I am now running samba 3.0.14a with a completely "stock from source" install (as part of my troubleshooting activities). The machine acts as a PDC for win2k clients.

Hi, I have a weird problem with a Linux Server acting as a PDC with Samba 3.02. If I map a particular Samba share as the "Z" drive -- and I use roaming profiles with a logon.bat script -- the share will NEVER automatically reconnect when logging on again.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

I'm trying to access a share on an XP Home system, from SuSE 9.3, using Samba. When I use Konqueror to browse, I can't see anything under the shared directory (D:\), though I can see the contents of the "SharedDocs" folder.
