Does somebody know if the Samba Client in MAC OS X (10.3.4 and 10.3.5) has problems looking at Linux-based Samba shares that are larger than 2 TB? I have Samba 3.0.2 running on my Linux box. I have never had any difficulty with the Mac seeing a 2 TB RAID array on the Linux box, but when the Mac looks at the 4 TB array, it can see all the contents and create folders but it can't create

My problem appears to be too simple to be addressed in the documentation, being a linux-to-linux problem. This is a mixed home lan, but the majority of file sharing is done between three linux boxes. All three have a public directory, but the one on box1 is mainly used for file sharing. All of this worked well with our old Samba 2 setup, but has now gone to pieces. Two of the boxes are

Hello group, I am working on a test installation of Samba 3.0.10 on FreeBSD 5.3 as potential solution to some of our current file server problems. One of the main ones being good 'ole Win2000 Services for Macintosh - which we would like to dump completely. Here's the situation. We have a handful of Mac machines, all recently taken to 10.3.7 (10.3.8 upgrade is pending) which currently

Hi All, I have upgraded a customer from windows 2000 to samba 3.0.4 on fedora core 2. Second copy refuses to work. The log files seem to indicate that it's trying to access the sharename minus one character. Second Copy tech support are idiots, of course.... Basically we have a share called data. When trying to access the share from second copy the log says can't see service

I am having the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this yet? At home on my workgroup style network, this works fine. At work on my domain style network, I can connect to most of the computers and servers except a few. When I mount the windows share, the folder I mounted to disappears from Konqueror view. In a terminal window, the folder is not visible either. It doesn't appear

I have spent most of the past 24 hours reading various samba docs and searching google for help -- but can't find a solution. Suggestions and solutions would be appreciated. I have set up a Linux Box (Samba 3.02) as a PDC with roaming profiles. (I haven't upgraded, because this box is a model for over 100 other boxes in the field). I can add XP users to the domain and their roaming

Do anyone have any experience using 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections with Samba? Specifically, if you have had such an experience, can you share what sorts of optimizations you made to get the maximum data transfer between server and workstation? I am just experimenting with this kind of setup myself and I see a huge GULF between the raw TCP/IP transfers that I can make between two

I recently upgraded from Samba 3.0.2a to Samba 3.0.11. I didn't change anything in my smb.conf file. But Now, when a user logs on to my Linux server and access a Samba share, in the log file for that machine there is always a message repeated twice: [2005/03/16 05:40:23, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused As

Can anybody explain why SOME Windows XP applications have trouble writing files larger than 2 GB (or sometimes larger than 4 GB) to Linux Samba shares, when OTHER Windows applications on the same machine do not have difficulty writing large files to the same Samba share? And when the underlying Linux filesystem supports very large files? I have sometimes even found that a SINGLE Windows

Hello, Which port Smb4K uses? I am not able to use Smb4K on my server for the local network. Thanks Varun

Hi, Is there a simple way to set up Samba so that users ONLY see the shares that belong to them? I'm not talking about the user's HOME directory. But lets say I have 60 shares in my smb.conf file. To make it less confusing for users when they access the Samba server from Windows, I want the users to ONLY see the shares that belong to them. So, I want to set up each share so that

Can somebody tell me how to get samba to ask me for a username and password when I click on my Samba server in Windows XP Explorer? When I click on another computer on the network (Workstation A) from a workstation (Workstation B) where I'm NOT logged in with a username:password that Workstation A recognizes as having an account, I get a dialog box asking me for a username and password.

I have Samba 3.0.0 installed on Mandrake 9.2. I also have Samba 2.8.8a installed per instructions from Mandrake -- but I do NOT start Samba 2.8.8a automatically. In fact, I don't use it at all. Maybe I should uninstall the Samba 2.8.8a rpm??? I will update to 3.0.1 as soon as an rpm is available from Mandrake. Anyway, I have a problem when I try to add a new share to my smb.conf file. I

Thanks Bart for your answer. I did what you say force create mode = 0770 (default creat mask = 0744) but the files that are created are still with the rights rwx rwx r-- Strange !

Hi, I am trying to optimize my gigabit network. I have two Intel 1000 MT Gigabit Server Adapters, which support Jumbo Frames -- as well as a Switch that supports Jumbo Frames. However, I am observing some strange behavior in my file transfers from Windows XP to Linux and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the way the Samba variables are set on my Linux box? The "strange

I have a different Samba and Mac OS 10.3 question. I have a small network in my office with a Linux box acting as a file server, mostly Windows XP clients, and a couple of Macs. When I create Samba shares on the Linux box, I have no problem getting my Windows XP users to be able to read and write to the shares. The login name and password on the XP boxes are the same as the corresponding

I am trying to get smb4k (KDE) client working. It displays the computers on the network but not the shares (localhost has the only share that shows up :-(). The command line may give a clue. This works: # smbclient -L //compaq but it prompts me for a password but I can just press return to get a list of shares.

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

Does anybody have any insight into what could be causing this strange problem? I have Samba 3.02 (sorry, can't upgrade right now). My Linux box is running Mandrake 10 Official. I have Samba configured as a PDC. I can successfully add machines to my Domain -- and log on as ANY user from ANY machine. However on a SINGLE MACHINE, when I log on as USER_1 and access that user's roaming

i've browse the web and found 'Smb4K - An SMB share browser for KDE' since this is something similar like a windows sharing this would be safer for our newbie(unix) users but i have problem installing the package =========== checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (headers and libraries) not found.
