Hi, 1) Creating a Folder on a my samba share works in general via WinXP, but setting the permission doesn't. On the new Folder <right click>+<properties>+<security tab> doesn't show any selected check boxes. After selecting a check box + <Apply> doesn't "save" it. I have to do this a 2nd time and then it work. 2) Can't select the permissions

Hello mailinglist, I have a strange problem, which occurs sometimes on some WinXP clients. It is not 100% reproducable for me, but it returns regular. The problem is, that somehow a user can't delete a directory. All files in the directory will be removed successfully, but the directory itself not. Deleting with the Explorer or over the cmd-console returns in the same result. First the

Hello, I'm running Samba 3.6.6-1 on my x64 Arch Linux installation. I recently decided to have my samba share support NTFS's Alternate Data Streams by using streams_xattr or streams_depot. With streams_xattr I discovered that if I copy a file having an ADS from a win7 box, on the linux console, I can see the ADS as an xattr attached to the file. However when I copy the file back to my

Hi list, I am trying to track down a printer-related problem. The most important symptom is a smbd process using almost all memory on my machine (up to 800 MB, at the specific case of which I've posted the logs.) At some point the VM will kill the smbd process, freeing the memory. Apart from this, samba keeps on running fine. Investigation of a level 3 debug log of this process has shown

I've battled this one for a few days now and its costing my sanity so I am hoping that someone here has an answer I am running the samba server 3.0.4 on a linux 2.4.25 server. I can connect to my share point and authenticate fine I can create files or directories in the root of the sharepoint fine I can go into subdirectories and look at all the files... But I cannot create in any

My Windows XP SP3 clients aren't loading their logged_in_username.bat from my netlogon share, and I can't figure out why. It looks like in the log file the Windows PCs are loading the script, its just not executing it on the windows PCs for some reason, but if I click start, run, and type in \\roark\netlogon\scripts\jholland.bat it runs fine. Running samba 3.0.31 and here's the

Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro. This application is entirely installed in a Windows share and it has a hystory of strange phenomenons. Initially it ran fast on an old NT server (but that server has been replaced). It has strange performance problems with Windows 2000 Server: it runs fast with some servers and slow with

Hi, my details: Server: 3.2.3 Client: win2k8 When I try list contents of a shared directory through an ASP script (win2k8 is the client), it's take much time and on samba I saw many times (4 times for each file) the same error: "fill_share_mode_lock failed" I tried "shares mode = No" but no success It's the log: ...:49, 3]

Issue: unix fifo (named pipe) does not appear in share, attempts to read the pipe result in "Access Denied" >From an XP laptop, I can open and access my samba share normally. I can read all files and subdirectories in the share, but a fifo I need to read does not appear at all. I have made the fifo mode 777 (world readable, writeable, executeable) and tried other things like

Setup: - Samba 3.5.6 (Debian Stable release, amd64); - Testing Windows 7 client behaviour, specifically with regard to users who don't yet have profiles. The Windows docs state that a domain logon for a new user will cause the default network profile to be used if available, if not then a default local profile is used instead. The location for the default network profile is

Hi, I just compiled samba 3.0.23 on our Sun Solaris 8 server. 3.0.22 was running fine and I used the same compiler options for 3.0.23. $ ./configure --with-acl-support --prefix=/usr/local/samba3023 --with-quotas --with-included-popt --without-ldap --with-vfs gcc version 3.4.2 GNU Make 3.80 Running make now throws a lot these warnings: [-snip-] Linking nsswitch/libnss_wins.so ld: warning:

When I type the user name and password to logon onto our network (samba is the pdc) it takes a long time to login. How can I go about speeding this up? Is it a Win Xp issue or do I need to tweak samba? Also, when I login in to an XP machine I get a script (looks like some sort of logon script) that shows up in notepad on the desktop and stays there until I close it. What is this and how can I

I have setup samba with msdfs, and configured it. The problem is that it works with some windows 2000 workstations, but not with others, even if they are at the same service pak levels. I.e, I have workstation a and workstation b, both running 2000. On workstation a, I can map the dfs share to a drive, and be able to access everything in that share (which is different shares on different

Hello list, I have tried rather much (forums, google) and trying this as the last option. The problem is that one is not able to access "group" samba shares from windows 7 machines, everything ok from win-ts-2003 & xp machines. Every user belongs to his primary group defined in samba+openldap pdc. If they want to access the share named according to their primary group (with

Hi all I am fairly new to samba and XP. I have a client who we set up a samba server for, they are complaining about documents taking about 30 secs -2-3mins to open but only sometimes (it can be very frequent). I have seen this and captured a piece of the log file I wonder if any one can make any sense of it... I have been looking on the net and trying various things all day but to no avail...

I'm not sure if this is a samba problem or just a problem with the app. I'm unable to an application from a shared drive "\\ucd01\protel\". I've mapped the network drive "k:\protel\"and the apps ini file points to it but gives me an error message suggesting it can't see the drive. XP can however and I can browse it in explorer. A strange thing is that when I

Hello list :) I am having issues setting the "read-only" flag via Windows Explorer on my AIX Samba share and I was hoping someone out there would be able to point me into the right direction to solving this issue... I have on my AIX 7.1 system installed Samba 3.6.24 and configured, joined to our Windows domain successfully. The samba binaries I got from perzl.org/aix In my smb.conf I

<Long Post, sorry!> Folks, I have a really nasty problem preventing me from migrating a bunch of NetWare 5 servers to Samba--attempts to copy large (> 2MB+) files to any samba share results in an error. To clarify what I mean by "error": 1. I attempt to copy, using explorer, a 2MB+ file to any samba share. 2. A 30 second or so pause occurs (copying this file to any other

Hi List, I have an appliance ("the client") which mounts a CIFS share from a Samba server - the Samba server usually runs on an Ubuntu system. Within the client, the root user executes a mount command like this: mount.cifs \\UBUNTUSERVER\archive /tmp/Default \ -o noserverino,user='someuser',pass='somepassword',uid='50',gid='7' That uid/gid pair
