similar to: findsmb, windows xp sp2 not listed?

In 2.2.8a days, findsmb would print the OS and Server version of the machines it found, like this: *=DMB +=LMB IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION --------------------------------------------------------------------- 192.168.49.247 WINQA1 [QATEST] [Windows 5.0] [Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 192.168.49.250 WINQA2

I have a samba server 3.0.28a set up on ubuntu 8.04, which is accessed by a windows xp client. The windows machine can see and download all the shared folders from the linux machine, and the linux machine can download from the windows machine with smbclient. However, when I issue "findsmb" the linux machine only reports itself, not the windows machine. The man pages show it

Hello Herb, all. I recently played a bit harder with Samba, as I'm working on getting it set up for my sister (remotely). I came across Herb's old 'findsmb' perl script which got me a lot further along than I had been. I wanted to note a small patch I made in order for the script to deal with 'bad' characters in the machine names: --- /usr/bin/findsmb Mon Oct 12

Hi, Re: http://optics.ph.unimelb.edu.au/help/samba/findsmb.1.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pb/NSLU2/NSLU2.html#S0500 Could you please advise whether or not "findsmb" should work on a WindowsXP machine?. *'findsmb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.* ** I'm trying to set-up a Linksys NSLU2 to run Apache, php and MySQL and am

We're running an older version of Samba on an Irix machine, and just got 2.0.2 working (finally!) on our Intel/Linux box. The odd thing, is that findsmb gives different results on the two systms. On Irix it lists the NetBIOS names with OS descriptions, but on Linux it lists the IP name and no OS description. I went through it line by line and found the first difference at: ../nmblookup -r

In hope and all googled out, have used the basic samba functions for some time. Have now installed a few RH ES3 & 4 machines and in the majority of cases, just have PC's access directories on the Linux servers and mount points from Linux to PC's. Have noticed, after the fact, that findsmd only finds itself. On the same network have two Linux machines Redhat 7.2 findsmb gets all

I use samba 3.0.10 on my linux box and I would like to access to a winXP LSD (it's a kind of light windows based on Service Pack 2 (SP2)). Unfortunately, it doesn't work although it worked with a SP1 windows. Here is what I have done : $ smbclient -L ip_winxp .... added interface ip=192.168.0.4 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Netbios name list:-

What am I missing? Samba 3.0.23b using Mandriva 2007 and an Iomega NAS drive on which I can read and write files using ftp, I can mount it on /mnt/share with the appropriate smbmount command. But findsmb shows the form in which the IP ADDRESS and NETBIOS NAME should be listed but never finds the drive. Why not?

This is a resend. I'm seeing this odd system with an IP from a different subnet again. Again ideas why this happens? Does anyone know why I might see the following output from 'findsmb'? Notice the unknown system on a completely different subnet. Would this normally be seen if someone brought in a system with a static IP on a different subnet and connected it to the network? IP

What does it mean if a windows XP consistently doesn't show up in findsmb even when it does show up in smbstatus? Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but the same machine sometimes shows up in smbstatus with two different PIDs. We've seen this with two different machines, both running XP. Here's smbstatus output (the machine in question is accountingiii): Samba

Three PCs but four environments (Fedora Core 3 and SuSE 9.2 are installed on the same hard drive, use Fedora's GRUB as a common boot partition and native partitions for each respective distribution), on each 'rpm -qa | grep samba' returns: Red Hat 9 (client) samba-3.0.14a-1 Fedora Core 3 (server) samba-common-3.0.14a-1 samba-3.0.14a-1 samba-swat-3.0.14a-1 samba-client-3.0.14a-1

Hai Stephan, You need also this in smb.conf # enable offline logins winbind offline logon = yes I did also test my logins with one DC turned off. And login on the DM is no problem or my pcs, no problem. I did not test the AD logins thats because these have only linux logins for maintainance. And that always works. In a 2 DC setup, setup your nameservers first to the LAN ip of the

Hi guys, First of all, thanks for your great work. So many people *need* Samba to work...! I have a couple of questions about Samba. I have been fiddeling with Samba config files for some time now (as well as reading documentation about it), and... there must be something I am missing. The network I am managing has a very, very standard configuration. It's a C class (netmask:

Hi, ive created a new user "myuser" with his primary group "users". after adding him with pdbedit -a -u myuser to samba pdbedit -L doesnt list the users group...? how can i set it? greets Julius

Hi, im reading the Samba 3 Howto / Chapter 7. Standalone Servers at the moment, where can i get more infos about: passdb backend = guest ? Greets Julius

I'm running Samba 3.0.7 on Mandrakelinux 9.2 as a PDC, with a few shares from the PDC and more on a separate Mandrakelinux 10.0 member file server, also running Samba 3.0.7. The passdb backend is LDAP and clients are all Windows XP Professional SP1. Except for the below, everything works great! We make heavy use of offline files, and with Windows XP SP1, all is well. However, when I

I posted a while back about problems logging in via a laptop with XP SP2 on. Today I have found some more information (i.e. something else now doesn't work) which should help the developers identify/solve the problem. As far as I can see this has not been on the list. My original problem was that having installed XP SP2 & 3.0.6-1 (as a new install) I found a laptop, which I usually log

I have samba 3.0.4 acting as a local master browser and couple of win xp sp1, sp2, win 9x client machines. Everything works fine excepts win xp sp2. It just disappears from network neighborehood in about 15-20 minutes after start. stop/starting "Server" system service on this machine solves problem for next 15-20 mins. %) What can be done about it? Is there any sence to upgrade samba to
