similar to: SMB share/MS networking + Novell = major lag

You must create a output filter. Edit /etc/printcap and add your client printer like this: ... PC-PRINTER:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PP01:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/Filter/PP01:\ :sh: ... Adjust the printcap parameters as needed (spool directory, directory to find the filter script). Make sure the lpd can access the directory. Consult your manual. Now create the filter

I just created a new smbpasswd file, all users with unset passwords. Problem is, users can't set their passwords, only I can as root. Password is not set / blank, but they still get: >test> smbpasswd >Old SMB password: <enter> >New SMB password: Samba >Retype new SMB password: Samba >machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The >specified

I've setup samba and can connect to a share with a password, but when I try to print, it prompts for a password... my unix password doesn't work. Any ideas? (BTW- this is running on DEC unix OSF/1 4.0b Here's my smb.conf: >#======================= Global Settings ===================================== >[global] > ># workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name >

Hi all, I have two samba machines running v1.9.18p4. When I try and list the shares on the second machine (calvin) fromn the first machine (hobbes) I get this: Session request failed (131,129) with myname=HOBBES destname=CALVIN Not listening for calling name Try to connect as another name (instead of HOBBES) You may find the -n option useful for this Any idea what this is trying to tell me?

I'm trying to compile Samba 1.9.18p8 for Dec Unix OSF/1 4.0b >Using CFLAGS = -O -DSMBLOGFILE="/usr/local/samba/var/log.smb" -DNMBLOGFILE="/usr/local/samba/var/log.nmb" -DCONFIGFILE="/usr/local/samb >a/lib/smb.conf" -DLMHOSTSFILE="/usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts" -DWEB_ROOT="/usr/local/samba" -DLOCKDIR="/usr/local/samba/var/locks"

We've got users logged into Win95 with one username, and they need to log into samba using a different username.... of course if they try to map to their home directory, samba will use the current username, which doesn't match, and therefore, password invalid. How can I specify username in the mapping? \\server\homedir <then somehow a username> I know there's a way in Totalnet

I have samba setup for our department and it's working fine, with mounting drives and using printers... now I want to be able to do the same thing for all faculty with roadrunner access from home. I've put the ip xxx.xxx. of the local road runner in the smb.conf file for hosts to allow, and the machine knows about the server by adding it to c:\windows\lmhosts.sam I log in as the user on

Dear all, we have a strange behavior using Samba (Verson 3.5.2) as PDC with Open LDAP (Version 2.1.22) as backend and an old Novell-Client (version: 4.91 SP5) running on WinXP (SP3 and higher). The old PDC (Version 3.0.28) was running over years with the same LDAP-Server as backend and with Novell installed on the clients. We decided to migrate to Samba 3.5.2 , updated all the LDAP schemas

Hi all, I hope I don't make a prat of myself with my first posting... I've got a 'niggle' with Windows XP Pro (SP1a) clients and 3.0.2a PDC (Slackware 9.1, 2.4.22). Joing a domain, logging on etc is working perfectly but I'm getting a 'File Download' security warning when I try and open an executable that's stored on the server. If I agree to open the file it

Doesn't really resolve the issue, but in my case the problem went away when using physical machines rather than virtual machines. The environments are identical - RH ES 3.0 with Windows XP sp1a client (no hotfixes or GPO settings applied). Thanks for everyone's help.

I've just about given up on trying to get WinXP SP2, Cisco VPN Client 4.6.x, Samba 3.0.x PDC and NetBT working properly - without long login and offline file sync delays. The VPN client is most of the problem when SP2 is installed, but all is fine with SP1. Being we have nothing but WinXP clients on the network, I'd like to explore disabling NetBT altogether, since the slowness

I received this message when trying to connect and install a new printer driver for a new printer on a Samba server under Windows XP: "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" The following TechNet article answers this problem - it's a policy problem on the local machine: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=259937

Hello, My company has decided to upgrade everyone from win98 to winXP. So, I've begun the process of setting up a test network to test samba with winXP before the XP rollout begins. I downloaded samba-3.0b1 a couple weeks ago, compiled it, and started configuring it. For the most part everything has been a breeze. I have a winXP SP1a machine on the test network that currently sees

Hi, I'm dropping a little question. I've set up a samba server and homes and public shares. Everything works almost fine. The only thing that bothers me is about files and directory masks. In ssh session, I got files with 0700(-rwx------) mask and dirs with 0755(drwxr-xr-x) mask. As I see, there are many mask options in smb.conf so I'm not really sure wich would best fit with my needs

Dear All, Sorry to repeat a question I've seen mentioned before, but have not been able to find a solution to my specific instance. I have an XP SP2 box (and one with no SP), and some Win2K boxes, and a Samba server (3.0.9-2). The Win2K boxes can all copy files to the server at a reasonable speed, but the XP boxes are all dreadfully slow. FTP from the XP boxes is fine. The XP boxes can

As many of us suffer this problem I would like to share my success with the list. This weekend I made this configuration work ! After this procedure you can access the samba machine, from any client (Win-XP, Win2k, Win2k3, Win9x and WinNT) using \\samba-netbios-name\share-name (using kerberos) or \\samba-ip-address\share-name (using NTLM) Debian Woody 3.0R2 Samba-3.0.4 MIT Kerberos 1.3.4 Windows

I've got a problem with roaming profiles. I've googled, trolled the mailing lists, and read the documentation. Problem details I'm running samba 3.0.7 as PDC with WinXP clients. When I log onto WinXP as a domain user the profile is downloaded (you can tell because it takes a while and hub is lit up) but the profile won't load properly. Specifically I notice that the desktop is

I have almost the same setup (NT4 domain, with W2K3 Terminal Server).... I am using Suse 9.2, Samba 3.0.21b, with winbindd on a generic x86 server. No special package configurations...just the rpms from samba for Suse. I do have the same problems. -- I have home directories mapped for users. When I log into the Term Server with RDP my home directory on my Samba box comes up just fine.. What

Hi list, I hope that maybe one of you can shed some light on this, as this is a very strange case and I don't even have the slightest clue from what this symptom may all come from. Maybe not Samba, maybe Hardware, maybe buggy windows ..... Problem: We have running a Samba 3.0.7 (from backports.org) Debian 3.0 STABLE Server here for over a year now. On Tuesday this week we got the first
