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

Hi, I have somewhat successfully got Samba working where as users can map the drives to their win2k/xp workstations and wrote to the folders they are given permissions to. They can write to the folder, delete folders, write files, delete files, view the file listing, however, they can't open files. For instance, if there is a word document, they can't just double click on the share and

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

Mates, I am at the point that I will have to update my trusty samba 2.0.9 to 3.0.6 or 2.2.11. (damn SP2) Problem is that my production machine is still running Mandrake 7.2 and, of course, there aren't any RPMs for the old distro. So, I guess my option is to install from source. Do I need to rpm -e the 2.0.9 before attempting to compile and install 2.2.11 or 3.0.6? My server is a simple

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

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

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.

Hi, I have setup samba server on my linux box (Fedora Core 4 with latest samba, just updated via RHN) and has configured file sharing via samba for this server and connecting to it from my windows xp box. So far, everything works fine and it is very fast. Then, I configured a printer, and shared it via samba. And, I can see+connect to it from Windows XP and can even print. But, everything

Mates, Just got done configuring and compiling 3.0.7-1 on my Mandrake 7.2 box. The process was as follows: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-smbmount make The following is a listing of the ../bin directory. Does it look like all the pieces got built and are about the right size?? Any feedback before doing the 'make install' would be appreciated..... [root@Nemesis source]# ls -al

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,

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

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

Hi guys, Unfortunately this is still happening I've tried restarting Samba. Users who should be denied access after 21:00 are being denied access at 19:00. Our time zone in South Africa is GMT+2. Perhaps I should set the timezone on the server to UTC/GMT ? Do you think this will help ? Should I then leave the time set to the current time in South Africa ? Or should I set the time to the
