hi all, I'm using the official wine-20041201-0.1 on Sue 9.1 (i386). I used winetools 2.10 to facilitate my wine installation and it was a godsand. I have installed Office 2000 and so far so good, but I like to extend my wine functionality just a bit more. I like to install Acrobat 5 (not reader) with PDFWriter on my wine installation. The problem I have is that, during the

Hi all, I have had this issue for a really long time that I had a workaround for, but this workaround has caused more harm than good. The issue is when mapping 'LPT1' I know this is a local LPT port, etc and I know that non-administrators cannot map this port. The port is needed by a legacy application, and it cannot be changed until this application goes the way of all things. So,

On our old Novell-2.2 server we had a program called CAPTURE to redirekt the printer output of DOS programs to the network printer. (Some old DOS programs only know LPT1:) Now i am locking for a CAPTURE replacement for our new Samba server. I tested PRINDIR Version 9.0 and LPTTOFL Version 1.0 out of a DOS-Box within WIN 3.11 and WIN 95. Both programs work fine with pure DOS but have timing

I am currently testing our company's software with Vista RC-1 and I've run into a snag I cannot Authenticate a Printer connection to a Samba server on a dos prompt I can connect to the printer using the GUI for windows printing But i Cannot map the printer to an LPT port Every windows out there will connect to this box , from 95 thru to 2000, XP and even Server 2003. But not Vista (as an

Hi, I recently did a complete upgrade and reinstall of one of our Samba servers. No problem, I backed up all the data, the Samba configuration files, and the secrets.tdb. Just compiled 3.0.8 on the new server (which has the same hostname), copied the smb.conf to /usr/local/samba/lib and copied th secrets.tdb to /usr/local/samba/private. Started Samba, did 'net getlocalsid' and it

Hello, I've got a problem with printing on a Windows 2K box. Printing from that box to a samba server via the normal print mechanism works fine. The problem is when the person needs to print to a lpt port. The capture succeeds, but when the file is copied to lpt2 it never gets printed. There are other machines that can do the capture and copy to the lpt port but they are Win 9x. The

Hello, Hello, I am running Samba version 2.2.8a, cups 1.1.19 and esp print pro version 4.3.1 on my server, which is running Slackware 9.1 and Canon BJC-85 USB printer as default printer on the server and kernel 2.4.22 I can connect and print to the server using smbclient, but I cannot figure out what to put in the CUPS configuration, or the /etc/samba/smb.conf to print to this printer all

"lpt1" through "lpt9" and "com1" through "com9" are in fact "special" file names under various versions of Microsoft Windows. However, "R Extensions" says only that "lpt1" through "lpt4" and "com1" through "com3" cannot be used as filenames, and "R CMD check" checks for just these

Not sure if this is where I should ask about this, but if I try to run any of the smbldap-* scripts, I get the following kind of output: oink:/usr/local/sbin # ./smbldap-populate Using builtin directory structure erreur LDAP: Can't contact master ldap server (IO::Socket::INET: Bad protocol 'tcp') at /usr/local/sbin//smbldap_tools.pm line 153. I feel like this must be from a typo

Hello, I encountered a problem while I tried to get domain logons with logon scripts to work. It occurs on Win98SE only, as far as my tests. Domain logon is ok, but sometimes while executing the logon script windows is unable to redirect LPT ports to a print share using: net use lpt1: \\samba\printer I get: "Share name was not found on the network. retry/abort" (a translation from

Hi, I have an issue in dos printing. My okidata dot matrix printer is directly connected to linux box and is a shared printer in samba . I am using lprng. My problem is with dos printing. When i print, it spools first indicated in the windows printer window. It takes a minute before it actually sends to the linux box, you will see an indicator of spooled bytes. Once it is submitted it prints

Hi, I've just moved a second Samba domain to LDAP -- it works great! However, the first domain is now dead in the water. It refuses to autenticate, and from the logs it looks like it's not find the SambaDomainName entry in the LDAP tree. Here is a diagram of how my LDAP tree is set up. dc=mycompany,dc=com |___ ou=computers |___ ou=people |___ ou=groups |___ sambaDomain=domain1 |___

I am using Samba PDC with OpenLDAP2 and smbldap-tools. As part of my logon.bat, I call a script called ifmember.exe. This script can list out the groups a user is a member of. It is reporting that my root user is a member of the group 'engr.' I don't know if this is a bug with ifmember.exe or if it's an issue in Samba or in LDAP. Here is some relevant data:

Hi all, I have been working on this for days to no avail. I am unable to join any machine to my domain. I think the server's machine password got corrupted but don't know how to change it. From the PDC, I try: oink:/usr/local/src/samba-3.0.12/source # net join PDC Password: Could not connect to server CORPSRV The username or password was not correct. From a member server, I try:

I am continuing to struggle with a strange SAMBA Printing problem. Here are the details: 1) NT based clients can log on as guests or as users and can print in either case with no problems. 2) Windows 9x clients can log in as either guest or as users and can access shares with no problems. 3) Windows 9x clients attempting to print directly to the SAMBA printer hang the print process and

Can someone verify that testparm in 3.0.7 always reports the [printers] share as browseable = no ? I think this is a bug in 3.0.7. It might be affecting smbclient listing of printer shares too. Misty

When I used smbldap-populate way back when I set up my LDAP server, I got two sambaDomainName objects in my LDAP tree -- one for the domain name (CORP) and one for the PDC Netbios name (CORPSRV). My Windows XP systems complain that they can't find the PDC for the domain CORPSRV. I am wondering if I even need the second sambaDomainName in LDAP at all. Any ideas? Misty

Is there such a thing as a Samba logoff script? I am currently using [NETLOGON] for logon scripts, but for the adding and removing of printers via WSH, I'd prefer to also remove these printers after I log off. ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | | Ryan Novosielski - Jr. UNIX Systems Admin |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| | novosirj@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/

In short this is the problem. The XP Home machine called "misty" cannot see any other machines. It cannot see the Linux machines and it cannot see the XP Home machines or the XP Pro machine. In spite of this blindness it can map to all the XP machines and define so-called network places. But "misty" cannot map through the SAMBA protocal used by the Linux machines to make

Hi all, I have been having the weirdest network browsing problems on my network the past week. Come to find out the wins.dat file got corrupted. Removing that file fixed everything. Because our systems typically have uptimes measured in months rather than days, and it is difficult for me to restart Samba except as a scheduled task (which I'm afraid to do because there are users who
