Hello, My problem is the following : I have a Debian (testing distribution) on which I used to have Samba server v3.0.2a it worked perfectly with my other machine which is running Windows 2000. I recently made a global packages update on my Debian machine, which apparently changed the Samba server to 3.0.7 Since then, I have been absolutely unable to retrieve files from the debian server to the

This may be sorta off topic considering this is probably regarding the linux kernel but I am hoping someone here will have the answer anyway. I am having the strangest problem when mounting a samba share with "-t cifs" as opposed to "-t smbfs" where, instead of mounting as the user I am logged in as, it is mounted as if I were logged on as a completely different user. For

Description: Use schedule_timeout_{,un}interruptible() instead of set_current_state()/schedule_timeout() to reduce kernel size. Also use helper functions to convert between human time units and jiffies rather than constant HZ division to avoid rounding errors.

Please help me understand why I am unable to connect to and browse the newly configured DFS tree that I installed on my Samba server according to the instructions found in Chapter 18. "Hosting a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree" of the official how-to. Irrespective of whether I try to access the dfs file tree from either the local file browser (and choosing the SMB tree) or from

This problem began a couple months ago with my new install of (you guessed it) XP sp2. Now, when i mount a share from the xp machine to my debian box, everyone, including rot, gets a permission denied trying to ls the dir. I've read posts about switching to cifs, but that has opened a whole new can of worms. I'd just like to see smbfs mount my shares properly the way they used to. My

I have kernel 2.4.20-31.9smp, samba-3.0.7-1 and redhat linux and I have a problem like as " I'm having a real hair-raising problem here and I thought maybe someone could help. At least I hope so. My workstation was running 3.0.2a, upgraded to 3.0.5. After upgrading to 3.0.5, I can no longer mount shares on my 2003 server. This started happening on an upgrade to 3.0.4 as well, I

Hi, I'm running smbd 3.0.5 with kernel 2.4.26. I connect with a Linux-client (also samba 3.0.5 installed) on kernel 2.6.7 with this directive: mount -t smbfs -o uid=1005,username=joe,workgroup=lanz //prim/joe /mnt/test As a result, the directory /mnt/test is owned by uid=1005 but all the subdirectories and files in this directory are owned by uid 1001. This uid (1001) is that of joe on

Greetings, Last week I began researching Asterisk for the first time. I did what most noobs would do; downloaded an image that seemed simple and straightforward and had some credibility (*now). I also downloaded the TFOT version 1 as a guide. As questions arose, I tossed a few out in #asterisckNOW channel..and found it to be a ghost town. Only later did i start to ask a few

Hello list, is it possible to mount directly subdirectories from a Windows2000 share with smbmnt, like mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx \\\\server\\share\\subdir /mnt ?

SuSE 9.0 Pro - Kernel 2.4.21 - Samba 2.2.8a and 3.0.1-14 Here's my problem: On a box runninng XP, I have a shared folder which contains 130+ subdirectories. This share is mounted on my linux box from '/etc/smbfstab', but some directories do not show up in directory listings. It's never more than one, and which one varies, but generally seems to be in or near the last half of the

Hi I have a pb with large file on a RedHat 9/Reiseifs/Samba 3.0.1 server My linux server will be use for backup Oracle databases. There is files of 4 Gb but, when I connect to the Oracle 9i server I see files of 16 E. I have search in thousand threads in the forum, but it's still very confusing for me. - when doing ./configure samba indicate check for LFS -- yes - I connect to the win2k

I emailed about this before but didn't get any response. I am desperate. I can mount the share of any computer in the domain. XP (even with sp2), 2000, etc... everything works no problem. When I try to mount a share on a win2003 server, the command completes successfully, but when I try to view the folder, it is not showing. I have tried several variations of commands: mount -t smbfs -o

Hi all, recently I asked for help with a problem Samba had to write files (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-November/085003.html, http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-November/085083.html). Since that hasn't solved, and since it occurs regardless of changes of the smb.conf, I'd like to post some passages of the smb log file (log level 4) of the attempt to copy a file to

I have upgraded from a almost perfectly working Samba 2.2.8a to Samba 3.0.0, I wished to join my NAS servers to the domain and it seemed something to do with DNS authentication was stopping them from joining, so I upgraded to Samba 3 (not beta) I have searched the web for reasons for this stange behavior but could find no explaination or fix, there are however other people having the same

Hi Samba team, I feel user will feel more confortable when they can mount folder (via mount.cifs or mount.smbfs) under particular shared folder. Example: I have a share folder call department, all department's folder arrange inside so I have a share folder call \\server\department if I have a linux client under purchasing, I 2 command to get the correct place, and I feel it is giving more

Hi everybody! I had a problem (now solved) with the UIDs and GIDs assigned to my SMB filesystem once mounted. I have discovered several things and I wanted to send my review to the list, maybe you'll find it usefull or maybe you could add more info. First of all let's describe the problem: I mount my SMB share (SAMBA 3.0.14a server) on my local filesystem (Linux box), but
