm just

[ Tried to check the archives but the website seems to be down or something ] On one of our installations, I am seeing messages such as: EXT3-fs warning (device ide0(3,9))): ext3_free_inode: bit already clearned for inode 14 Anybody know exactly what they mean? These would be on a 0.0.6a system. b.

Hi all, Is it possible to specify an arbitrary unix directory to be mounted from samba? For example, to mount /usr/local/bin ? Using a different smb server, I've seen the ability to do this by doing something like Connect to: \\smbserver\/usr/local/bin Connect as: user Password: **** In other words, I'd like to be able to specify the exact path I'd like to mount without having

Hi, I''m starting a new application, and want it to be tested out the wazoo. Do people duplicate tests in both unit and functional tests? Say I have a Product model. I write tests that make sure that it acts appropriately (tests the validations and so forth). Is it good practice to also write the functional tests for the same sort of tests (i.e. make sure that the validations are

Hello, This is my 2nd attempt at running Samba on my linux box at work, but i thought i would ask some basic questions: David Bandel suggested i upgrade to 2.0, so i did..:) Now, what i want to do is the following: Be able to access the linux box from a 95/98 or NT workstation, now i know this can be done since my box "odie" showed up in the network neighborhood list on a few

Hi, I'm trying to replace an NT SBS box with a RH5.2 box, and things are proceeding quite well, save a few samba troubles. I've found that the NT4WS (SP4) clients can log in if told to use a samba machine as a "workgroup", but that they can not find a domain controller if told to use "domain" logons. (They have the registry password encryption hack installed.)

I'm new to SAMBA and am trying to install it on a Origin 200 running IRIX 6.4. I’ve downloaded and un-tarred 5 files: samba samba.idb samba.man samba.src samba.sw Now what do I do? I’m really lost. I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please respond to: krestoule@yahoo.com TIA!! -Kyle Restoule

SAMBA Gurus (Both on the mailing list and in the nesgroup): I am running 1.9.18p8 on our production server and 2.0beta4 on a test server. Both are HP-UX 10.20.

It fails, whether connected to the production server or test server. Granted, this is an old
