Mates, The saga continues, but THANK GOD 'make revert' WORKS. Here is my problem. I am trying to compile 3.0.7 from source and install it on my Mandrake 7.2 box. The gcc compiler is 2.95.3. Here is what I have done: [stop samba] # ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-smbmount # make # make install # /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start Here is what I get: [root@Nemesis david]# tail

POSTED TO THE LIST W/O ATTACHMENTS -------- Jerry, I am sending this to you directly because it contains the tcpdump information in addition to the samba logs just in case there is sensitive information contained in the files. What is happening is that samba 3.0.25c, after first running smoothly, is becoming very "chatty" across our LAN. I don't know why, but with no files or

I never thought it would happen to me, but it did... I have read threads about slow copies from WinXX to Linux/Samba on the list in the past, but I don't recall a concise answer regarding what the cause was. THE PROBLEM: Trying to copy an 8 meg file from Win95 to my Linux/Samba box (named "Nemesis" - for good reason), the transfer speed slows to a crawl. The Win95 copy dialog box

I have a public share on my samba server named "Public" as follows: [public] comment = Public/General use files path = /home/samba/public browseable = yes public = yes writeable = yes write list = @mis I've tried removing the writeable and write list, adding a forced user= and all kinds of other combinations but nothing seems to

Listmates, I have had a few boxes where the 'matchname' message is filling my syslog with one new message ever ~40 seconds or so. No performance problems, just the log annoyance. An example of the messages are: Jan 11 13:43:03 nemesis smbd[2246]: [2010/01/11 13:43:03, 0] lib/util_sock.c:1685(get_peer_name) Jan 11 13:43:03 nemesis smbd[2246]: Matchname failed on Adrienne-PC.rbpllc.com

Mates, In following chapter 35 "How to Compile Samba" I have looked at ./configure --help and I have a few questions. Originally I installed 2.0.9 via RPM, and of course there are no longer RPMs for mdk 7.2. On 7.2, smbd and nmbd are installed in /usr/sbin. The docs are in /usr/share/doc/samba-2.0.9. I don't know where the rest of the pieces of the puzzle were scattered by

Hello. I need to allow one of my users to add & delete shares on my Samba server through the 'server manager' applet on his client . This same user also writes some files to the same Samba server. I don't want the files that he writes to be owned/written by 'root' . The way I understand the 'add share command' currently, this is not possible. Am I missing

Listmates, I have a fresh openSuSE 10.3 install with all updates installed, the video card is a MSI nVidia 8600GT (pci-e 16). After following the openSuSE nVidia install and the Compiz Fusion install (and after log outs and reboots) compiz refused to start. As shown on the openSuSE Compiz page he file .config/compiz/compiz-manager was created with: COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--no-libgl-fallback

My goal is to make VPN access to our Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7.0) so that users can access there home shares from Windows clients. I have read the instructions at http://samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/pppd/final-report.pdf, but I can't make it work. Don't know if is due to my lack of skills or has something to do with the Popop functionality in FreeBSD. Following the instructions, i made a

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

Hi all, I installed SuSe 9.1 with Samba 3.0.4-suse. I can not get the smbd to start from swat, but nmbd is running, When I start smdb and nmbd with the SWAT restat then ps -A shows that the processes are there and it seems to run, but not according to the 'status' of swat. Copying files from samba and printing with the shared printers work though. The printers show "access denied, no

I down loaded the Acrobat Reader but I still cannot view the form 1192 W-8 Certificate of Foreign Status. Maybe I'm not following the instuctions correctly or something stupid. Can you e-mail me back a copy of this form so I can read it and see how to follow up on federal tax avoidance? I might purchase your product if you can better convince me on how to legally get it done.

Mates, I have configured samba 100 times, but this time, I'm doing something increadibly stupid that I just cannot see. Please HELP! I'm about to jump......

I have a small Samba 2.2.1a plus Win2k workgroup. Samba is running on Redhat 7.2. There is a networked laserjet 5000 using a static IP which I can print to successfuly from the linux box, and from the win2k workstations via the queue on the linux box. The weird thing is that, on the win2k worksations, if I double click on the printer icon the status of the printer is reported as "Access

sshd also dies when certain other kinds of traffic is generated, such as `man pw' using the most pager[1], and many x11 apps such as emacs. However, it is stable when running simple x11 apps such as xeyes, and the link its self is stable -- a terminal will stay connected without issue for days, as long as not much happens in it. Also a sshfs connection dies immediately. ssh -Y karren gkrellm

Hi, I know little to nothing about samba so need some advice on a problem I'm having. One of my users is trying to mount a UNIX directory onto his PC and gets the error "not authorised from this station". He was able to do this until he had his hard drive swapped out. Desktop have said they all settings are as they were previously and that this is a UNIX issue. Other users on the

Mates, I have set up a backup scheme that uses rsync to backup shares from my mdk 7.2 box to an old ibm box that is running win95. Basically I use "smbmount //backup/d /mnt/backup -o password=" to mount the ibm's d:/ as /mnt/backup. How can I test to see if the drive is still mounted without using another smbmount call prior to starting the rsync backup. smbmount works for this,
