Hi, I'm running samba-3.0.5 on OpenBSD 3.5. I'm trying out using samba as a print server for the first time, and it works ok, but I have this problem where everytime I print anything, a additional blank page comes out of the printer at the end of what was just printed. It's an old HP Laserjet 4 connected to the parallel port of the samba server. /etc/printcap lp|HP4|HP Laserjet

Hello all now that I have finally got CyrusSASL to authenticate.... next up is installing Samba I'm running FreeBSD 5.2.1 and have the options in the ports tree of 2.2.11 and 3.0.6 In my test server intall I used 2.2.8 with success, and it is still running at home on a P166.... as a PDC but here at work it must work for mostly Win98SE machines, plus a couple of Win2000 and XP laptops.

Has anybody done such a thing as this? I'm looking to make this transition as smooth as possible. I have the new fileserver up and running, and I'm using rsync to keep the Novell data current on the Samba server. Any words of advice on transferring the users and groups and permissions over to the new server in the least painful way possible? I have some idea that Novell uses LDAP

Does anyone know if samba has to be set up a special way ADS, wins, etc... to use the netlogin directory and it's scripts? "this server is the only smb server

Hi, Don't ask why I'm posing this question -- actually, I WILL explain below -- but is there any danger in having two shares in Samba with the same name? Here's our situation. We have a bunch of production machines out in the field. On those machines, we are constantly setting up "special project shares" for each user (different from the user's Home directory) that

usrmgr.exe administration works for me. However, sometimes it is necessary to reopen the domain up to couple of times until the administration starts working. Allegedly also it's not necessary to press F5-reload after adding an user on Windows NT. However didn't test it, never used Windows NT for adding users on an Windows NT DC :) With Samba, I always have to press F5-reload in

Hello I get response from getent passwd in the form of DOMAIN'\'username:x:number:number:name:/home/winnt/DOMAIN/usr:/bin/bash The entry in smb.conf is winbind separator = '\' Why are there the apostrophes around \ in the entry?

Hello I have experienced numerously (but not experiencing them anymore, maybe because already not restarting winbindd so often) that wbinfo -u returned only local users, omitting the trusted domains. This often happens after restart of winbindd. When I issue wbinfo -m it fixes itself. It looks like waiting alone doesn't help. Is this a bug? Cl<
