ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha and mirror sites 1) i fixed a problem with nmbd's GETDC response, it is responding better but still not perfectly (and 2.0.x and cvs main need to be fixed, as well) as there exists no explanation for the correct response to locate a Domain Controller using GETDC. the upshot of fixing this is that joining an nt workstation to a TNG domain is now _extremely_

I am delighted to be able to tell you that I have taken a decision to relinquish Copyright ownership of all Samba-related code that I have ever written. I would like to take this as an opportunity to formally request the Samba Team to reopen the case for forming an ASF-like "Samba Software Foundation". As you are no doubt aware, I started work on NT Domain analysis in 1997, with Paul

i started on the nt domains for unix project on the basis of paul ashton's enthusiastic and "this can't be too hard" attitude, back in august 97. since then, with the encouragement of a number of people over the last three years, and with the discouragement of others, the nt domains protocols are now pretty well understood. due to that constant discouragement, i no longer find

Luke Leighton (lkcl) has brought up his arguments about control of Samba before. In October 2000 they resulted in the creation of a new Samba code branch, samba-tng, which Luke and others who agreed with his direction were free to do with as they will. Samba-tng still exists, and we in the Samba Team still wish it well, but what we can't continue to put up with is Luke still rehashing the

i have a question for the people who sponsor the samba team. "when are you going to realise that your money is being wasted by not sponsoring me as a design architect on NT compatibility software suites for unix?" here - yet again, another demonstration of how much money you have been wasting. hopefully this time this "really new" proposal - i.e. yet ANOTHER idea and

Hello, How can I allow users to use the Administrator accounts on their local machines and login into the samba PDC? Background: We use NT wks and Win2000, and want to locally log into those machines as Administrator. This creates a problem because there can only be one password for Administrator in smbpasswd, yet each user has a different password for Administrator on their local machine. Thx

Hi. Myself and a anti-Micro$oft companion tried to get NT domain logons working yesterday and seem pretty close, but not quite. Samba is 1.9.18alpha3, server is an Ultra-2 running SunOS 5.5.1. Encrypted passwords seem to be working, a la smbclient and mostly from NT, "mostly" because it *seemed* to be working but we did have some problems with home directories in smbpasswd changing

Hi, I've cross-posted this to freedesktop@, as the xdg@ list is only used for actual specification development.

I am the sysadmin in an office with an overabundance of Win95 machines and a few NT 4.0 workstations. All installs went relatively easy for logon scripts, wins, etc. I have run into a semi-serious problem with 2 of the 3 NT workstations. (All running the same service pack - 1). When trying to make a share from one of the 2 remaining workstations, I will recevie an error message saying that:

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the string that appears in browser lists restricted to being a single string without spaces, or can you include spaces ? I have samba v1.9.15p8 running on a SGI O2 system, and I'm accessing its filesystems from a W95 PC. I started off with the following line in my /etc/init.d/samba script NMBD_OPTS="-C11th Floor SGI O2" which results in

hi, am starting to play with XEN - the virtualisation project (http://xen.sf.net). i''ll give some background first of all and then the question - at the bottom - will make sense [when posting to lkml i often get questions asked that are answered by the background material i also provide... *sigh*] each virtual machine requires (typically) its own physical ram (a chunk of the

folks, hi, this is a fairly important issue for python development interoperability - martin mentioned that releases of mingw-compiled python, if done with a non-interoperable version of msvcrt, would cause much mayhem. well, compiling python on mingw with msvcr80 _can_ be done; using it can also be a simple matter of creating a python.exe.manifest file, but i can't actually do any testing

folks hi, something i just wanted to double-check. is it possible to use, with LLVM, entirely free software tools to build and upload to a xilinx microblaze FPGA target? i take some c code, put it through llvm-fpga, aaand... then what? is there any documentation about this stuff, anywhere? tia, l.

hi out there, first of all: samba is pretty cool! question: is there a way to synchronize the clock of my linux box to a win95 box (something like 'smbnet time \\win95 /set /yes')? cheers jodok ;----------------------------------- Jodok Sutterluety Austria, Vienna Tel: ++43 1 4080791 email: js@bonus.unterland.at ;-----------------------------------

guus, i just compiled latest cvs: the bug is still there. the diffs i have against what i got from cvs and what is debian 1.0.2_2 show that the only significant addition is of an AF_UNKNOWN and its use, and the use of a tinc- defined sockaddrfree (and copy?) i'm still getting some "Bogus packets" using latest cvs. i _am_ however, it appears... just now... actually getting valid
