On several occasions I have seen the apcsmart process runaway using 100% CPU while filling my syslog partition by logging the following syslog entries at an incredible rate. I have seen up to 21,800 log entries PER SECOND of the following nature: --[snip]-- Jun 25 10:06:38 servername apcsmart[4012]: Communications with UPS lost: Communications with UPS lost - check cabling Jun 25 10:06:38

I have a client who used to have an NT server, we replaced it with Gentoo Linux and Samba v3.0.9 and they are now having what appears to be some sort of file-sharing issue with Excel. When a user opens an Excel file on the file server it opens properly, no errors or warnings of any kind. But when they try to save the file, Excel warns them that "the file may have changed by someone

I have an issue I'd like to resolve with a client and the print spool icon in the systray... If the user (on w2k) mouses over the print spool icon, it tells them "xxx jobs in queue" or some such, and the xxx increments once for each new print job they send. Also, the print spool icon never disappears from the systray until a reboot, or re-login. Once a job is sent to one of the

Hi All, I have the following questions: We have some folders / shares where we store for example only .doc files. But some users also saves the .jpg files in this share. We don't want this and we wondered if we can block saving .jpg files with samba. Is there an option to set in smb.conf so we can block the saving of .jpg files? Second one: Some users saves the .doc files for example as

Sorry for such a long post as my first to the list, but in an effort to forego a long back and forth question/answer session via email, I think if I post all the information that I currently have someone may be able to more quickly spot my issue. The server in question is a Gentoo server running Samba 3.0.11. The basic problem is that when person A opens an AutoCad file, person B is unable to

Hello everyone. I recently created a set of external scripts for the Xymon Networking Monitor system to monitor and graph AC input voltage, AC output voltage, battery charge %, battery voltage, and UPS Load % of UPSes managed by the Network UPS tools (NUT) suite. The scripts make use of the "upsc" program to poll the upsd daemon and report the information back to the Xymon server for

Sorry everyone for asking this stupid question. I want add a system account to my debian system. I did it on another machine a couple of months ago and it worked fine with this command (I think). Iam typing the command: adduser MACHINENAME$ but I keep on getting this error mssg: adduser: Please enter a username consisting of a lower case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers.

Dear all, This is a continuation of another thread, but I think the question diverged enough to create a new one. I have a hiera hierarchy like this: :hierarchy: - %{fqdn} - %{secundary_group} - %{primary_group} - %{productname} - all And I need to define the secondary/primary groups as facts, on the nodes. Gary has suggested me to use plugins, that they will provide the facts before

dear samba community, we have a big problem on joining a Samba 3.5.6 PDC. Hopefully anyone has an idea/suggestion. When trying to join with a Samba 4.2.10 or 4.3.9 we got the following error on client site: Failed to pull dcerpc auth: NT_STATUS_RPC_PROTOCOL_ERROR. cli_rpc_pipe_open_schannel_with_key: rpc_pipe_bind failed with error NT_STATUS_RPC_PROTOCOL_ERROR libnet_join_ok: failed to open

Hi there, just recently joined this list as I seem to be having a little trouble that I am hoping someone can help with. I recently installed a RHEL5.5 server and updated samba to samba3-3.4.11-42.el5.x86_64.rpm. I had never set up samba to authenticate with ADS so I read a little bit and dove right in. The server now works fine, so when I browse to \\machinename<file:///\\machinename> no

Hello, I have created a machine trust account with the following command 'pdbedit -a -m -u machinename' and I noticed that after I execute the following command 'pdbedit -L -v -u machinename', the Unix username is in lowercase letters? Because when I attempt to join a domain with a Windows 8.1 machine, it emits a error that it can't find the Machine account? Does it

I posted basically this problem yesterday with no response, but I have some new information so here's a rego. I mount a solaris box which is sharing files with pc-netlink I use the following line in my fstab //machinename/Share /mnt/machinename/share smbfs credentials=/etc/fstabpwds/username,ro,user 0 0 And it mounts fine, I can access all the directories, and most of the files.

Hello. I have samba working with ADS and winbind (upgrading from nt4/samba-2.0.7 to w2k3/samba-3.0.4). Everything seems cool, but for one thing. My old homes share used to look like this: [homes] path=%H/sam valid users = +%G,%U force user = %U force group = %G write list = +%U create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 browseable=no read only = no It worked beautifully. But the whold valid

I'm trying to track down why I can't seem to add a computer to the domain. I've looked high and low to no avail. Right now, when I try to add the computer as a "trusted machine," I've added it to the Unix passwd dB with the appropriate machinename$ and the added the machine to the dmbpasswd via: smbpasswd -a -m machinename But, when I go to add the machine to the

I have been setting up Windows servers to serve windows clients for many years and am now looking at samba as an alternative. I am currently having a problem setting up samba as a PDC for windows XP clients. I can see the samba server through My Network Places. If I try to access it I can after putting in one of the usernames and passwords I have set up using smbpasswd. I have added a machine

We have recently started having an odd problem with printing via samba (3.6.1). Samba is joined via security = ads to our domain. We do not use winbind on this system. Our account usernames are provided via openldap. User starts system (generally windows 7 64bit, but we've seen it on 32bit windows 7 and XP), sometimes they can print, sometimes they can't. If they reboot, they can almost
