similar to: Question about soft mounting samba shares...

I'm running FC3 with its bundled samba 3.0.11-fc3, and I'm trying to update to 3.0.14a. I've downloaded the rpms from samba.org, and (I think) I've backed up the original samba installation--/etc/samba--and I've stopped smb (I had to kill the smbd and nmbd processes; "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop" didn't work). I've also withdrawn (make uninstall) an

Hi, I am using Fedora Core 3 as a server for both Unix (Solaris and HPUX) and Windows Xp clients. The Unix clients view the files through an NFS v3 share, and windows client use samba (3.0.8-0.pre1.3). When looking at a directory from the server, or from a Unix client, I can see 132 files. However, from the Windows client, I can only see 65 files. There appear to be nothing special about the

We're running Fedora Core and Samba-3.0.8-0.pre1.3 and we're authenticating our Windows XP users against Active Directory running on Windows 2003. Everything works fine! But now we're trying to secure and harden our WinXP machines and now when any user logged into a secured WinXP they get the errormessage "The account is not authorized to log in from this station". I browsed

Hi there, I switched servers yesterday. The old server was running 2.2.7a-1 on RedHat 8.0. The new server is 3.0.8-0.pre1.3 on Fedora Core 3. I did the migration by copying the following: /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow /etc/samba/* I then copied /home and fixed all the permissions on stuff. I then started up samba on the new server, and unplugged the old one. Most everything went

I am unable to properly view ISO8859-15 characters (typicaly characters with accent such as ?, ?, ?...) from filenames on a samba server using fedora core 3. After spending hours on it, I have been unable to find a solution. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. Here is the description of my configuration: I have 3 machines running: - one server with fc3 - one PC "PC1" with

I'm using debian Sarge, Samba 3.0.6-3, Kernel 2.6.8 I use smbmount //server/share mymountpt -oguest which connects fine, but it all dies (hangs) if I try to look in that mounted directory with konqueror in kde OR nautillus in gnome. In dmesg of the server computer I get: smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-512, breaking and the same but with error -13 smb_add_request ... Timed Out! this last

Hello, I sent the following message to the Debian folks.

Hey folks, I've seen questions similar to this asked in the archives, but didn't really find a suitable answer. I'm trying to send backups to a Windows2000 share, and I'm having trouble with large files: [root@mail backups]# cp -R 20050208/ /mnt/backup/ File size limit exceeded It only copies 2,147,483,647 bytes, and the file is 5,030,998,091. I could split up

We have been using SAMBA for file/print servers and domain controllers in Windows networks for several years. At one site, we have intermittent problems in which the connection to the SAMBA server appears to die: i.e., no one can connect to the share, and the Windows clients (Terminal Servers and workstations) apparently keep re-trying to connect which ultimately locks up those clients.

Hi! I have a problem for a few weeks, and can't figure out what could be the problem. The client computer runs RHEL 5.2 (arch: x64_64); the smb server is unknown for us. I'm sorry, that I can't provide any info (usernames, servernames, IPs, etc), they are masked to look like variables. But they are correct as far as i am concerned. When I try to mount it with mount.cifs (.smbfs

Hello, Recently, the following problem started happening with a particular samba server: If i have a file open for reading (say, a pdf in xpdf) and then try to write to it (say, through recompiling a latex document) it complains that it cannot open the file for writing. this seems like a file lock issue but I am unsure where it is happening. My previous usage should be perfectly safe since

Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...

I have recently set up a basic file and print server at my office using Fedora Core 3 and Samba 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3 . We have a variety of clients (1 X WinXP Pro, 1 X Win XP Home, 3 X Win 2k, 1 X Win 98). I can access all file shares on the server from all clients with no problems. I can print to our Samsung ML-2150 printer (connected to the server via USB) from all clients except the Windows 98

Hi list. I am wondering if I am running the right software to get my windows 7 shares mounted. could someone please tell me, what is the difference between samba, and smbclient? at the moment, I have samba and smbclient installed. I also have smbfs installed, though I understand this is deprecated, I just thought I might be able to get smbfs to work whereas I can't get samba, smbclient and

Hi, I was trying smbmount (SuSE's samba-client-3.0.20b-3.4). The mount command replied: cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 9451: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed No I'd suggest to change the message at least: It's unclear who "we" is: The Samba Team, the client, or the server The server is a "Windows 2003 server",

Hi! I've just searching the list archives but cannot solve my problem with mounting samba (v3.0) shares back on linux (RH 8.0 and 9). Mounting on Win clients works fine and any filenames (including long names with non-ascii chars and spaces) are perfictly supported and accessed. Mounting the share back on (even the same) linux box is a complex task. I use: mount -t smbfs -o guest

I just finished ripping a bunch of FLAC files from CDs through CDex by using an external encoder, sending the wav file to stdin (FLAC 1.1.2) and I get this weird 1/2 second repeat right at the end of the song that is from a second or two from the end... for example, Shania Twain sings "I feel like a woman!... a wom..." ... I get that extra "a wom..." at the end. Every song I

Hello all, I have 2 identical Dell r510 servers with 10gig card, running centos 6 with samba-3.5.4-68.el6_0.2.x86_64. I setup 16G ramdisk samba share on both and ran cp from local ramdisk to samba ramdisk mount. If I cp 12 1-gig files, I get combined 100MB/s transfer rate. Single file cp maxes out at about 15MB/s. Ftp transfer give me over 300MB/s. Running with 9000 MTU. Most smb.conf is

Does samba 3.0.23c not support the use of O_DIRECT? When I try to open an smbmount'd file using O_DIRECT, I get EINVAL. I am able to use O_DIRECT with no problems on a block device and nfs mounts, so I know the kernel supports it. samba: 3.0.23c kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL (32-bit) I am using the below code for my test. smb fails on open(2). #include <fcntl.h> #include
