Hi, I've a samba-3.0.2a running perfectly on redhat-8. Filesystem is EXT3 with ACL support. I can't upgrade the PDC to 3.0.3 or 3.0.4, because shares are only read-only. In 3.0.3 only home share and temp share are writable. All other shares are in read-only mode. Users can see the files/directories, but can't save anything or create new items. When trying to create a new item -

When i login to the XP box under root all is OK. logon script is working, but it's totally not working under all other users. turning on debugging reveals that under non root it's incorrectly parsing the logon script name from config (adding full network path to filename) unix_convert called on file

Hello, I first posted this question to the IRC but it was suggested I also post here for better visibility. I am currently having a bit of trouble with Gluster, Samba, and the VFS plug-in between them. I am also posting this to the Gluster mailing list. The behavior I am seeing is that by using the samba-vfs-gluster plug-in the case sensitivity setting for Samba breaks in a subtle but noticeable

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

Hello everybody, I have to face a problem here with a samba share disconnecting after about 10 minutes. Situation: - debian woody, samba 3.0.14a - server configured as PDC - typically 100-150 smbd processes running everything runs smoothly but one client (W2K SP4) that obviously needs a quasi static connection to the PDC.

I'm trying to get Samba 3.0.28 to work as an MS Dfs root providing a share that links home directories to the actual servers they reside on. Unfortunately, when I access the share from a Windows XP client, and try to open one of the directories, the client gives an error that it "refers to a location that is unavailable". I've done a lot of searching, and found a number of
