similar to: Samba3 - small lan [2] - fstab & smbfstab

Hi, I have posted to this list once before without any reply. It would be nice if some reply could indicate why the posting was not appropriate and some indication as to what one should do - the last time I included my smbconf. This time I have reworked my questions, limited their scope , and put them in two emails. I have two essentially identical linux computers [east and west] both running

Hi, John, thanks for replying. I am fully aware that this is a volunteer effort and do appreciate it very much. I really didn't expect an automatic answer - I was suggesting an automatic response which could indicate the objection[s]? I have downloaded the S3be `book' and ordered it from amazon. I was puzzled by your comment: `Please do not refer to smbfs's friends as Samba. The

Hello, I have the following in /etc/samba/smbfstab; //msserver/share /mnt/smb-share cifs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,credentials=/etc/cifsusers/admin,rw However, when using 'mount /mnt/smb_dir' I get; mount: can't find /mnt/smb_dir in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab Using 'mount -a' doesn't mount either. If I use "smbmount /mnt/smb_dir" I get; Could not

Hi, armed with Samba-3 -by example I proceeded to test my 2 linux lan [suselinux pro 9.1 with Samba 3.0.9-2.6-suse]. I followed instructions and made the smb.config as small as possiblw: [global] workgroup = snj server string = Samba Server guest ok = yes [orb] comment = removable 2.2 gb hd path = /orb browsable = yes read only = no However, I was stumped practically immediately as you can

On a working printer & system I needed to change the printer definition on one of two systems each with a printer [samsung laser and hplj4]. Yast2-printer stalled at 50% [loading configuration] and had to be closed. When I tried again the cups daemon died when trying to save the printer definition. I found that /etc/cups/ was empty! Re-installing the printer function in Yast2 did not do any

Hi guys, I have a problem with samba when using shares. The link is there, so i can read and write files, but samba gives me an error it can't chmod the file, so i suppose i forget something in smbfstab. Hope you guys can help. Here is my smbfstab ..... //simons/LVWin60 /home/beheer/Documents/simons username=BEHEER,password=secure,uid=SIMONS,gid=users -- here SIMONS is the name of

hi, I thought it would be easy and over quickly - it has been anything but... I decided to test and use Samba 3.+ on my Suse linux pro 9.1 lan but cannot get it to work and need some help/guidance. I have two essentially identical linux computers [east and west] and I have both of them as both server AND client. At a later date, after this `simple' lan works, I plan to add a ms portable

I'm new to wine and suse 8.1. I d/l the most current wine version for suse8.1 = 200303.. and rpmed it. I was surprised that wine was not updated with Yast but only directly with rpm.-F ... Does anybody you know why? I had tried it first and it seemed to work but rpm -q showed the same date! I now have doubts on all the other rpm patches/updates ... The win3.1 program is special purpose

Help I am not having much success getting the program to work and would appreciate some pointers and suggestions for further tests. I ran the program: wine accts.exe from its program directory without debug and got the following: wine already configured, run 'winesetup' to reconfigure. why is the above msg considering that wine would not run if it wasn't configured? I hope the

Hello I am connecting to an NT server via a Linux client. I am mounting the drive on the client via the following in smbfstab: //server/Users /home/dm215/Desktop/SambaBringover smbfs username=user,password=pass,suid,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=770,dmask=770,rw It works fine except the local user uid=1000 cannot write to certain directories. The initial directory (//server/Users) is writable by

SuSE 9.0 Pro - Kernel 2.4.21 - Samba 2.2.8a and 3.0.1-14 Here's my problem: On a box runninng XP, I have a shared folder which contains 130+ subdirectories. This share is mounted on my linux box from '/etc/smbfstab', but some directories do not show up in directory listings. It's never more than one, and which one varies, but generally seems to be in or near the last half of the

Hi, Thanks for the suggestions - the immediate problem is solved. I feel that a monstrous weight has been lifted. I tried the suggestions and the printer connection is back - wonderful!!!!! what a relief! I stopped the firewall and samba so it is one of them, or both which is causing the problem? I would vote for samba3 as the culprit because the printer loss occurred on both machines on a 2

Hi list, is it possible to add multiple homedir templates to smb.conf ? I have a running linuxsystem where homefilesets are mounted from different windows-servers to subdirs like: /home/server01/home/USERNAME /home/server02/home/USERNAME /home/server03/home/USERNAME The users come via winbind.

Hi, I'm trying to mount the samba shares into my SuSE 9.2 workstation, with no luck. Our server is in production, so there's nothing wrong in our samba server. But I can't mount my shares under KDE. Doing it with mount -t smbfs gives me a lot of Time Out errors, and the mount is unable to show any files. Seems that the smbfs module is broken in the 2.6.8 kernel. I don't know

I recently switched from using Redhat Linux 9 to SuSE 9.2 Pro and am having problems with an auto mounted share served from a Macintosh running Mac OS 10.3.6. I can read from the share without problems. However, writing to it is a different story. All the files/folders on the share are owned by janee in the group janee and have rw owner and group permissions. I've tried playing with the
