I have a different Samba and Mac OS 10.3 question. I have a small network in my office with a Linux box acting as a file server, mostly Windows XP clients, and a couple of Macs. When I create Samba shares on the Linux box, I have no problem getting my Windows XP users to be able to read and write to the shares. The login name and password on the XP boxes are the same as the corresponding

Hi. I'm running Samba 3.0.2 (a?) on Linux. For the most part, it's working great. I have set up Samba as a PDC and also just as a workgroup server. However, under both scenarios I'm seeing a troublesome behavior with Windows XP machines that have many users who frequently log on and log off. If User A logs off Windows XP and User B logs on 30 or 40 seconds later, sometimes

I have spent most of the past 24 hours reading various samba docs and searching google for help -- but can't find a solution. Suggestions and solutions would be appreciated. I have set up a Linux Box (Samba 3.02) as a PDC with roaming profiles. (I haven't upgraded, because this box is a model for over 100 other boxes in the field). I can add XP users to the domain and their roaming

I've just reconfigured my Samba 3 setup so that Windows users basically only see shares they are supposed to see when they browse the Samba server through Explorer. At the suggestion of others on this list, I used the "include = /etc/samba/smb.%U.conf" feature and create a "smb.username.conf" file for each Linux user. To get Explorer to display the shares assigned to

Has anybody done such a thing as this? I'm looking to make this transition as smooth as possible. I have the new fileserver up and running, and I'm using rsync to keep the Novell data current on the Samba server. Any words of advice on transferring the users and groups and permissions over to the new server in the least painful way possible? I have some idea that Novell uses LDAP

Hi, Is there a simple way to set up Samba so that users ONLY see the shares that belong to them? I'm not talking about the user's HOME directory. But lets say I have 60 shares in my smb.conf file. To make it less confusing for users when they access the Samba server from Windows, I want the users to ONLY see the shares that belong to them. So, I want to set up each share so that

running debian 3.1 "sarge" ppc and samba 3.08 I want to have my win98se computer users to have their shares automatically mapped. 1. I have read that I would use a netlogin directory and put scripts in there? 2. Does anyone know if samba has to be set up a special way ADS, wins, etc... to use the netlogin directory and it's scripts? "this server is the only smb server

Hello Why is it necessary to specify encrypt passwords = no to make Samba server start using solely /etc/passwd? Isn't it possible to tell Samba server that on the way between a client and the server, the passwords sould be encrypted, and after decryption, they will be checked against /etc/passwd and not smbpasswd, tdb or whatever backend?

Hi, I'm running samba-3.0.5 on OpenBSD 3.5. I'm trying out using samba as a print server for the first time, and it works ok, but I have this problem where everytime I print anything, a additional blank page comes out of the printer at the end of what was just printed. It's an old HP Laserjet 4 connected to the parallel port of the samba server. /etc/printcap lp|HP4|HP Laserjet

Hi, I am using a mix of Samba 3.0.13 and 3.0.20 on Linux (basically, Mandrake 10 and 10.2). I haven't tested this yet on the 3.0.20 machines, but on the 3.0.13 machines I'm seeing something very disturbing. I have set up a number of shares which are accessible only to members of the group "workers". The shares are set to NOT allow guests even read only access. When

I recently upgraded from Samba 3.0.2a to Samba 3.0.11. I didn't change anything in my smb.conf file. But Now, when a user logs on to my Linux server and access a Samba share, in the log file for that machine there is always a message repeated twice: [2005/03/16 05:40:23, 0] printing/print_cups.c:cups_cache_reload(85) Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost - Connection refused As

Does somebody know if the Samba Client in MAC OS X (10.3.4 and 10.3.5) has problems looking at Linux-based Samba shares that are larger than 2 TB? I have Samba 3.0.2 running on my Linux box. I have never had any difficulty with the Mac seeing a 2 TB RAID array on the Linux box, but when the Mac looks at the 4 TB array, it can see all the contents and create folders but it can't create

Can anybody explain why SOME Windows XP applications have trouble writing files larger than 2 GB (or sometimes larger than 4 GB) to Linux Samba shares, when OTHER Windows applications on the same machine do not have difficulty writing large files to the same Samba share? And when the underlying Linux filesystem supports very large files? I have sometimes even found that a SINGLE Windows

Hi, Does anybody know why Windows clients can see shares that are defined by the "include=/etc/samba/smb.%U.conf" option in but Mac OS X and Linux Samba clients cannot see those shares? In other words, I have a bunch of users. Each user has a set of his/her own unique shares on my Linux server that are defined in files called: /etc/samba/smb.User1.conf /etc/samba/smb.User2.conf

Hi, I have a weird problem with a Linux Server acting as a PDC with Samba 3.02. If I map a particular Samba share as the "Z" drive -- and I use roaming profiles with a logon.bat script -- the share will NEVER automatically reconnect when logging on again. This happens 100 percent of the time. And now the same thing seems to be happening for any shared mapped as the
