I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

Question regarding file permissions on Samba 3.0.22: Using a Windows XP client when I attempt to change the file permissions of a directory (or any single file for that matter) once I click the 'OK' button the properties window closes as expected, but upon opening the security permissions tab again I notice the permissions have revented back to how they were beforehand. If I click

Greetings, in our small network with about 10 Clients I got a problem when opening files or directories. If there were no actions between server and client for about 2 minutes or more, the very first action (open file, change path, etc) needs a long long time. The problem occurs on some clients (win 2k/xp), but not on every client. I tried a working smb configuration from home, but still no

Hi, First of all, thx for fast answering. > I hope that the above commands are really right, because you said folder_a but the name of the folder is "folderA". Sorry, the commands are right :) > The all other things include the groupmaps? What do you mean... when i uses the command "./net groupmap list", i get the following back

Hi, we have a strange samba locking problem with version 3.0. Sometimes user only get a read only access to files. This happens with different users on different clients. Unix permissions are OK. I have realy no idea. Can you help ? Thanx Peter Huber -------------- next part -------------- [2004/03/02 15:03:56, 5] smbd/uid.c:change_to_root_user(217) change_to_root_user: now uid=(0,0)

Dear Jeremy: We use samba 2.2.12 as our samba server, and it worked perfectly before, but now there is one security problem found in samba 3.0 now, so we worry about our samba server, but for some reason we can't update to samba 3.0.25, so can you tell us whether the problem be existent in samba 2.2.12, or how can I test our samba server with some tools software?

Greetings, I am running 2.2.7a as a domain controller on RH 8.0 When I attempt to create a folder I get the following "warning" "You may not be able to access the files created in the folder .... Do you want to continue?" If I continue everything goes file (the folder is created and I can access it). I find a file in there called TESTDIR.TMP. I thought it may have been a

When I try to open a specific file from a samba share (LSP), the application (on WINXP) says that it could not open the file. The errors pasted below (from the smb client) show something different from anything I've seen before. Usually these kinds of problems are straight forward. In other words, usually this is a permission issue. In this case, it is not. I am trying to open a file

Hi, I've a samba-3.0.2a running perfectly on redhat-8. Filesystem is EXT3 with ACL support. I can't upgrade the PDC to 3.0.3 or 3.0.4, because shares are only read-only. In 3.0.3 only home share and temp share are writable. All other shares are in read-only mode. Users can see the files/directories, but can't save anything or create new items. When trying to create a new item -

In a follow-up to a previous post a couple weeks back, we've implemented a Samba 3.0.20 (Suse packages on 10.0 - recompiled to include idmap_rid) server to replace the Windows 2000 file server in our Win2003 Active Directory. For the most part things have been going well, but occassionally people will get access denied errors to things that they were accessing just fine minutes before. With

dear all, i'm running samba (3.0.10-1.4E.2, original update packet from RHEL 4) on RHEL 4 U2 and as member of a active-directory (smb.conf: security = DOMAIN). it works fine for some days but after that the number of running smbd's increases until the machine reaches some process-limits.... strace of one of the hanging smbd's shows: (atpcw6zc)/var/log/samba# strace -f -p 2341

Hi all, I have a problem with samba : I can create files, but can't create directories. The server has many shares, on seperated disks. We consider two of them : one 2Tb share and one share with more than 7Tb. Samba configuration is good, and works on many other servers, and on this one except for the large share. Permissions are correctly setted up too. I can read/write files and

Slowly making progress with Active Directory integration. I have Samba 3.0.2 as an ADS member, and I can see shares, including user home directories. My linux boxes run Debian unstable, and use the PAM and NSS LDAP backends, against an Active Directory on Windows 2000 SP4, using the MS Services For Unix V2.0 schema updates. PAM-authenticated login, ssh etc. all work fine, although I did have to

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:

I can authenticate at the smb level, but there's something wrong at the posix level when I try to edit or create files.

Hello all, I've already searched the old topics about this subject on the newsgroup, and haven't found so far an alternative to solve the problem. I have a Samba PDC (domain JMU) with Mandriva 2006, samba 3.0.13-2 and OpenLDAP 2.2.23 (nss_ldap 220) . Packages installed on the server related to samba and ldap: samba-swat-3.0.13-2.1.102mdk samba-server-3.0.13-2.1.102mdk

I could still really use some help here.... After spending hours on this, I have determined that it's only my user account that is having this problem. Everyone else can access 700 files/directories owned by them just fine. Thinking of perhaps a UID conflict somewhere, even though there didn't appear to be one, I deleted my account and recreated it with a new UID, copied everything

Hi! I'm trying to set up a msdfs to complete the move of our id-department fileshares from a win2003 server to samba. But it doesn't work and from what I can understand when reading the logs Samba doesn't make any attemt to connect the share on the other server. So, my question is, how can I confirm that msdfs acctually are compiled into my samba-version? I add a trace from the
