similar to: how to check out samba-docs from SVN ?

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

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'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

Just a heads up that the new record label site for Vagrant Records runs on Rails and PostgreSQL. Right now it is FCGI based but we''re moving to Apache+Mongrel next week. It is looking like they are going to have the #1 selling album in the country this week with Dashboard Confessional''s new record. Just a note to let people know that Rails has penetrated Billboard!

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

We defined a share, sales_cifs_test, on our NetApp server. Note that the length of the name is longer than 13 characters. We can see the share with Microsoft Explorer. We can mount the share from Linux using smbmount. What we want to do is to get a list of shares from NetApp. The tools that can do this are the samba programs smbclient and net. Smbclient will not show names longer than 13

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.

Dear all, Is there a devel type list, as I can't see one in the mailing list section? I am trying to gather the CVS checkout info for the Samba docs to update the Samba-Guide/Happy.html section and also discuss the doc build-tree etc. Thanks. -- Kind Regards, Gavin Henry.

Okay guys, Im trying to get samba 3.0.23a to join a Windows Domain (no suprise right) Anyways, i ran "net rpc join -U [adminaccount]", it asked for the password to [adminaccount] and said the domain was joined. Then i ran "net ads join -U [adminaccount]", it asked for the passsword to [adminaccount] and after typing it in, it says [2006/08/07 10:35:56, 0]

I have a Samba PDC in a one way trust relationship with a Windows Server 2003 DC such that Samba is the Trusting Domain. With Samba 3.0.23d I always used to leave winbindd running during a restart of smbd/nmbd. With 3.0.25, I have found that the domain "breaks" if I do this. Denote the Samba domain by SAMBA and the (trusted) Windows domain WINDOWS. When the domain "breaks",
