similar to: Installing Samba on Solaris

I'm new to Samba and Unix in general. I've been given the task of setting up Samba on a Solaris 7 server. I been told that both Windows XP and Mac systems need to access several folders on this system. In addition, this set up has to work with our NIS server (dns1) to authenticate the users for security. I was able to set up Samba with NIS support but only the Windows clients can see

Hi all, I've recently run into a situation whereby I need samba to tackle a task. It is complicated by multi-vendor infrastructure. I am hoping that someone here has the knowledge and experience to say: "been there, done that...here is how..." To give some background to the architecture (slightly exotic)... 1. We run a large Sun SAM-FS/QFS installation (a high end

Hi there, we have a customer with some old Windows 98 stuff. The network has been migrated to a 2008 domain and Windows 98 won't authenticate (and thus can not access shares, also all computer names (DC's / fileservers) are longer than 8 characters). Figured I would mount the shares on the fileservers on a linux box (ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit server) and then export them again through

Hi, Since the fast track to replacing my NT domain controller didn't work out too well I'm starting with the basics. Right now I have the drafting office setup going from chapter two of the Samba 3 By Example book. My smb.conf is as follows: #########################3################### [global] workgroup = MIDEARTH security = SHARE [Plans] path = /plans read only = Yes guest ok =

For the purpose of my question I will use the following informaiton: User Name = john.smith PDC = MIDEARTH Domain Name = MARS I have a samba-3 domain set up using Win XP Pro clients. Everything works ok besides for a few programs that are flaking out. But I have one small querk. I can log on the computer using MARS\john.smith and works fine. Lets say I have john.smith as a local user

hi, i wondered why i can still list my shares with "smbclient -NL localip", security = SHARE ....i just disable the user nobody? the log: [2005/11/27 12:05:48, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(81) added interface ip=192.168.10.66 bcast=192.168.10.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 [2005/11/27 12:05:48, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(81) added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255

Greetings. I am attempting to configure a SAMBA server to act as a "gateway" server and am having some issues. Any assistance or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Our company has need to connect to remote CIFS server, running SAMBA, hosted by a remote company. To do this, I am attempting to mount the remote share to a local server and then reshare this back out to our

Hi Samba team, first I want to appologize for this spam, you probably get tons of such messages per day. However I am desparate and sick of digging into newsgroups, mailing lists and everything else ;)) Since 1 year I am trying to find a way to make samba receive winpopup messages from Windows 2000, or Xp, using the "net send" command. Receiving messages from other linux machines

I've had this problem since FreeBSD 4.3. This problem continues with my FreeBSD 4.4 machine. I can't connect from my Win98se and Win2kPro machines to my FreeBSD 4.4 Samba server. I've tried it all... but still no luck. I've run smbd and nmbd manually with the "-D" parameter. I can connect internally from my FreeBSD 4.4 box using "./smbclient

Hey all, As most of you know, I've been having problems (hopefully solved by now, won't know until friend is able to reshare his box) with SAMBA over the internet. On my local area network, I am using SAMBA for a one way connection just fine. my question is as follows. Can I make an fstab entry so I can mount the XP share whenever I boot? The reason I ask is because currently Wine

Hi, after installing samba i added the config mentioned above. tux / # smbclient -L GANDALF Connection to GANDALF failed tux / # smbclient -L "myip" Password: Domain=[MIDEARTH] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED Domain=[MIDEARTH] OS=[Unix]

The problem I''m solving here is that I have two different Rails applicatons that uses the same domain name. One handles the www (e.g. www.mycoolapp.com) and is used as the main site, and the other handles the user subdomains (e.g.. someuser.mycoolapp.com). The DNS stuff and the Apache virtual hosts were all set up, the two rails apps are in place in the file system, and the proper

Hi, I have a situation in the office where I temporarily need to provide additional clients access to a share on a Windows 2000 Professional box. 2000 Pro seems to only allow 5 clients to connect to a share and there is no faclity to allow more as best I can tell. Upgrading isn't really an option and as I said, this is a temporary need. I have a linux box as a gateway so I decided to map the

Hello, When copying files using the RedHat Samba client over Network we experience file copy times 5 times slower than we experience with other SAMBA clients. As a test file we are using a 45MB file. Using a HPUX samba client to a windows file server it takes approximately 1 minute to copy this file. Using a windows SAMBA client also takes about 1 minute to copy the file. Using the RHEL

Hi: I am running Samba 2.5 because SCO's skunkware version of 2.6 just would not run. I am running SCO OpenServer 5.04, which I wish there was a smbclient so that I could perform more adequate server side testing. I am currently faced with three issues which I have not found solutions too. 1. I the log.user name I have found the users do connect to the server but the log is full of the

section 13.3.2 of the HOWTO shows that i can add a user to a group with the following command: root# net rpc group addmem "MIDEARTH\Engineers" ajt -Uroot when i execute this command (replaced with my server specific values, of course), i get a NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER error. i can verify that my user DOES exist and that he belongs to the posix group account. i can also verify that the

I've recently purchased an Adaptec SNAP server to serve as a central file server for a 2500 machine, 7000 user network. My goal is for this server to serve as a backend file store to a number of other servers that the client machines will communicate with. In particular, I would like to have my current file server (which runs samba 3.0.10 in kernel 2.6.10-gentoo-r6) mount a share on the

Hi! I'm kinda new to Samba (only been playing with it for a couple of days) and I have run into some problems: I've got samba up and running on a machine known as 'Mail'. Here's my conf file: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = BOOKSYS.COM local master = No [test] comment = Test for Samba path = /home/johnny read only = No

Ever since installing Fedora 7, samba stopped showing the machine on the network. I can connect to it by entering the machine name (\\lazarus), but it will not show itself from a Windows machine. I tried a command suggested to test if it was listening and this is what I got; $ smbclient -L localhost -U% Domain=[LAZARUS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7] Sharename Type

Thanks Urban. I am now convinced that this problem is being caused by the reshare of the Novell drive. I have ended up copying the data (around 6Gb, 400,000 files) to the Windows 2000 server from the Novell server. I then mounted the Windows 2000 share using smbmount. Copying this has been a dream with no sign of any problems at all. I think we will have to put this down to the MS Gateway
