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 have an Windows 2003 with Active Directory providing authentication to the network, and a SUSE box providing file services (currently hosting the users' homes). Now I want to migrate the roaming profiles from the Windows 2003 box to the SUSE box, but it is proving difficult. I copied a profile folder for a test user to the SUSE box and changed its permissions to give ownership

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.

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

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

We have two SUSE SLES 9.0 x86-64 servers on gigabit network, one with RAID1 and samba 3.0.4, and one with RAID10 upgraded to samba 3.0.9. Both have the same problem: when you copy from server to client, speeds are on big files about 40MB/s for RAID1 and about 60MB/s for RAID10. But when you copy to server, speed are about 8MB/s. I have set up ftp servers on them just to try ftp protocol
