similar to: Can't get Samba to work as a print/file server

Dear list, last friday I had a frustrating experience during the update of my samba server. I've been running samba since 1998, now there are 50 users with win2k-boxes attached - the samba server acting as PDC. Becauce of a swap of the old server I finally decided to update to 2.2.8a. What I did (in general): - installed the new server with suse 8.2 prof - Installed the suse-rpms for

Hi, I've recently started at a new company that doesn't have a system in place to map my Linux home directory within Windows. I have my own Linux box (a recent Redhat install), and my own Windows XP PC. I will get no help from a system admin here, so my only option is to try installing Samba myself on my Linux box. To my surprise, I've found little or no information on installing

I have Samba 2.2.8 running on Debian Woody for S390. I am trying to connect via the wins server list that is on a win 2000 wins server, but I don't see my linux server in the list. I can ping and search and find the server by name. I looked in the log.nmdb for messages, but the file is not being created. Following is my smb.conf file # Samba config file created using SWAT # from

I'm having problems getting "Secret is bad" with the command "wbinfo -t". I get good results with "wbinfo -u", "wbinfo -g", and "wbinfo -m". I also have positive results with all the samba tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt. I've tried deleting the computer account and recreating many times on my Windows 2000 Domain Controller (everything is native

I've set up my Samba PDC to act as a WINS server, because I need remote access to it (through a VPN connection). I put "wins support = Yes" into the smb.conf file. As far as I know, WINS doesn't use a unique port number, so enabling the usual NetBIOS ports (137/udp, 138/udp, 139/tcp) on the firewall should be enough to make WINS work. I did this already. I tried to connect to a

Dear all, I've tried to setup a directory share with SAMBA using the option security=domain. Infact I want that all the users' authentication is forwarded to an NT PDC without making UNIX users or mapping such users to NT domain ones. Anyway I had my Linux machine in the domain (through the PDC), then I used smbpasswd -j <DOM> -r <PDC>. After all, starting nmdb and smdb, I

Sorry to bother those of you who are faced with issues probably not as trivial my concern, but I am hitting a brick wall. I am upgrading from Samba 2.2.5 to 3.0.14a on a Solaris 8 box. I have configured, run make, makepkg and installed using pkgadd. I am using the same smbpasswd file and smb.conf file I used with 2.2.5. However, these files are now in the /etc/samba directory rather than the

either 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x networks? Don't forget to use a full stop after them like: hosts allow 192.168.1. 192.168.2. or you could write it like: hosts allow 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 > =A0 =A0 Okay, let me ask one basic question at a time. > > =A0 =A0 I "was thinking" that I didn't have to actually mount samba > (smbmount) in the past, back years

Hi samba list. We have installed two unix machines running samba 2.2.2. Also, we have a NT server with an nt domain. Both samba servers belongs to TESTGROUP (we don't want to put samba into a nt domain). The things works fine, until we include two pc-clients into the same group. Those pcs cannot browse the network, also, they cannot see itself. The problem was solved when we include

Greetings! Tonight is unfortunately the first small bit of time I've had to even try to get Samba configured between my Vista and my Linux FC4. (My mother as well as my extremely limited home time dealing with important things are my main delays.) It's not going well. :-) I have added hosts allow with 192.168.1 and 192.168.2. I have experimented with a few things. I

Thanks for the replys... Just a basic samba server...being accessed by windows 7 to the gc and tmr shares with \\10.10.171.9\gc and \\10.10.171.9\tmr This has been running for a year without any issues...till the update yesterday afternoon :-( The file server is Ubuntu 18.04 and there was an update to Ubuntu 18.04.1, which I thought would be a mild step. The current version of samba is...

After updating Samba from 3.0.20 to 3.0.21c NMDB is only bound to my NIC's IP but no longer to 127.0.0.1 though my smb.conf parameters are interfaces = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = yes As a result SWAT does not show the status of NMDB any longer. Any idea which parameters are different to 3.0.20 or is this a bug in 3.0.21c?

I just loaded Mandrake 7.1 and Samba with Webmin. I can get into Webmin and make changes to the Samba server, but I'm not able to get smbd or nmbd running. When I try to get into SWAT to make changes it keeps reverting back to my login which does not allow me to make changes. Is there a way to reset this? Also, any ideas on why smdb and smdb is not running? (go easy on me. I'm new to

Scenario: One Samba server with multiple network adapters each hooked to a different network. Question: How can I configure Samba (nmdb) to show different shares when browsing the Samba server from clients connected to the different networks? Background: The nmdb is always running in a single instance, doesn't matter how often it is started. Regards Richard

Hi everyone, I'm new in this list and I hope I'll write my problem in a right way. So, this is my problem: Every an undefined time (It could be 5 min or 20 min) my pc restarts the samba service and It writes this line on the screen: "Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smdb only" I have Ubuntu Server 9.10 x32. I am looking for fix this problem for a long time but I don't know

Hi, I'd like to get a rough idea on how much work it would be to port Samba to a non-unix platform. My plan was to use a slimmed-down samba to read and write files on a particularly unfriendly piece of proprietary hardware we use at work. I'm fine with a minimalistic samba as this port would be for internal, single-developer use and not intended for file serving in general. Here are some
