Paul, Deryck, et al., Thanks for all of your help (OP isn't savvy--what was your first clue? <g>). After sufficient prodding, I went and looked and found the following URL, at our very own samba.org, for rpms for Samba v 3.0.14a:

I'm running FC3 with its bundled samba 3.0.11-fc3, and I'm trying to update to 3.0.14a. I've downloaded the rpms from samba.org, and (I think) I've backed up the original samba installation--/etc/samba--and I've stopped smb (I had to kill the smbd and nmbd processes; "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop" didn't work). I've also withdrawn (make uninstall) an

Hi, ntsysv doesn't list the samba daemons (smbd, nmbd), and while I could use chkconfig, it appears, to add the daemons, I'd rather do this via the rcx.d links so I can understand what's going on.

Greetings, Running FC3, kernel 2.6.9-1.667.i686, Samba v 3.0.11. I have been able to guts up Samba by adding a procedure to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but I can't get the system to start from the /etc/rc.d/rcx.d directories. I have an smb script in /etc/rc.d/init.d that is soft-linked from the rcx.d directories, and that runs just fine when I invoke it from the command line, but apparently the

Actually, my problem turns out to be even more basic and foolish than that. I assumed that since the relevant Kill files were present in the ls listing, then the Start files would be, too. Nope. I had to make those soft links; when I did, everything worked properly. Eric Hines -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Paul Gienger <pgienger@ae-solutions.com> <snip> Date: Sun, 27

I'm running FC3 and Samba 3.0.14a. I'm trying to work through Exercise 2.3 of the on-line Samba-3 by Example, and mostly things ore OK, but I can't get my print share to show up when I run smbclient -L localhost -U %. Everything else shows up correctly (although I do get two workgroups to appear, as there is another workgroup to which I used to belong before I separated from it (I

I have a 2Win2k, 1Linux (server) LAN; the server is running FC3 and Samba 3.0.14a. I am unable to get both users access to their individual shares. Essentially, I'm working through the Accounting Office example (pgs 31-35) of John Terpstra's 2004 Samba-3 By Example, and I'm doing something foolish and wrong on a basic level. I can get access to, and manipulate the files in, my

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, maybe it's a bug, maybe not. I added some groups in the field "valid users" in SWAT and committed my changes. After that, this option disappears. When I manually delete all groups in the smb.conf, in SWAT this option is available again. I'm running Samba 3.0.14a (SerNet). Greetings, Holger -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

One more thing I forgot to mention. The chapter calls for editing /etc/resolv.conf, but in my case it won't stay edited--it keeps getting set back to an original form (for searching my ISP) on every reboot. Thanks again.

Hi everyone, In the last few days I've spended hours and hours on the web surching for a solution to my problems. Eventhough it looked like there where several other people having the same problem I couldn't find a way to solve it. Therefore I'm hoping that one of you could help me with the following problem. I've installed Samba 3.0.14a on RedHat 9.0. Samba is working perfectly.

I'm trying to do something fairly simple: login to a Linux box using a Windows AD-based account. I've followed the various recipes available online for configuring Linux (winbind, PAM, etc.) to this send, and I've got it working ... almost. I'm able to authenticate an AD-based user immediately after bringing up the Linux box, but a short time later (roughly 5 minutes, but it

I got SWAT running on OS X 10.4 and when I go to localhost:901 I am asked for password. However neither root nor admin work (I enabled root). I get: The name or password entered for area ?SWAT? on localhost:901 was incorrect. Please try again. Thanks for help, Roman Budzianowski roman@budzianowski.net
