I have three systems that I want to be able to use samba to share files and printers: 1. leopard --- a SuSE 6.2 samba server 2. cs198787-a --- a win98 box 3. cougar --- an old 386 running WfWg All systems are connected and were happily sharing successfully until I noticed last week that I could no longer print from the linux box to the win98 box. The print files just disappeared. So after

I noticed a few weeks ago that I was no longer able to access shares on a win98 box called cs198787-a. This used to work but it's now broken and I have no idea why???? I'm going nuts trying to fix this. I've even gone out and bought the book "Using Samba" .... great book btw. The samba server is running on a SuSE linux system and passes all the tests in the

The "hide unreadable = yes" option gives strange results with samba 3.x. Everything works fine when the server runs as a domain controller. Users see the directories they are supposed to (unix group permission) in the share. Turning off domain control and setting "security = DOMAIN", however, hides every directory in the share unless you are an admin user. I can cd to the

I am using the defaults that came with the samba RPM package on Mandrake 10.1. For socket options, it has: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 Is that something that may fix the problem if I change it?

After upgrading XP to SP2, I can no longer connect to server aliases. The client reports an error 53, "The network path was not found", when doing "net use * \\prof\profile. Mapping to a share on the real netbios name works fine. Anyone else seen this? Setup: samba-3.0.6.rc2 smb.conf [global] netbios aliases = PROF include = /etc/samba/smb.%L smb.prof [profile] path =

Hello! I am attempting to get tinc running between two machines and would appreciate any guidance one could lend.

I recently upgraded my Linux install (Debian potato to woody) and now Samba is no longer playing nice with Windows 2000. I can use smbclient on the samba machine to connect to itself, so at least that's working. The error from Windows is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired.". I deleted the smb.log file at one point in an effort to reset it. I figured it'd be created

I?m using SAMBA 3.0.4-6.3E as a PDC. I have Win98, WinNT4 and Win2000 clients successfully joined to the domain. But I can?t get an XP box to join. The XP machine can ?see? shares on the SAMBA PDC but strangely does not show up in network neighbourhood. You can find it if you search for it. The PDC is just using smbpasswd, no LDAP The machine add line in my smb.conf is as follows..... add

On a server that has been running smoothly since it was setup, and with no changes to configurations or network or anything, users cannot save a shared QuickBooks file. they have been regularly using, updating and saving to this file for a few months. All users are able to create and update other files in the same share. I have not confirmed if they are able to create and update new QuickBooks

Dear Samba gurus, I am setting up file sharing between a new linux box running RedhHat 7.3 and a W98 PC, and almost have things running but have run into a problem that is beyond my ability. I have W98 set up for PlainText password, and have set up Samba to match. Everything seems fine on the linux box. When I enter: smbclient //irisarian/rout -U Gerry%PassWd the connection succeds and

A little bird whispers to me: Don't expect this particular trick to be un-addressed by various legislatures forever. That window is closing, and the bottom of the window looks very much like a guillotine blade - don't have your head in the wrong place. In any case, as has been discussed on -users before (which is where this thread should go, and thus where I'm relegating it)

Can someone tell me where to find what error messages mean or enlighten me as to what smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL means ? Many thanks Ian

I am having some problems getting a samba server to work with Windows 2000 Active Directory.

Hi, I run Samba 2.0.5a on Linux 2.2.12 (Slackware). My clients get an error regularly (Windows95) "Network path not found" and then they lose their connection completely.

Hello All, About 2 weeks ago I upgraded from debian woody to sarge. This included an upgrade from Samba2.2 -> Samba3.0. However since the upgrade I have problems using my Samba server from my XP (home) Laptop. The symptoms are basically "explorer" freezeing on most network browseing type actions. Or if I open a file (eg a movie). I'm pretty confident that I don't have a
