Howdy People, I have a small problem with my redhat9-samba3.05 setup. I have various shares which have access to them by valid user = @unixgroup Some of the users in any particular group can get access whilst others cant. The curious thing is that this setup worked happily for some months and then, suddenly, it doesn't. I am now forced to list the users indivdually . I am open to ideas .

Howdy All, I have a problem with a machine which I am trying to connect to an existing samba domain 1. The machine WAS connected to the domain as hrennie$ 2. Removed hrennie$ ( using smbpasswd -x hrennie$ ) from the system. 3. Changed the name of the machine to hrenniedt$ ( found that having a user with the same name as the machine is not a good look ) . 4. Tried to reconnect the hrenniedt$ to

Howdy All, I have read with interest the problems that some people have with profiles and XP ( service pack 2 included ) in getting them to work. I, however, have not had any such trauma's ( thank goodness) and the smb.conf file listed below works a treat. The problem I have is people using profiles over several vpn connections ( just to slow ). So now I am in the situation of wanting to turn

Howdy People, I have a problem with roaming profiles in samba 3.0.5 on redhat9 ( installed from the rpm with rpm -Uv samba.3.0.5.rpm I am not using LDAP ( dont know how and as I am a Netware person on a very steep learning curve with Samba, didn't want to complicate the installation after seeing every second posting on this list as a ldap problem).

Howdy All, I am the adminstrator in a school which has netware 4.11 ( five servers in the nds tree )as its main student platform. This has been working very well over the past 6 years or so. The school has the ability to obtain a microsoft solution at no cost ( except for the new hardware required, which is the reason for this email in the first place ). Advice and opinions are sought on the

So far, so good with 1.9.18p1 on HPUX 10.20 (kudos to the Samba team!). However, I've got a question.... I'd like to be able to restrict access to some of our services, and can certainly do so with the "hosts allow = " entry in smb.conf - it does exactly what I want. But... I plan on bringing Samba up on a few campus hosts, some of which have more extensive listings of PCs I

Hello there, I have a samba PDC 3.0.0 running ok, but I had turned on the option "Time Server" in smb.conf, to synchronize the workstations time with server. But the workstations synchronize 1 hour less than it is. I think that the workstations isn?t considering the daylight saving time. I?m using the command: net time \\server /set /yes Thank?s, []?s Tercio

Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ? Other solutions ? Cheers, -- Michal Kurowski perl -e '$_=q#: 13_2: 12/o{>: 8_4) (_4: 6/2^-2; 3;-2^\2: 5/7\_/\7: 12m m::#;

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book

Hi Folks, Just installed Samba 2.2.10 on my FreeBSD 4.9 computer. I can see the FreeBSD box on all of my Win 9x boxes, but when I double click on its icon, I get a rude box message that says something like: ==================================================== You must supply a password to make this connection Resource: \\SAMMY\IPC$ ====================================================
