Hi everyone, We use samba 2.0.4 and are very glad of it. However, recently I had to add a backup facility on our network, so we plan to purchase Arcserve IT for NT, in order to backup our servers. We are using mainly 3 Linux servers and 1 NT server, which runs the backup service. However, as Itried to add a simple share on the file server to enable backup, later I encounter problems with

Hi again, I was previously writing for a problem with Arcserve IT and Samba (with linux). The connection drops after 15 minutes. Continuing to understand what's happening, I discovered the following message in the logs: [1999/06/01 14:42:08, 0] smbd/files.c:file_new(85) ERROR! Out of file structures Immediatly I ran into the samba code to try to understand the cause of the problem.

My Samba-shared printers (v2.0.3) printers worked great until I updated several software packages last weekend. These printers are networked and can still be used by running lpr from the command line of my Linux (RedHat v5.2, kernel 2.2.5) server. Print jobs sent from the client machines (OS/2 and Win98) are not printed. A job sent from a client machine is apparently just lost. Nothing

Here's my setup: Caldera Open Linux Lite (kernel 2.0.29) Samba 2.0.4a Windows Domain (Two Windows NT 4.0 Servers -- one PDC, one BDC -- and numerous Windows NT 4.0 Workstations) I can see my Linux box in Network Neighborhood on my Windows NT boxes. I can open the Linux box and see the top level shares available. When I try to open a share I see one or two anonymous folders. Anyone

Hi, I have problem with a windows application called RAmicro (Lawyer software). In a programm module I get an error message from the program, can not open file.

Hi! When I enter smbpaswd as a normal user iget the following error: Connecting to 127.0.0.1 at port 139 machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified password is invalid.

Sorry that I will ask a kind of a vague question, but I don't really know how to proceed at the moment: Some of our Samba (1.9.18p10) users experience the following problem: they map a drive to a Samba share (pointing into AFS, if that matters) and see all files/dirs correctly after the password dialog. 'Some time' later (for one user usually about one hour) they try to use the drive

Hi! Even with 2.0.4, I'm still seeing a lot of oplock break failures (clients failing, see log further down). The client hangs for approx 30 secs (sometimes more) and then gets back online. At least one user can't use the file shares at all; it hangs whatever he does, and on any computer he uses (NT or 98, laptop, desktop...) Other users have less problems, but maybe they are less

We are experiencing problems with Adobe Photoshop and Samba, all versions up to 2.0.6. We run Samba off Compaq Alphaservers (ie 64 bit). Symptoms: 1) On doing a "Save As" in Photoshop, we intermittently get: "Could not save as F:\<filename> because the file is already in use or was left open". A zero length file is left on the Samba share. 2) Problem only

I'm using samba 2.1 pre-alpha. When I right click an .exe file on the most shares, explorer freezes, and must be killed to recover. The problem doesn't show up on the home shares, but appears on any other shares I create. I've experienced this problem on many different workstations. Looking at the logs, it seems to be a problem with oplocks; the part of the log that seems to apply is

We are having a problem with Microsoft visual C++ compiling source code maintained on a samba server. Occasionaly the compiler reports that it cant open the file vc50.pch. The samba server is running on a freebsd box. Taking a look at the log files it looks like when the operation fails the server is processing the command open (vc50.pch for exclusive use write setattrE write open (vc50.pch

Hi ! I have a problem after changing NT sp3 to sp4 and Samba from 1.x to 2.0.

> > Samba Fans: I currently have a number of samba servers running Samba-1.9.18 on Solaris 2.6. But each and every share requires the user to log in with not just the password but the correct username as well. Here is the interesting part. I left the security parameter as default, security=share. # Global parameters security = share workgroup = BEACORP [backup1]

Hi there ! I just upgraded (last friday night) our main Samba host to Samba 2.0.0 from version 1.9.18p10. This host provides access to our own file based database system. The number of Samba clients is around 60 (nearly all NT4.0's and few NT3.51's). The Samba 2.0.0 host runs 'uname -a': HP-UX vertex A.09.05 A 9000/720 65914162 two-user license After the upgrade change I've

Hello, Although I've been using samba for years at my customers office, I recently moved one on a HP E60 server running RedHat 6.2. The samba version is 2.0.6, untouched from the distribution. They use a (weird) accounting software built on the top of FoxPro, requiring a *huge* amount of open files. I accordingly raised the values for files-nr and inode-nr and the stats seem ok. They have

Hi everybody, I'm having issues with samba.

Hello, We have a problem with samba 2.0.3 and a lotus notes 4.6.2 client. The local lotus-notes user's databases are on the home-directory of the user in directory notes/data. The home-directory is a directory on a unix (HP) file-server and is accessed with samba. If a user wants to open the databases in his notes/data directory, he get a notes error "The parameter is incorrect".
