similar to: small lan - novice

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

Hi, This is the second of 2 emails I have two essentially identical linux computers [east and west] both running Samba 3.0.9-2.6-suse with Suse linux pro 9.1 on a two machine lan - [east & west] connected by a hub. I am using `The Official Samba-3 HowTo & ref guide by Terpstra et al' as my samba reference. I am not clear which fstab to use. /etc/samba/smbfstab

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

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

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, I'm new to Samba. I use Suse linux 9.1pro & kde on a small network with Samba 3.0.9. I tried the testparm from the Official Samba -3 howto. Unfortunately the book, etc. does not address the error msg given, follows. Can somebody help? scn@scn:~> testparm -s -v | egrep "(lp|print|spool|driver|ports|\[)" Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section

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 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

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

(Please forgive the cross posting; I know many SuSE users subscribe to both the Samba and SuSE-e discussion groups and will get this message twice.) I had always been frustrated trying to get SuSE's Firewall2 to play nicely with Samba and support seamless network browsing. After much experimentation and a lot of Googling, I was finally able to get this working. By "working",

We would like to build a SuSE Professional 8.2 box as a Domain Member Server in a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain, and we are referencing Chapter 9.3.3 of Samba3-By-Example. The version of heimdal supplied with SuSE 8.2 is 0.4e. S3BE references heimdal version 0.6 plus patches. Since SuSE often backports fixes from later versions of products into older versions, the question is: will

Trying to follow Chapter 9.3.3 of S3BE to create a SuSE 8.2 Active Directory domain member server. 9.3.3 says heimdal >= .6 is required. I installed the Sernet packages and saw 0.6.2 source is included. Running ./configure after unpacking the heimdal source completes OK, but running make results in the following errors: creating libss.la /usr/bin/sed: can't read

We do have exactly the same problem. Is this already solved? cheers Reimar >Running SuSE 9.2. This problem happens with both the SuSE-supplied Samba on >the DVD, as well as the SuSE update rpms to 3.0.9.

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

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

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

While I'm able to successfully upload printer drivers with APW to my Samba 3.0.21c DMS server with CUPS, I have a hard time changing printer properties afterwards which always ends up with "access denied", although the AD account used to connect is listed in "[global] printer admin =". I noticed that "printer admin" is marked deprecated in 3.0.21c, but

We were trying to build a SuSE 9.1 box in a lab as a Domain Member server in a Windows Active Directory domain where the AD server was running Windows 2000 Server. We found that the instructions in Chapter 9.3.3 were, at least in our case, incomplete. The AD server was managing a private domain, so following the Windows Configure My Server wizard the domain was setup as
