Hello, Last week I have detected with Zabbix that a member of my Samba domain had been downloading at a rate of around 8 Mbps for two days and a half. When asking the person to whom belonged the machine, he didn't know he was downloading anything but he said he had observed his machine had slowed down since then. I took a tcpdump of the traffic before terminating his session on Windows

Would really appreciate it if someone could tell me why this is happening: I override ssn method of AR class so I can encrypt/decrypt to/from the db: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base def ssn=(value) write_attribute(:borrower_ssn, Crypto.encrypt(self.encryption_key, value)) write_attribute(:borrower_ssn_final_four, value[5,4]) end def ssn # this begin - rescue can be

Before wasting a lot of time going at this in the wrong list, I would like to confirm whether my thinking is on or off base with respect to source and destination ports. Samba is being blocked by fw2loc even though I have accept rules set up. I believe I can explain why, but I could be wrong. I think that for some reason, samba is sourcing stuff on the commonly used port 137, but trying to send

Hello, I would like to ask you if its possible to run Samba on an other port than 137-139? I tried once to edit the "/etc/services" File. The lines: ... netbios-ns 137/tcp netbios-ns 137/udp netbios-dgm 138/tcp netbios-dgm 138/udp netbios-ssn 139/tcp netbios-ssn 139/udp ... I changed it to: ... netbios-ns 6998/tcp netbios-ns 6998/udp netbios-dgm 6999/tcp netbios-dgm 6999/udp

I run samba 2.2.8a on my openbsd 3.4 box, installed from a package. All i need is the ability to mount disks form winxp boxes so i only run smbd, at 139/tcp. I tried scanning the box with nessus, and it came up with some results that got me curious. Since i dont know very much about the smb protocol I thought i should ask here. Have searched the archives but found only old posts, concering

I''m having a silly little problem with migrations.  All I''m trying to do is to add an SSN column to my Employees table.  I generated a migration which looks like: class AddSsn &lt; ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up     add_column :employees, :ssn, :string end def self.down     remove_column :employees, :ssn   end end When I run this, however, I get: &gt;rake

Sorry if this is such a basic question but I couldn't find anything about this in the FAQs/HowTos/Digest. I've compiled samba-1.9.18p3 on SunOS4.1.3_U1. When I tried to run smbd via inetd.conf (SIGHUP), I always get the following on the console. inetd[590]: netbios-ssn/tcp: unknown service I've edited the /etc/services to add: netbios-ssn 139/tcp And the /etc/inetd/conf with

Hi list, I am encountering a problem in connecting a Windows 2003 to a Samba 3.0.21b server. The Samba server is configured to have a security = share option, so that no password is needed. I can connect to the server by typing "net use z: \\192.168.51.1\data", and it is successful. However, if I try to do "dir z:", no file found! Same behaviour are found in Windows

I have tried to set up Samba on my Solaris 2.5.1 with 2 interfaces (le0, le0:1 - one network card with two IP addresses). But all I could see is throught the default ports 137 and 139. In my /etc/inetd.conf, I have: netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /opt/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd -s/opt/samba/lib/kes.smb.conf netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /opt/samba/bin/smbd smbd -s/opt/samba/lib/kes.smb.conf

I'm currently running version 2.0.7 of samba(CIFS9000). I have HPUX 11.x installed on the samba server. When I try to run this from inetd it doesn't work. I can run a startup script that runs the smbd as a daemon and it works fine. But if I try to run it from inetd it won't start. The previous version of Samba 1.9.18p10 that I had on this server worked fine. Is this a bug in

Hi, I've used Samba several years without any problems. Last week I added a new disk to my system, and Samba started to behave very strange. It's slow in terms of establish a connection and time to list directories. I've tried to resolve the problem without success. No other daemon has problems, both ftp and http works fine as well as internal communication. Below I've attached

Hi team, one small query, Is netbios-ns,netbios-dgm and netbios-ssn ports 137,138,139 need to be open to communicate with windows from linux. what was the use of these services??

Hello, I've succefuly installed samba 2.2.2 on my Linux box. I can share between Linux and MS boxes, but I want to start samba from xinetd. In /etc/xinetd.d/ I have this: #/etc/xinetd.d/netbios-ns service netbios-ns { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp port = 137 user = root wait

I have an XP home (falcon) and an XP pro (tatooine) machine, both behind a rh9 box (hoth) acting as firewall. I've been trying to get samba set up on the linux box. I think I have it mostly working except that the XP boxes won't list hoth under "My Network Places - Microsoft Windows Network - MSHOME", and I cannot access hoth by name at all from the XP-pro box (by IP, I can

Hi all, I've recently setup samba 2.2.5 on a solaris 8 workstation and configured it to be a member of an NT domain. Everything is working correctly, with the exception that the samba server does not appear in the network neighborhood of the rest of the PC's in the domain. However, if you choose to "search for computers" and enter the netbios name of the server it is

Hello, I am new to samba and i would to well secure it.

Hi! Been having the same problem with oplocks for a while and have been trying to figure out what's going wrong. The FAQ says that we may have a networking (hardware?) problem, but according to the Linux box's ifconfig results, we have had no errors and no dropped packets on the internal network. I am able to reproduce the error pretty much at will on our network, and it is not isolated
