I am trying to set up a basic Samba server and configure it so that folders under a share cannot be deleted accidentally by a user. The ideal scenario would be to have the top-level folders under the share non-deleteable, but folders and files are able to be created under it. I cannot find any easy way of doing this directly, but thought that the use of the 'veto' option would work

Hi, I am trying to access folders on a windows system on a linux system using the command, smbmount '//a.b.c.d/CCViews/abcd/abcd_Linux_dev' '/root/pqrs/LinuxDev' -o username=abcd/<domain>,uid=abcd,gid=abcd This prompts for a password and I give the correct domain password here.

When trying to connect to the "Domain Controller" via the "Active Directory Users and Computers" on Windows, I get that "cannot connect to the pre-windows 2000 domain controller" under Windows, and the following on Samba's logs: [2004/11/25 02:21:11, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(328) New file netshellicon [2004/11/25 02:21:11, 3]

My WXPP PC cannot login to the Samba server although the Win2K and W9x PC's can. The XPP system has joined the domain, but when I rebooted the PC and tried logging in via the domain it complained about not having permission or an account which I've verified and have redone several times, but still I cannot login. Anyone have any information on how to fix this. --

Hi, I am posting this on the list after 2 weeks of frustrating efforts to get my XP home machine to talk to the Samba server on my SuSE 9.2 Linux box. Described below is the crux of the problem. When I do an smbclient on the Linux box I can see the Windows machine listed. However, when I do a net view on the Windows XP Home machine I do not see the Samba box. Also, I get a System 1 error on

dear samba users and developers, i'd like to put to you a proposal for your respectful consideration: it is an idea that i believe has strategic merit for the open source community and OS users as a whole. these words are chosen carefully and the reasons will become apparent later: that i begin as an example. as you are no doubt aware, there have been some seriously damaging (but not

I am a newbie to samba. I have successfully setup a similar samba share on 1 machine in the past. I have everything setup as User access with the pcguest as a guest account. If I create a share to the /tmp, network users can access normally. I created a directory /var/snd and set permissions to be rwxrwxrwx. I changed the smb.conf so that permission were identical to the share for /tmp. I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, all. I've been working on SWAT in trunk for the last few weeks.

I'm curious about how one would go about contacting/hiring a samba developer to fix a bug, or implement a feature. I've got a particular bug in mind (1493), but it seems like it would be a good thing to know in general. Thanks, Mark Roach

What's the trick to use testparm to clean up your smb.conf file?

I'm looking at having my general Samba users change their own passwords on my Linux server using SWAT. Is there a way that I can have them have access to the password changing view and not be able to see the configuration and status information. Is there an easy way for those "button" to not appear on the web page? Roy Costa roycosta at us.ibm.com

Curious what folks think the best choice of filesystem is, specifically when used for Samba and regular Unix users (SMB+NFS access). I'm using Reiser now but its slow and doesn't work good XP attributes. I've also used XFS (a couple of years ago) and liked it but had some troubles with cross-platform Unix and the extended ACLs. What's the preference today? Thanks -- Eric A.

I have activated the audit.so module and it logs information about file access but not in the format I want: it doesn't log the user name and host name who performed each action on a file or directory. How can I set the format of this log? About the recycle.so module, it works but not always. Some "Permission denied" lines appear in the logs regarding a file move towards .recycle.

Hi, I'm setting up Samba on a RH ES linux machine. I have basic functionality working and can access a share from a Windows pc. I set up smb.conf manually. I'd like to use SWAT but when I try to run it I get the error: -- The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:901 -- I set up the xinetd configuration file exactly as I've seen online. Webmin works fine.

I see a ton of past archive mails for pam_mkhomedir.so, but I don't see anyone else with my problem. Do others just not care that a bunch of extra folders with the machine names are getting created, or is it not happening for anyone else, and I have just done something wrong?
