Hi, I'm having strange performance problems with samba and an application written with VisualFox Pro. This application is entirely installed in a Windows share and it has a hystory of strange phenomenons. Initially it ran fast on an old NT server (but that server has been replaced). It has strange performance problems with Windows 2000 Server: it runs fast with some servers and slow with

Hello, I'm trying to use samba (Version 2.2.3a-6 for Debian) as a DC for a windows 2000 pro network. Everything seems to work OK, except the roaming profiles. Every few days (I haven't locked down a pattern yet) all machines connected to the server loose their connection, and no one can connect again until the server is rebooted. I'm using log level 3, and this is what log.smbd

Hi team, I've got a problem with a WinXP client being unable to save a document to a Samba share. The server is running 2.2.6pre2 (on FreeBSD 4.6). The XP client hangs for a VERY long time when attempting to save a file (at least the first file saved - the problem seems to diminish for subsequent saves/files). Turning the debug level to 3 produces the following messages (repeated many many

I have a Red Hat 8.0 PC with a scanner connected and I am scanning images with sane. I would like to store the scanned images on a Red Hat 7.3 file server using Samba, but I am having some difficulty understanding how the file and directory security preferences work. I can attach to the share (called "Shared") with: smbmount //server/Shared /mnt/S -o username=username%password and

I'm hoping someone has some insight into a problem I'm currenty having, which is: No one is able to edit (in place) documents with Word 2000 on a samba (2.2.6) disk share. A user can open word and save a document to the share, but when they go to edit the document Word says "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error". From Microsoft KB Q211632 it appears

Hi all I am fairly new to samba and XP. I have a client who we set up a samba server for, they are complaining about documents taking about 30 secs -2-3mins to open but only sometimes (it can be very frequent). I have seen this and captured a piece of the log file I wonder if any one can make any sense of it... I have been looking on the net and trying various things all day but to no avail...

<Long Post, sorry!> Folks, I have a really nasty problem preventing me from migrating a bunch of NetWare 5 servers to Samba--attempts to copy large (> 2MB+) files to any samba share results in an error. To clarify what I mean by "error": 1. I attempt to copy, using explorer, a 2MB+ file to any samba share. 2. A 30 second or so pause occurs (copying this file to any other

Dear List, we are currently using Samba 3.0.4 (rpm from Sernet - http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/) on SuSE 8.2 with XP SP2-clients. The problem is: When we try to upgrade to Samba 3.0.7, the clients can't load the users profile, the error message says, that it can't find the path (though it works well for 3.0.4). Here is a snippet of the error messages in log.smb with log level 4:

When I type the user name and password to logon onto our network (samba is the pdc) it takes a long time to login. How can I go about speeding this up? Is it a Win Xp issue or do I need to tweak samba? Also, when I login in to an XP machine I get a script (looks like some sort of logon script) that shows up in notepad on the desktop and stays there until I close it. What is this and how can I

Hi folks, I've got a serious problem with samba since I upgrade an stone-age caldera-box with a 2.0.x-samba to redhat-7.2 with 2.2.1a-samba. I can create, delete directories and files without any problems. But renaming them (i.e. by creating a new folder which has new folder as default) does not work. I always get an error, that the file does not exist. I am trying from a win2k-professional

Hi all, I have a share with the following share definition: [HR_PR] path = /data/samba/shares/HR_PR valid users = @hr @acct_admin browseable = yes public = no guest ok = no force group = hr inherit acls = yes create mode = 770 The UNIX permissions on the directory are as follows: drwxrwx--- 2 root hr 4096 Apr 18 09:47 /data/samba/shares/HR_PR When I 'su' to my user on the server, I

Dear list; I have been using samba 1.9.18p10 on a Sun Sparc Ultra 2 for about a year. I use it to share a directory to an NT/95 network. I now have a Sun Sparc Ultra 10 running Solaris 2.6. In order to prepare the Ultra 10 for y2k I downloaded samba-2.0.6-nonis+-sparc-sun-solaris2.6.pkg.gz from

Hi; I've run into a somewhat interesting issue in regards to IIS serving content from a samba share. Occasionly, IIS will return 404 errors for content that does infact exist. >From the samba machine, I captured the following: This is an example of the site http://www.mysite.co.nz/foo not working: [2004/11/04 09:30:14, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(2353)

I've battled this one for a few days now and its costing my sanity so I am hoping that someone here has an answer I am running the samba server 3.0.4 on a linux 2.4.25 server. I can connect to my share point and authenticate fine I can create files or directories in the root of the sharepoint fine I can go into subdirectories and look at all the files...

What u wrote here: >>once again this folder stdc++.txt does exist.... ...reminds me on having charset problems with samba, doing the same stuff here until I set up the right charsets. Also, u see in logfile: >>call_trans2qfilepathinfo: vfs_stat of New Folder2231113/.directory failed >>(No such file or directory) And u say: >>but this directory NewFolder2231113 does

Everything is working perfect on win95 but from NT4: I can create, delete and rename files I can create and delete directories Problem: I can't rename created directories from the NT4 workstations on the network. And this is a big problem since NT4 creates a "New Folder" and asks you to type in the name you want. I have a 2.0.6 distribution on a SGI Origin200 Irix6.4 server. I

Hi, I just compiled samba 3.0.23 on our Sun Solaris 8 server. 3.0.22 was running fine and I used the same compiler options for 3.0.23. $ ./configure --with-acl-support --prefix=/usr/local/samba3023 --with-quotas --with-included-popt --without-ldap --with-vfs gcc version 3.4.2 GNU Make 3.80 Running make now throws a lot these warnings: [-snip-] Linking nsswitch/libnss_wins.so ld: warning:

Hello, I'm running Samba 3.6.6-1 on my x64 Arch Linux installation. I recently decided to have my samba share support NTFS's Alternate Data Streams by using streams_xattr or streams_depot. With streams_xattr I discovered that if I copy a file having an ADS from a win7 box, on the linux console, I can see the ADS as an xattr attached to the file. However when I copy the file back to my

Hi, 1) Creating a Folder on a my samba share works in general via WinXP, but setting the permission doesn't. On the new Folder <right click>+<properties>+<security tab> doesn't show any selected check boxes. After selecting a check box + <Apply> doesn't "save" it. I have to do this a 2nd time and then it work. 2) Can't select the permissions
