Hi guys, I have samba domain controller running at a client. It's a fairly simple and straightforward setup, uses smbpasswd for auth, nothing fancy. The client wants to be able to vpn in and access their files. I setup pptp, and use the built in WindowsXP client. After establishing the vpn connection, I can access the domain controller. I get asked for my username and pass - type in

Hi! How do you guys solve windows security updates? Is there a way to force windows computers to be updated. Even more flexible is if one can update windows through login script.

Hi, I've have Samba 2.2.8a setup on a OpenBSD box. I have wav files stored on the samba shares. Samba seems to access these files reeeaaalll sllloooww. Can I tune Samba up to match the speed of WinXP and Win2K machines on my net? Or is Samba just that slow? Thinks in advance, Mac

Curious what folks think the best choice of filesystem is, specifically when used for Samba and regular Unix users (SMB+NFS access). I'm using Reiser now but its slow and doesn't work good XP attributes. I've also used XFS (a couple of years ago) and liked it but had some troubles with cross-platform Unix and the extended ACLs. What's the preference today? Thanks -- Eric A.

Hello, How do-you handle applications deployment with SAMBA domain and Windows XP workstations ? non free softwares are ok too :-) Thanks !!

SUSE 9.1 Samba 3.0.9 Wn 98 I am having an issue with windows 98 and a samba printer. I am able to get to all the shares on the server and the printers from other clients (win 2K / XP) and am able to get to all the shares fine via win98. However, after I install the printer and try to print a page it requests the 'NETWORK PASSWORD' This box is completely open for all the shares using

Hai , I am new to samba. I have configured samba 3 as PDC and when I add win2k client into my DC, the client says 'unable to find 'mydomain' name , may be due to DNS Issue. I have also configured bind as dns server and I have the forward & reverse records for 'mydomain'. I read that I need to add some SRV records for active directory clients(win2k/winxp). But I

Do anyone have any experience using 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections with Samba? Specifically, if you have had such an experience, can you share what sorts of optimizations you made to get the maximum data transfer between server and workstation? I am just experimenting with this kind of setup myself and I see a huge GULF between the raw TCP/IP transfers that I can make between two

Hallo, I wonder if cached credentials local logins are expected to work with samba. I have users with notebooks that I want to be domain members. If the notebook is in the wild I want the users to use their profiles (either local or roaming) stored on the notebooks. But once disconnected from the network the users can't login. I found a thread:

hi guys, I'm having trouble accessing samba share files from a windows xp client using a vpn pptp connection.

Hello to all Samba-users, and, in particular, Hallo an die deutschsprachigen Anwender von Samba ! It has been quite a while since I announced the complete translation of "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO And Reference Guide" (aka TOSHARG). I have received some requests for a printed version of the german documentation, this means to me that it has to be announced again that there will be a

Hi, My samba is 3.0.13 version. I got a funny problem. UserA logs on to a shared (all users can read/write/execute rights) drive and opens an excel file. UserA closes the file or modifies it. When UserA reopens the file in 5 secs or less, the file seems to be lock by the computer that UserA is on! When UserA had closed the file, UserB on another computer tries to open the file and it says

Hi all. Long time no write :) Have been looking at recycle bin options using the VFS options. Everything works fine, but I have one question/snag. We use a script that uses smbclient to send a message to a machine to warn them they are low on space. So the user thinks "oh dear" and deletes stuff. Problem is on the quota system its still counted as part of their user space... Is there

Hi, i learned a lot about cups, samba and printerdrivers the last few days and hours. I found a lot of mistakes but i can't change the following situation: I CAN NOT delete printjobs! I can connect to the printers, automatic download the driver, print, stop the printer, start the printer. Any tips, links, hints would be nice. My setup: Debian Sarge - Samba 3.0.14a - Cups 1.1.23. nss_ldap

I was wondering, if it's possible to set up Samba as a sort of a domain controller for Linux workstations? I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org
