Howdy People, I have a problem with roaming profiles in samba 3.0.5 on redhat9 ( installed from the rpm with rpm -Uv samba.3.0.5.rpm I am not using LDAP ( dont know how and as I am a Netware person on a very steep learning curve with Samba, didn't want to complicate the installation after seeing every second posting on this list as a ldap problem). The smb.conf file is listed below. The

I am running a Snap 4200 fileserver, which is a network appliance that uses Samba to share files on a windows network. I've been experiencing slow performance on the Snap. The issue started suddenly 5 to 6 weeks ago, so I don't think it's a performance-related problem. I SSHed into the unit and noticed some odd errors in the samba event logs. They look something like this:

We are trying to add remote PC access to a printer using Samba and the Network Neighborhood. We are running Solaris 2.5.1 on our server and our PCs are running Win95. We have installed Samba 1.9.16p2. I'm fairly new at administering Samba. The printer is a high-quality color Tektronics Phasor 450 PostScript printer named hq_color_fl2. Access to our other printers has been set up previously

First, my installation is samba 2.2.8 running as a daemon (not inetd) on Solaris 8 configured to use a WINS server and provide authentication via a PDC (same host as WINS server).

Hi all Follow up to this post, as it didn't seem to go through the first time. We have a common problem occurring with our Samba setups. We run 3 (identical) processing environments that each contain a Samba host sharing approx .5TB of data to 6 Wintel machines. Normally these hosts operate fine, though we intermittently experience a Samba panic (intermittent = every 2-3 days) as per below.

Hello, I have problems setting up a canon multifunction ir7200. When I print the windows test page, I have something like "smiley" "arrow" "arow" "smiley" "arrow" name_of_the_samba_spool "smileys" driver.dll etc,etc,etc, on a single line. Did somebody used such a multifunction with Samba ? Below is a (long) description of what I did. I

Hi, I'm having an issue trying to make a Windows machine sambaserveroin a Samba domain. Samba is running with LDAP backend (OpenLDAP). When I try to join the domain, Windows says that the machine account does not exist. The machine account, however, is successfully created in the LDAP directory after the join fails. When I try to join again, Windows says that the account already exists.

Everyone, I am hoping that someone can help me. I have been trying for several weeks to get Samba working to no avail. I have consulted many online help files including the ones located at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html, browsing.txt that comes with samba, http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf, and a few others. I have even posted a previous message, which

I am having issues getting my Windows clients (all WinXP) in a 2003 AD domain to transparently authenticate to my Samba (version 3.0.10-1.4E.2) server. I had this previously working before I changed the name of the server. After changing the name of the server in smb.conf, I ran the same init commands such as kinit, net ads join, and so on. I had also deleted the previous computer object in AD,

Hi, my dovecot installation dovecot-2.0.9-19.el6_7.2.x86_64 can't authenticate using winbind from 4.4.3, but it can with winbind from 4.4.2. 4.4.3: May 5 22:11:07 sambaserver auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): getting password (0x00000010) May 5 22:11:07 sambaserver auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth): pam_get_item returned a password May 5 22:11:07 sambaserver auth: pam_winbind(dovecot:auth):

But the win wks on the other subnet is configured to use my SAMBASERVER as its WINS SERVER, and it is configured using the IP Adress of the SAMBASERVER and not the name. Shouldn't this do the trick? win wks is on a wireless subnet and hence runs at 11 MBPS, while the SAMBASERVER is on a wired subnet. I read somewhere that windows does some kind of "optimization" with slow networks.

Could you see if anything useful in the logs indicating why the ACL was not returned? Instructions are at: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting#Enabling_Debugging (it is easier for newer kernels due to dynamic tracing e.g. "trace-cmd record -e cifs" but even with these older kernels it should be enough information in the dmesg logs - if not a wireshark trace

This worked great last time I figured what do I have to loose... I can mount to myself mount -t //sambaserver/dir /test/samba this works fine...I even have username and passwords going through a win nt box.

Hi All, I've been looking into a problem using the .NET FileSystemWatcher class in a VB application. The application is only receiving notifications for events in the root of the directory it is watching. E.g. When monitoring \\SambaServer\Files <file:///\\SambaServer\Files> \\SambaServer\Files\file.txt <file:///\\SambaServer\Files\file.txt> will give notifications but not
