I'm trying to figure out if there's any way to have multiple virtual servers on the same machine, each server having different shares. Barring running multiple smbd processes, I don't see a way. Is there one? Thanks! -Ken

1. Does anyone know what may be happening here? When I try to map a drive from a PC, I get the following error: "The account is not authorized to log in from this station.". I can map the drive just fine from my PC. Does anyone know what may be going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 2.

Hi! Please, can i use Samba like BDC in my network? thanks, Avellar

I moved an old smb system (version 2) over to a completely new system with version 3.0.7 running on FC2. I just copied the config files over and then ran swat and adjusted any problems that I found. Then save the swat config and started the smb server. Gosh be Good! It worked just fine. But... I stared noticing entries like these in the logs:

Mates, I'm trying to learn a little more. I have 3.0.7 running on Mandrake 7.2. I could see all the shares, but couldn't access the files "sendfile failed". I set use sendfile = No and all is well. I have a separate system Suse 9.0 pro with use sendfile = yes and I have no problems. What is the difference??? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E. RANKIN * BERTIN, PLLC 510 Ochiltree

Hi Folks, Got Samba 3.0.7,1 running on FreeBSD--yippee! One thing that I noticed is that when a Windows user clicks on his folder named something like 'username', there are a bunch of files there that he might 'accidently' delete: .cshrc .login .login_conf .mail_aliases .mailrc .profile .rhosts .shrc Is there some way to automatically log on the user to folder just below

Config: Samba 3 trusts a win2003 domain. XP workstations joined to Samba PDC domain. When a user in the 2003 domain tries to login using an XP workstation and choosing the 2003 domain in the "log onto" box this fails unless the user also has a Linux user account. Is there a way around this? Is this just the way it works? Thanks Lee Baker

Im having a problem with permissions/ownership changing. I have a hard drive which is mounted in /mnt/hda3. That's where I keep my home folders, netlogon etc. Samba works great for a while, then the permissions change on the mount point and I have to go in and change them back. What would cause this to happen? Brian

Hi! I don't use MS products at all, so I have very little knowledge with them, but I believe Microsoft has as protocol where Internet Explorer can automatically authenticate against an IIS server, and given that the server and client are on the same NT domain, and the client user is logged in to that domain, the user is automatically logged in without the need to give away the password
