I've recently setup an iSCSI portal on my network and have taken some servers offline. However, due to the requirements of certain software programs I need to use UNC paths. I was able to fix this issue by adding CNAME into my DNS. I'm still finding that certain programs still require to view the browse list to find the appropriate server. Since CNAME doesn't link to the

hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

I have only ever needto to run one samba/linux system. I now need 2 more added to the network. I need some direction on how to keep the 3 servers replicated with the unix passwords and the samba passwords. I will have one main systems with 2 Backup/storage systems on the same network Thanks for any information Scott Swaim

Hi, I have troubles understanding wins and network browsing functionnality. I have a samba server(pdc) on a different subnet than my clients. The server smb.conf has wins support = Yes, the client are configured to use the wins server. In the wins.dat, i can see all the computers. In the browse.dat i have only computers/servers that are in the same subnet. When i try to browse the network

Dear sirs, i`m need to chanche location of browse.dat file. By default it store in /var/cache/samba Change parameter "lock directory" in smb.conf is not help. Samba version is 3.0.24 (from debain pkg) I`m try to start 2 domains from one server. I`ve got my 2 config files (with separate pids, net interfaces, log files) and both servers run, bound to the correct interfaces. Both domain

Greetings, I'm trying to track down and eliminate the sources of excessive disk activity in an idle system that is resulting in premature hard disk failure. Access time updates to inodes turned out to be the worst culprit, triggering writes every 35 seconds or so. Mounting filesystems with the noatime option fixed that problem. But not too far behind inode updates is the frequent

I am fighting a browsing problem and am wondering what is the structure of the "browse.dat" file. Specifically what is the second field and should it be unique?? TIA cadplex@bcl.net

I realize this is most likely the most killed topic anyone on the net. Most of the information i've found don't directly answer this question. I have a Samba server set up as the DMB and LMB via smb.conf. I have set up nmbd to do WINS. I setup all my XP box clients to use my Samba server. I ran Ethereal on the server and can see the Samba server wins election for DMA and LMB. I can

Hi, I'm running 1.9.18p7 in two places (two separate networks): one on Solaris 2.5 and one on Linux 2.0.33 (RedHat 4.1). The latter works fine, browsing included, 'smbclient -L server' lists the machines and workgroups/domains. However, this is on a small (two subnet) network. However, the Solaris installation does not appear to be working properly (for browsing... everything

Ok, here's my setup: I've had a samba file server going for about a year now. It's Samba v2.05a on a RH6.0 sys. Currently we have a printer server running on a Winblows NT box. This NT box has the following printers: HP5si, (4) HP4000, and a few HP4s. All of those printers have Jet Direct ports on them. What I want to do is, move all the printers over to the Samba box and KILL the NT

I've got a moderate network with several subnets, a number of domains and workgroups. I have a central WINS server, each domain has its own PDC. My problem is transient users. We have occasional users who plug a laptop into the network. Once they leave, they hang around in Network Neighborhood forever. Then I have users who curiously click on their icon in NN and their machine just

Hi, I'm on a network with a Samba 2.2.8a fileserver + PDC (Mandrake Linux 9.0) and various Win2000 Pro clients. Very often, when I log off from one client and log on a different one soon after, I get an error message telling me that the remote profile cannot be loaded, and the local one will be used, as if the profile was still locked by the previous session. One peculiar thing to notice is

Appologies for double posting this. I managed to add it to the end of an old thread instead of starting a new one, anyone recommend a mail client that shows threads? :) Hi, I'm trying to run 2 domains from the one server. I've got my 2 config files and both servers run, bound to the correct interface if started normally. The problem I have occurs when I try to start both at once.

Hi, I'm using samba 3.0.7 as file server and WINS server. We have a primary domain called BIKER which is working great. Anyhow, for some testing purpose we are using different Workgroups now and then. The problem is, those Workgroups stay in the "Network Neighborhood" although they are offline for quite a while. When I'm moving a Workstation from a workgroup to the domain, it

Hello. I'm trying to automate some error reporting on tests run on our labs, and I'd love to pop up messages on the users' screens when that happens. However, some of the computers in question don't have a corresponding <03> section in the PDC's wins.dat file. (Oh: Samba 2.2.8a, under Debian.) Any ideas as to why it wouldn't be there? The clients are all W2K

I am looking at putting the medisoft application on a samba share. I was wondering if there is currently anyone using this configuration and if so then what are some of the problems that I might encounter. The app is currently being hosted on a Winxp pro machine and I need to move it to a server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Scott Swaim

I'm not sure where else to turn for this, I've seen this problem mentioned in a multiple places but haven't seen any resolution for it. Below is what's showing up in my remote samba WINS server. My setup is that I've got the samba servers connecting through a dedicated VPN. I've set up the WINS to allow for browsing across the VPN. If anyone can help me out or point me in

Hi, I have a network with three different sites, each with their own workgroup, each on their own subnet, connected by a VPN. Each site has a master samba server, acting as a domain master and wins server. Each site has a mixture of Windows (mostly 2000 professional) and linux workstations on each workgroup. I am trying to get all workgroups and all machines viewable in 'network
